Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a hybrid antenna structure that comprises at least one electrically insulating substrate, at least one electrically conductive coating that covers at least one surface of the substrate at least section-wise and serves as a planar antenna for reception of electromagnetic waves, as well as at least one coupling electrode electrically coupled to the conductive coating for coupling out of antenna signals from the planar antenna. It is essential here that the coupling electrode be electrically coupled to an unshielded, linear antenna conductor that serves as a linear antenna for reception of electromagnetic waves, with the antenna conductor situated outside an area that can be projected by orthogonal parallel projection onto the planar antenna serving as a projection area, by which means an antenna foot point of the linear antenna becomes a common antenna foot point of the linear and planar antenna. The invention further relates to a method for producing such a hybrid antenna structure.
