  • FM second antenna 3 in example 1 obtained the average antenna sensitivity lower than FM second antenna 3 related to the comparative example in the frequency band of 174MHz through 240Mz which is band III of DAB purpose antenna 4.
  • Fig. 9 shows comparison results of the average antenna sensitivities of band III of DAB purpose antenna 4 in the case of example 1 (the first embodiment) and in the case of the comparative example.
  • DAB antenna is the same antenna shape between example 1 (first embodiment) and the comparative example.
  • a solid line denotes example 1 (the first embodiment) and a dot line denotes the comparative example.
  • the unit of the lateral axis is the frequency and the unit is MHz.
  • the longitudinal axis of Fig. 9 denotes the average antenna sensitivities and one scale is 10dB.
  • DAB purpose antenna 4 in example 1 obtained a higher average antenna sensitivity in band III of DAB than the comparative example even if the shape of DAB purpose antenna 4 is the same between example 1 and the comparative example and even if, in the comparative example, DAB purpose antenna 4 and FM second antenna 3 are disposed to be more separately than example 1.
  • Fig. 10 shows the variation in the average antenna sensitivity in band III of DAB of DAB purpose antenna 4 when interval m between ground side horizontal strip 441 and FM second antenna second strip 322 of FM second antenna 3 is varied.
  • the unit of the lateral axis is the frequency and the unit is MHz.
  • the longitudinal axis in Fig. 10 denotes the average antenna sensitivities and one scale is 2dB.
  • the automotive glass antenna according to the present invention is prepared by the print of generally available conductive paste. Hence, it is desirable to provide about 3mm for the interval between the strips. Hence, a desirable interval m is 3mm through 10mm.
  • the shape of FM second antenna 3 is different as shown in Figs. 11 and 12 and the others are the same as example 1.
  • the shape, the dimension of FM second antenna 3 and the positional relationship of FM second antenna 3 to DAB purpose antenna 4 will be described using Fig. 12 .
  • FM second antenna 3 includes: FM second antenna feed point 31 disposed at the left side portion of the rear window glass; and FM second antenna element 32, FM second antenna element 32 being constituted by FM second antenna first strip 321.
  • FM second antenna first strip 321 is the horizontally extended strip and one end of FM second antenna first strip 321 is connected to FM second antenna feed point 31.
  • a ground point (not shown) is disposed on a part of the vehicle body which is placed in proximity of FM second antenna feed point 441.
  • the coaxial cable is connected between receiver (not shown) and the ground point and outer sheath conductor of the coaxial cable is grounded.
  • the feed terminal is soldered to FM second antenna feed point 31 and the AV cable is connected from the feed terminal and the ground point.
