Such glazings in vehicles have antennas for radio (AM, FM), mobile network "Long Term Evolution" (LTE), digital audio broadcasting (DAB), television (TV), digital video broadcasting - terrestrial (DVB - t), telephone (GSM), navigation (GPS), WLAN, remote keyless entry (RKE), vehicle - to - vehicle communication and vehicle - to - infrastructure communication (car2X) and paging systems. Due to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted by electronic devices (their antennas or other conductors) located on or at any other location, the antennas on the glazing may perform poorly.

[0013] In an embodiment, the length (A) is 300 to 500 mm, preferably 360 to 450 mm for the anti-FM function. In another embodiment, preferably, the length (A) is 50 to 70 mm, more preferably 60 to 65 mm for the anti-LTE function.

[0014] In an embodiment, the gap (G) between the antenna and the counter-antenna is 20 to 40 mm, preferably 28 to 32 mm for the anti-FM function; or the gap (G) between the antenna and the counter-antenna is 1 to 6 mm, preferably 3 to 4 mm for the anti-LTE function.

[0015] Preferably, the antenna further includes a connector extending from the feeding point to a connection point on the first glass window material layer.

[0016] Preferably, the connector is a flat cable, and the counter-antenna and the bridge are configured on the flat cable.

[0017] Preferably, the external circuit includes an amplifier connected to the feed point and positioned on or near the glass window.

[0018] Preferably, the second antenna is arranged in the vehicle bumper or roof.

[0019] Preferably, the first glass window material layer is tempered glass.

[0020] Preferably, the glass window further includes a second glass window material layer joined to the first glass window material layer through an intermediate layer material layer to form laminated glass.

[0021] The glass window can have any suitable shape, such as trapezoidal, rectangular or triangular. The thickness of the glass window including all glass window materials, intermediate layer materials and conductors can be any thickness, such as 2.5 mm to 10.6 mm, preferably 2.6 mm to 3.8 mm, more preferably 2.7 mm to 3.2 mm. The glass window material can be any suitable material, such as soda-lime-silica glass or borosilicate glass. Preferably, the counter-antenna, bridge and antenna are copper wires with a diameter of 0.05 to 0.15 mm, or silver prints with a thickness of 0.1 - 2 mm. The bridge and antenna can be electrically connected or connected through capacitive coupling.

[0022] The first and second glass plates can be formed by the float process and can be annealed. The glass plates can be heat-strengthened or tempered. In the laminated glass, the first glass plate can be the inner layer of the glass window material, and the second glass plate can be the outer layer of the glass window material, or vice versa.

[0023] The glass window can include one or more layers of intermediate layer materials, such as polyvinyl butyral (PVB), which is advantageous because it exhibits good adhesion after being laminated to the glass. The intermediate layer material can have any thickness, such as 0.76 mm.

[0024] In a second aspect according to claim 14, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a glass window, comprising the steps of: providing a glass window material layer; at least partially deploying an antenna on the glass window material layer, the antenna including a feed point at an end of the antenna for connection to an external circuit; positioning an electronic device on or near the glass window for transmitting a frequency (F); providing a counter-antenna for at least partially canceling the frequency (F), the counter-antenna being connected to the antenna through a bridge and extending parallel to the antenna backward towards the feed point to an end.

[0027] The present invention provides a glass window having an antenna at least partially deployed on the glass window, and a counter-antenna for at least partially eliminating a frequency (F) caused by an electronic device on or near the glass window. The present invention is highly advantageous because the signal at the feeding point of the antenna is filtered by the counter-antenna to eliminate interference, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of an external circuit connected to the feeding point.

[0028] The prior art does not disclose a counter-antenna that extends from a bridge parallel to the antenna backward toward the feeding point to an end. The bridge connects the counter-antenna to a bifurcation point on the antenna. Extending backward toward the feeding point overcomes the technical prejudice that the end of the antenna is far from the feeding point. Surprisingly, the present invention provides an antenna having two ends, one end close to the feeding point as part of the counter-antenna for eliminating the frequency (F), and the other end far from the feeding point for receiving other frequencies.

[0029] The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a glass window, which has the surprising step of extending the counter-antenna backward toward the feeding point to eliminate the frequency (F). This method avoids the step of providing alternative signal processing components at the feeding point or in the external circuit.

[0030] The use of the glass window according to the present invention in buildings and vehicles is advantageous because a standard external circuit, such as an amplifier, can be connected to the feeding point, and only less signal processing work is required to suppress electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices in use.

[0045] Figure 15 is similar to Figure 2 Plan view of a window glass according to the invention, wherein the inverted antenna has a complex shape. Detailed Description

[0046] The following is a description of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals are used. Embodiments of the present invention are described as non-limiting examples.

