Abstract An antenna mount 31 consisting of a hollow bulging member is formed so as protrude locally from the top of a portable telephone housing 30. A first antenna 10 with an electrical length of λ/4 is provided inside the antenna mount so that the base end Q of the first antenna is connected to a feeder cable 15. A second antenna 20 with an electrical length of 3 λ/4 is installed parallel to the first antenna 10 at a prescribed distance from the first antenna so that the second antenna can be freely extended from and retracted into the housing 30 via the antenna mount 31 and so that the base end 23 of the second antenna 20 is connected to the earthing means 32 of the housing 30 when the second antenna is extended from the housing 30, thus providing a J-form antenna formed by the first and second antennas 10 and 20. It is desirable that the first and second antennas 10 and 20 each be equipped with an element-shortening means.
A telescopic antenna for portable telephones characterized in that said antenna comprises: an antenna mount consisting of a hollow bulging member which is installed so as to protrude locally from a top of a portable telephone housing; a first antenna which is provided inside said antenna mount with a base end of said first antenna connected to a feeder cable, said first antenna having an electrical length set at λ/4, where λ is a wavelength of electromagnetic waves in a frequency band used; and a second antenna which is set parallel to said first antenna at a prescribed distance from said first antenna and is provided in said housing so as to be extended from and retracted into said housing through said antenna mount, a base end of said second antenna being connected to an earthing means provided in said housing when said second antenna is extended from said housing, and said second antenna having an electrical length set at 3 λ/4, wherein when said second antenna is extended from said housing, a J-form antenna is formed by said first and second antennas, and when said second antenna is retracted into said housing, an internal antenna which is used for incoming calls is formed by said first antenna alone.
