Abstract
A tri-band antenna () is provided having a pair of antenna elements (), in which the first antenna element () operates in a first UHF frequency band, and the second antenna element () operates in a second VHF band and a third cellular frequency band. The bottom end () of each of the antenna elements () is fixed into a first member () from which the antenna elements extend parallel and spaced apart from each other to their different respective heights. A second member () couples the antenna elements () to each other at a distance from the first member () to adjust the operation of the tri-band antenna () in at least the UHF band. A base member () is provided for mounting the tri-band antenna () along a surface of a vehicle. A signal feed member () extends through the base member () and has one end () attached to the first member () and another end (b) providing a RF connector. The signal feed member () provides the antenna elements (), via the first member (), with a common signal path for transmission and reception of RF signals in all three bands.
