  • Patent number: 6404396
    Abstract: The invention concerns detachable whip antennae with capacitive load wherein the load does not need to contribute to the antenna mechanical strength. To achieve this, the entire load (3) is inserted in the conductor strand (2f-21-33-32-2n) of a radiating segment of the antenna, the mechanical strength being provided by a hollow plastic insulating tube (20) reinforced with glass fibres, which acts as support for the conductor strand and as housing for the load and said load consists of a metal enclosure (33) wherein penetrates the insulated part of an electric cable (32). The invention is particularly applicable to whip antennae designed for mobile stations.

  • Patent number: 5977920
    Abstract: The invention relates chiefly to double antennas for metric and decimetric waves, designed for vehicles. The antenna comprises a single-pole antenna for low frequencies surmounted by a dipole type antenna for high frequencies. The supply cable of the dipole antenna has an external conductor used to form the single-pole antenna above the ground plane. Beneath the ground plane, this external conductor is wound in turns to constitute the secondary winding of a transformer for the supply of the single-pole antenna. Application especially to ground vehicles.
