Definitions
- the invention relates to an antenna for transmitting and / or receiving in the rear window of a motor vehicle, consisting of the heating field and a coil, which is designed with the aid of two parallel wires as a bifilar winding and the two wires on the first side of the coil to the two DC connections of the heating field and on the second side to the poles of the DC voltage source.
- a receiving antenna of this type is e.g. known from P 26 50 044.
- the heating field serves as an antenna for receiving the LMK and VHF signals.
- a particular problem here is the direct current supply for the heating field.
- the heating currents are supplied via a bifilar choke, this choke being connected in parallel to the antenna element with respect to the high-frequency signals.
- Another major disadvantage of this prior art antenna is the large interference coupling into the receiver input, particularly at low frequencies. These high-frequency disturbances are caused by the electrical units in the vehicle, e.g. through ignition and injection pulses and through digitally working components in the vehicle such as through digital motor electronics. Since with an antenna according to P 26 50 044 the antenna element is connected both to the receiver input and, with the rear window heating switched on, to the high-frequency disturbed DC voltage supply, screening measures in the DC voltage supply are highly effective, particularly for the low-frequency LMK range, to avoid reception interference required. The technical effort for this screening includes due to the high heating currents (up to 30 A).
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide good reception and transmission properties within the useful reception band in an antenna according to the preamble of claim 1 and the effort required for sieving the low-frequency interference in the heating circuit as low as possible for the reception case to keep possible.
- the coil 9 in the form of a bifilar winding forms the primary winding of a transformer 10 and the two wires on the second side of the coil are connected to the vehicle body 3 at high frequency and a magnetically coupled secondary winding 11 separate from the primary winding 9 is present. to which an antenna network 12 with the antenna connection point 20, 21 is connected.
- FIG. 1 On the rear window 1 there is a heating field 2, which serves as an antenna element.
- the heating currents are supplied via the two direct current connections 5 and 6 of the heating field, to which the first side 4 of the primary winding 9 is connected.
- This consists of bifalar closely adjacent wires and together with the secondary winding 11 forms a transformer 10.
- the other two connections on the second side 7 of the primary winding 9 are connected to the direct current source 8 for heating the heating elements. In terms of radio frequency, these connections are connected to the vehicle body 3, in the example of FIG. 1, by two capacitors 22.
- the secondary coil 11 is magnetically coupled to the primary winding 9.
- the number of turns of the secondary coil is suitably chosen so that a good signal-to-noise ratio for the reception frequency arises in the case of reception in the receiver 14, which is connected via an antenna network 12 and the antenna connection line 13.
- the antenna network 12 can optionally be designed as a passive low-loss transformation network or as an active amplifier and transformation network.
- the secondary coil 11 is suitably designed so that the best possible signal-to-noise ratio is established at the antenna connection point, that is to say at the output of the network 12 at the terminals 20 and 21, in the predetermined frequency range.
- this network 12 and the secondary coil 11 are implemented in such a way that resistance matching is present at the input of the receiver 14. Such an arrangement can also be used for transmission.
- a transmitter 14 takes the place of the receiver 14. The impedance matching at the transmitter output takes place here for maximum output power.
- the mode of operation of the antenna described at low frequencies is clear from the electrical equivalent circuit diagram in FIG. 2 for the case of a passive antenna network 12.
- the heating field 2 can be represented as a signal voltage source with the open circuit voltage E * heff and the impedance of the heating field Za between these pair of terminals 5, 6 and the vehicle body 3.
- Za can essentially be described by the capacitance Ca. It is important to ensure that the busbars of the heating field do not come into contact with high-frequency lossy materials (rubber edging, adhesive).
- E is the reception field strength and heff is the effective height of the heating field.
- the bifilar primary winding 9 of the transformer 10 is connected to this pair of terminals 5, 6 and, at its other end 7, is connected to the vehicle body 3 at a low frequency with a low frequency.
- the secondary winding 11 is carried out in such a way that the required impedance matching to the receiver or transmitter 14 is established at the end of the antenna connecting line with the least expensive, low-loss antenna network 12.
- the choice of a suitable secondary coil 11 allows the impedance level at its output (terminals 18, 19) to be freely selected within wide limits and thus easily to the further transmitter or receiver circuit be adjusted.
- the transformer principle is also very broadband, so that the antenna's mode of operation can also be optimized for wide frequency bands.
- heating field 2 and transformer 10 leads to high-pass behavior at low frequencies with a resonance increase at the resonance frequency, which results from the antenna capacitance Ca and the primary inductance of the transformer and the AC load on the secondary winding 11 by the antenna network 12. If this resonance frequency is placed at the lower frequency band end of the operating frequency range, the signal transmission of the antenna is also sufficient at the lower frequency band end. This dimensioning allows the primary inductance of the transformer 10 to be minimized. This involves a minimal amount of wire, which is also accompanied by minimal losses in heating power.
