<p>A vehicular antenna system (40) uses a plurality of vehicle windshield wipers (80). Each wiper (80) is configured to act as an antenna receiving element. The wipers (80) may be configured to act as receiving elements by using a conductive wiper housing (94) and/or a conductive spring (95). Insulators (92) are positioned to electrically isolate the antenna receiving elements from vehicular ground. In one embodiment, an insulating bushing (92) is positioned within a windshield wiper housing aperture (93) so that the entire wiper (80) is isolated from a wiper shaft (21).</p> |
