Active receiving antenna
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A slot antenna arrangement which is used as a receiving antenna for differently polarized waves comprising:
- a slot shaped recess formed in a metal surface which defined one wall of a shallow cavity disposed at and closing off a rear of the slot-shaped recess;
a dielectric material filling the cavity;
a low noise preamplifier;
a pair of feed lines (L1, L2) for coupling the slot-shaped recess in-phase to the low-noise preamplifier, with the pair of feed lines having different lengths to set a specific phase position of the waves received by the antenna; and
the preamplifier and the feed lines are disposed in the dielectric material within the cavity.

Abstract
An active receiving antenna for vehicles, including a slot-shaped antenna cut into the metallic vehicle body, and having small-depth cavity filled with a dielectric material which closes off the antenna toward the back or interior of the vehicle. A low-noise preamplifier, which is integrated into the dielectric material, is connected to the antenna via two feed lines of different length. The desired polarizations of the received signals are set via this preamplifier, which can be changed over and be switched off.
