Abstract
Abstract An inside window antenna is disclosed having a housing adapted for mounting on an inside window, a dipole mounted within the housing with the opposed dipole ends extending out of the housing, and an electrical cable having a main conductor and a ground conductor. The main conductor is connected to a first location on the dipole, the ground conductor is connected to a second location on the dipole, and means are carried by the housing for mounting the housing on the window.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
An inside window antenna, which comprises: a housing adapted for mounting on an inside facing side of a window; a dipole formed of wire radiating elements mounted within said housing, with the opposed dipole ends extending out of the housing; a coaxial electrical cable having a main conductor and a ground conductor; means connecting the main conductor of said coaxial cable to a first location on the dipole; means connecting the ground conductor of said coaxial cable to a second location on the dipole; said housing having a rear portion that is flat for attachment of the housing to the window by adhering said rear flat portion directly to the window; and pressure-sensitive adhesive means for mounting the housing on the window.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
