DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to embodiments. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 6 denote the same or corresponding parts. A simple changeover switch 11 is used for a changeover switch circuit that switches according to the output of the envelope comparator 8, and the antennas 1 and 2 are changed over. The feeding points 3 and 4 of the antennas 1 and 2 and the switching section of the changeover switch 13 are connected by a transmission line 10.

FIG. 2 shows an electrical length and an input reactance characteristic (a) when an open stub is constituted by a cable having a characteristic impedance Zo. As shown in (b), when the electrical length l of the cable is 1 = λ / 4 or less, where λ is the wavelength, the reactance (capacity) is Xc = Zo,
The reactance when l = λ / 4 is X = 0, l = λ / 4
The reactance (inductive) at ~ λ / 2 is X
The reactance when L = Zo and l = λ / 2 is X = ∞. Since the resistivity of the conductor constituting the actual transmission line 10 is considerably low, the resistance of the open stub due to the transmission line 10 can be almost neglected, so that only the reactance component can be regarded.

The characteristic of the dipole antenna itself is almost a perfect circle, and as apparent from the figure, the reactance X = ∞Ω.
In this case, it can be said that the characteristics are almost reproduced. X = ∞
Ω is obtained when the electrical length of the transmission line is an integral multiple of λ / 2. Therefore, by setting the electrical length of the cable to λ / 2, the distance between the antennas # 1 and # 2 is about 0.5λ. However, each antenna exhibits radiation characteristics substantially equal to characteristics of a single antenna, and as a result, a sufficient diversity effect expected from the characteristics of a single antenna can be obtained.

As described above, a diversity antenna circuit having a high diversity effect can be realized by optimizing and adjusting the electric length of the transmission line to be an integral multiple of λ / 2, and each of the antennas # 1 and # 2 has a single radiation characteristic. Therefore, each antenna can be separately developed, and the reliability of the diversity effect can be improved.
