[MLB-WIRELESS] Mobile phone antennas

[Paul van den Bergen]

An interesting thought just occured to me.  Remember a while back 
someone mentioned metallised conductive paint and the idea of being able 
to stencil a wireless antenae to a wall?  Well what if you stenciled the 
antenae to either side of a glass pane?  Your coupling would be very 
strong, as long as you (I presume) take the capacitance of the glass 
into account?  this might be fun to try some time...  mind you, my 
antenae theory is non-existant, so this might just be a pipe dream...
