Automobile active receiving antenna
First Claim
1. An active receiving broadcast band antenna for an automobile radio receiver of amplitude and frequency modulated signals having a common feeder, comprising:
- an antenna body mounted within the automobile interior;
a bandpass filter having an input circuit including a capacitor, said capacitor comprising a metal member insulated from the automobile body and arranged in close vicinity to the automobile windshield and a structural member of said automobile body, said bandpass filter being included within said antenna body;
a frequency-modulated signal amplifier positioned within said antenna body having an input connected to said bandpass filter and having an output;
a power supply circuit for said frequency-modulated signal amplifier;
a frequency correcting network positioned within said antenna body;
an amplitude-modulated signal amplifier positioned within said antenna body and having an input connected to said bandpass filter via said frequency correcting network and an output;
a power supply circuit for said amplitude-modulated signal amplifier;
an interference filter connected to said power supply circuits of said frequency-modulated and amplitude-modulated signal amplifiers; and
a frequency separation filter, said outputs of said frequency-modulated and amplitude-modulated signal amplifiers being connected to said common feeder of said radio receiver via said frequency separation filter.

Abstract
An automobile active receiving broadcast band antenna having a bandpass filter input circuit capacitor formed by a metal member insulated from the automobile body and arranged in close vicinity to the windshield and by an automobile body structural element, an antenna body having arranged therein a bandpass filter, a frequency-modulated signal amplifier, an amplitude-modulated signal amplifier, a frequency correcting network, an interference filter, a frequency separation filter, said antenna body being mounted within the automobile interior. The effect of external mechanical and climatic factors on the antenna elements are minimized during operation, while the use of automobile radio receivers for the driver and passengers is made more convenient, without affecting the automobile'"'"'s aerodynamic characteristics nor impairing the automobile'"'"'s outside appearance.
