Abstract

A radar reflection-damping glazing includes a first substrate and a second substrate arranged above the first substrate in terms of surface area. A first radar-reflecting structure is arranged on the outside surface or on the inside surface of the first substrate. A second radar-reflecting structure is arranged on the inside surface or on the outside surface of the second substrate. The first radar-reflecting structure is an electrically conducting coating, into which linear decoated regions are introduced.

Claims (23)

1 - 16 . (canceled)

17 . A radar reflection-damping glazing, comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate arranged above the first substrate in terms of surface area;

a first radar-reflecting structure on an outside surface or on an inside surface of the first substrate; and

a second radar-reflecting structure on an inside surface or on an outside surface of the second substrate,

wherein the first radar-reflecting structure is an electrically conducting coating with linear decoated regions.

18 . The glazing of claim 17 , wherein a line width of the decoated regions is less than or equal to 1 mm.

19 . The glazing of claim 17 , wherein a total surface of all decoated regions is less than 5% of the electrically conducting coating.

20 . The glazing of claim 17 , wherein the decoated regions are formed as straight, continuous, or broken strips arranged parallel to one another, and wherein the distance between two adjoining decoated regions is between 2 mm and 100 mm.

21 . The glazing of claim 20 , wherein an angle α between an electric field strength vector of radar radiation and an orientation of the decoated regions is between 70° and 90°.

22 . The glazing of claim 17 , wherein the decoated regions are formed as arches, closed or open curves, closed polygons or open traverses, crosses, stars, or straight structures.

23 . The glazing of claim 17 , wherein the electrically conducting coating has a sheet resistance between 0.1 Ω/square to 200 Ω/square.

24 . The glazing of claim 17 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are connected all around to form an insulating glazing by at least one spacer.

25 . The glazing of claim 17 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are connected to one another by at least one thermoplastic intermediate layer.

26 . The glazing of claim 17 , wherein the electrically conducting coating has reflecting properties in an infrared range or in a range of solar radiation, contains at least silver or a silver-containing metal alloy, and has a layer thickness between 10 nm and 5 μm.

27 . The glazing of claim 17 , wherein the first substrate or the second substrate contain at least flat glass, float glass, quartz glass, borosilicate glass, soda-lime glass, polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, polyamide, polyester, polyvinylchloride, or mixtures thereof.

28 . The glazing of claim 17 , wherein the second radar-reflecting structure comprises a planar, electrically conducting coating, an electrically conducting coating with linear decoated regions, imprinted conductor structures, or thin wires applied to a polymer film.

29 . A method for producing a radar reflection-damping glazing, comprising:

a) applying an electrically conducting coating with linear decoated regions as a first radar-reflecting structure a first substrate; and

b) connecting the first substrate and a second substrate provided with a second radar-reflecting structure one above the other in terms of surface area.

30 . The method of claim 29 , wherein in method step a) the decoated regions are introduced into the electrically conducting coating by laser ablation, plasma etching, wet chemically or mechanically.

31 . The method of claim 13 , wherein in method step b) the first substrate and the second substrate are connected to one another by at least one spacer or by at least one thermoplastic intermediate layer.
