Abstract
The invention relates to an improved antenna for DVB-T reception which is characterized in that the antenna consists of a plate-shaped flat antenna.
Claims9
An antenna for DVB-T reception, comprising:
- an isolating mount having at least one surface or face provided with a metallization layer,
- said layer providing a substantially rectangular flat antenna in the form of a plate,
- a plug arrangement provided on the isolating mount in electrical contact with the metallization layer, the plug arrangement making electrical contact with the flat antenna and mechanically anchoring the flat antenna to a receiver,
- first and second coupling sections positioned offset with respect to a vertical axis or plane of symmetry of the rectangular flat antenna, whereby the overall length or height of the antenna and by that the size of the antenna area is enlarged,
- a non-conductive region being disposed on the isolating mount between the coupling sections, the plug arrangement being provided in the non-conductive region on the isolating mount provided between the coupling sections.

A DVB-T antenna system comprising:
- a non-conductive mount having a conductive layer disposed thereon, said conductive layer providing a substantially rectangular, planar RF antenna surface, said antenna surface defining an axis of symmetry, a non-conductive isolating region being formed in the conductive layer;
- first and second coupling sections disposed on the mount in an offset manner with respect to said axis of symmetry to thereby enlarge the effective size of said antenna surface;
- and
- a plug arrangement disposed in the non-conductive isolating region for electrically and mechanically coupling a receiver to said antenna surface.
