 ところで、近年、小型電子機器の高速通信化に伴ってWiMAX(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)等の様にOFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)等の周波数多重方式を用いた通信技術が用いられている。このような通信技術においては、100kHzから12GHzの周波数の信号がアンテナにより送受信されるようになっている。このようにアンテナが送受信する周波数の帯域が広くなると、周波数の高い領域において、配線基板の導線路や、同軸ケーブルにおいてインピーダンスの不整合が生じ易くなる。このインピーダンスの不整合が生じると、定在波が目立つようになり、高周波領域での通信が阻害され、電子機器の高速通信を阻害する場合がある。このようなインピーダンスの整合性を示す一つの指標としてVSWR(Voltage Standing Wave Ratio:電圧定在波比)がある。そして、一般的にVSWRが1.60以下であることが、アンテナで高速通信を行うための目安の一つとされる。 By the way, in recent years, communication technology using frequency multiplexing schemes such as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Division Multiplexing) such as WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) has been used as high-speed communication of small electronic devices. In such a communication technique, a signal having a frequency of 100 kHz to 12 GHz is transmitted and received by an antenna. When the frequency band transmitted and received by the antenna becomes wider in this way, impedance mismatching tends to occur in the conductive line of the wiring board and the coaxial cable in the high frequency region. When this impedance mismatch occurs, standing waves become conspicuous, communication in the high frequency region is hindered, and high-speed communication of the electronic device may be hindered. One index indicating the impedance matching is VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio). In general, a VSWR of 1.60 or less is one of the guidelines for performing high-speed communication with an antenna.
 しかし、配線基板の導線路のインピーダンスと、同軸ケーブルのインピーダンスとを整合させても、配線基板の端子に接続される同軸ケーブルの端部においては、一部が絶縁層により被覆された中心導体が、外部導体の端部から導出している。このような外部導体から導出している中心導体は、中心導体が外部導体によりシールドされていないため、インピーダンス不整合が生じる傾向にある。上記特許文献1の同軸ケーブルにおいても、同軸ケーブルの端部において、VSWRが1.60より大きくなる場合があり、このような場合には、良好な高速通信が阻害される虞がある。 However, even if the impedance of the conductive line of the wiring board and the impedance of the coaxial cable are matched, at the end of the coaxial cable connected to the terminal of the wiring board, the central conductor partially covered with the insulating layer is Derived from the end of the outer conductor. The center conductor derived from such an external conductor tends to cause impedance mismatch because the center conductor is not shielded by the external conductor. Even in the coaxial cable of Patent Document 1, the VSWR may be larger than 1.60 at the end of the coaxial cable. In such a case, there is a possibility that good high-speed communication may be hindered.
 そこで、本発明は、良好な高速通信が可能なアンテナシステムを実現できるケーブルアセンブリ、及び、それを用いたアンテナシステムを提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cable assembly that can realize an antenna system capable of good high-speed communication, and an antenna system using the cable assembly.
 本発明者は、上記課題を解決するために、基板の導線路と同軸ケーブルとが接続される部分において、インピーダンス不整合が生じないように鋭意研究を行った。中心導体が外部導体により覆われている部分においては、インピーダンスが整合されており、また、中心導体が信号端子に接続されてからは、信号端子のインピーダンスが支配的になる。従って、中心導体が外部導体の端部から導出してから信号端子に接続されるまでの長さを短くすれば、インピーダンス不整合が生じづらくなり、上記課題は解決できると考えた。そこで、信号端子とグランド端子とを有するコネクタ、及び、口出しされた同軸ケーブルを用意して、外部導体とコネクタのグランド端子とを接続し、中心導体とコネクタの信号端子とを接続して、ケーブルアセンブリを作製した。このとき、外部導体の端部から中心導体が信号端子に接続されるまで距離を短くすることにより、インピーダンスの不整合の問題は解決すると思われた。しかし、特定の周波数においては、外部導体の端部から中心導体が信号端子に接続されるまで距離を短くすると、却ってインピーダンス不整合が生じることが明らかになった。そこで、本発明者は、さらに鋭意研究を重ねて、本発明をするに至った。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor has conducted intensive research so that impedance mismatch does not occur in a portion where the conductive line of the substrate and the coaxial cable are connected. In the portion where the center conductor is covered with the outer conductor, the impedance is matched, and after the center conductor is connected to the signal terminal, the impedance of the signal terminal becomes dominant. Therefore, if the length from when the center conductor is led out from the end of the outer conductor to when it is connected to the signal terminal is shortened, impedance mismatching is less likely to occur, and the above problem can be solved. Therefore, a connector having a signal terminal and a ground terminal, and a leaded coaxial cable are prepared, the external conductor is connected to the ground terminal of the connector, the center conductor is connected to the signal terminal of the connector, and the cable is connected. An assembly was made. At this time, it was thought that the problem of impedance mismatch was solved by shortening the distance from the end of the outer conductor until the central conductor was connected to the signal terminal. However, it has been clarified that, at a specific frequency, when the distance is shortened from the end of the outer conductor until the center conductor is connected to the signal terminal, impedance mismatch occurs. Therefore, the present inventor has conducted further research and has come to make the present invention.
