Abstract

An antenna installation for radio and television reception in motor vehicles in the meter and decimeter frequency wave ranges with a first antenna and-at least one additional antenna on the vehicle. The receiving signal available at each connection point of the antennas are combined in a collecting network. The signal then flows out of the collecting network to a reception point to form an overall receiving signal. The line and collecting network is designed to select the highest possible reception quality for a motor vehicle moving through a reception field based upon a statistical average.
