Combined structure of a helical antenna and a dielectric plate
First Claim
1. An antenna for a communication device operating at radio frequency, which antenna comprises:
- a cylindrical coil conductor which forms a helix, the coil being fed a high frequency signal; and
a generally planar dielectric plate mechanically supporting said helix, said helix being attached to said dielectric plate by at least one attachment point, said dielectric plate having a radiator which supports an electrically conductive conductor pattern thereon which is in electrical contact with said helix and extends, at least in part, inside said helix.

Abstract
The invention relates to a particular structure of high-frequency antenna, which comprises a support element (1) provided with a cylindrical coil conductor which forms a helix (2). On the support element (1) there is formed, for example by means of a conductive coating, the electrical parts of the antenna, such as the attachment points (3b) for the helix and for other parts, such as feeder lines (4), radiators (5) or impedance matching devices. By varying the number and size of the helices (2), the number and form of the feeder lines (4) and radiators (5) and the quality of any impedance matching devices, it is possible without difficulty to obtain a very wide choice of different antenna structures. The feeder lines and radiators extend, at least in part, within the helix.
