  • Publication number: 20160064807
    Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of multiband vehicular antenna assemblies. In an exemplary embodiment, an antenna assembly for installation to a vehicle body wall is disclosed. The antenna assembly generally includes an antenna comprising electrical conductors along first and second sides of the first antenna that are interconnected to thereby define an electrical path extending around at least part of the antenna. The antenna is configured to be operable within multiple frequency bands including at least a first frequency band, a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band, and a third frequency band higher than the second frequency band. For example, an exemplary embodiment includes an antenna operable within multiple frequency bands including AM (amplitude modulation), FM (frequency modulation), and DAB-III (digital audio broadcasting) frequency bands.
