Patent ID: 7079083

Claim:
An antenna, in particular a mobile radio antenna, for operation in at least two frequency bands, having the following features: two or more dipole antenna elements are provided and are arranged in front of a reflector, the two or more dipole antenna elements have antenna elements or antenna element structures, at least one dipole antenna element of the two or more dipole antenna elements is provided which transmits and receives in a lower frequency band, and at least one antenna elements is provided which transmits and receives in a higher frequency band, and further including: a distance between the antenna element structure, the antenna elements or the antenna element top of at least one dipole antenna elements for the higher frequency band is at the distance from a reflector plane which corresponds to at least 75% and at most 150% of the distance between the antenna element structure, the antenna element or the antenna element top of at least one dipole antenna element for the lower frequency band and the reflector plane, and/or the distance between the antenna element structure, the antenna elements or the antenna element top of at least one dipole antenna element for the higher frequency band is at a distance from the reflector plane which is greater than 0.4λ and is preferably less than 2λ with respect to a mid-frequency of the antenna element for the higher frequency.