 すなわち、本発明の同軸ケーブルは、中心導体と、前記中心導体の外周を被覆する絶縁層と、前記絶縁層の外周を被覆する外部導体と、前記外部導体を被覆するシースとを有し、100kHz以上12GHz以下の周波数においてインピーダンスが50Ωの同軸ケーブルと、信号端子とグランド端子とを有し、100kHz以上12GHz以下の周波数においてインピーダンスが50Ωのコネクタと、を備え、前記同軸ケーブルの端部において、前記外部導体は、前記シースから露出して前記グランド端子と電気的に接続され、前記中心導体は、前記外部導体の端部から導出すると共に、少なくとも一部が露出して前記信号端子と接続され、前記外部導体の端部から前記中心導体が前記信号端子に接続されるまで距離が、0.40mm以上0.85mm以下とされることを特徴とするものである。 That is, the coaxial cable of the present invention includes a center conductor, an insulating layer that covers the outer periphery of the center conductor, an outer conductor that covers the outer periphery of the insulating layer, and a sheath that covers the outer conductor. A coaxial cable having an impedance of 50Ω at a frequency of 12 GHz or less, a signal terminal and a ground terminal, and a connector having an impedance of 50Ω at a frequency of 100 kHz or more and 12 GHz or less, and at the end of the coaxial cable, The outer conductor is exposed from the sheath and electrically connected to the ground terminal, the center conductor is led out from an end of the outer conductor, and at least a part is exposed and connected to the signal terminal, The distance from the end of the outer conductor to the center terminal being connected to the signal terminal is 0.40 mm or more and 0 .85 mm or less.
 このようなケーブルアセンブリによれば、同軸ケーブル、及び、コネクタにおいては、100kHz以上12GHz以下の周波数においてインピーダンスが共に50Ωとされ、インピーダンス整合がされている。また、100kHz以上12GHz以下の周波数の信号がコネクタの信号端子に印加される場合において、外部導体の端部から中心導体が信号端子に接続されるまで距離が、0.40mm以上0.85mm以下とされるため、同軸ケーブルの端部におけるVSWRを1.60以下にすることができる。上述のように高速通信に用いられるアンテナ用の線路として、このようなVSWRが1.60以下であることが求められる。従って、このようなケーブルアセンブリにおいては、高速通信を行う場合におけるインピーダンス不整合による定在波を十分なレベルに抑制することができる。従って、このようなケーブルアセンブリを用いることにより、良好な高速通信が可能なアンテナシステムを実現することができる。 According to such a cable assembly, the coaxial cable and the connector are both impedance-matched at a frequency of 100 kHz to 12 GHz and impedance matching is achieved. When a signal having a frequency of 100 kHz to 12 GHz is applied to the signal terminal of the connector, the distance from the end of the external conductor to the center conductor is connected to the signal terminal is 0.40 mm to 0.85 mm. Therefore, the VSWR at the end of the coaxial cable can be made 1.60 or less. As described above, such a VSWR is required to be 1.60 or less as an antenna line used for high-speed communication. Therefore, in such a cable assembly, a standing wave due to impedance mismatch when performing high-speed communication can be suppressed to a sufficient level. Therefore, by using such a cable assembly, an antenna system capable of good high-speed communication can be realized.
 また、上記ケーブルアセンブリにおいて、前記絶縁層は、前記外部導体の端部から露出しており、前記中心導体が前記外部導体の端部から導出している部分における前記外部導体側の一部は、前記絶縁層で被覆されていることが好ましい。 Further, in the cable assembly, the insulating layer is exposed from an end portion of the outer conductor, and a part of the outer conductor side in a portion where the center conductor is led out from the end portion of the outer conductor is It is preferable that it is covered with the insulating layer.
 このようなケーブルアセンブリによれば、外部導体の端部から中心導体が露出している部分の間において、絶縁層が中心導体を被覆しているため、外部導体と中心導体との短絡を防止することができる。 According to such a cable assembly, since the insulating layer covers the central conductor between the portion where the central conductor is exposed from the end of the external conductor, a short circuit between the external conductor and the central conductor is prevented. be able to.
 また、上記ケーブルアセンブリにおいて、前記外部導体は、金属編組と、前記金属編組の隙間を埋める金属とから構成されることが好ましい。 In the cable assembly, it is preferable that the outer conductor is composed of a metal braid and a metal that fills a gap between the metal braids.

Can be made.
 また、本発明のアンテナシステムは、上記のケーブルアセンブリと、前記信号端子と電気的に接続されるインピーダンスが50Ωの導線路と、前記グランド端子と電気的に接続されるグランド体とを有する配線基板と、100kHz以上12GHz以下の周波数で通信を行い、前記導線路と電気的に接続されるアンテナと、を備えることを特徴とするものである。 Further, an antenna system of the present invention is a wiring board having the above cable assembly, a conductive line having an impedance of 50Ω electrically connected to the signal terminal, and a ground body electrically connected to the ground terminal. And an antenna that performs communication at a frequency of 100 kHz to 12 GHz and is electrically connected to the conductive line.
