Abstract

A glass antenna system for an automobile comprises a T-shaped or pi-shaped dynamic impedance matching circuit. Another system comprises an integrated circuit consisting of T-shaped FM and AM matching circuits each connected to a common cable. The T-shaped or pi-shaped matching circuit comprises at least two varactor diodes each applied to a channel selection voltage to match the FM antenna impedance with that of the FM receiver including that of the transmission cable.