[0047] Figure 1 A window glass (10) is disclosed, which includes a window glass material layer (11). An antenna (1) is deployed on the window glass material layer (11) and includes a feeding point (3) at one end for connection to an external circuit (20). An electronic device (2) is positioned on or near the window glass (10) for emitting a frequency (F). A counter-antenna (5) for at least partially canceling the frequency (F) is connected to the antenna (1) through a bridge (6) and extends parallel to the antenna (1) backward toward the feeding point (3) to an end (7).

[0048] The counter-antenna (5) has a length (A) from the bridge (6) to the end (7). A distance (B) is from the end (7) to the feeding point (3). A gap (G) is between the antenna (1) and the counter-antenna (5). The electronic device (2) can be a second antenna (2) having a second feeding point (4) and a length (A'). The electronic device (2) can be on a part of a building or on a part of a vehicle (such as a bumper or a roof).

[0049] The counter-antenna (5) can have a length (A) from the bridge (6) to the end (7), and the length (A) divided by a first shortening factor (K1) of the counter-antenna (5) is an odd multiple of a quarter wavelength in free space of the frequency (F) + / - 25%.

[0050] The second antenna (2) can have a length (A') and a feeding point (4), where the length (A') divided by a second shortening factor (K2) of the second antenna (2) is an odd multiple of a quarter wavelength in free space of the frequency (F) + / - 25%.

[0051] The distance (B) from the feeding point (3) to the end (7) divided by a third shortening factor (K3) between the feeding point (3) and the end (7) is a multiple of a half wavelength in free space of the frequency (F) + / - 25%.

[0052] Figure 2 Disclosed is similar to Figure 1A glass window (10), wherein the difference lies in that the antenna (1) is partially deployed on the glass window material layer (11) and partially deployed on the connector (8). The connection point (9) is used to connect a part of the antenna (1) on the connector (8) to a part of the antenna (1) on the glass window material layer (11). The feeding point (3) is on the connector (8) and is connected to the external circuit (20), and the external circuit (20) can be on the window frame of a building or on the body of a vehicle. The anti-antenna (5) for at least partially eliminating the frequency (F) is positioned on the connector (8), and is connected to the antenna (1) through the bridge (6) and extends parallel to the antenna (1) backward towards the feeding point (3) to the end (7).

[0053] Figure 3 A glass window (10) similar to Figure 2 is disclosed, wherein the difference lies in that the anti-antenna (5) for at least partially eliminating the frequency (F) is positioned on the glass window material layer (11), and is connected to the antenna (1) through the bridge (6) and extends parallel to the antenna (1) backward towards the feeding point (3) to the end (7).

[0054] Figure 4 A glass window (10) similar to Figure 3 is disclosed, wherein the difference lies in that the electronic device (2) is a second antenna (2) and is positioned on the glass window (10). In this embodiment, the shortening factors (K1, K2) of the antenna (1) and the second antenna (2) are similar, so the lengths (A, A') are also similar.

[0055] Figure 5A A glass window (10) similar to Figure 4 is disclosed, and the cross-section along the line X-X, wherein the first glass window material layer (11) is joined to the second glass window material layer (12) through the intermediate layer material layer (13) to form laminated glass, and the antenna (1) is an embedded wire. Figure 5B Similar to Figure 5A , but the antenna (1) is printed on the surface 4, numbered from the outside.

[0056] Figure 6 A glass window (10) similar to Figure 4 is disclosed, and the cross-section along the line X-X, wherein the first glass window material layer (11) is single-piece (single-layer) tempered glass.

[0057] Figure 7 A glass window (10) similar to Figure 4 is disclosed, wherein the difference lies in that the antenna (1) and the second antenna (2) have complex shapes.

[0058] For example, the antenna (1) can extend away from the feeding point (3) via multiple inflection points. Figure 7Three inflection points are shown: the connection point (9), the point between the connection point (9) and the end (7) of the counter-antenna (5), and the forking point where the bridge (6) is connected to the antenna (1).

[0059] Example 1 and Comparative Example

[0060] The following is a description of examples of the present invention. The present invention is not limited thereto. Comparative examples are also described.

[0061] Figure 8 The radiation performance of Comparative Example (C-Ex) of a glass window (10) having a monopole antenna (1) and Example 1 additionally having a counter-antenna (5) and a 3 mm gap (G) according to the present invention is shown.

[0062] The antenna (1) has a length equal to 0.725 m in free space. For Comparative Example (C-Ex) and Example 1, the lowest frequency at which peak radiation efficiency occurs is when the length is one-quarter wavelength, i.e., a wavelength of 2.900 m and a frequency of 103 MHz, i.e., FM radio.

[0063] For Comparative Example (C-Ex), a similar peak radiation efficiency also occurs at a harmonic frequency of approximately 720 MHz. The harmonic frequency peak is undesirable because LTE signals transmitted by an electronic device (2) (e.g., a mobile phone antenna) are received as interference at the feed point (3) of the antenna (1). The LTE band is nominally 700 MHz; the user equipment transmits from 703 to 748 MHz and receives from 758 to 803 MHz.