 このようなアンテナシステムによれば、同軸ケーブル及び導線路のインピーダンスが共に50Ωとされ、さらに同軸ケーブルの端部におけるVSWRを1.60以下にすることができるので、全体的にインピーダンスの不整合による定在波が抑制でき、良好な高速通信を行うことができる。 According to such an antenna system, the impedance of the coaxial cable and the conductive line is both 50Ω, and further, the VSWR at the end of the coaxial cable can be 1.60 or less.

 以下、本発明に係る同軸ケーブルの好適な実施形態について図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the coaxial cable according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
 図1は、本発明の実施形態に係るケーブルアセンブリを示す図である。図1に示すように、ケーブルアセンブリ1は、同軸ケーブル10、及び、コネクタ20を備える。 FIG. 1 is a view showing a cable assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the cable assembly 1 includes a coaxial cable 10 and a connector 20.
 同軸ケーブル10は、中心導体11と、中心導体11の外周を被覆する絶縁層12と、絶縁層12の外周を被覆する外部導体13と、外部導体13を被覆するシース14とを有する。 The coaxial cable 10 includes a center conductor 11, an insulating layer 12 that covers the outer periphery of the center conductor 11, an outer conductor 13 that covers the outer periphery of the insulating layer 12, and a sheath 14 that covers the outer conductor 13.
 中心導体11は、複数の導電性の線材の撚り線から構成される。中心導体11の直径は、特に制限されるものではないが、0.075mm~0.15mmであることが、省スペース化に寄与しつつ、VSWRを低く抑える観点から好ましい。なお、中心導体11の材料としては、導体であれば特に制限されないが、例えば、銅やニッケル等が挙げられる。 The center conductor 11 is composed of a plurality of conductive wire strands. The diameter of the center conductor 11 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.075 mm to 0.15 mm from the viewpoint of keeping VSWR low while contributing to space saving. The material of the center conductor 11 is not particularly limited as long as it is a conductor, and examples thereof include copper and nickel.
 中心導体11を被覆する絶縁層12は、絶縁性の樹脂から形成されている。絶縁層12の外径は、特に制限されるものではないが、0.165mm~0.4mmであることが、上述の中心導体11の好ましい直径の理由と同様に、省スペース化に寄与しつつ、VSWRを低く抑える観点から好ましい。なお、絶縁層12の材料としては、絶縁性の樹脂であれば特に制限がないが、例えば、ポリオレフィン系樹脂が挙げられ、ポリオレフィン系樹脂としては、エチレンプロピレン共重合体系樹脂、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレン、又は、これらの混合物などが挙げられる。 The insulating layer 12 covering the central conductor 11 is made of an insulating resin. The outer diameter of the insulating layer 12 is not particularly limited, but being 0.165 mm to 0.4 mm contributes to space saving as well as the reason for the preferable diameter of the central conductor 11 described above. From the viewpoint of keeping VSWR low. The material of the insulating layer 12 is not particularly limited as long as it is an insulating resin, and examples thereof include polyolefin resins. Examples of polyolefin resins include ethylene propylene copolymer resins, polypropylene, polyethylene, or And a mixture thereof.
 絶縁層12を被覆する外部導体13は、金属編組から構成される。金属編組は、例えば、直径が0.1mm以下の多数の金属の線材が編みこまれたものである。なお、外部導体13は、金属により金属編組の線材の隙間が埋められていることが好ましい。すなわち同軸ケーブル10は、いわゆるセミフレキシブル同軸ケーブルであることが好ましい。このように構成することで、金属編組の複数の線材が、金属編組の隙間を埋める金属により一体とされるため、外部導体13を露出させるときに、外部導体13がバラバラにならず作業性を向上させることができる。この金属編組の隙間を埋める金属としては、例えば、スズ、はんだ等が挙げられる。そして、金属編組の隙間を埋める金属は、例えばめっき加工により金属編組の線材を被覆することで、金属編組の隙間を埋めている。外部導体の外径は、特に制限されるものではないが、例えば、上述のように中心導体11の直径が0.075mm~0.15mmである場合には、0.29mm~0.83mmとされる。 The outer conductor 13 covering the insulating layer 12 is composed of a metal braid. The metal braid is, for example, one in which a large number of metal wires having a diameter of 0.1 mm or less are knitted. In addition, it is preferable that the outer conductor 13 has a gap between the metal braided wires filled with metal. That is, the coaxial cable 10 is preferably a so-called semi-flexible coaxial cable. With this configuration, the plurality of wires of the metal braid are integrated with the metal that fills the gaps in the metal braid, so that when the external conductor 13 is exposed, the external conductor 13 does not fall apart and the workability is improved. Can be improved. Examples of the metal that fills the gap in the metal braid include tin and solder. And the metal which fills the clearance gap of a metal braid is filling the clearance gap of a metal braid by coat | covering the wire of a metal braid by plating, for example. The outer diameter of the outer conductor is not particularly limited. For example, when the diameter of the center conductor 11 is 0.075 mm to 0.15 mm as described above, the outer diameter is set to 0.29 mm to 0.83 mm. The
 シース14は、熱可塑性樹脂により形成されている。このような熱可塑性樹脂としては、例えば、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)や、テトラフルオロエチレン-パーフルオロアルキルビニルエーテル共重合体(PTA)や、テトラフルオロエチレン-エチレン共重合体(ETFE)等のフッ素樹脂を挙げることができる。 The sheath 14 is formed of a thermoplastic resin. Examples of such thermoplastic resins include fluorine such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer (PTA), and tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer (ETFE). Resins can be mentioned.
