Patent ID: 7075498

Claim:
A stationary mobile radio antenna comprising: a reflector, at least one antenna element for operation in at least one polarization plane (PE), at least one passive, electrically conductive element, which is at least indirectly electrically conductively connected or electrically capacitively coupled to the reflector, the passive, electrically conductive element comprising a beamforming element, the at least one beamforming element being subdivided into at least two sections, including a mounting section and an operating section, which is connected to the area of the mounting section located further away from the reflector, the operating section being disposed on an operating plane (WE), the operating plane (WE) running parallel to, or differing from being parallel to by less than Â±20Â°, at least in that section of the reflector in the area of the beamforming element and/or of the antenna element to be influenced thereby, the length of the operating section being between 0.2Î» and 1.0Î», where lambda (Î») is a wavelength in the frequency band to be transmitted, the operating section or the operating plane (WE) being at a distance from the reflector in the area of the operating section, which distance is greater than or equal to 0.2Î» and is less than or equal to 1.5Î», where lambda Î» is the wavelength of the frequency band to be transmitted, the length of the mounting section being shorter than a maximum of twice the wavelength 2 Î» of the frequency band to be transmitted, the operating section being aligned parallel to, or differing by less than Â±20Â° from being parallel to the associated polarization plane (PE) of the antenna elements to be influenced thereby.
