Abstract
Abstract An antenna arrangement for personal radio transceivers in which a main antenna extends from the housing of the transceiver which is excited by a high frequency connector thereof, includes an auxiliary antenna which is coupled to a cold terminal of the connector to form a counterweight for the main antenna. Both the main and auxiliary antennas are resonant and shorter than the quarterwavelength, whereby the housing is placed at a potential minimum and the effects of the close presence of a human body on radiational properties for the arrangement will be reduced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
198 words
A hand-held personal radio transceiver and antenna combination comprising: (a) a housing (3) made of conductive material and adapted to be held in a user's hand when in use; (b) a high-frequency transmitter and receiver (2) in said housing having a warm terminal for transmitting and receiving high-frequency signals, and a cold terminal, said warm terminal being isolated from said conductive material of said housing; high-frequency connector means for connecting said conductive material to said cold terminal; a resonant main antenna (1) which is shorter than the quarterwave of signals to be transmitted and received by said high-frequency transmitter and receiver, said main antenna connected to said warm terminal and extending out from one end of said housing; isolating means connected between said main antenna and said housing for isolating said main antenna from said conductive material of said housing; and a resonant auxiliary antenna (4) which is shorter than the quarterwavelength, pivotally connected to said conductive material of said housing at a location remote from said end of said housing for establishing an electrical counterpoise to said main antenna, said auxiliary antenna extending at an angle of from 90° to 180° with respect to said main antenna.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