 なお、このような構成の同軸ケーブル10は、少なくとも100kHzから12GHzにおいて、インピーダンスが50Ωとなるように調整されている。 The coaxial cable 10 having such a configuration is adjusted to have an impedance of 50Ω at least at 100 kHz to 12 GHz.
 そして、同軸ケーブル10は、端部において口出しがされている。この口出しにより、外部導体13がシース14から露出し、絶縁層12が外部導体13から露出し、中心導体11が絶縁層12から露出されている。このように絶縁層12が外部導体13から露出することにより、外部導体13の端部から中心導体11が導出している部分の外部導体側の一部が絶縁層12により被覆され、外部導体13と中心導体11との短絡を防止することができる。 And, the coaxial cable 10 is lead out at the end. By this lead-out, the outer conductor 13 is exposed from the sheath 14, the insulating layer 12 is exposed from the outer conductor 13, and the center conductor 11 is exposed from the insulating layer 12. As a result of the insulating layer 12 being exposed from the outer conductor 13 in this way, a portion of the outer conductor side of the portion where the central conductor 11 is led out from the end of the outer conductor 13 is covered with the insulating layer 12. And the center conductor 11 can be prevented from being short-circuited.
 コネクタ20は、グランド端子22と信号端子21とを有する。 The connector 20 has a ground terminal 22 and a signal terminal 21.
 このコネクタ20のグランド端子22は、開口22aが形成された金属の枠体から構成されており、グランド端子22の枠体の一部には開口22aと垂直な方向に孔22bが形成されている。 The ground terminal 22 of the connector 20 is composed of a metal frame having an opening 22a. A hole 22b is formed in a part of the frame of the ground terminal 22 in a direction perpendicular to the opening 22a. .
 また、グランド端子22を構成する枠体内には、信号端子21が、開口22aから一部が露出するようにして配置されている。この信号端子21には、グランド端子22の開口22aが向く方向に沿って孔21aが形成されている。また、信号端子21におけるグランド端子22の開口22a側と反対側には、同軸ケーブル10の中心導体11が、孔21aと略垂直な方向を向いて固定される固定手段21bが設けられている。 Further, the signal terminal 21 is disposed in the frame constituting the ground terminal 22 so that a part thereof is exposed from the opening 22a. A hole 21 a is formed in the signal terminal 21 along the direction in which the opening 22 a of the ground terminal 22 faces. Further, on the opposite side of the signal terminal 21 to the opening 22a side of the ground terminal 22, a fixing means 21b for fixing the central conductor 11 of the coaxial cable 10 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the hole 21a is provided.
 そして、このグランド端子22と信号端子21との間には、樹脂23が充填されており、この樹脂23により信号端子21とグランド端子22とが互いに絶縁されている。具体的には、信号端子21の孔21aが形成されている側と反対側は、樹脂23により被覆されている。そして、信号端子21の固定手段21bに同軸ケーブル10の中心導体11を固定するために、樹脂23には、中心導体11が挿入される孔23bが設けられている。この樹脂23に形成されている孔23bが、グランド端子22に形成された孔22bから露出するようにして、樹脂23の一部は、グランド端子22の孔22bから露出している。 A resin 23 is filled between the ground terminal 22 and the signal terminal 21, and the signal terminal 21 and the ground terminal 22 are insulated from each other by the resin 23. Specifically, the side opposite to the side where the hole 21 a of the signal terminal 21 is formed is covered with the resin 23. In order to fix the center conductor 11 of the coaxial cable 10 to the fixing means 21b of the signal terminal 21, the resin 23 is provided with a hole 23b into which the center conductor 11 is inserted. A part of the resin 23 is exposed from the hole 22 b of the ground terminal 22 so that the hole 23 b formed in the resin 23 is exposed from the hole 22 b formed in the ground terminal 22.
 また、信号端子21の孔21aが形成されている側において、樹脂23には孔23aが形成されており、信号端子21の一部が、この孔23a内に配置されて露出すると共に、信号端子21の一部と樹脂23とが離間している。 Further, on the side where the hole 21a of the signal terminal 21 is formed, a hole 23a is formed in the resin 23, and a part of the signal terminal 21 is arranged and exposed in the hole 23a, and the signal terminal A part of 21 and the resin 23 are separated.
 さらに、グランド端子22を形成する金属の枠体の一部は、グランド端子22の孔22bが向く方向に沿って延在しており、ケーブル固定部24が形成されている。従って、このケーブル固定部24は、グランド端子22と導通している。そして、ケーブル固定部24にはかしめ部26が形成されており、このかしめ部26は、同軸ケーブル10の外部導体13をかしめて、同軸ケーブル10とコネクタ20とを固定するように構成されている。 Furthermore, a part of the metal frame forming the ground terminal 22 extends along the direction in which the hole 22b of the ground terminal 22 faces, and the cable fixing portion 24 is formed. Accordingly, the cable fixing portion 24 is electrically connected to the ground terminal 22. A caulking portion 26 is formed in the cable fixing portion 24, and the caulking portion 26 is configured to caulk the outer conductor 13 of the coaxial cable 10 to fix the coaxial cable 10 and the connector 20. .
