- All antennas of this type are according to the current state of the art Technology monofrequency antennas i.e. they are at their basic resonance frequency operated what is physically a requirement for that is that the directional diagram when built over a conductive Surface essentially has a round characteristic.
- a mobile radio antenna on motor vehicles there is a desire for antennas that are in multiple frequency ranges can be used simultaneously.
- a cellular antenna both in the D mobile network at around 0.9 GHz and in the frequency range of the e-cellular network at approximately twice the frequency (1.8 GHz).

- the basic principle of operation of the antenna according to the invention is based on it, with the help of the natural resonance of slots and recesses on the conductive surfaces of the antenna in different Frequency ranges to bring about an antenna resonance.
- this can be brought about by the fact that the Slots 10 in the first frequency range on the current distribution affect the antenna little and due to the natural resonance of the slot arrangements the current flow on the antenna is designed in this way is that also in this frequency range the antenna impedance resonance exists.
- the largest dimension of the first conductive area 1 is less than 3/8 lambda, so that is azimuthal Circular diagram e.g. even at double the frequency of the low Frequency range still largely exist.
- an inductance L 4.13 with a series radiation resistance R s increases and the capacity C 13 represents the capacitance of the inner zone 13 to the base plate and the capacitance C 12, the capacity of the current path 12 with the base plate and L 12 is the series inductance of this current path, the capacitance C 11 of the two edge zones 11 with the base plate is connected in parallel with the connection point 3 via the input impedance Z 10, which is high impedance at this frequency, at the open end of the slots 10.

- the slots 10 in their main direction as To design the boundary of the current path. Is the slot in the higher frequency lambda / 4 long, so it owns at its open End at the edge of the first surface a high input impedance, so that currents at this frequency from connection point 3 to the low-current Zones 11 are hindered in their flow. Noteworthy at the lower frequency, provided that e.g. only half the size the slots for the streams are not essential Obstacle.
- the first conductive surface 1 are included.
- you can such slots are introduced into the slots 10, which at their opposite the edge of the conductive surface 1 End with an inductive cutout from the conductive Area 1 is complete.
- the borders of these sections 14 acts inductively due to its longer length in contrast to Slot, which is a strong due to the small slot width has a capacitive effect.
- the Reactive resistance in the open end of the slot second frequency range can be designed with high resistance, so that Edge currents on the first conductive surface 1 are significantly suppressed will.
- the bridge 4 mainly acts inductively. 4 are Slits 10 are also made in the bridge 4 to be on this Way using the changed inductance in a second Frequency range in which the slots have 1/4 wavelength resonance at their open end possess the resonance frequency of the antenna also produce in this frequency range.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Antenne der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs
1 genannten Art. Eine Antenne dieser Art kann sehr vorteilhaft
im Funkbetrieb auf Kraftfahrzeugen für Mobilfunkdienste
eingesetzt werden. Sie besitzt insbesondere im GHz-Frequenzbereich
den Vorteil, eine kleine Bauhöhe mit dem gewünschten
Richtdiagramm zu verbinden.The invention relates to an antenna in the preamble of the
Die Erfindung geht aus von Antennen dieser Art, wie sie aus der DAS 2153 827 und DAS 2633 757 sowie den Europäischen Patentanmeldungen EP 0176311, EP 0177362 und EP 0163454 bekannt sind. Die dort beschriebenen Antennen bestehen im wesentlichen aus einem L-förmigen flächigen Teil über einer leitenden Grundfläche bzw. sind als U-förmige flächige Antennen ausgeführt.The invention is based on antennas of this type, as they are known from the DAS 2153 827 and DAS 2633 757 as well as European patent applications EP 0176311, EP 0177362 and EP 0163454 are known. The antennas described there essentially consist of one L-shaped flat part over a conductive base or are designed as U-shaped flat antennas.
