  • the present invention relates generally to antenna devices and more particularly to an antenna device for use in a portable radio communication device, such as a mobile phone, which antenna device is adapted for receiving radio signals having a relatively low frequency, such as radio signals in the FM frequency band.
  • a conventional FM antenna for portable radio communication devices is usually provided in the headset wire connected to the communication device.
  • This configuration with a relatively long wire permits an antenna length that is sufficient also for low frequency applications.
  • this solution is obviously not feasible.
  • a known active FM rx antenna device for a mobile phone is illustrated in Fig. 1 .
  • a FM receiver 1 is connected to one end of a half-loop radiating element 2, which radiating element is short-circuited in the other end to reduce the size of the antenna device.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an antenna device for use in a portable radio communication device, which efficiently utilizes available space of the portable radio communication device and provides for at least FM frequency band operation.
  • the antenna device preferably comprises a switching arrangement at said first end and the filter device is arranged at the second end, wherein the switching arrangement is configured to switch between FM operation and DVB-H operation.
  • the antenna device comprises a switching arrangement at the second end and the filter device is arranged at the first end, wherein the switching arrangement is configured to switch between operation at frequencies at least ten times higher than FM frequencies and DVB-H operation.
  • the half-loop radiating element of the antenna device is preferably arranged over a ground plane device of a portable radio communication device, to provide a desired virtual loop.
  • radiating element is used. It is to be understood that this term is intended to cover electrically conductive elements arranged for receiving and/or transmitting radio signals.