 なお、このような構成のコネクタ20は、少なくとも100kHzから12GHzにおいて、インピーダンスが50Ωとなるように調整されている。 The connector 20 having such a configuration is adjusted so that the impedance is 50Ω at least from 100 kHz to 12 GHz.
 そして、上述のように口出しされた同軸ケーブル10の端部において、シース14から露出した外部導体13は、かしめ部26によりかしめられ、さらに、外部導体13の端部から導出すると共に、少なくとも一部が露出した中心導体11は、樹脂23の孔23bを介して信号端子21の固定手段21bに固定される。こうして、外部導体13がグランド端子22と電気的に接続されると共に、中心導体11が信号端子21と接続され、ケーブルアセンブリ1とされる。このとき、ケーブルアセンブリ1においては、外部導体13の端部から中心導体11が信号端子21に接続されるまで距離Lが、0.40mm以上0.85mm以下とされている。 The outer conductor 13 exposed from the sheath 14 is caulked by the caulking portion 26 at the end portion of the coaxial cable 10 led out as described above, and is further led out from the end portion of the outer conductor 13 and at least a part thereof. The exposed central conductor 11 is fixed to the fixing means 21 b of the signal terminal 21 through the hole 23 b of the resin 23. In this way, the external conductor 13 is electrically connected to the ground terminal 22, and the central conductor 11 is connected to the signal terminal 21 to form the cable assembly 1. At this time, in the cable assembly 1, the distance L from the end of the external conductor 13 until the center conductor 11 is connected to the signal terminal 21 is 0.40 mm or more and 0.85 mm or less.

The above-described cable assembly 1 to which 20 is connected is provided as a main configuration.
 図2に示すように配線基板30は、平板状の基板31と、基板31の一方の面上に設けられたグランド用ランド34と、基板31の一方の面上に設けられた信号用ランド32と、基板31の一方の面上に設けられ信号用ランド32と接続されている導線路33と、基板31の他方の面上に設けられているグランド体としてのグランド層35と、グランド層35とグランド用ランド34とを電気的に接続する貫通導体36とを主な構成として備える。 As shown in FIG. 2, the wiring substrate 30 includes a flat substrate 31, a ground land 34 provided on one surface of the substrate 31, and a signal land 32 provided on one surface of the substrate 31. A conductive line 33 provided on one surface of the substrate 31 and connected to the signal land 32, a ground layer 35 as a ground body provided on the other surface of the substrate 31, and a ground layer 35 And a through conductor 36 that electrically connects the ground land 34 as a main component.

The conducting line 33 is a line whose impedance is adjusted to 50Ω at least from 100 kHz to 12 GHz.
 また、配線基板30上に実装されるアンテナ50は、導線路33と電気的に接続されている。本実施形態においては、アンテナ50は、基体51上に放射導体52及び給電線53が設けられた構成のいわゆるパッチアンテナとされる。このパッチアンテナの給電線53が、図示しないはんだにより導線路33と電気的に接続される。そして、給電線から100kHzから12GHzの信号が伝送されることにより、アンテナ50は、100kHzから12GHzの周波数帯域で通信を行う。 Further, the antenna 50 mounted on the wiring board 30 is electrically connected to the conductive line 33. In the present embodiment, the antenna 50 is a so-called patch antenna having a configuration in which a radiating conductor 52 and a feed line 53 are provided on a base 51. The feed line 53 of the patch antenna is electrically connected to the conductive line 33 by solder (not shown). And the antenna 50 communicates in the frequency band of 100 kHz to 12 GHz by transmitting a signal of 100 kHz to 12 GHz from the feeder line.
 また、配線基板30上に実装されているソケット40は、金属から成る枠体から構成されるグランド接続部42内に、信号接続部41が設けられており、グランド接続部42と信号接続部41とは、樹脂45により互いに絶縁されている。そして、グランド接続部42には、グランド用の端子44が接続されており、グランド用の端子44と、配線基板30のグランド用ランド34とが図示しないはんだにより電気的に接続されている。また、信号接続部41には、信号用の端子43が接続されており、信号用の端子43と、配線基板30の信号用ランド32とが図示しないはんだにより電気的に接続されている。 Further, the socket 40 mounted on the wiring board 30 is provided with a signal connection portion 41 in a ground connection portion 42 formed of a metal frame, and the ground connection portion 42 and the signal connection portion 41 are provided. Are insulated from each other by a resin 45. A ground terminal 44 is connected to the ground connection portion 42, and the ground terminal 44 and the ground land 34 of the wiring board 30 are electrically connected by solder (not shown). In addition, a signal terminal 43 is connected to the signal connection portion 41, and the signal terminal 43 and the signal land 32 of the wiring board 30 are electrically connected by solder (not shown).
