Title: Windshield antenna with coupling network in the leadin

Abstract: Antennas are applied to broad surfaces of electrically non-conductive material, and electronic adapters such as self-inductors, transformers, and capacitors are constructed in the same way and attached to the antenna on the surface of the material, affording improved output of the antenna and better reception in the receiver. Such apparatus is useful on vehicular windshields such as those of aircraft and automobiles, and on the windows of buildings such as of apartment houses.
