In this paper, we introduce a dual-band Wi-Fi applique antenna using the 5-mm thick automotive windshield glass as the substrate. In order to mitigate the strong surface-wave supported by the substrate at 5.8 GHz, a segmented ring was proposed to help the antenna radiate out of the substrate at 5.8...
