  • Patent number: 10224588
    Abstract: A multiplex filter has at least n filter chambers which are surrounded by a housing and/or at least one insert positioned in the housing. A metal dividing device is constructed in each of the n filter chambers, dividing each filter chamber into m resonator chambers, wherein m?2. The resonator chambers are coupled perpendicular to the H fields and/or parallel to the central axis or with a component essentially perpendicular to the H fields and/or parallel to the central axis. A common connection is guided into the first filter chamber via a first opening in the housing, and is coupled in the same to the m resonators of the m resonator chambers. As a result of the fact that the coupling is established perpendicular to the H field, the resonator can have a very compact construction.

  • Patent number: 10211501
    Abstract: A high-frequency filter consists of a housing, which includes resonators, each of which has at least one dielectric. The n resonators are arranged along a central axis. The n resonators are isolated from one another by at least n?1 isolation devices. The n?1 isolation devices have coupling openings, through which a coupling is established at a right angle to or with one component predominantly at a right angle to the H field. A first signal line terminal is inserted into the first resonator chamber through a first opening in the housing and is in contact with the respective dielectric there. In addition or alternatively, a second signal line terminal is inserted into the nth resonator chamber through a second opening in the housing and is in contact with the respective dielectric there.

  • Patent number: 10186748
    Abstract: An improved mobile radio antenna suited to radio-frequency connections has a base module that comprises a plurality of mounting sections that each contain an internally threaded hole. An attachment module has mounting sections with through-holes made therein. Spacers are used between the base module and the attachment module. An undercut is provided in the through-hole in the attachment module such that the diameter of the through-hole merges into the undercut with a greater diameter in the plug-in direction, or is provided in a second electrically conductive spacer that is positioned on the attachment module on the side that is opposite the first spacer, the second spacer having a spacer hole with an undercut that broadens in the plug-in direction.

  • Patent number: 10177448
    Abstract: An adapter (10) comprises a single adapter output (45) connectable to at least one antenna line device (100a-c), at least two base station inputs (30a-c), the at least two base station inputs (30a-c) being individually connectable to a base station (110a-c) or a primary control device (460c) and at least one microcontroller (40a-c), the microcontroller (40a-c) being connected between one of the base station inputs (30a-c) and the single adapter output (45). An antenna system (5) comprising such an adapter (10) and a plurality of antenna line devices (100a-c) connected to the single adapter output (45) of the adapter is also disclosed. A method for operating the radio antenna (10) having a plurality of antenna line devices (100a-c) from at least two base stations (110a-c) is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10170816
    Abstract: An improved high-frequency filter has an adjustment or sliding device for adjusting the coupler bandwidth. The adjustment or sliding device is attached to at least one coupling element. The coupling element is associated with a coupler opening relating to a resonator. The coupling element is related to an associated coupler opening arranged in the resonator such that a means of adjustment and thus the coupling element is adjustable between two extreme settings through adjustment of the adjustment or sliding device in which the coupling element is fully or partially slid into the coupler opening or fully or partially slid out of the coupler opening or is moved or positioned away from the coupler opening.

  • Patent number: 10164314
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an antenna module for installing at an opening of a vehicle roof, wherein the antenna module can be arranged at the opening and can be latched there via at least one spring element, wherein the fastening of the antenna module can be secured to the vehicle roof via a locking element which, in its locking position, blocks a resilient backward movement of the spring element out of the latched position.