Das Wirkungsprinzip dieser Antennen besteht darin, bei der Betriebsfrequenz eine Resonanz zu besitzen, wobei die Resonanz durch eine ausgeglichene Blindleistungsbilanz zwischen der magnetischen Blindleistung und der kapazitiven Blindleistung ausgezeichnet ist, so daß an der vorgesehenen Antennenanschlußstelle eine im wesentlichen reelle bzw. eine nicht zu stark reaktive Impedanz herrscht. Diese Resonanzwirkung ist im Ersatzschaltbild Fig. 4 der EP 0177362 für eine L-förmige Antenne beschrieben. Bei Resonanz der L-Struktur sind dabei die Blindleistungen der magnetischen Felder, welche die starken Ströme auf der und in der Umgebung der Brücke 38 in Fig. 3 bilden, ausgewogen mit der kapazitiven Blindleistung, welche die elektrischen Felder zwischen der Fläche 36 und der Grundplatte 39 bilden.The principle of operation of these antennas is that Operating frequency to have a resonance, the resonance through a balanced reactive power balance between the magnetic reactive power and capacitive reactive power is excellent, so that at the intended antenna connection point an essentially real or not too reactive one There is impedance. This resonance effect is in the Equivalent circuit Fig. 4 of EP 0177362 for an L-shaped Antenna described. When the L structure resonates, the Reactive powers of the magnetic fields, which are the strong ones Form currents on and in the vicinity of the bridge 38 in FIG. 3, balanced with the capacitive reactive power which the electric fields between the surface 36 and the base plate 39 form.
Alle Antennen dieser Art sind nach dem gegenwärtigen Stand der Technik monofrequente Antennen d.h., sie werden bei ihrer Grundresonanzfrequenz betrieben, was physikalisch eine Voraussetzung dafür ist, daß das Richtdiagramm bei Aufbau über einer leitenden Fläche im wesentlichen eine Rundcharakteristik besitzt. Insbesondere beim Einsatz als Mobilfunkantenne auf Kraftfahrzeugen besteht jedoch der Wunsch nach Antennen, welche in mehreren Frequenzbereichen gleichzeitig einsetzbar sind. Als wichtiges Beispiel gilt die Verwendung einer Mobilfunkantenne sowohl im D-Mobilfunknetz bei ca. 0,9 GHz als auch im Frequenzbereich des E-Mobilfunknetzes bei etwa doppelter Frequenz (1,8 GHz). Zusätzlich ist vielfach die gleichzeitige Verwendung einer Antenne im frequenzbenachbarten GPS-Navigationsfunkdienst erwünscht.All antennas of this type are according to the current state of the art Technology monofrequency antennas i.e. they are at their basic resonance frequency operated what is physically a requirement for that is that the directional diagram when built over a conductive Surface essentially has a round characteristic. Especially when used as a mobile radio antenna on motor vehicles However, there is a desire for antennas that are in multiple frequency ranges can be used simultaneously. As an important example is the use of a cellular antenna both in the D mobile network at around 0.9 GHz and in the frequency range of the e-cellular network at approximately twice the frequency (1.8 GHz). In addition, the simultaneous use of one is often Antenna in the frequency-adjacent GPS navigation radio service desired.

Das Grundwirkungsprinzip der erfindungsgemäßen Antenne beruht
darauf, mit Hilfe der Eigenresonanz von Schlitzen und Aussparungen
auf den leitenden Flächen der Antenne in unterschiedlichen
Frequenzbereichen jeweils eine Antennenresonanz herbeizuführen.
Auf einfachste Weise kann dies dadurch bewirkt werden, daß die
Schlitze 10 im ersten Frequenzbereich die Stromverteilung auf
der Antenne nur wenig beeinflussen und infolge der Eigenresonanz
der Schlitzanordnungen der Stromfluß auf der Antenne derart gestaltet
ist, daß ebenfalls in diesem Frequenzbereich bezüglich
der Antennenimpedanz Resonanz besteht.The basic principle of operation of the antenna according to the invention is based
on it, with the help of the natural resonance of slots and recesses
on the conductive surfaces of the antenna in different
Frequency ranges to bring about an antenna resonance.
In the simplest way, this can be brought about by the fact that the
In der Fig. 1 ist das Wirkungsprinzip der Antenne nach der Erfindung
dargestellt. Im ersten, also niederen Frequenzbereich,
wirkt die gesamte erste leitende Fläche 1 und ist durch die
Schlitze 10 gemäß dem Anspruch 1 nur wenig in ihrer Wirkung
beeinträchtigt, so daß die Antenne in diesem Bereich wirkt wie
die Antennen, die gemäß dem Stande der Technik beschrieben sind.
