Abstract

An antenna for an automotive keyless entry system can ensure radio-wave transmission between a transmitter and a controller and can be conveniently mounted on a vehicle body. The antenna for an automotive keyless entry system, has a first planar antenna loop, and a second antenna loop disposed within the first antenna loop and lying in the plane thereof. The axis of the second antenna loop is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the first antenna loop. The first and second antenna loops form an antenna assembly which can be conveniently mounted on the vehicle body as, for example, within a door mirror of the vehicle.
