Abstract

Auf einem Substrat (1) sind in vertikaler Richtung übereinander mehrere Dipole (2, 3 bis 2<(n)>, 3<(n)>) als Streifenleiter aufgebracht. Diese Dipole werden von einer Speiseeinrichtung, die in Streifenleitungstechnik ausgeführte Leiterbahnen (4,4', 5,6, 7,7', 9, 12) aufweist, mit HF-Energie versorgt. Auf der diesen Leiterbahnen gegenüberliegenden Seite des Substrats ist ein parasitärer Ausgleichsstrahler (11) vorgesehen, der den Einfluß der Leiterbahnen auf das Strahlungsdiagramm der Dipole weitgehend kompensiert. Die Leiterbahnen der Speiseeinrichtung sind so angeordnet, daß sich eine Kombination einer Parallelspeisung mit einer Serienspeisung mit gleichen (oder bei Anhebung des Strahlendiagramms entsprechend gewählten) Leitungslängen ergibt.A plurality of dipoles (2, 3 to 2 <(n)>, 3 <(n)>) are applied as strip conductors on a substrate (1) in the vertical direction. These dipoles are supplied with HF energy by a feed device which has strip conductors (4,4 ', 5,6, 7,7', 9, 12). A parasitic compensating radiator (11) is provided on the side of the substrate opposite these conductor tracks, which largely compensates for the influence of the conductor tracks on the radiation diagram of the dipoles. The conductor tracks of the feed device are arranged in such a way that a combination of a parallel feed with a series feed with the same (or if the radiation diagram is raised accordingly) line lengths results.

Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Antenne mit mindestens einem Dipol, bei der der DipoL und die Speiseeinrichtung für den Dipol in Streifenleitungstechnik ausgeführt sind. Eine solche Antenne ist aus dem Aufsatz "An Electronically Scanned Beacon Antenna" von A.E. Holley et aL in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Band AP22, Nr. 1, Januar 1974, Seiten 3 bis 12 (insbesondere Seite 10) bekannt.The invention is based on an antenna with at least one dipole, in which the dipole and the feed device for the dipole are designed using stripline technology. Such an antenna is from the article "An Electronically Scanned Beacon Antenna" by A.E. Holley et al in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Volume AP22, No. 1, January 1974, pages 3 to 12 (in particular page 10).

In Streifenleitungstechnik realisierte Antennen sind preiswert herzustellen und gut reproduzierbar. ALs Rundstrahler sind die bekannten Antennen in Streifenleitungstechnik und mit DipoLen jedoch nicht zu verwenden, da die auf der Speiseeinrichtung für die Dipole erzeugten Parasitärströme das von den Dipolen erzeugte Runddiagramm verformen.Antennas realized in stripline technology are inexpensive to manufacture and reproducible. However, the known antennas in stripline technology and with dipoles are not to be used as omnidirectional antennas, since the parasitic currents generated for the dipoles on the supply device deform the omnidirectional diagram generated by the dipoles.

Bekannte RundstrahLantennen sind im ALLgemeinen in KoaxiaLtechnik realisiert. Sind hierbei mehrere DipoLe in vertikaLer Richtung übereinander angeordnet, dann ist eine zentrale Speisung für die einzelnen DipoLe vorgesehen. Zur Herstellung ist ein relativ großer Aufwand notwendig.Known omnidirectional antennas are generally realized in coaxial technology. If several dipoles are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction, then a central supply for the individual dipoles is provided. A relatively large outlay is necessary for the production.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine in Streifenleitungstechnik realisierte Rundstrahlantenne anzugeben.The object of the invention is to provide an omnidirectional antenna realized in stripline technology.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen MitteLn. VorteiLhafte WeiterbiLdungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.This object is achieved with the means specified in claim 1. Advantageous further training can be found in the subclaims.

Die neue Antenne weist eine gute Rundcharakteristik (±1dB) auf und ist breitbandig (± 5% bei 1 GHz). Gemäß einer Weiterbildung, bei der mehrere DipoLe übereinander angeordnet sind, erreicht man in vertikaler Richtung eine gute Bündelung. Gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung ist die Speiseeinrichtung so ausgestaltet, daß sie auf dem Substrat; auf dem die DipoLe aufgebracht sind, nur wenig PLatz benötigt. Dadurch kann die gesamte Antenne so schmal ausgestaltet werden, daß sie zum Schutz gegen Witterungseinflüße in einem dünnen rohrförmigen Radom untergebracht werden kann.The new antenna has good circular characteristics (± 1dB) and is broadband (± 5% at 1 GHz). According to a further development in which several DipoLe are arranged one above the other, good bundling is achieved in the vertical direction. According to another development, the feed device is designed such that it is on the substrate; on which the DipoLe are attached, only little space is required. As a result, the entire antenna can be made so narrow that it can be accommodated in a thin tubular radome for protection against the weather.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung, die eine Draufsicht auf eine Antenne darstellt, beispielsweise näher erLäutert.The invention is explained in more detail, for example, with reference to the drawing, which shows a plan view of an antenna.

