Abstract

According to one embodiment, an antenna device includes a leaky coaxial cable, an electrical device and a cover. The cover which is formed with a slender internal space having a first and second ends in the length direction and a first and second vent holes that respectively connect the internal space with the outside at each of the neighbourhood of the first and second ends, and houses the leaky coaxial cable and the electrical devices in the internal space.

Claims

1. An antenna device, comprising:

a leaky coaxial cable;

an electrical device; and

a cover, which is formed with a slender internal space having a first and second ends in the length direction and a first and second vent holes that respectively connect the internal space with the outside at each of the neighbourhood of the first and second ends, and houses the leaky coaxial cable and the electrical devices in the internal space.

2. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a support table configured to support the cover in such as manner that the length direction of the cover substantially faces the vertical direction.

3. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a fan configured to generate an air current in the internal space.

4. The antenna apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising:

a fan configured to generate an air current in the internal space.

5. The antenna apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising:

an superposing circuit configured to superpose a high frequency signal with a direct-current voltage and supply a transmission signal as the superposition result to the first end of the leaky coaxial cable; and

a separation circuit that is connected with the second end of the leaky coaxial cable and separates the high frequency signal and the direct-current voltage from the transmission signal transmitted through the leaky coaxial cable, wherein

the fan is actuated by the direct-current voltage separated by the separation circuit.

6. The antenna apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

an superposing circuit configured to superpose a high frequency signal with a direct-current voltage and supply a transmission signal as the superposition result to the first end of the leaky coaxial cable; and

a separation circuit that is connected with the second end of the leaky coaxial cable and separates the high frequency signal and the direct-current voltage from the transmission signal transmitted through the leaky coaxial cable, wherein

the fan is actuated by the direct-current voltage separated by the separation circuit.

7. The antenna apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising:

a human body sensor arranged to detect a person approaching; and

a switch arranged to switch off the input of the direct-current voltage to the superposing circuit when the person approaching is not detected by the human body sensor.

8. The antenna apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising:

a human body sensor arranged to detect a person approaching; and

a switch arranged to switch off the input of the direct-current voltage to the superposing circuit when the person approaching is not detected by the human body sensor.
