Abstract

A vehicle antenna is concealed by utilizing, an elongated slot normally functioning only for decoration on a metal panel of the vehicle. A basic form of the antenna is a slot antenna in which a wire extends across the slot through or behind an opaque plastic plug fitted in the slot and extending in the plane of the metal panel. Plastic bumper moulding or vehicle trim may have a stem portion that is press-fittable in the slot for retaining the moulding or trim in place on the vehicle, and in such case the stem portion may be a dielectric material to an end of which an antenna element can be fitted.
