Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0459391A2] An antenna (10) for portable radio equipment serves as a lambda /2 wavelength long antenna when extended (Fig.1A) or as a less than lambda /4 wavelength long antenna such as a lambda /8 wavelength long antenna when contracted (Fig.1B). Both of such antenna configurations are matched by a single matching circuit (14) with respect to impedance. The antenna radiates power efficiently in the horizontal plane. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