 そして、コネクタ20のグランド端子22と、ソケット40のグランド接続部42とが嵌合するように、コネクタ20は、図2の矢印に示すように移動されてソケット40に固定される。このときコネクタ20のグランド端子22に形成された開口22aにソケット40のグランド接続部42が入り込んで、グランド端子22とグランド接続部42とが嵌合して、互いに導通する。従って、グランド端子22は、グランド層35と電気的に接続される。さらにコネクタ20の信号端子21に形成された孔21aにソケット40の信号接続部41が入り込んで、信号端子21と信号接続部41とが嵌合して、互いに導通する。従って、信号端子21と導線路33とが電気的に接続される。こうして、アンテナ50が実装された配線基板30上にケーブルアセンブリ1が実装されて、アンテナシステムとされる。 Then, the connector 20 is moved and fixed to the socket 40 as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2 so that the ground terminal 22 of the connector 20 and the ground connection portion 42 of the socket 40 are fitted. At this time, the ground connection portion 42 of the socket 40 enters the opening 22a formed in the ground terminal 22 of the connector 20, and the ground terminal 22 and the ground connection portion 42 are fitted to each other and are electrically connected. Accordingly, the ground terminal 22 is electrically connected to the ground layer 35. Further, the signal connection portion 41 of the socket 40 enters the hole 21a formed in the signal terminal 21 of the connector 20, and the signal terminal 21 and the signal connection portion 41 are fitted to each other and are electrically connected to each other. Therefore, the signal terminal 21 and the conductive line 33 are electrically connected. Thus, the cable assembly 1 is mounted on the wiring board 30 on which the antenna 50 is mounted, and an antenna system is obtained.
 そして、同軸ケーブル10の中心導体11に100kHzから12GHzの信号は伝送されると、配線基板30の導線路33を介して、アンテナ50により通信が行われる。 Then, when a signal of 100 kHz to 12 GHz is transmitted to the central conductor 11 of the coaxial cable 10, communication is performed by the antenna 50 through the conductive line 33 of the wiring board 30.
 次に、ケーブルアセンブリ1における、図1の外部導体の端部から中心導体が信号端子に接続されるまで距離Lと、同軸ケーブル10の端部におけるVSWRとの関係について説明する。図3は、図1のケーブルアセンブリ1により伝送される信号の周波数と、同軸ケーブル10の端部におけるVSWRとの関係を、外部導体13の端部から中心導体11が信号端子21に接続されるまで距離L毎に示す図である。具体的には、距離Lが、0.25mm、0.75mm、1.25mm、1.75mmであるそれぞれのケーブルアセンブリ1について、横軸を周波数として、縦軸をVSWRとして、周波数とVSWRとの関係を示している。 Next, the relationship between the distance L from the end of the outer conductor in FIG. 1 until the center conductor is connected to the signal terminal and the VSWR at the end of the coaxial cable 10 in the cable assembly 1 will be described. 3 shows the relationship between the frequency of the signal transmitted by the cable assembly 1 of FIG. 1 and the VSWR at the end of the coaxial cable 10, and the central conductor 11 is connected to the signal terminal 21 from the end of the external conductor 13. It is a figure shown for every distance L. Specifically, for each cable assembly 1 having a distance L of 0.25 mm, 0.75 mm, 1.25 mm, and 1.75 mm, the horizontal axis represents frequency, the vertical axis represents VSWR, and the frequency and VSWR Showing the relationship.
 ここで、絶縁層12が外部導体13から露出する長さを0mm、0.5mm、1.0mm、1.5mmと変化させて、絶縁層12から露出し信号端子21に接続されるまでの中心導体11の長さを0.25mmとすることで、上述のように距離Lを0.25mm、0.75mm、1.25mm、1.75mとした。また、外部導体13がシース14から露出する長さを2.09mmとし、絶縁層12から露出する中心導体11全体の長さを1.2mmとした。 Here, the length at which the insulating layer 12 is exposed from the outer conductor 13 is changed to 0 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.5 mm, and the center until the insulating layer 12 is exposed from the insulating layer 12 and connected to the signal terminal 21. By setting the length of the conductor 11 to 0.25 mm, the distance L was set to 0.25 mm, 0.75 mm, 1.25 mm, and 1.75 m as described above. The length of the external conductor 13 exposed from the sheath 14 was 2.09 mm, and the length of the entire central conductor 11 exposed from the insulating layer 12 was 1.2 mm.
 なお、外部導体13の端部から中心導体11が信号端子21に接続されるまで距離L以外はコネクタ20の設計に依存し、特に限定はされない。さらに外部導体13から露出する絶縁層12の長さは中心導体11と外部導体13とが短絡せず、中心導体11と信号端子21との接続に邪魔にならないかぎり特に制限されない。 In addition, it depends on the design of the connector 20 except for the distance L from the end of the external conductor 13 until the central conductor 11 is connected to the signal terminal 21, and is not particularly limited. Further, the length of the insulating layer 12 exposed from the external conductor 13 is not particularly limited as long as the central conductor 11 and the external conductor 13 are not short-circuited and do not obstruct the connection between the central conductor 11 and the signal terminal 21.
