Abstract
A wireless communication device for an aircraft that includes at least one antenna, for example a wide-band antenna, and a transparent multilayered substrate, for example a side glazing, a front glazing or a porthole of the aircraft, adapted for receiving the at least one antenna. At least a portion of one layer of the substrate is at least partially reflective to electromagnetic waves transmitted or received by the at least one antenna, wherein the at least one portion of the layer of the substrate is located at least partially opposite the at least one antenna. The at least one portion of the layer of the substrate can be a de-icing or defogging heating film.
