AUTOMOTIVE ANTENNA SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention provides a diversity reception type automotive antenna system comprising a pole type antenna as a main antenna and a high-frequency pickup as a sub-antenna, the high-frequency pickup being mounted on a connection between each adjacent vehicle portions and functioning to detect surface high-frequency currents induced on the vehicle body by radio or other waves and flowing on the connection. The high-frequency pickup can readily be installed on the vehicle body without any externally projecting portion which would otherwise damage the design of the vehicle body.
