  • Patent number: 7489279
    Abstract: Rear glass is provided with a patch-like radiation conductor and a first ground conductor surrounding the patch-like radiation conductor. An electronic circuit unit includes a base plate fixed on the rear glass; a frame body which houses a circuit substrate and is fixed on the base plate; and a cover for covering the frame body. One surface of the circuit substrate defines a component-holding surface which is connected with a second end of a feeder cable connected with the radiation conductor and the first ground conductor. The other surface of the circuit substrate is provided with a second ground conductor to function as a radio-wave reflective surface. The radio-wave reflective surface faces the radiation conductor and the first ground conductor disposed on the rear glass such that the radio-wave reflective surface is separated from the radiation conductor and the first ground conductor by a predetermined distance.

  • Patent number: 7199758
    Abstract: An antenna device is provided in which a common mode current does not flow in a coaxial cable. The coaxial cable is uprighted at the end of the base plate and bent toward the notched portion of the cover so that the connector reaches to the notched portion. A short-circuit stub structure is provided in such a manner that a part of the outer sheath of the coaxial cable is removed to expose the outer conductor and a ring-shaped metal terminal is crimped to the exposed outer conductor. The ring-shaped metal terminal is fixed by using a screw to an acceptance member made of a stainless steel provided on the base plate. The terminal is provided at the position within 0.25? from the feeding point of the ground antenna element.
