    The antenna will need to connect to your phone with a wire (that's what the
    antenna connector is for on the back of your phone, if it has one). So, as
    far as I know, there is no such thing as a "wireless antenna".

    You can get also antenna couplers that work through things like plasic and
    glass to a coupler on the other side. "Through glass" antennas, and some of
    the newer car kit antennas work like this. However, the "gap" that they work
    through can only be a few mm at most.

    If you want to use an external antenna in your house, a cheap solution is to
    buy a hard wired antenna for a car kit (not a through glass one as most
    people have double glazing, and most house windows are vertical) and mount
    this outside your house, then rig up a connector at the other end to connect
    it to your phone. Often people use the cradle from a car kit for this.
    Although you can lengthen the cable that comes with the aerial, this isn't a
    good idea as you'll lose a lot of signal in the cable and the antenna is
    most likely tuned for that length of cable.

    Unless I'm missing something here... a "wireless antenna"?
