Patent ID: 6917340

Claim:
A combination antenna arrangement for the reception of at least two wireless communication services comprising; a first antenna ( 14 ) designed to have a closely tolerated directional diagram for an assigned frequency range ( 6 ) for the reception of a first wireless communication service, and having at least one radiation part ( 20 ) coupled to an antenna connection point ( 22 ); at least a second antenna ( 15 ) having a plurality of spaced-apart conductor parts ( 3 ) for reception of an additional wireless communication services ( 2 ) with an assigned frequency range ( 9 ), and radiation-coupled with said at least one radiation part ( 20 ) of said first antenna ( 14 ), said conductor parts ( 3 ) of said second antenna ( 15 ) being divided into segments ( 4 ) defining interruption points ( 10 ) therebetween, the greatest dimension ( 5 ) for each segment ( 4 ) being selected to be smaller than ⅜ of the wavelength λ for the frequency range ( 6 ) of the first wireless communication service ( 1 ); and, a plurality of low loss frequency-dependent reactance circuits ( 8 ) bridging said interruption points ( 10 ) in order for the combination antenna arrangement to function, said circuits ( 8 ) having a sufficiently high impedance ( 7 ) in the frequency range ( 6 ) of the first wireless communication service ( 1 ), and an impedance ( 7 ) that is preselected for proper functioning in the frequency range ( 9 ) of the additional wireless communication services ( 2 ).