Für das Ausführungsbeispiel wird eine Antenne gewählt, bei der in vertikaler Richtung mehrere vertikal polarisierte DipoLe übereinander angeordnet sind. Mit einer solchen Antenne erhält man bei geeigneter Wahl der komplexen StrombeLegung in Vertikalrichtung ein in gewünschter Weise gebündeltes Strahlungsdiagramm.An antenna is selected for the exemplary embodiment in which a plurality of vertically polarized dipoles are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction. With such an antenna, with a suitable choice of the complex current allocation in the vertical direction, a radiation diagram is bundled in the desired manner.

Auf einem dielektrischen Substrat 1, das aus PTFE (PTFE: Polytetrafluoräthylen) besteht, sind auf bekannte Weise (z.B. Photoätztechnik) Kupferbahnen aufgebracht. Diese Kupferbahnen bilden die DipoLe 2,3 bis 2(n), 3(n) der Antenne, die Speiseeinrichtung 4,4', 7,7', 9 und 12 für die DipoLe und einen parasitären Ausgleichsstrahler 11. Die Speiseeinrichtung ist in symmetrischer Bandleitungstechnik auf beiden Seiten des Substrats ausgeführt. Die Kupferbahnen sind in der Zeichnung nicht maßstabsgerecht dargestellt.On a dielectric substrate 1, which consists of PTFE (PTFE: polytetrafluoroethylene), copper tracks are applied in a known manner (eg photoetching technique). These copper tracks form the DipoLe 2,3 to 2 (n) , 3 (n) of the antenna, the feed device 4,4 ', 7,7', 9 and 12 for the DipoLe and a parasitic compensating radiator 11. The feed device is symmetrical Bandline technology carried out on both sides of the substrate. The copper tracks are not shown to scale in the drawing.

Ein DipoL besteht in an sich bekannter Weise aus zwei Dipolhälften 2,3 von denen die eine HäLfte 2 auf der Oberseite und die andere HäLfte 3 auf der Unterseite des Substrats angeordnet ist. Aus Breitbandigkeitsgründen sind die Dipole in an sich bekannter Weise geeignet geformt.A dipole consists, in a manner known per se, of two dipole halves 2, 3, one half 2 of which is arranged on the top side and the other half 3 is arranged on the bottom side of the substrate. For reasons of broadband, the dipoles are suitably shaped in a manner known per se.

Die Leiterbahnen für die Speiseeinrichtung führen den Dipolen die HF-Leistung jeweils an den DipoLmitten zu.The conductor tracks for the feed device feed the HF power to the dipoles at the dipole centers.

Durch die Parasitärströme auf den Leiterbahnen der Speiseeinrichtung wird das in der Azimutebene an sich kreisförmige StrahLungsdiagramm der DipoLe so verformt, daß es nicht mehr kreisförmig ist. Dieser störende EinfLuß wird bei der neuen Antenne in vorteilhafter Weise dadurch weitgehend kompensiert, daß man einen parasitären Ausgleichsstrahler 11 vorsieht.Due to the parasitic currents on the conductor tracks of the feed device, the radiation diagram of the dipole, which is circular in the azimuth plane, is deformed in such a way that it is no longer circular. This disturbing influence is largely compensated for in the new antenna in an advantageous manner by providing a parasitic compensating radiator 11.

Dieser Ausgleichsstrahler 11 ist ebewfalls als Leiterbahn auf dem Substrat realisiert. Es ist möglich auf nur einer Seite des Substrats 1 oder auch auf beiden Seiten des Substrats eine sich in vertikaler Richtung erstreckende Leiterbahn vorzusehen. Die Leiterbahn kann weiterhin durch mehrere Leiterbahnstücke ersetzt werden. Wichtig ist jedoch, daß die DipoLe -in horizontaler Richtung betrachtet- zwischen den Leiterbahnen der Speiseeinrichtung und dem parasitären Ausgleichsstrahler angeordnet sind. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Länge des parasitären Ausgleichsstrahlers gleich der maximalen Ausdehnung der Leiterbahnen der Speiseeinrichtung in der vertikalen Richtung.This compensating radiator 11 is also implemented as a conductor track on the substrate. It is possible to provide a conductor track extending in the vertical direction on only one side of the substrate 1 or on both sides of the substrate. The conductor track can still be replaced by several conductor track sections. However, it is important that the DipoLe - viewed in the horizontal direction - are arranged between the conductor tracks of the feed device and the parasitic compensating radiator. In the exemplary embodiment, the length of the parasitic compensating radiator is equal to the maximum extension of the conductor tracks of the feed device in the vertical direction.