Um in einem weiteren höheren Frequenzbereich ebenfalls eine
gewünschte Resonanz zu erreichen, werden gemäß dem Kennzeichen
des Anspruchs 1 in der Umgebung der Randzonen 11 Schlitze 10
eingebracht, welche insbesondere die hochwirksamen Randströme im
höherfrequenten Bereich unterdrücken. Somit bildet sich gemäß
der Erfindung zwischen dem Anschlußpunkt 3 und der Brücke 4 eine
Strombahn 12 aus, auf der die Antennenströme fließen. Bei geeignetem
Verlauf und geeigneter Dimensionierung der Schlitze 10
wird über diese Strombahn 12 die innere Zone 13, welche sich in
der Nähe der Brücke 4 befindet, zur Resonanzbildung angeregt.
Aufgrund der Kleinheit der inneren Zone 13 im Vergleich zur gesamten
ersten leitenden Fläche 1 stellt sich zusätzlich zur ersten
Resonanzfrequenz eine höhere Resonanzfrequenz für den weiteren
Frequenzbereich ein. Ist die größte Abmessung der ersten
leitenden Fläche 1 kleiner als 3/8 Lambda, so ist das azimutale
Runddiagramm z.B. auch bei der doppelten Frequenz des niedrigen
Frequenzbereichs noch weitgehend gegeben.1 is the principle of operation of the antenna according to the invention
shown. In the first, i.e. lower frequency range,
acts the entire first
Um das Wirkungsprinzip der Antenne besser zu erläutern, wird das
stark vereinfachte Ersatzschaltbild in Fig. 3a betrachtet, welches
jedoch die einzelnen Wirkelemente nur ganz grob angenähert
wiedergibt. Eine grobe Vereinfachung der Darstellung besteht
darin, daß verteilt wirkende Blindelemente zum besseren
Verständnis als konzentrierte Elemente dargestellt sind und somit
nicht als frequenzunabhängig betrachtet werden können.
Dennoch läßt sich anhand dieses vereinfachten Ersatzschaltbildes
die grundsätzliche Wirkungsweise der Antenne im höheren
Frequenzbereich erläutern. Schreibt man der mit der Grundplatte
verbundenen Brücke 4 und der inneren Zone 13 eine Induktivität
L4,13 mit einem Serienstrahlungwiderstand Rs zu und repräsentiert
die Kapazität C13 die Kapazität der inneren Zone 13 mit
der Grundplatte und die Kapazität C12 die Kapazität der
Strombahn 12 mit der Grundplatte und ist L12 die Serieninduktivität
dieser Strombahn, so ist die Kapazität C11 der beiden
Randzonen 11 mit der Grundplatte über die bei dieser
Frequenz hochohmigen Eingangsimpedanz Z 10 am offenen Ende der
Schlitze 10 dem Anschlußpunkt 3 parallelgeschaltet. Durch
Einfügung der Schlitzimpedanz Z 10 und deren Darstellung als
hochohmiger Parallelresonanzkreis ist erkennbar, daß sich das
erfindungsgemäße Resonanzverhalten bei mehreren Frequenzen
einstellt. Ein Schlitz bildet in einer leitenden Fläche eine
elektrische Leitung, deren Wellenwiderstand mit der Schlitzbreite
9 ansteigt. Tendenzweise ist die Wirkungsfrequenzbandbreite
der Schlitzresonanz im Hinblick auf die Beeinflussung
der Antennenströme umso größer, je größer die Schlitzbreite ist.
Während bei der ersten, niedrigen Frequenz die Resonanz in der
Hauptsache aus der Summe der Kapazitäten C11, C12, C13 und der
Induktivität L12, L4,13 gebildet ist, ergibt sich bei Resonanz
der Schlitzleitung eine vollkommene Abschaltung der relativ
großen Kapazität C11, wodurch die Antenne auch bei der höheren
Frequenz eine Resonanz besitzt. Demnach ist der Frequenzunterschied
zwischen erster und zweiter Resonanz umso größer, je
größer die Zone 11 in Fig.1 durch entsprechende Lage der
Schlitze 10 gewählt ist, d.h. je näher die zum Anschlußpunkt 3
benachbarten Schlitze beieinander liegen.In order to better explain the principle of operation of the antenna, the greatly simplified equivalent circuit diagram in FIG. 3a is considered, which, however, only gives a rough approximation of the individual active elements. A rough simplification of the representation consists in the fact that distributed-acting dummy elements are shown as concentrated elements for better understanding and can therefore not be regarded as frequency-independent. Nevertheless, the basic mode of operation of the antenna in the higher frequency range can be explained on the basis of this simplified equivalent circuit diagram. Writes to the connected to the
Die Form der Antenne kann bezüglich der grundsätzlichen Wirkungsweise in weiten Grenzen frei gewählt werden. Die beschriebene Wirkung der Antenne dieser Art kann herbeigeführt werden, wenn die erste leitende Fläche z.B. Rechteckform, Trapezform, Kreissektorform bzw. Kreisform mit fehlendem Kreissegment besitzt. Auch eine Symmetriebedingung bezüglich der Flächenform und der Anordnung der Schlitze muß nicht zwingend eingehalten werden. Zur Verdeutlichung sind in Fig. 2 die entsprechenden Wirkungszonen für eine Antenne mit Kreisform und fehlendem Kreissegment eingetragen.The shape of the antenna can affect the basic mode of operation can be freely chosen within wide limits. The one described Effect of the antenna of this kind can be brought about if the first conductive surface e.g. Rectangular shape, trapezoidal shape, Circle sector shape or circular shape with missing circle segment. Also a symmetry condition regarding the surface shape and the arrangement of the slots does not necessarily have to be observed will. The corresponding ones are shown in FIG. 2 for clarification Effective zones for an antenna with a circular shape and a missing one Circle segment entered.
