Abstract

A vehicle pane includes a first substrate, at least one antenna structure and a connection region, wherein the antenna structure is arranged on a flexible film, wherein, additionally, a first line region is provided on the flexible film, wherein the connection region is arranged on a carrier, wherein, additionally, a second line region is provided on the carrier, wherein the flexible film has a first contact region and the carrier has a second contact region for the reciprocal connection of the first line region to the second line region, wherein the flexible film is routed around one end of the first substrate.

Claims (13)

1. A vehicle pane comprising a first substrate, at least one antenna structure and a connection region, wherein the antenna structure is arranged on a flexible film, wherein, additionally, a first line region is provided on the flexible film, wherein the connection region is arranged on a carrier, wherein, additionally, a second line region is provided on the carrier, wherein the flexible film has a first contact region and the carrier has a second contact region for a reciprocal connection of the first line region to the second line region, wherein the flexible film is routed around one end of the first substrate, wherein the first line region is designed as a grounded coplanar waveguide.

2. The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier is rigid.

3. The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first contact region and the second contact region each have three or more electrical contact points.

4. The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first contact region and the second contact region each have five or more electrical contact points.

5. The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible film and the carrier are arranged substantially overlappingly in the region of the first contact region and the second contact region.

6. The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible film has a first patterned conductor layer and a second patterned conductor layer.

7. The vehicle pane according to claim 6 , wherein the flexible film has at least one via.

8. Vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible film comprises polyimide.

9. The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier comprises FR4.

10. The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier has at least one via.

11. The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna structure is designed to receive high-frequency signals.

12. A method comprising receiving signals for satellite-based navigation with the vehicle pane according to claim 1 .

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the signals are GNSS signals of Navstar GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, NaviC, or QZSS.
