Abstract
Radio communication systems, e.g. cellular telephones, have employed a space diversity antenna system which includes a plurality of antennas. In the space diversity antenna system for use in the cellular telephone, since two antennas are positioned adjoining each other, the space diversity effect cannot be adequately provided. To solve this problem, the polarization diversity antenna system according to this invention incorporates a first antenna, a second antenna, and a conductive board on which the second antenna is fixed at a given position, thus preventing the current flowing in the conductive board from causing the reception characteristic of the second antenna to deteriorate.
