  • Patent number: 6570538
    Abstract: An antenna structure which comprises at least one active and at least one parasitic antenna conductor and which is arranged to be fitted on top of a planar electroconductive surface at a distance from said surface which is arranged to be used as a ground plane for said antenna structure, and which antenna structure comprises, arranged parallelly at a distance from each other, a first antenna conductor and a second antenna conductor which have an electrical length of approximately ¼ of the wavelength of the used frequency and which are parallel with said ground plane, and which comprise opposite first ends and opposite free second ends, wherein the antenna structure is equipped with symmetrical conductors for short-circuiting the first ends to said ground plane and a first conductor for coupling the supply to a desired point between the first end and a second end of the active antenna conductor.

  • Patent number: 6542131
    Abstract: Apparatus for suppressing mutual interference between antennas placed close to each other, said apparatus consisting of at least one elongated suppressing element (5) of electrically conductive material, fitted between the antenna radiators (11, 21) and disposed in a plane transverse to the connecting line between the antennas. The suppressing element is disposed in the direction of radiation and its length equals a quarter or a multiple of a quarter of one of the wavelengths in the frequency range of the antennas, thus functioning as a resonator tuned at least to the frequency range in question, radiating in a plane transverse to the direction of radiation of the antennas (1, 2).
