Abstract
The present invention relates to an antenna for use on a motor vehicle, particularly for cellular radio communication. The antenna comprises an elongate conductor applied to the surface of a vehicle window, the length of the antenna elongate conductor being a minor portion of the length of any peripheral side or edge of the vehicle window. A ground plane is provided along the top edge of the vehicle window, and the top end of the conductor antenna is grounded by virtue of its close proximity to the ground plane.
