The invention relates to an active reception antenna comprised of a passive antenna component with a frequency-dependent effective length le. The output connections of this passive component are connected to the input connections of an amplifier circuit. The amplifier circuit consists of a field effect transistor and a low-loss filter circuit with an input admittance. The low-loss filter circuit is connected on its input to the source connection of the field effect transistor. On its output, the high-frequency reception signal is de-coupled, and the low-loss filter circuit is loaded with an effective resistance or conductance acting on its output. The blind or dummy elements of the low-loss filter circuit are selected so that the frequency dependence of the real component G of the input admittance acting on the input of the low-loss filter circuit is adjusted so that with the specified reception capacity, the frequency curve conditioned by the frequency-dependent effective length le of the passive antenna component is realized within a broad frequency band under freely selected aspects. The amount of input admittance effectively acting on the input of the low-loss filter circuit is adequately low outside of the frequency band so as to avoid non-linear effects in the blocked frequency range.
