Abstract
A window-mounted cellular mobile telephone antenna and method of installation includes an outside coupling module for mounting on the outside surface of a vehicle window in registration with an inside coupling module mounted on the inside surface of the window. The outer coupling module includes a metallic base having a contoured portion for pivotally mounting a vertical radiating element, and a generally flat window engaging portion for engaging the window glass. A peripheral channel formed on the engaging portion defines a central engaging surface. An adhesive layer applied to the engaging surface engages the surface of the glass when the base is positioned on the glass for use. A bead of silicone adhesive in the channel expands against the glass to protect the adhesive layer from exposure to water and contaminants.