Fig. 3 zeigt beispielhaft eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung zweier
Schlitze 10 zur Gestaltung der Strombahn 12 sowie der stromarmen
Randzonen 11 und der für die Resonanzbildung wirksamen inneren
Zone 13 in Fig. 1. Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, zur Gestaltung
der Strombahn 12, die Schlitze 10 in ihrer Hauptrichtung als
Berandung der Strombahn zu gestalten. Ist der Schlitz bei der
höheren Frequenz Lambda/4 lang, so besitzt er an seinem offenen
Ende am Rand der ersten Fläche eine hohe Eingangsimpedanz, so
daß Ströme bei dieser Frequenz vom Anschlußpunkt 3 zu den stromarmen
Zonen 11 in ihrem Fluß behindert werden. Bei der nennenswert
niedrigeren Frequenz, sofern diese z.B. nur halb so groß
ist, stellen die Schlitze für die Ströme kein wesentliches
Hindernis dar. Ihre Wirkung auf die Resonanzfrequenz im ersten
Frequenzbereich kann auf bekannte Weise in die Dimensionierung
der ersten leitenden Fläche 1 einbezogen werden. Zusätzlich können
zu den Schlitzen 10 solche Schlitze eingebracht werden, welche
an ihrem dem Rand der leitenden Fläche 1 entgegengesetztem
Ende mit einem induktiv wirkenden Ausschnitt aus der leitenden
Fläche 1 abgeschlossen ist. Die Berandung dieser Ausschnitte 14
wirkt aufgrund ihrer größeren Länge induktiv im Gegensatz zum
Schlitz, welcher aufgrund der kleinen Schlitzbreite eine stark
kapazitive Wirkung hat. Bei geeigneter Ausführung kann dabei der
am offenen Ende des Schlitzes entstehende Blindwiderstand im
zweiten Frequenzbereich hochohmig gestaltet werden, so daß
Randströme auf der ersten leitenden Fläche 1 wesentlich unterdrückt
werden. Diese Anordnung bewirkt, daß die in Fig. 1 mit 11
gekennzeichneten Zonen nur wenig zur Kapazität der ersten leitenden
Fläche 1 gegenüber der als elektrisches Gegengewicht wirkenden
elektrisch leitenden Fläche 2 beitragen. Die
Verkleinerung der wirksamen Kapazität bewirkt somit im zweiten
Frequenzbereich eine Resonanz, wobei die für die Resonanzbildung
wirksame innere Zone 13 (siehe Fig. 1) über die Strombahn 12
zwischen Ankopplungspunkt 3 und leitender Brücke 4 in Fig. 1 angeregt
wird.3 shows an example of an advantageous embodiment of two
Die Brücke 4 wirkt in der Hauptsache induktiv. In Fig. 4 sind
Schlitze 10 ebenfalls in die Brücke 4 eingebracht, um auf diese
Weise mit Hilfe der veränderten Induktivität in einem zweiten
Frequenzbereich, in dem die Schlitze an ihrem offenen Ende 1/4-Wellenlängen-Resonanz
besitzen, die Resonanzfrequenz der Antenne
auch in diesem Frequenzbereich herstellen.The
In Fig. 5 ist eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung einer
Antenne nach der Erfindung dargestellt. Die erste leitende
Fläche 1 der Antenne besitzt hier die Form eines Kreissektors
mit fehlendem Sektordreieck an der Spitze des Kreissektors. Die
Schlitze 10 sind bei diesem Beispiel auf weitgehend geradlinigen
Sektorstrahlen, ausgehend vom kreisförmigen Rand des Sektors in
Richtung der inneren Zone der ersten leitenden Fläche 1, angeordnet.
