Abstract

Abstract A plane antenna for automobiles including a peri­pheral conducting surface (10), a first inner conducting surface (11) provided in the peripheral conducting sur­face with a space (21) in between, a second inner con­ducting surface (12) provided in the first inner conducting surface with a space (22) in between. A core conductor (31) of a first coaxial line (30) is connected to the first inner conducting surface and an outer skin (32) of the first coaxial line is connected to the peripheral conducting surface, and a core conductor (41) of a second coaxial line (40) is connected to the second inner conducting surface and an outer skin (42) of the second coaxial line is connected to the first inner con­ducting surface. The second coaxial line can be divided into two sections (40a, 50) so that these sections are inductively connected to each other by coils.
