Abstract
This Letter discusses an experimental study and Hankel-domain analysis of annular ring patch antennas attached to a laminated glass vehicle windscreen. The fundamental TM(11) and higher-order TM(21), modes are studied, the latter being of interest for mobile satellite communicati ons. Attaching the antenna to the screen brings about a doubling in th e bandwidth, and adding a resistive ring on top of the screen further improves the bandwidth. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
