A multiband antenna for transmitting and receiving a range of frequencies substantially between 150 MHz and 6 GHz of the type having: a base plate-like conductive element connected to a connected-mass conductive surface; a first radiant element configured to transmit and receive in a frequency range substantially between 698 MHz and 6 GHz; a second radiant element connected&#x2014;at the upper part&#x2014;to said first radiant element and configured so as to collaborate with the first radiant element to transmit and receive in a frequency range substantially between 400 MHz and 500 MHz; a radiant unit configured to transmit and receive in the frequency range substantially between 216 MHz and 223 MHz and in the frequency range substantially between 159 MHz and 163 MHz; an electrical connector with an external device, mechanically and electrically connected to the vertex of the first radiant element.

Multiband antenna for use in vehicles

A stepper actuator including a brake drum and a central gear mechanically connected thereto. The brake drum and the central gear are selectively rotatable in opposing first and second rotational directions. First and second actuation members are moveable through first and second actuation cycles to incrementally rotate the central gear. The actuation members engage and subsequently disengage the central gear as they move through their actuation cycles. The actuation members are configured to rotate the central gear during engagement therewith. A braking assembly is operatively connected to the first and second actuation members and is frictionally engaged to the brake drum to prevent rotation of the brake drum when the first and second actuation members are each in a retracted position as occurs when neither is moving through a corresponding actuation cycle. The braking assembly disengages the brake drum when one of the actuation members is moved from its retracted position and into its actuation cycle as facilitates the incremental rotation of the central gear.
