A backlite antenna system for an AM/FM vehicle stereo where the antenna system includes an antenna grid embedded in a rear window of the vehicle, that is electrically separate from a heater grid embedded in the rear window. The antenna grid includes a plurality of equally spaced, horizontal antenna elements that extend almost the entire width of the rear window of the vehicle. Two vertical end bus bars and two vertical center bars connect the antenna elements. An FM tuning stub is connected to the antenna elements for appropriate FM reception depending on the type of vehicle body. The antenna grid also includes an L-shaped element connected to one of the end bus bars and extending between the antenna grid and the heater grid, and a T-shaped element connected to one of the vertical center bars and also extending between the antenna grid and the heater grid. Also, two of the antenna elements are separated and connected by vertical connecting antenna elements. This configuration provides broadband FM reception in the frequency range of 76 MHz to 108 MHz. An antenna module housing a matching circuit, and possibly an amplifier circuit, is located in the header of the vehicle adjacent to the vehicle window.
