Abstract
An antenna system for a radio communication device, in particular a hand-portable telephone, having communication circuits and to be operating by circularly-polarized radio waves. In the system (1) there is provided a radiation means, preferably helical elements (2, 3, 4), a feeding network (8) having first coupling means (9) adapted for coupling to said communication circuits and second coupling means coupled to said helical elements (2, 3, 4). The interface means includes a closed resonator means (14), which has at least a first portion associated with said first coupling means (9), and having separated at least second (11), third (12) and fourth (13) portions forming said second coupling means (11, 12, 13).
