Disclosed is a vehicle, comprising an antenna apparatus inserted at least in regions into an antenna opening of a vehicle roof of the vehicle. The antenna apparatus having at least one fastening device. The fastening device having a locking lever locking the antenna apparatus to the vehicle roof in a predetermined locking position of the locking lever and thereby fixing the antenna apparatus on the vehicle roof in a predetermined final assembly position. The fastening device having a spring device which acts on the locking lever with a restoring force acting in the direction of the predetermined locking position of the locking lever and holding the locking lever in the predetermined locking position. The spring device engaging around the vehicle roof in the predetermined final assembly position with a latching edge on an edge of the antenna opening and holding the antenna apparatus at least indirectly on the vehicle roof.

Vehicle comprising an antenna apparatus, and antenna apparatus and fastening device

The present disclosure relates to an antenna module for installing at an opening of a vehicle roof, wherein the antenna module can be arranged at the opening and can be latched there via at least one spring element, wherein the fastening of the antenna module can be secured to the vehicle roof via a locking element which, in its locking position, blocks a resilient backward movement of the spring element out of the latched position.

Antenna module

An improved rooftop antenna is characterized, inter alia, by the following features: the base () has a protruding base foot part () on the base lower side () of said base; the base foot part () is formed integrally with the remaining part of the base () or connected thereto and is electrically conductive or coated, together with the base (), with an electrically conductive layer; the base foot part () has a channel (), which passes through the foot part () transversely and preferably perpendicular to the base () in a plug-in and joining direction (Z) for accommodating the at least one coaxial line (); and the coaxial line () is inserted into the at least one channel () of the base foot part () in such a way that at least one section of the outer circumference of the outer conductor () of the coaxial line () is pressed mechanically with the electrically conductive inner wall of the channel () of the base foot part () and DC contact is thereby made therewith.

Rooftop antenna, in particular motor vehicle rooftop antenna with associated plug-type connection device

A multiband shark fin antenna for a vehicle may include at least one transmitting and one receiving antenna element from the group consisting of AM/FM antennas, telephone and RKE antennas, GPS antenna, SDARS antenna, stacked patch antenna, DAP antenna, WLAN antenna, WIMAX antenna or DRM antenna. The antenna elements are disposed beneath a joint shark fin-shaped outer cover on the exterior of the vehicle. On the inside, the shark fin-shaped outer cover includes an antenna circuit board having the antenna elements disposed thereon. Electronic adjustment or amplifier circuits including a transceiver, tuner or receiver are disposed on both the upper and lower faces of the antenna circuit board. Shielding plates, which shield the adjustment or amplifier circuits with respect to the antenna elements, are disposed on the upper side of the antenna circuit board.
