ABSTRACT:
An active antenna for the reception of long-, medium-, short-and ultra-short wave broadcasts is arranged in a rear window of a motor vehicle equipped with a boundary conductor enclosing an array of heating elements. The reception of long-, medium- and short-wave signals is made by means of an elongated flat antenna element which is arranged in the window on a free area above or below the heating elements, and the reception of the ultra-short wave signals is effected by the array of heating elements. An antenna amplifier includes a linear amplifying stage connected to the flat antenna element, an amplifying branch circuit connected to the array of heating elements and a common ground terminal connected to the boundary conductor. A frequency separator has two inputs connected, respectively, to the output of the amplifying stage and of the branch circuit, and an output connected via an antenna cable to a conventional radio receiver.