Eine solche Antenne läßt sich sehr vorteilhaft als
Antenne für das D-Mobilfunknetz (ca. 900 MHz) und das E-Mobilfunknetz
(ca. 1800 MHz) einsetzen. In diesem Fall ist die
Länge der Schlitze etwa Lambda/4 zu wählen für den Frequenzbereich
des E-Netzes; im höheren Frequenzbereich wirken dabei in
der Hauptsache nur die innere Zone 13 der ersten leitenden
Fläche 1 in der Nähe der Kante 5 und die Brücke 4. Eine besonders
vorteilhafte Ausführungsform dieser Antenne deckt gleichermaßen
die Frequenz des Global-Positioning-Systems (GPS) ab. Dies
wird auf einfache Weise dadurch erreicht, daß durch Verwendung
mehrerer Schlitze mit geringfügig ungleichen Längen für die
Schlitze 10a und 10b in Fig. 5 eine Resonanz der Antenne bei der
GPS-Frequenz (1574 MHz) ebenfalls erreicht wird. Bei einer praktischen
Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Antenne beträgt
der Kreissektorwinkel beispielhaft 90 Grad. Die Schlitze sind
symmetrisch zur Winkelhalbierenden angeordnet. Die kürzeren,
nahe der Mittellinie 6 liegenden Schlitze haben in diesem
Beispiel zur Unterdrückung von Strömen im E-Netzfrequenzbereich
eine Länge von 0,25 Lambda. Für die längeren Schlitze in Fig. 5
wurde zur Erzeugung der Resonanz der Antenne auf der GPS-Frequenz
eine Länge von 0,23 Lambda gewählt.5 is a particularly advantageous embodiment of a
Antenna according to the invention shown. The first
Eine solche Antenne hat den besonderen Vorteil der einfachen
Herstellbarkeit. Wird sie über einer leitenden Grundplatte oder
einer mechanischen Trägerplatte verwendet, so können die erste
erste leitende Fläche 1 und die Brücke 4 aus einem Blech in einem
Arbeitsgang gemeinsam mit den Schlitzen 10a und 10b mit typisch
erforderlichen Schlitzbreiten von 0,5...1,5 mm ausgestanzt
werden. Durch Biegen der Kante 5 im rechten Winkel wird die
Antenne mit der unteren Kante der Brücke 4 auf einfache Weise
auf dem Gegengewicht montiert. Nach gefundenem Abgleich der
Position der Schlitze und ihrer Abmessungen derart, daß
Resonanzen der Antenne bei allen drei Frequenzen entstehen, kann
so mit Hilfe eines Stanzwerkzeugs die Antenne mit großer
Präzision und außerordentlich kostengünstig hergestellt werden.
Auch in der Wahl des Sektorwinkels ist man bei der erfindungsgemäßen
Antenne relativ frei. Es zeigt sich, daß bei vorgegebener,
nach dem Stande der Technik gewählter Trapez- oder

Claims (15)
- An antenna with electrically low overall height, preferably for frequencies in the GHz range, comprising a first electrically-conductive surface (1) which, in a first frequency range, is no larger than 3/8 Lambda in any of its dimensions, and a second electrically-conductive surface (2) which functions as an electrical counterweight of at least the same size, and which is arranged essentially opposite and parallel to the first electrically-conductive surface (1) and at a certain distance (A) therefrom; and a conductive bridge (4) which forms a high frequency, low resistance connection between an edge (5) of the first conductive surface (1) and the second conductive surface (2) across a width (B) and the first electrically-conductive surface (1) is connected in a connection point (3) so as to conduct high frequencies to the inner conductor (7) of a coaxial cable via a conductor (15) at the antenna connection point, the outer conductor (8) of which is connected to the second electrically-conductive surface (2) and the dimensions of the antenna and the connection point (3) are selected so that the antenna is in resonance in the first frequency range, characterised in that in order to generate resonance in at least one further frequency range, slits (10) of a suitable width (9) and shape are formed in at least one of the two conducting surfaces and/or in the conductive bridge (4) and their edges are selected in such a way that they each conform to the flow of current in the electrically-conductive surfaces (1, 2) and the bridge (4) in the first and in each subsequent frequency range, in a frequency-selective manner, so that in each case the antenna is close to a resonance in the first and in each subsequent frequency range.