 図3から明らかなように、距離Lが1.75mmのケーブルアセンブリ1においては、周波数が約8.8GHz以上になるとVSWRが1.60よりも大きくなる場合がある。同様に、距離Lが1.25mmのケーブルアセンブリ1においては、周波数が、約8.9GHz以上になるとVSWRが1.60よりも大きくなる場合がある。さらに、距離Lが0.25mmのケーブルアセンブリ1においては、周波数が約7.4GHzから約7.6GHzにかけてVSWRが1.60よりも大きくなる。一方、距離Lが0.75mmのケーブルアセンブリ1においては、高速通信を行うために必要な周波数である100kHzから12GHzにおいて、VSWRが1.60を超えることがない。このようにケーブルアセンブリ1においては、距離Lが0.75mm付近である場合には、VSWRが良好な値を示すことが分かる。 As is apparent from FIG. 3, in the cable assembly 1 having the distance L of 1.75 mm, the VSWR may be larger than 1.60 when the frequency is about 8.8 GHz or more. Similarly, in the cable assembly 1 having the distance L of 1.25 mm, the VSWR may be larger than 1.60 when the frequency is about 8.9 GHz or more. Further, in the cable assembly 1 having a distance L of 0.25 mm, the VSWR becomes larger than 1.60 from about 7.4 GHz to about 7.6 GHz. On the other hand, in the cable assembly 1 having a distance L of 0.75 mm, the VSWR does not exceed 1.60 at 100 kHz to 12 GHz, which is a frequency necessary for performing high-speed communication. Thus, in the cable assembly 1, when the distance L is near 0.75 mm, it turns out that VSWR shows a favorable value.
 次に、このようなVSWRが1.60を超えない距離Lの範囲について、図4を用いて更に詳細に説明する。図4は、図1の外部導体13の端部から中心導体11が信号端子21に接続されるまで距離Lと、同軸ケーブル10の端部におけるVSWRとの関係を周波数毎に示す図である。具体的には、周波数が100kHz、及び、0.1GHzから12GHzにおける0.1GHz間隔の各周波数において、距離Lが0.25mm、0.75mm、1.25mm、1.75mmでのVSWRの値をプロットして、それぞれの周波数における各プロットを直線で結んだものである。なお、図4においては、VSWRの全体的な傾向を把握するため、特に言及する場合を除き、プロットされたグラフの各周波数については言及しない。 Next, the range of the distance L where the VSWR does not exceed 1.60 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the distance L from the end of the outer conductor 13 of FIG. 1 until the central conductor 11 is connected to the signal terminal 21 and the VSWR at the end of the coaxial cable 10 for each frequency. Specifically, the values of VSWR when the distance L is 0.25 mm, 0.75 mm, 1.25 mm, and 1.75 mm at frequencies of 100 kHz and 0.1 GHz intervals from 0.1 GHz to 12 GHz. The plot is made by connecting each plot at each frequency with a straight line. In FIG. 4, in order to grasp the overall tendency of VSWR, each frequency in the plotted graph is not mentioned unless otherwise specified.
 図4に示すように、同軸ケーブル10が、100kHzから12GHzの周波数の信号を伝送する場合において、距離Lが0.40mm以上0.85mm以下である場合に、同軸ケーブル10の端部におけるVSWRが1.60以下となる。 As shown in FIG. 4, when the coaxial cable 10 transmits a signal having a frequency of 100 kHz to 12 GHz, when the distance L is 0.40 mm or more and 0.85 mm or less, the VSWR at the end of the coaxial cable 10 is 1.60 or less.
 距離Lが0.40mmにおける最もVSWRが高い値となる周波数は、図4に示すように7.5GHzである。ここで、周波数が7.5GHzにおいて、距離Lが0.25mmにおけるVSWRの値は、1.66であり、距離Lが0.75mmにおけるVSWRの値は、1.45である。従って、周波数が7.5GHzにおいて、距離Lが0.25mm及び0.75mmでのVSWRの値をプロットして、これらのプロットを直線で結んだ場合、距離Lが0.40mmにおいて、この直線が示すVSWRの値は、1.597となる。 The frequency at which the VSWR has the highest value when the distance L is 0.40 mm is 7.5 GHz as shown in FIG. Here, at a frequency of 7.5 GHz, the value of VSWR when the distance L is 0.25 mm is 1.66, and the value of VSWR when the distance L is 0.75 mm is 1.45. Therefore, when the value of VSWR is plotted at a frequency of 7.5 GHz and the distance L is 0.25 mm and 0.75 mm, and these plots are connected by a straight line, this straight line is obtained when the distance L is 0.40 mm. The value of VSWR shown is 1.597.
 一方、距離Lが0.85mmにおける最もVSWRが高い値となる周波数は、図4に示すように10.8GHzである。ここで、周波数が10.8GHzにおいて、距離Lが0.75mmにおけるVSWRの値は、1.52であり、距離Lが1.25mmにおけるVSWRの値は、1.91である。従って、周波数が10.8GHzにおいて、距離Lが0.75mm及び1.25mmでのVSWRの値をプロットして、これらのプロットを直線で結んだ場合、距離Lが0.85mmにおいて、この直線が示すVSWRの値は、1.598となる。 On the other hand, the frequency at which the VSWR is the highest when the distance L is 0.85 mm is 10.8 GHz as shown in FIG. Here, at a frequency of 10.8 GHz, the value of VSWR when the distance L is 0.75 mm is 1.52, and the value of VSWR when the distance L is 1.25 mm is 1.91. Therefore, when the value of VSWR is plotted at a frequency of 10.8 GHz and the distance L is 0.75 mm and 1.25 mm and these plots are connected by a straight line, this straight line is obtained when the distance L is 0.85 mm. The value of VSWR shown is 1.598.
