A unitary, multiband and dual polarity mobile antenna (A) is disclosed for vehicles and the like which includes a television antenna (B) having a horizontally polarized radiation pattern and a 2-way communications antenna (C) having a vertically polarized radiation pattern. A null current point (50) is created on communications antenna (C) by a phasing coil (34) which is intersected by a horizontal plane (52) in which television antenna (B) lies. This reduces cross-coupling, cross-polarization, and interference between the two antenna during operation. Horizontal television antenna (B) includes a J-folded, generally boomerang shaped, curved antenna configured to have a radiating element (20) and a half radiating element (22). These elements together form a third radiating element providing operation at three resonant frequencies.
