  • Patent number: 9024829
    Abstract: A CB antenna arrangement for use in a raised roof of a truck cab enables the CB antenna to be hidden from view while maintaining good performance. An LC circuit is mounted in the space between the headliner and the raised dielectric roof and is connected to one of the metallic pillars of the truck cab. A CB antenna is connected to the LC circuit, and is mounted to and extends along the inside surface parallel to the driver's side or the passenger's side. The LC circuit is configured to block signals outside the CB frequency range, and the metallic pillar provides a ground plane for the CB antenna.

  • Publication number: 20090267865
    Abstract: A field antenna comprises an antenna assembly and an optional mast assembly. The antenna assembly can comprise two antenna portions coupled to a feedcone assembly as a single foldable unit. The mast assembly can comprise a unitary telescoping mast. The field antenna can be part of an antenna kit that can be disassembled and packed in a transit bag for storage and transport. The antenna assembly can be used as a field antenna alone, or can be selectively mounted to the mast assembly or a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6791504
    Abstract: A tunable antenna system includes an antenna, a tuning mechanism, and a key that relates points of adjustment in the tuning mechanism to different installations of the antenna. The antenna can be tuned for a given installation by applying the key to the antenna without specialized knowledge or equipment. The system also includes a set of tunable antennas, each being tunable within a different range of electrical lengths. The number of antennas in the set is sufficient to cover a total range of electrical lengths for a given set of installations. Fewer antennas are needed to provide a tuned antenna for each installation.
