Abstract A three-wave common antenna for AM/FM and ultra high frequency waves combined in a single unit and mounted on vehicles including AM/FM antenna element mounted on a vehicle body at its base, a non-grounded type ultra high frequency antenna element disposed on top of the AM/FM antenna element such that the beam in a vertical plane thereof is close to the horizontal direction, a coaxial feeder cable for ultra high frequency which, along the AM/FM antenna element, is led into a vehicle body with one end thereof connected to the ultra high frequency antenna element, a characteristic compensating circuit connected to the AM/FM antenna element, and a feeder cable for AM/FM waves connected to the characteristic compensating circuit.
A three-wave common antenna for vehicles comprising: an elongated tubular AM/FM antenna coupled to and extending outwardly from a vehicle body at a lower end, said AM/FM antenna not being an optimum antenna length; a non-grounded ultra high frequency antenna coupled to an upper end of said AM/FM antenna, a radiation pattern in a vertical plane of said ultra high frequency antenna being substantially in a horizontal direction; a coaxial feeder cable for ultra high frequency, one end of said coaxial feeder cable being coupled to an input of said non-grounded ultra high frequency antenna and said coaxial feeder cable being led inside of the vehicle body along said AM/FM antenna; a characteristic compensating electric circuit coupled to an input of said AM/FM antenna for electrically compensating for said AM/FM antenna not being the optimum antenna length; and a feeder cable for AM/FM waves, one end of said feeder cable being coupled to an output of said characteristic compensating electric circuit.
