Definitions
- the invention relates to a dual band antenna, in particular a portable high frequency dual band antenna.
- EP 0 896 385 B1 shows an antenna which operates in two different frequency bands of 1.6 GHz and 2.4 GHz. It is composed of at least two antenna elements.
- the two antenna elements are an elongate radiation element and a linear radiation element, which is arranged helically.
- the two radiation elements form a common antenna, which is used for both frequency bands.
- the antenna is rigid.
- the disadvantage is that the antenna shown there is less resilient due to their rigid design and therefore less suitable for a robust use.
- the invention is based on the object to provide a robust, portable antenna which operates with high quality in a very wide frequency range. Is achieved according to the invention by the features of independent claim 1. Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
- An antenna has two antenna elements which are connected to each other.
- the first antenna element consists at least partially of at least one flexible metal band.
- the second antenna element consists at least partially of a flexible corrugated pipe. This ensures a high degree of robustness of the antenna. At the same time the portability is guaranteed. Also a high quality is given.
- the second antenna element can be connected to a radio.
- the first antenna element and the second antenna element preferably together form a first sub-antenna, while the second antenna element preferably alone forms a second sub-antenna.
- the second antenna element preferably carries the first antenna element. This further increases the portability.
- the antenna elements preferably have a common longitudinal axis. So a high stability with low weight is given.
- the sub-antennas are each optimized for different frequency bands. This makes it possible to use the antenna in a wide frequency range.
- the first sub-antenna is preferably optimized for a frequency band from 30 MHz to 88 MHz.
- the second sub-antenna is preferred for a frequency band of 200 iz optimized.
- an application of the antenna in the two aforementioned frequency bands is possible.
- the first antenna element is advantageously connected by means of a coil to the second antenna element, which preferably electrically connects the first antenna element for a low frequency range with the second antenna element and preferably electrically separates from the second antenna element for a high frequency range.
- An improvement in the quality of the antenna is achieved. On two separate antennas for different frequency ranges can be dispensed with.
- the antenna includes a matching network, which preferably with the second
- the second antenna element is preferably connectable to a radio by means of the matching network. This allows optimal adaptation to the radio. When replacing the antenna, the matching network is automatically exchanged. This increases the reliability.
- the matching network is arranged within the corrugated pipe. This reduces the space requirement and thus increases the portability.
- the matching network preferably adjusts the impedance of the antenna to the impedance of the radio.
- the adaptation preferably takes place as a function of the frequency of transmitted signals. This ensures optimal interaction between the antenna and the radio.
- the first antenna element advantageously has a length of 600mm to 1200mm, preferably from 700mm to It prefers 800mm. This allows favorable high frequency characteristics. Furthermore, it allows the entrainment of the antenna.
- the second antenna element advantageously has a length of 300 mm to 700 mm, preferably of 400 mm to 600 mm, particularly preferably of 500 mm. This allows favorable high frequency characteristics. Furthermore, it allows the antenna to be carried by a person.

- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an antenna according to the invention is shown.
- a first antenna element 30 has a large extent along its longitudinal axis. It is connected via a coil 31 to a second antenna element 32.
- the second antenna element 32 also has a large extent along its longitudinal axis.
- the longitudinal axis of the two antenna elements 30, 32 are largely identical.
- the second antenna element 32 is connectable at its lower end to a radio.
- the second antenna element 32 has its own sub-antenna. This is achieved in that the coil 31 strongly attenuates the transmission of high frequencies between the two antenna elements 30, 32. Thus, signals received by the first antenna element 30 may be higher
- Frequencies are not transmitted to the radio.
- the high frequency signals received by the second antenna element 32 may be received by the radio.
- the first antenna element 30 and the second antenna element 32 together form a further sub-antenna.
- This sub-antenna only receives low-frequency signals. These signals are attenuated much weaker by the coil 31. These signals can thus be received by the radio.
- Fig. 2 shows a first embodiment of the antenna 1 according to the invention.
- the antenna 1 consists of a first antenna element 3, a connecting element 4, a second antenna element 5 and a matching network 6.
- the first antenna element 3 consists of e.g. a bendable metal strip. Alternative designs are possible. In particular, a plurality of metal strips may preferably be stacked on top of each other and e.g. held together by a plastic wrapper. The length of the first antenna element 3 is shown shortened in the drawing. By using a flexible metal strip a great robustness is achieved.
- the antenna 1 is so resistant to
- the first antenna element 3 has in this is a length of 50mm from 800mm. However, a length of 600mm to 1200mm would also be usable.
- the first antenna element 3 is connected to the second antenna element 5 by means of the connecting element 4.
- the second antenna element here has a length 51 of 500 mm. This includes the length of the matching network 6 and part of the connecting element 4. However, a length of 300mm to 700mm would also be usable.
