Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'antenne de radiocommunications caché pour véhicule, qui comprend une fente ou une encoche dans un panneau conducteur du véhicule faisant partie de la structure du véhicule ou destiné à y être intégré, sur le véhicule utilisant le système de radiocommunications. Pour produire le rayonnement à polarisation verticale, on place l'antenne avec la fente ou l'encoche en position horizontale, et pour que l'antenne fonctionne sur une ligne d'alimentation non résonnante adaptée à l'impédance de l'antenne, on relie un câble coaxial aux bordures de la fente par des conducteurs isolés couplés au champ magnétique dans une partie de ladite fente. On peut aussi placer un conducteur non magnétique qui occupe une partie de la fente et qui est isolé par rapport à cette fente.