[0064] Example 1 includes a counter-antenna (5) having a length (A) equal to 0.100 m in free space. The lowest frequency at which resonance occurs in the counter-antenna (5) is when the length (A) is one-quarter wavelength, i.e., a wavelength of 0.400 m and a frequency of 750 MHz.

[0065] The counter-antenna (5) positioned near the antenna (1) and separated from the antenna (1) by a 3 mm gap (G) causes a peak attenuation of the radiation efficiency of -22 dB at 720 MHz. The attenuation occurs from 630 to 810 MHz, i.e., the filter bandwidth is 180 MHz.

[0066] Examples 2 and 3

[0067] Figure 9 The radiation efficiencies (dB) of Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3 having gaps (G) of 3 mm, 2 mm, and 1 mm respectively are disclosed.

[0068] As the gap (G) becomes narrower, the attenuation becomes stronger. Example 3 having a 1 mm gap (G) results in a reduction of the radiation efficiency to -29 dB.

[0069] As the gap (G) becomes narrower, attenuation occurs in a smaller frequency range. In Example 3, attenuation occurs between 690 and 810 MHz, i.e., the filter bandwidth is 120 MHz.

[0070] Due to the narrow bandwidth, the anti-antenna (5) has no effect on FM / DAB / TV.

[0071] Examples 4, 5, 6 and 7

[0072] A set of four examples uses a glass window material layer (11) with a thickness of 3.15 mm and an antenna (1) deposited as a silver print with a thickness of 0.01 mm, a width of 1 mm, and a length of 0.7 m. The anti-antenna (5) is deployed parallel to it, and the gap (G) is 10 mm.

[0073] Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 Examples 4, 5, 6, and 7 are respectively disclosed, where the anti-antenna lengths (A) are 100 mm, 80 mm, 60 mm, and 40 mm respectively.

[0074] Figure 14 Four examples are shown together to assist in selecting the length (A) suitable for a predetermined frequency (F) to be filtered. For example, the digital TV band is nominally 800 MHz, but user equipment receives between 791 and 821 MHz. To attenuate interference from digital TV, the anti-antenna length (A) should be selected as 40 mm to achieve an attenuation of -15 dB.

[0075] After selecting 40 mm (Example 7), Figure 13 separate graphs confirm that the anti-antenna has no effect on FM radio (88 to 108 MHz) or DAB (174 to 240 MHz).

[0076] If TV transmission in the range of 750 to 800 MHz is required, then an anti-antenna length (A) of approximately 50 mm can be inferred from Figure 14 between 60 mm (590 to 720 MHz, Example 6) and 40 mm (760 to 1,000 MHz, Example 7).

[0077] The length (A) depends on the dielectric factor of the glass window material layer (11) or the connector (8) of the substrate acting as the counter-antenna (5). To fabricate a sample, for tempered glass, the first shortening factor (K1) can be estimated as 0.7, for laminated glass as 0.6, or for coated glass with laser-etched lines as 0.5. The sample should be tested in an anechoic chamber to measure the actual filtered frequency. To fabricate a prototype, the actual filtered frequency should be compared with the predetermined frequency (F) and the length (A), and the length (A) is shortened or extended according to the corrected estimate of the first shortening factor (K1). Similar estimations and tests can be used for the length (A'), distance (B), and corresponding second and third shortening factors (K2, K3) of the second antenna (2).

[0078] Example 8

[0079] Example 8 is a laminated glass window (10) as shown in Figure 1 . The distance (B) from the end (7) to the feed point (3) divided by the third shortening factor (K3) is n times the half-wavelength of the frequency (F) + / - 25% in free space, where n is any integer (0, 1, 2...). To attenuate the LTE signal, the distance (B) is 125 mm, divided by 0.6 is 208 mm, and the full wavelength is 0.416 m, which is a frequency of 720 MHz.

[0080] Multiple anti-antennas

[0081] Multiple counter-antennae (5) can be provided on the antenna (1), each having a length (A1, A2, etc.) to cancel the predetermined frequencies (F1, F2, etc.). This is useful for filtering multiple unwanted frequencies at the feed point (3) to the amplifier (20).

[0082] Anti-antennas with complex shapes

[0083] Figure 15 There is disclosed a glass window similar to Figure 2 , except that the counter-antenna (5) has a complex shape corresponding to the complex shape of the antenna (1).

[0084] WO2017194961A1 (Baranski), incorporated by reference, discloses a glass window in which the antenna has multiple inflection points forming a complex shape on the connector.

[0085] In Figure 15 , the antenna (1) includes a connector (8) extending from the feed point (3) to a connection point (9) on the first glass window material layer (11). According to the present invention, a counter-antenna (5) having inflection points corresponding to the inflection points of the antenna (1) is positioned on the connector (8).

[0086] The total length of the anti-antenna (5) with a complex shape is the sum of components (such as two components having lengths A1 and A2). The length A1 is from the bridge (6) to the inflection point. The length A2 is from the inflection point to the end (7) of the anti-antenna (5). The inflection point refers to the bend between two straight sections.
