Problems solved by technology

Hence, increased cost and complexity, and less flexibility in RV configuration
Adding antennas for other types of broadcast signals can exacerbate these shortcomings
It is also difficult to carry or move multiple individual antennas from one location to another

Embodiment Construction

[0023] In the following, the invention will be explained with reference to various exemplary embodiments; however, these examples are not intended to limit the invention to any particular example, environment, application or particular implementation described therein. Therefore, the descriptions of these exemplary embodiments are only intended to explain rather than limit the present invention.

[0024] see Figure 1 to Figure 6 , where a closed multiple antenna system 100 is shown. Satellite television antenna assembly 102 , off-air television antenna assembly 104 , and control electronics 106 to control operation of the system are disposed on a turntable 108 within housing 110 . The antenna assemblies 102 and 104 remain in the housing 110 in a fully deployed state, thereby eliminating the need for physical assembly or deployment of the antenna assemblies prior to use, or folding or retracting of the antenna assemblies after use or for transport.

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to enclosed antenna systems for receiving multiple different broadcast types. In one aspect of the disclosure, the enclosed antenna system comprises an enclosure including a satellite television antenna assembly, an off-air television antenna assembly and control electronics disposed on a motorized turntable. In another aspect, the off-air television antenna assembly comprises both UHF and VHF antenna assemblies. In a further aspect, the UHF and VHF television signals received by the off-air antenna assembly are combined, amplified and diplexed with the television signal received by the satellite television antenna assembly. A method of watching television broadcasts from satellite and off-air sources using a multi-antenna system contained within a single enclosure is also disclosed.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 230,694, filed August 1, 2009, and U.S. Patent Application No. 12 / 845,488, filed July 28, 2010 , which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to mobile motorized antenna systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to a housing with multiple antennas inside, and the multiple antennas are respectively used to receive broadcast signals corresponding to different broadcast types. Background technique [0004] There are many different types of signals that are broadcast or transmitted to convey media, data or information. Common examples include: television, radio, wireless networks, and mobile phones. Some of these example broadcast signal types may be transmitted in a number of different ways or methods. For example, television and radio signals may be transmitted via transmitters on ...
