Abstract

An improved antenna assembly, wherein: the opposing end regions of the dipole halves are each electrically connected to a respective connection line; the connection lines lead to two amplifiers; the outputs of both amplifiers are connected to the two inputs of a transform, whose output is at least indirectly electrically connected to a connector, a coaxial connector; one or more filters are provided; the filters are positioned between the connection lines and the connector terminal; the filter or filters is/are designed to suppress mobile radio frequency ranges and/or to protect broadcasting signals.

Claims (15)

1. An antenna arrangement having a flat dipole which is arranged on a substrate, comprising:

dipole halves including end areas, the end areas which point towards one another each being electrically connected to respective connecting line,

plural amplifiers, the connecting lines leading to said plural amplifiers,

a transformer;

the plural amplifiers having outputs, the outputs of the plural amplifiers being connected to the two inputs of the transformer, the output of the transformer being at least indirectly electrically connected to a coaxial connection point,

plural filters,

the dipole halves being arranged on the substrate together with the plural amplifiers and the plural filters,

the plural filters being arranged between the connecting lines which lead to the dipole halves, and the connection point,

the filters being provided for suppression of mobile radio frequency ranges and/or as protection for broadcast radio signals,

a low-pass filter connected between the outputs of the plural amplifiers and the connection point in order to suppress mobile radio frequencies (cellular telephone frequencies), and

a bandstop filter connected between the outputs of the plural amplifiers and the connection point.

2. The antenna arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bandstop filter is connected downstream from the low-pass filter.

3. The antenna arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting lines are connected to one another via a connection line, with a high-pass filter connected between them.

4. The antenna arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting lines respectively have at least one capacitance, and/or the end areas of the dipole halves are preferably connected to the respective downstream amplifier via a capacitive coupling.

5. The antenna arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the low-pass filter and/or the bandstop filter are/is provided downstream from the transformer and upstream of the connecting point.
