DE102009010411A1 - Use of foil antenna in e.g. roof of vehicle, using antenna wire structures, and contact points for attaching antenna to electronic high frequency device, four-wire network, downstream electronic equipment or module - Google Patents

Abstract

The use of foil antenna using antenna wire structures, and contact points for attaching the antenna to an electronic high frequency device, a four-wire network, a downstream electronic equipment or module. The foil antenna feeds received signals into an antenna wire over the contact points and/or supply the received signals to the electronic high frequency device over the contact points.

Description

The Invention relates to the application and integration of foil antennas, which is defined in the claims.

Under The term "film antennas" are such items understood in which a carrier (rigid or flexible) carries electrically conductive structures that as Antenna conductors are used. The electrically conductive Structures are on the surface and / or inside arranged the carrier.

The electrically conductive antenna structures are used for transmission and / or receiving high frequency signals in a frequency band or more frequency bands. These are the respective ones Antenna conductor structures in terms of their structure, their extent on the beam, its width, its length and their number to the respective to be sent and / or received tuned to high-frequency signals.

Farther the film antennas have correspondingly designed contact points on to at least one point of contact an electronic High frequency device, a matching network, a downstream one connect electronic device or module or the like, in order to transmit the signals to be transmitted via this contact point to feed the antenna conductors and / or over the minimum a contact point the received signals to the downstream supply high-frequency electronic device.

at The signals to be transmitted and / or received may be to act signals of various services.

Under The term "service" z. B. telephone signals, Radio or television signals, data signals or a combination thereof (in particular multimedia signals) understood.

The Design of the carrier (rigid or flexible) directed depending on the installation location of the device. Has the carrier (with the antenna conductor structures arranged thereon and / or therein) already the shape of the installation site, where he installed in the electronic device he can, for example, as a rigid carrier be executed. He does, however, after his production not yet the shape of the installation site, he can as a flexible carrier be designed so that he is the contours of the installation adapts.

Such film antennas are used according to the invention in electronic devices that are used stationary and / or mobile. Here are the following examples:
Integration of film antennas in portable computers (laptops, notebooks and the like) for data transmission, in particular for multimedia services such as W-LAN, Bluetooth, DVB-T, mobile communications, data communication, WIMAX and the like. This list is only an example and not exhaustive.

Farther comes the integration of the film antenna in components of vehicles (such as bumpers, discs, flat components (Hoods, roofs or the like), just outside mirrors or other components of vehicles into consideration. Here come services such as radio (AM, FM), telephone, GPS, satellite navigation, television and the like.

Farther comes the integration of foil antennas in portable navigation devices (PND = Portable Navigation Device) to be able to use a such antenna data exchange (in particular update of the data) and / or receiving traffic messages (TMC reception) enable.

The in the navigation device integrated foil antenna is so the replacement of the previously known wire antenna.

Farther It is conceivable, the film antennas mentioned in portable or stationary Data acquisition devices, vending machines, ticket machines, shopping trolleys, individual goods or whole assembled on an example pallet Use inventories.

Farther is the integration of film antennas in traffic control equipment, of traffic lights, remote diagnostic equipment and the like conceivable.

Furthermore One or more film antennas can be integrated into clothing It is conceivable that the electrically conductive Antenna structures are printed directly on textiles.

For example, the processes and devices mentioned in the following patent applications may be used for production, the entire content of the patent applications mentioned below being expressly included in the present patent application:
