Abstract
This invention concerns an antenna switchable between the VHF and UHF frequency bands. This antenna incorporates a capacitive element, disposed at a specified distance from a reflecting surface mounted on the body of the vehicle. For VHF, tuning is obtained by a fixed self-inductance in parallel and a variable self-inductance in series with the capacitive element. The latter comprises various sections which can be short-circuited by switches. For UHF, the variable self-inductance is totally short-circuited and the fixed self-inductance is disconnected by a switch; then, plates form, with the reflecting surface and the capacitative element, a 'manchette' antenna. This switchable antenna can in particular be mounted on an airplane.