Nachfolgend wird erläutert, wie die einzelnen DipoLe über die Leiterbahnen der Speiseeinrichtung mit der (nicht dargestellten) HF-Quelle verbunden sind, damit man eine bestimmte StromverteiLung und feste Phasenverhältnisse erhält.The following explains how the individual dipoles are connected to the RF source (not shown) via the conductor tracks of the feed device, so that a specific current distribution and fixed phase relationships are obtained.

Zunächst ein VergLeich mit bekannten Lösungen. In dem Buch "Radar Handbook" von M.I.Skolnik McGraw Hill Verlag New York, 1970 sind auf den Seiten 11-52 und 11-53 einige MögLichkeiten angegeben, wie man die gewünschten Phasenverhältnisse erhält. Es wird zwischen serieller und paralLeLer Speisung unterschieden.First a comparison with known solutions. In the book "R adar Handbook" by MISkolnik McGraw Hill Publishing N ew York, 1970 11-53 Some ways are listed on pages 11-52, and how to get the desired phase relationships. A distinction is made between serial and parallel supply.

Bei einer seriellen Speisung erhält man eine große Bandbreite nur dann, wenn man eine "serielle Speisung mit gleichen Leitungslängen" wählt. Diese Lösung erfordert jedoch einen sehr großen PLatzbedarf. Auch bei einer rein parallelen Speisung ist ein großer PLatzbedarf notwendig.With a serial supply, you only get a large bandwidth if you choose a "serial supply with the same cable length". However, this solution requires a very large amount of space. A large space requirement is also necessary for a purely parallel supply.

Bei der neuen Speiseeinrichtung erfolgt eine Kombination der Lösung "paraLLeLe Speisung" und der Lösung "serielle Speisung mit gleichen LeitungsLängen". Es hat sich in überraschender Weise gezeigt, daß hierdurch der benötigte PLatzbedarf stark reduziert wird. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel wird die HF-Energie über die Leitung 12 weitergeleitet. Die Leitung 12 weist drei serielle Abzweigungen a,b und c auf. Die Abzweigungen und die Breiten der Leiterbahnen vor und nach den Abzweigungen (T-Verzweigungen mit λ/4-Transformatoren) sind jeweils so gewählt, daß zu den Dipolen (bzw. zu Gruppen von DipoLen) jeweils der Anteil der HF-Energie weitergeleitet wird, der notwendig ist, damit man die gewünschte StromverteiLung erhält.The new feeding device combines the "paraLLeLe Feeding" solution and the "serial feeding with the same cable lengths" solution. It has surprisingly been found that the space required is greatly reduced as a result. In the exemplary embodiment, the RF energy is passed on via line 12. The line 12 has three serial branches a, b and c. The branches and the widths of the conductor tracks before and after the branches (T-branches with λ / 4 transformers) are each selected so that the proportion of the RF energy is passed on to the dipoles (or to groups of dipoles), which is necessary to obtain the desired distribution of electricity.

Von der Abzweigunge a führt eine Leiterbahn 9 zu einer weiteren Verzweigung e, von der aus die beiden unteren Dipole 2(n), 3(n); 2(IV) , 3(IV) über Leiterbahnen 7,7' parallel gespeist werden. Von den Abzweigungen b und c werden die beiden mittleren DipoLe 2(II) , 3(II); 2(III), 3(III) über Leiterbahnen 5,6 direkt gespeist. Die Leiterbahn 12 endet an einer letzten Abzweigung d, von der aus die beiden oberen Dipole 2,3; 2(I), 3(I) über Leiterbahnen 4,4 direkt parallel gespeist werden.From the branch a, a conductor 9 leads to a further branch e, from which the two lower dipoles 2 (n) , 3 (n) ; 2 (IV) , 3 (IV) can be fed in parallel via conductor tracks 7, 7 '. From the branches b and c the two middle dipoles 2 (II) , 3 (II) ; 2 (III) , 3 (III) fed directly via conductor tracks 5, 6. The conductor track 12 ends at a last junction d, from which the two upper dipoles 2, 3; 2 (I) , 3 (I) can be fed directly in parallel via conductor tracks 4,4.

Die geometrischen Längen der einzelnen Leiterbahnen sind so bemessen, daß die elektrischen Weglängen von der HF-QueLLe zu allen Dipolen gleich sind oder, falls in vertikaler Richtung eine Anhebung des Strahlungsdiagramm erwünscht ist, ein bestimmtes Verhältnis zueinander aufweisen.The geometric lengths of the individual conductor tracks are dimensioned such that the electrical path lengths from the HF source to all dipoles are the same or, if an increase in the radiation pattern is desired in the vertical direction, have a specific relationship to one another.
