Arrangement for coupling a mobile phone to an external antenna
First Claim
1. An arrangement, in particular a mobile telephone coupling arrangement, for coupling an antenna, which is in the form of at least one of a transmitting and receiving antenna, of a mobile telephone from a plurality of different mobile telephones to an external antenna of a vehicle with low levels of loss and interference radiation, the arrangement comprising:
- a first antenna structure comprising at least an antenna body for wireless transmission signals to and from the antenna of the mobile phone, wherein the first antenna structure wirelessly transmits and receives signals on at least one mobile communications frequency; and
a receptacle having an accommodation space spatially dimensioned so that mobile phones of different dimensions can be placed against a wall of the accommodation space, wherein said wall is a bottom wall of the accommodation space, and the first antenna structure is arranged below a surface of said wall of the accommodation space,wherein the antenna body has a flat web-like shape having a width B4, a height H4, and a length L4, the length L4 extending substantially parallel to the surface of said wall of the accommodation space, and the height H4 extending in a direction orthogonal to the surface of said wall of the accommodation space,wherein the height H4 is a multiple of the width B4 of the antenna body, and the length L4 is a multiple of the height H4 of the antenna body,wherein a conductive structure extends through the antenna body of the first antenna structure and centrally intersects the first antenna structure with respect to the length L4 and the width B4, and the first antenna structure is symmetrical with respect to the antenna body, when the symmetry is observed with respect to a line of reflection and a mirror image inverted plane of reflection, which are orthogonal to said wall against which the mobile phone is placed, andwherein the arrangement forms a three-dimensional, symmetrical antenna structure for coupling the antenna of the mobile telephone with a low level of loss independent of the position of the mobile telephone in the accommodation space.

4. A mobile telephone accommodation arrangement for accommodating a mobile telephone from amongst a large number of different mobile telephones in a vehicle and for coupling the mobile telephone to devices of the vehicle, in particular to an external antenna and/or a hands-free device of the vehicle, the arrangement comprising:
-
a first antenna structure for the wire-free transmission of signals to and from the transmit/receive antenna of the mobile telephone; and a second antenna structure for transmitting energy to the mobile telephone having a ring shape that substantially surrounds the first antenna structure, wherein a container having an accommodation space which is physically dimensioned in such a way that mobile telephones of different dimensions can be placed on and removed from one of a wall and a base of the accommodation space; the first antenna structure is arranged beneath a surface of the wall of the accommodation space, the first antenna structure comprises a flat web-like antenna body which has a length that runs approximately parallel to the surface of the wall, which has a width that runs approximately parallel to the surface of the wall, and which has a height that is approximately perpendicular to the surface of the wall, wherein the first antenna structure transmits and receives on a mobile radio frequency, and wherein the second antenna structure runs through adjacent walls of the container and surrounds the accommodation space, wherein energy is transmitted from the vehicle to the mobile telephone by way of the second antenna structure inductively in the near field, wherein an imaginary plane which is defined by the second antenna structure is oriented parallel to the rear face of the mobile telephone which is located in the accommodation space. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A mobile telephone coupling arrangement to an external antenna comprising:
-
a mobile telephone having a transmit/receive antenna; an external antenna; an accommodation space; a three-dimensional antenna structure; and a second antenna structure for transmitting energy to the mobile telephone having a ring shape that substantially surrounds the three-dimensional antenna structure, wherein the accommodation space is physically dimensioned to be larger and extend beyond the mobile telephone having the transmit/receive antenna so that the mobile telephone can be placed at any position in the accommodation space, the accommodation space consisting of a pair of opposing side walls, a pair of opposing end walls that connect the pair of opposing side walls and a base wall that connects to the pair of opposing side walls and the pair of opposing end walls, the second antenna structure runs through adjacent walls of the container and surrounds the accommodation space, wherein energy is transmitted from the vehicle to the mobile telephone by way of the second antenna structure inductively in the near field, wherein an imaginary plane which is defined by the second antenna structure is oriented parallel to the rear face of the mobile telephone which is located in the accommodation space, the three dimensional antenna structure couples the external antenna to the transmit/receive antenna of the mobile telephone when the mobile telephone is placed in the accommodation space, and the coupling between the transmit/receive antenna of the mobile telephone and the external antenna has low levels of loss and interference radiation independent of a position of the mobile telephone in the accommodation space.
