Abstract
Abstract An antenna for transmitter and receiver of a portable radio appliance (cordless telephone, mobile telephone, pager, telepoint appliance and so forth) essentially consists of two sheet-metal angles (2,3) which are arranged adjacently to one another. One of the two elements is excited with radio-frequency currents by means of a coaxial feedline (4). The second sheet-metal angle (3) is excited by parasitic coupling from the first sheet-metal angle (2). The sheet-metal angles (2,3) are identically oriented and the distance between them is much shorter in the end area than at the bending edge of the apex line. This results in high reactive currents and low impedance. The antenna can also be modified by feeding both sheet-metal angles (2,3), dividing it into two identical part-antennas or several sheet-metal angles. The sheet-metal angles can consist of metal foils which are applied to a plastic housing. In addition, an embodiment with wire angles is also possible.
