Abstract: A whip antenna is movable between a first position corresponding to a state in which the whip antenna is extended from a casing of the mobile communication terminal, and a second position corresponding to a state the whip antenna is accommodated within the casing. A built-in antenna is disposed within the casing. A power feeding circuit is disposed within the casing. A first matching circuit has a first impedance, through which the power feeding circuit and the whip antenna are electrically connected when the whip antenna is placed at the first position. A second matching circuit has a second impedance which is higher than the first impedance, through which the whip antenna is grounded when the whip antenna is placed at the second position. A switch mechanism is opened so that the built-in antenna is electrically disconnected from the power feeding circuit when the whip antenna is placed at the first position, and closed so that the built-in antenna is electrically connected to the power feeding circuit.

Abstract: An antenna for mounting on a vehicle which restrains damping of a signal voltage by reducing a stray capacitance of a signal path and has an improved antenna characteristic and a short physical length, and an antenna element which is suitable for an antenna for mounting on a vehicle and is flexible by using a helical coil of a large winding diameter are provided. In the antenna for mounting on a vehicle, with respect to a band signal having a short wavelength of a plurality of band signals to be transmitted/received, an antenna element is caused to resonate with a physical length shorter than ¼ of the wavelength of the band signal. A linear line portion is provided at the proximal end, and the antenna element is provided at a predetermined distance from vehicle body and a conductive member of the same electric potential as the vehicle body. The stray capacitance between the proximal end portion of the antenna element and the vehicle body is small, and a signal voltage is outputted without being damped.

Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

Abstract: A motor-driven antenna device in which an antenna element (10) has a short protruding length so that the outer dimension of the entire device is reduced, and in which damping of an AM-band signal by a signal path is restrained with a small stray capacitance. A rack cord (12) to be meshed with a pinion gear (24) is connected to a proximal portion of the antenna element (10) made of a helical coil over its entire length, and the antenna element (10) is caused to protrude and move to be housed by rotational driving of a motor drive section. The rack cord (12), the motor drive section and the pinion gear (24) are housed in a case (14), and a guide (26) to which the rack cord (12) is abutted and moves while bending is provided in the case (14). Thus, the rack cord (12) is abutted and moves to the guide (26) by the movement of the antenna element (10).

Abstract: The antenna element (1) of a long conductor is formed with at least one returned portion (1a) arranged substantially in parallel to a longitudinal direction of the antenna element. In practice, a physical length of the antenna element in the longitudinal direction is determined to such a length as to be substantially resonated in a first frequency band, and the at least one returned portion (1a) is formed in such a way as to be resonated in a second frequency band twice higher than the first frequency band on the basis of an electric coupling with the adjacent antenna element.

Abstract: A plurality of insulators are disposed in holes, respectively, defined in a metal plate of a waveguide of a circularly-polarized-wave flat antenna. Each insulator has a through-hole and a protrusion. The through-hole extends from the outside of the metal plate to the inside of the waveguide. The protrusion protrudes outward beyond the metal plate. The protrusion has a groove which is open to the outside. Curl antenna elements each have a shaft portion, an arm portion, and a curl portion. The shaft portion is fitted in the through-hole of the insulator and partly protrudes outward from the metal plate. The arm portion extends from the protruded end of the shaft portion. The curl portion is in a substantially helical shape and connected to the top of the arm portion.
