The present invention relates to a system for the wireless coupling of a cellular radio end device to at least one first external antenna, in particular for coupling to an external vehicle antenna, having a coupling structure for the wireless coupling to an antenna structure of the cellular radio end device, wherein the coupling structure has at least two connections; and having a connection unit that connects the first external antenna to one of the at least two connections of the coupling structure in dependence on the coupling quality, wherein the connection unit evaluates the coupling quality between the antenna structure of the cellular radio end device and the at least two connections of the coupling structure during the normal communication operation of the cellular radio end device and/or continuously and/or for both connections simultaneously.

The present invention relates to a compensator for the compensation of line losses and/or coupling losses on the connection of a cellular radio end device to an external antenna structure, in particular to an external vehicle antenna structure, wherein the compensator has a first signal path for connecting the cellular radio end device to a first external antenna of the external antenna structure, with the compensator having a second signal path for connecting the cellular radio end device to a second external antenna of the external antenna structure.

Compensator

An antenna system for motor vehicles includes a surface that comprises an electrically conductive medium. A recess is located inside the electrically conductive surface, with the electrically conductive surface being a periphery of the recess. At least one electrically conductive crosspiece is electrically conductively connected to the periphery and protrudes into the recess and extends in the direction of a second side, facing the first side, of the periphery and there ends, forming a gap with the periphery. This crosspiece divides the recess into first and second parts with a gap connecting the two parts. At least one electrical line in a part of the recess originates at a feed point, located on the crosspiece but is electrically separate from it. The electrical line extends in the part of the recess in the direction of the periphery and is capacitively coupled to the periphery.

An improved RFID antenna system using a first RFID antenna device (in the form of a magnetic antenna ()) and using a second RFID antenna device () using a flat antenna is distinguished by the following features: the second RFID antenna device comprises one flat antenna () or a group antenna with at least two flat antennas (), and the metal plane of the flat antenna () and/or the earth or reflector plane () is divided into metal, earth or reflector plane sections () by slots, interruptions and or recesses (), wherein the metal, earth or reflector sections () are electrically conductively separated from one another or are electrically conductively connected to one another.

RFID-antenna system

An improved magnetically coupling near-field RFID antenna is embodied as a magnetic H-field coupler, and the near-field RFID antenna is embodied as a looped and/or frame-shaped antenna. The looped and/or frame-shaped antenna comprises a looped or frame-shaped strip conductor. The strip conductor is arranged set apart from a ground surface parallel thereto. A dielectric is interposed. The start and the end of the strip conductor end close to each other forms a gap or spacing. The start of the strip conductor is fed to ground. The end of the strip conductor is terminated by a terminating resistor. The terminating resistor is connected between the end of the strip conductor and a ground surface.

An improved beam shaping means for an external and/or roof antenna has a parasitic beam shaping means configured at a distance below the upper or outer surface of the electrically non-conductive region of the vehicle structure. The parasitic beam shaping means is configured, provided or attached in the material of the electrically non-conductive region of the vehicle structure or at the underside or inside of the electrically non-conductive region of the vehicle structure. The parasitic beam shaping means is arranged and/or configured in such a way that it, viewed from above, protrudes laterally beyond, at least in certain portions. The antenna mounting region or portion and/or an optionally provided counterweight surface and/or is arranged laterally thereto.
