ANTENNA PRINTED BACKLITE
Entertainment without Hindrance
Unwieldy metal antennae can be quite an eyesore on a well-designed car. Glass antennae are printed patterns of conductive material on glass, accompanied by electric devices that send and receive signals. The inductive and resistive properties associated with the printed pattern can be adjusted to make the wireless signals resonate with the receiver in the desired bandwidth (FM / AM).

Frequently Asked Questions
An antenna glass on the backlite is a type of rear windshield in cars that has the radio antenna integrated directly into the glass. Instead of using a separate external antenna, conductive patterns are printed onto the backlite to receive FM/AM and other signals effectively. This design enhances the car’s aesthetics by eliminating antennas hanging out abruptly while maintaining reliable signal reception. It is commonly used in modern vehicles to provide a sleek, functional and maintenance-free solution for radio connectivity.
An antena printed glass on the backlite has conductive lines printed directly on the rear windshield glass. These lines act as the car’s antenna to receive FM and AM radio signals efficiently. Unlike traditional antennas that stick out of the car, this design is built into the glass, which keeps the vehicle’s exterior sleek and modern. It provides reliable signal reception while eliminating the need for extra hardware.
Using an antenna glass for backlite offers several advantages compared to a traditional external metal antenna.
- Sleek Design: Its integration into the rear windshield removes the requirement for traditional external antennas. This gives the car a modern and clean look.
- Reliable Reception: Conductive patterns are engineered to receive FM and AM signals effectively, just like a metal antenna.
- Durability: Since it’s integrated into the glass, there’s less risk of damage from weather, car washes or accidental knocks.
- Maintenance-Free: No extra parts or attachments are required to maintain or replace in order to get a consistent signal
- Space Efficiency: It frees up space on the car’s roof or body for other design elements or features.
No, an antenna printed glass on the backlite is designed to provide reliable FM and AM signal reception just like a traditional metal antenna. The conductive patterns printed on the glass are engineered to capture radio signals efficiently, which offers clear and consistent audio. Because it’s integrated into the rear windshield, it also eliminates interference from external factors like damage or misalignment that can affect traditional antennas.
Yes, an antenna printed backlite is designed to work with both FM and AM radio frequencies. The conductive patterns printed on the rear windshield are engineered to capture signals across these bands, which provides reliable reception and clear audio.
