1. An antenna that is included in a panel assembly, said antenna comprising:
a frame member for receiving the panel assembly, said frame member being electrically conductive and having an edge and a surface that defines an opening through the frame member; at least one ply having a surface that is defined by an outer perimeter edge; an electrically conductive coating that is located on the surface of said ply, said electrically conductive coating having an outer peripheral edge that is spaced inwardly from the outer perimeter edge of said ply; a bus bar that has greater electrical conductivity than the electrical conductivity of said optically transparent electrically conductive coating, said bus bar being located partly on said electrically conductive coating and partly on the surface of said ply, said bus bar having a first edge that is spaced laterally between the outer peripheral edge of said electrically conductive coating and the edge of said frame member, said bus bar cooperating with said frame member and with said electrically conductive coating to define a slot antenna; an antenna feed line that is laterally located on the surface of said ply between the first edge of said bus bar and the perimeter edge of said ply; and an antenna feed point that electrically connects said antenna feed line to said bus bar. |
