Abstract

An antenna-integrated strip line cable with which it is possible to improve the performance of a high-frequency appliance such as a portable telephone without making the appliance larger. An antenna-integrated strip line cable 1 is made up of a transmission line part 2, an antenna part 3 and a counterpoise 4. The transmission line part 2 is made up of two conductors 21, 22 disposed in parallel, insulators 23, 24 having plasticity or flexibility disposed between these two conductors 21, 22, and a central conductor 25 disposed between the insulators 23, 24 centrally in the width direction thereof. Wide-pattern impedance matching circuits 26a, 26b are provided in the central conductor 25. The antenna part 3 has portions of the insulator 24 and the central conductor 25 extending from the transmission line part 2. The counterpoise 4 has portions of the insulator 23 and the conductor 21 extending from the transmission line part 2. The counterpoise 4 is perpendicular to the antenna part 3 and the length of the counterpoise 4 is about one-fourth of the wavelength .lambda. of the frequency used. Some benefits of this novel construction are that the number of parts is reduced, the work of co…
