Definitions
- the present invention relates to an antenna capable of receiving 4 wavebands, portable radiophone bands, FM radio bands, AM radio bands and GPS bands, and more particularly to an antenna that is well-suited for use as a roof antenna, which is mounted to the roof of a car body.
- an FM radio and AM radio are generally provided inside a car body, an antenna capable of receiving both FM radio bands and AM radio bands is convenient, and roof antennas, which are capable of receiving and sharing the use of both radio bands are in widespread use.
- GPS global positioning system
- portable radiophones have been gaining popularity recently, and a GPS antenna is attached to a car body for a car navigation system, and a portable radiophone antenna is attached to a car body for a portable radiophone.
- a keyless entry antenna is also attached to a car body.
- the retractable rod antenna 101 is a 3-waveband antenna capable of receiving portable radiophone bands, FM radio bands and AM radio bands
- the flat radiating element 102 is a GPS antenna, which receives GPS signals
- the loop radiating element 103 is a keyless entry antenna, which receives keyless entry signals.
- Each of these antennas is mounted on the upper surface of a main unit 100.
- a metal plate 104 is provided on the upper part of the main unit 100, and the flat radiating element 102 and loop radiating element 103 are formed on top of the plate 104 with a dielectric layer between them. Because this plate functions as the ground plane, the flat radiating element 102 and loop radiating element 103 are operated as microstrip antennas.
- a protective cover 105 is also formed on top of the flat radiating element 102 and loop radiating element 103.
- the multi-frequency antenna can be mounted to the trunk lid or fender of a car body, but it cannot be mounted to a location such as the roof, where a storage space does not exist.
- a keyless entry loop radiating element 103 when a keyless entry loop radiating element 103 is provided so that it surrounds the flat radiating element 102, which is the GPS antenna, since the angle of elevation of a GPS radio wave is often a low angle of elevation, depending on the position of the GPS satellite, this can have an extremely adverse affect on the sensitivity of the GPS antenna.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a multi-frequency antenna, which can be mounted to an elevated location such as the roof of a car body, where a storage space does not exist, and which is designed so as not to adversely affect the operation of a GPS antenna.
