Abstract
Abstract An antenna which in one embodiment is formed from a plate and which has openings formed therein wherein the opening comprises one-eighth to seven-eighths of the total area of the plate and which forms a composite antenna having a dipole and loop portion. The antenna may also be formed in printed circuit form as a thin foil upon a supporting member and may be directly mounted on a television set, for example.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
An antenna comprising: a conductive plate member; at least a pair of window openings formed in said plate and arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of the conductive plate member so as to form a loop antenna and a dipole antenna in the plate member, the window openings having an area in the range between one-eighth to seven-eighths of that enclosed by said conductive plate member such that said conductive plate member functions as a combination loop and dipole antenna; and a dipole antenna mounted forwardly of said conductive plate member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
An antenna comprising: a conductive plate member; at least a pair of window openings formed in said plate and arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of the conductive plate member so as to form a loop antenna and a dipole antenna in the plate member, the window openings having an area in the range between one-eighth to seven-eighths of that enclosed by said conductive plate member such that said conductive plate member functions as a combination loop and dipole antenna; and a dipole antenna mounted forwardly of said conductive plate member.
