Abstract

A radio antenna device having an antenna wire and a gain increasing antenna secured to the rear window of motor vehicle in the same manner as is used for a moisture preventive heat wire. An antenna wire is secured to the rear window of a motor vehicle in an attempt to reduce such disturbance in receiving a radio wave, which accrues from an engine, electric generator and electric motor mounted on a motor vehicle or for the purpose of eliminating a space for mounting an antenna, while a gain increasing antenna is provided for compensating for the reduction in radio-wave receiving level, which is caused by shielding action of a moisture preventive heat wire which is secured to the rear window or a portion of a vehicle body, which extends along the periphery of the rear window.
