Automotive Electronics Testing for Conductive Coated Heat Reflective Windows

The electromagnetic interference between the conductive coating in heat reflecting automotive glass and vehicle electronics can limit the application of such technology. A number of methods are available to maintain electromagnetic compatibility and the function of RF electronics in the passenger compartment, while accruing the heat load reduction benefits of the coating. This paper provides detailed test data showing the antenna performance differences resulting from the conductive windshield transmission of RF signals.
