Abstract

A transmitter-receiver for four different frequency ranges of two transmission systems has four dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) for each frequency range to improve and a simplify separation of different frequency ranges. Two DRA'"'"'s are provided for reception and transmission in the first transmission system, and two other DRA'"'"'s are provided for reception and transmission in the second transmission system.

Claims

1. A transmitter-receiver for at least four different frequency ranges of a first transmission system and a second transmission system, comprising at least four antenna arrangements for each of said at least four different frequency ranges, wherein at least four dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) are provided for forming said at least four antenna arrangements,

a first DRA of said at least four DRAs being configured for reception in a first one of said four different frequency ranges in said first transmission system,

a second DRA of said at least four DRAs being configured for transmission in a second one of said four different frequency ranges in said first transmission system,

a third DRA of said at least four DRAs being configured for reception in a third one of said four different frequency ranges in said second transmission system,

a fourth DRA of said at least four DRAs being configured for transmission in a fourth one of said four different frequency ranges in said second transmission system.

2. A mobile radiotelephone including a transmitter-receiver for at least four different frequency ranges in which at least four antenna arrangements are provided for each of said at least four frequency ranges, wherein at least four dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) are provided for forming said at least four antenna arrangements,

a first DRA of said at least four DRAs being configured for reception in a first one of said four different frequency ranges in said first transmission system,

a second DRA of said at least four DRAs being configured for transmission in a second one of said four different frequency ranges in said first transmission system,

a third DRA of said at least four DRAs being configured for reception in a third one of said four different frequency ranges in said second transmission system,

a fourth DRA of said at least four DRAs being configured for transmission in a fourth one of said four different frequency ranges in said second transmission system.