- An antenna according to claim 1, characterised in that in order to generate resonance in at least one further, higher-frequency, frequency range, slits (10) of a suitable width (9) and each with an open end facing the edge of the surface are formed at least in one of the two electrically-conductive surfaces, their shape in the surface and their lengths being selected so that they only slightly influence the current flow on the surfaces in the first frequency range, so that the effective area for resonance generation is essentially given as the entire conductive surface, but determine the flow of current on these surfaces in each subsequent frequency range in such a way that a conducting path (12) with strong currents is set up between the connection point (3) and the conductive bridge (4), the edge areas (11) of the conducting surface on both sides of this flow of current only conducting small currents so that the effective inner area (13) for resonance generation set up near the conducting bridge and this area, corresponding to the higher frequency, is smaller than the conducting surface, so that the antenna also resonates in this frequency range.
- An antenna according to claims 1 to 2, characterised in that in order to generate resonance in at least one further frequency range, at least one slit (10) of a suitable width (9) and with an open end facing the edge of the surface is formed in the conductive bridge (4), its shape in the surface and its length up to its closed end being selected in each case so that it only slightly influences the current flow on the surfaces in the first frequency range, the effective inductive effect of the bridge for resonance generation thus being given by the total width of the bridge, the flow of currents on this bridge in each subsequent frequency range however being determined in such a way that the effective width of the bridge, corresponding to the further frequency, is smaller than the geometric width B, so that the antenna also resonates in this frequency range.
- An antenna according to claims 1 to 3,
characterised in that in the case of a large frequency ratio between a second and the first frequency range, the slits (10) are arranged, with a constant slit width (9), so they have an electrical length of approximately 1/4 Lambda in the second frequency range, so that they have a large reactance at the open end on the edge of the conducting surface. - An antenna according to claims 1 to 4,
characterised in that a narrow slit width (9) is selected to effect a geometrical reduction in the necessary slit length and the closed end of the slit is formed by the edge of a recessed surface (14) which is large in comparison with the surface of the slit, so that the slit has a large reactance in the second frequency range at its open end, this reactance being as small as possible in the first frequency range. - An antenna according to claims 1 to 5,
characterised in that the first electrically-conductive surface (1) is rectangular, and the connection point (3) is substantially disposed on the central vertex (16) of the edge (5), which forms the first conductive surface (1) with the bridge (4). - An antenna according to claims 1 to 5,
characterised in that the first electrically-conductive surface (1) is shaped as a circle with a missing segment and the connection point (3) is substantially disposed on the central vertex (16) of the substantially straight edge (5) which is formed by the missing segment of the circle and which forms the first conductive surface (1) with the bridge (4). - An antenna according to claims 1 to 5,
characterised in that the first electrically-conductive surface (1) is shaped as a sector of a circle with a missing sector triangle at the point of the circle sector, the connection point (3) being substantially disposed on the bisector (6) of the circle sector, the opening angle of the circle sector being less than 180 degrees. - An antenna according to claims 1 to 8,
characterised in that at least two slits (10) on the first electrically-conductive surface (1) lead from the edge substantially in a straight line towards the conducting bridge (4), symmetrically about the line of symmetry, and in the direction of the effective inner area (13) for the further frequency range. - An antenna according to claim 7 or 8, characterised in that slits, in the form of sector radii, run in a substantially straight line from the edge of the first electrically-conductive surface (1) in the direction of the effective inner area (13).
- An antenna according to claims 1 to 10,
characterised in that slits of varying length are arranged on the first and/or second conducting surface (1, 2) for the development of further resonances for further frequency ranges. - An antenna according to claim 11, characterised in that a plurality of slits, running symmetrically about the line of symmetry in a substantially straight line, are provided so that effective inner areas are set up for resonance generation in the D net, E net and for the satellite-supported navigation system GPS.
- An antenna according to claims 1 to 12,
characterised in that the second conductive surface (2) is a substantially horizontal conductive surface of a motor vehicle body. - An antenna according to claims 1 and 2,
characterised in that the first and second conductive surface are substantially congruent to one another and the outer jacket of the coaxial cable (7) is parallel to the second conductive surface (2) so that it does not disturb the electrical field vertical to the surfaces (1, 2). - An antenna according to claim 14, characterised in that it is disposed on a non-conductive surface of a motor vehicle body.
