  • Patent number: 8212737
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an antenna unit (10) for mounting on a mounting surface from a first side of the mounting surface. The antenna unit (10) comprises an element (12) comprising a first side (14) abutting against the mounting surface when the antenna unit (10) is mounted, and a second side (16) arranged parallel to and opposite the first side (14). The antenna unit (10) comprises an antenna mount (18) comprising an attachment member (22) in turn comprising a threaded hole (20) in which a bolt member (24) is applied. The bolt member (24) is manipulated by a tool (26) from the first side of the mounting surface. In a first end position of the attachment member (22), the same is applicable through a hole intended therefor in the mounting surface. In a second end position, when the bolt member (24) has been tightened by the tool (26), the attachment member (22) presses/clamps the antenna unit (10) against the first side of the mounting surface.

  • Patent number: 6664934
    Abstract: Matching circuit for radio antenna that functions on a two-frequency band which are spaced approximately at a distance of one octave, wherein the upper band is broad. For instance, the first frequency band may be 890-940 MHz and the other band 1710-2200 MHz. The radiator may be a dipole or a monopole over the earth plane, whose bandwidth is sufficient for the first band. The larger bandwidth for the second band is obtained with a transmission circuit that moves and forms the frequency curve stepwise in the Smith chart. When necessary, the matching circuit includes a broadband Balun transformer in addition to said matching circuit.

  • Patent number: 6636183
    Abstract: An antenna means for transmitting and/or receiving RF signals, a radio communication system and a method for manufacturing a radiating structure. The antenna means comprises a conductive structure (10) extending between first and second opposite edges (11, 12), and a feed portion. The conductive structure (10) is formed to a radiating structure (1) partially enclosing a volume, and the first and second edges (11, 12) are located at a distance from each other forming a radiating first slit (21), which has a first and a second open end. Hereby an antenna means, which can be made compact, and can operate in more than one frequency band is obtained. A second slit can be arranged to improve the operation in a higher frequency band. The radio communication system comprises transmitting/receiving circuits connected to an such antenna means.

  • Patent number: 6538607
    Abstract: An adapter antenna (2) is used for contactless connection of a mobile telephone (1) to an external antenna (4) in case the telephone lacks a connector for coaxial cable (3) for such a purpose. The most common application is when a mobile telephone is to be used in a vehicle. Transfer of radio waves occurs in the near field of the built-in antenna (6) of the telephone by capacitive coupling. One preferred embodiment especially suited for plane inverted antennae of type L, E or F is described. An optimizing method for two frequency bands is described.

  • Patent number: 6239769
    Abstract: The known antenna connectors for transmitting RF-signals from an outside antenna to a portable telephone includes a connecting cable (8), one end of which is connected to the outside antenna (11) and the second end which is connected with a circuit (4), which capacitively or inductively transmits the RF-signals from the outside antenna to a main antenna of the telephone. In order to improve the coupling performance said circuit consists of a meander formed loop (4) of conductive material, which loop (4) is arranged on a substrate (5) of non conducting material and in one end (6) is connected with the connecting cable (7). The cable has a screen (10) which is connected with a ground element (9), and couples with the ground plane of the telephone, whereat the meander formed loop is placed beside main antenna (11) when transmitting RF-signals.
