Abstract
vehicle antenna (1) comprising a satellite signal amplifier and/or receiver circuit (2) assembled on a board (6), an antenna base (3) for support of said board (6), applicable to the structure of a vehicle (A), connection means (7) to mechanically fix said board (6) to said antenna base (3), a coaxial cable (8) that connects the satellite signal amplifier and/or receiver circuit (2) to a receiving apparatus installed in the vehicle (A). Between the antenna base (3) and the board (6) electro-conductive elastic means (13) are interposed to achieve electricity continuity between the antenna base (3) and the metallic braiding (8b) of the coaxial cable (8) when the connection means (7) fix the board (6) to the antenna base (3).
Claims16
Vehicular antenna comprising:
- at least one satellite signal amplifier and/or receiver circuit assembled on a board provided with at least one earth plane;
- an antenna base for the support of said board, applicable to the structure of a vehicle;
- connection means suitable for mechanically fixing said board to said antenna base and for achieving electricity continuity between said antenna base and said at least one earth plane of said board;
- a coaxial cable that connects said satellite signal amplifier and/or receiver circuit to a receiving apparatus installed in said vehicle,
- wherein it comprises electro-conductive elastic means interposed between said antenna base and said board, suited to constitute a barrier to prevent the interference of the telephone communication signal with the satellite communication signal and to achieve electricity continuity between said antenna base and the metallic braiding of said coaxial cable when said connection means fix said board to said antenna base.
