Abstract
A broadcast coupler which couples both a broadcast radio receiver and communications equipment in a vehicle to the existing OEM vehicle antenna wherein no physical modifications are made to either the antenna mast or the antenna base or the antenna feed line. The broadcast coupler has a built-in tuner capability which permits the existing OEM supplied antenna to function as a low standing wave ratio (SAR) communications antenna. The broadcast coupler tunes the existing OEM antenna and provides the necessary isolation to permit the communications equipment, i.e., transmitter, receiver or transceiver, to function without detection by the operator of the vehicle. Since the existing OEM antenna is tuned by the broadcast coupler, the vehicle does not have to be modified and a new antenna does not have to be purchased.
