Thank you,I got the word now(likw printed antennas on circuit boards)

No, never, in my opinion

Antenne S�rigraphi�e, can this possibly mean "screen enclosed or encased"?

See comment below... [not for grading)

I totally agree that the normal translation of 'sérigraphié' is silk-screen printed or just silk-screened (and this ought to be in the glossaries, I distinctly remember answering this term not all that long ago)

HOWEVER, please note that the 2 refs. given by the previous answerer are only mentioning 'silk-screened' in the same text as 'antenna', but they are NOT actually talking about 'antennas that are silk-screened'

I know that in the auto industry, this is indeed one of the production methods used for printing antennas onto car windows; but I suspect they have a more 'macho' term for it.

A quick Google revealed little of any help; they certainly talk about 'window antennas', but never as far as I could find about 'silk-screened ones' (with or without window) --- maybe you need to dig a bit deeper.

Do note that the term 'printed antenna' certainly exists, but in all the hits I looked at, it was clearly talking about another kind of antenna, and NOT one actually printed onto the window.

Good luck!

Just to confirm I think Bourth has come up with the right terms with \'on-glass\' or \'glass-printed\' antennas, and unless the actual printing process used is vital in Asker\'s specific context (it is almost taken for granted that it would have to be silk-screened), I would let it drop.

\'printed antennas\' is also OK, except for the tiny niggle that it can also apply to other types of antenna, nothing to do with car windows; so I personally would steer clear of that one, unless the context makes it crystal-clear that it is indeed printed on the car window glass...

agree Bourth (X) : Maybe identifying the name for the technique of applying demisting circuits would help ...(later) Printed antenna looks good to me, see below.

Thanks, Alex! Yes, I'm too busy right now to do the research...

agree Tony M : Yes, 'on-glass' and 'glass-printed' are both excellent; unless the actual printing process used is of key importance in Asker's context, I would let drop the 'silk-screen' bit....
