Best antenna to go through triple-pane glass

Hi: Looking for recommendation on the best antenna to go through 3
panes of glass. Here is my configuration:

WISP one mile LOS High Gain Antenna 2 ft pigtail Netgear
Bridge 5 ft cat 5 cable Netgear AP XP laptop w/SMC universal
wifi card

No option to put outside the building. Antenna must be inside
building. Tried going through wall but worse than going through the
windows.

Thanks

Tuned inductive coupling would be most efficient methinks.

Alternative to coax feed line

I have about ~100 feet of wire just outside the windows of the Apt. I feed this
in via a coax cable. We have double pane, aluminum windows. Quite nice for
keeping out sound and keeping in heat (or keeping in coolth) depending on the
season.
Anyway, to get this signal from the coax under the window, I can't just drill a
hole in the aluminum window in the bedroom and snake a wire through it. Well,
actually I could, but the landlord would be upset. Quite upset.
So, to get the signal under the window, I use a strip of ribbon cable, first
wrapped in typing paper, then wrapped in one layer of aluminum foil, then one
layer of plastic (all for insulation/waterproofing). This is then wrapped up in
one layer of duct tape.
I've found that the aluminum foil/silver duct tape is very good in blocking out
all the RF that's around. Hook everything up, cover with your favorite RF
resistant material (duct tape). Open the window, put the ribbon cable coax in,
close the window and lock it.
RF goes away, and you get a nice, quiet signal...

I don't think he's talking about how to install an antenna lead-in
through the window. He wants to know what kind of antenna will work the
best in the room. In that case the Sony AN-LP1 should work if it's
antenna loop is located at the window.

STARMAN,

I would agree, the Sony AN-LP1 would be my 'choice' for a
ready made In-Door On-the-Window / Near-the-Window Antenna for
the Shortwave (SW) Bands and add to that the Justice AM Antenna
for AM/MW/BCB Band Reception.

CD,

Ah now I understand.

Great.

Do you know if this would work with 2.4 ghz frequency used by Wifi?

Also, does it make a difference that the glass is low-e?