 従って、図1に示すケーブルアセンブリ1が、高速通信を行うために必要な100kHzから12GHzの周波数の信号を伝送する場合に、同軸ケーブル10の端部におけるVSWRが、1.60以下になるためには、距離Lは、0.40mm以上0.85mm以下とされる。 Therefore, when the cable assembly 1 shown in FIG. 1 transmits a signal having a frequency of 100 kHz to 12 GHz necessary for high-speed communication, the VSWR at the end of the coaxial cable 10 is 1.60 or less. The distance L is 0.40 mm or more and 0.85 mm or less.
 以上説明したように、本実施形態によるケーブルアセンブリ1によれば、中心導体11が外部導体13により覆われている部分においては、インピーダンスが整合されており、また、中心導体11が信号端子21に接続されてからは、信号端子21のインピーダンスが支配的になる。そして、100kHz以上12GHz以下の周波数の信号がコネクタ20の信号端子21に印加される場合において、外部導体13の端部から中心導体11が信号端子21に接続されるまで距離Lが、0.40mm以上0.85mm以下とされるため、同軸ケーブル10の端部におけるVSWRを1.60以下にすることができる。上述のように高速通信に用いられるアンテナ用の線路として、このようなVSWRが1.60以下であることが求められる。従って、このようなケーブルアセンブリ1においては、高速通信を行う場合におけるインピーダンス不整合による定在波を十分なレベルに抑制することができる。従って、このようなケーブルアセンブリ1を用いることにより、良好な高速通信が可能なアンテナシステムを実現することができる。 As described above, according to the cable assembly 1 according to the present embodiment, the impedance is matched in the portion where the center conductor 11 is covered with the outer conductor 13, and the center conductor 11 is connected to the signal terminal 21. After being connected, the impedance of the signal terminal 21 becomes dominant. When a signal having a frequency of 100 kHz or more and 12 GHz or less is applied to the signal terminal 21 of the connector 20, the distance L from the end of the outer conductor 13 to the center terminal 11 is connected to the signal terminal 21 is 0.40 mm. Since it is 0.85 mm or less, the VSWR at the end of the coaxial cable 10 can be 1.60 or less. As described above, such a VSWR is required to be 1.60 or less as an antenna line used for high-speed communication. Therefore, in such a cable assembly 1, standing waves due to impedance mismatching when performing high-speed communication can be suppressed to a sufficient level. Therefore, by using such a cable assembly 1, an antenna system capable of good high-speed communication can be realized.
 そして、このようなケーブルアセンブリ1を用いたアンテナシステムによれば、同軸ケーブル10及び導線路33のインピーダンスが共に50Ωとされ、さらに同軸ケーブル10の端部におけるVSWRを1.60以下にすることができるので、全体的にインピーダンスの不整合による定在波が抑制でき、良好な高速通信を行うことができる。 According to the antenna system using such a cable assembly 1, both the impedance of the coaxial cable 10 and the conductive line 33 are 50Ω, and the VSWR at the end of the coaxial cable 10 can be 1.60 or less. Therefore, the standing wave due to impedance mismatching can be suppressed as a whole, and good high-speed communication can be performed.
 以上、本発明について、実施形態を例に説明したが、本発明はこれらに限定されるものではない。 As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated to the example for embodiment, this invention is not limited to these.
 例えば、上記実施形態においては、同軸ケーブル10の端部において口出しにより絶縁層が露出するとしたが、絶縁層は必ずしも露出していなくても良い。 For example, in the above embodiment, the insulating layer is exposed at the end of the coaxial cable 10 by the lead, but the insulating layer does not necessarily have to be exposed.
 また、同軸ケーブル10の中心導体11は、複数の導電性の線材の撚り線から構成されるとしたが、導電性の単線から構成されても良い。また、外部導体13は、金属編組と、金属編組の隙間を埋める金属とから構成されるとしたが、金属編組のみから構成されても良く、金属のテープから構成されても良い。 Further, although the central conductor 11 of the coaxial cable 10 is composed of a plurality of conductive wire strands, it may be composed of a conductive single wire. The outer conductor 13 is composed of a metal braid and a metal that fills a gap between the metal braids, but may be composed of only a metal braid or a metal tape.
 また、ケーブルアセンブリ1は、コネクタ20とソケット40とが嵌合することで、グランド端子22とグランド層35とが電気的に接続されると共に、信号端子21と導線路33とが電気的に接続されるとしたが、他の手段により、グランド端子22とグランド層35とが電気的に接続され、信号端子21と導線路33とが電気的に接続されても良い。 In the cable assembly 1, the connector 20 and the socket 40 are fitted, whereby the ground terminal 22 and the ground layer 35 are electrically connected, and the signal terminal 21 and the conductive line 33 are electrically connected. However, the ground terminal 22 and the ground layer 35 may be electrically connected and the signal terminal 21 and the conductive line 33 may be electrically connected by other means.
 本発明によれば、良好な高速通信が可能なアンテナシステムを達成することができる同軸ケーブル、及び、これを用いたアンテナシステムが提供される。 According to the present invention, a coaxial cable capable of achieving an antenna system capable of good high-speed communication, and an antenna system using the same are provided.