- a decisive advantage of the transformer coupling of the antenna network 12 to the heating field 2 is the fact that the high-frequency interference currents superimposed on the heating direct current source 8 of the vehicle, which also flow through the heating field, are not coupled into the receiving system and therefore cannot impair reception.
- These high-frequency interference currents are caused by the electrical vehicle units (e.g. ignition, alternator, digital engine electronics, etc.).
- These interference currents flow through the primary winding 9 of the transformer 10 due to the large self-inductance of the bifilar winding twice in the same size in opposite directions, so that their magnetic effects cancel each other and no signal is transmitted to the secondary winding and therefore no interference is coupled into the receiving system will.
- the interference voltage tapped off at the heating field is only insignificantly smaller than the total interference voltage superimposed on the DC voltage source of the heater by the interfering vehicle units.
- the capacity parallel to a capacitive antenna reduces the antenna bandwidth and thus the performance of the antenna. For this reason, the effective parallel capacitance between the pair of terminals 5, 6 and the ground connection (vehicle body 3) must be kept as small as possible.
- the primary winding of the transformer 10 on the first side 4 of the bifilar coil 9 is connected to the DC shots 5 and 6 of the heating field via the shortest possible conductive connections 16 and 17 (FIG. 1) in order to avoid a supply capacitance.
- frequency-selective circuits made of dummy elements with direct current separation from the body are used very advantageously.
- Such circuits are preferably implemented by sufficiently large capacitances (FIG. 1), by series resonance circuits or by circuits having a similar effect.
- the antenna network 12 can be implemented as a through-connection in a particularly simple case at frequencies that are not too low and within a frequency range that is not too large (e.g. for a car telephone) (FIG. 3).
- FOG. 3 frequency range that is not too large
- the impedance present at the connection terminals of the secondary windings 18 and 19 is transformed with a smaller deviation into the vicinity of the wave resistance of the antenna connection line.
- the directly connected antenna network 12 additionally contains an amplifying transistor 24 (FIG. 4).
- This is advantageously adapted on the input side for optimal signal-to-noise ratio with the aid of the low-loss transformation network 23.
- the output impedance of this transistor is advantageously transformed with the aid of an adaptation network 25 into the characteristic impedance ZL of the antenna connecting line.
- the impedance matching described above is not possible.
- electronically tunable receivers car radio
- a capacitive high-resistance input resistor with field-effect transistor with control at the gate are often used.
- the input impedance of such receivers can be described by the input capacitance Ce (FIG. 5).
- the antenna connection line ((13) used for such receivers is low-capacitance and, because of its short length compared to the operating wavelength, acts as a parallel capacitance CL. In these cases, the input impedance of the antenna connection line is capacitive and can be described by the capacitance Ce + CL.
- the electrical behavior of the receiving antenna is approximately described by the electrical equivalent circuit in FIG. 6.
- Lp is the inductance of the primary coil and ü the voltage transformation ratio ü of the transformer, which is loaded with the capacitance Cp at its output.
- the signal voltage U across the parallel capacitance can be determined using the following formula:
- the unavoidable coil losses dampen the signal. This drop in the signal voltage as the frequency becomes smaller can be compensated for or overcompensated for by using the resonance effect. Below the resonance frequency fr, the voltage U falls in accordance with (f / fr) 2 .
- the inductance Lp is very advantageously chosen such that the resonance frequency fr is higher by a factor v2 than the lowest frequency fu of the reception range (FIG. 7), because in this way the voltage U does not drop below the value Um in the entire operating frequency range.
- the self-inductance can therefore: to get voted. This dimensioning very advantageously results in the smallest possible value for Lp.
- reception frequency ranges e.g. LMK and FM radio reception in the vehicle
- transmit / receive frequency ranges e.g. car phone
- Fig. 9 two bifilar windings are present as primary windings of two transformers 10, referred to below as 10a and 10b, for decoupling two different frequency ranges, the primary windings of both coils 9a and 9b due to the direct current series connection of the heating direct current and of the high-frequency interference currents are flowed through one after the other and the advantages described above with regard to the failure to couple interference from the vehicle electrical system into the receiving system for both frequency ranges are retained.
- the connections 18a and 19a or 18b and 19b of the two secondary windings 11a and 11b of the transmitters 10a and 10b are connected to the common antenna network 12 with the antenna connection point 20, 21.
- a crossover 32 is expediently contained in the antenna network 12 (FIG. 9).
- the transmitter 10a is then dimensioned for the VHF frequency range, as explained above, for example, with reference to FIG. 4.
- the high-frequency, low-impedance connection of the second side of the primary winding 9a of the transformer 10a can then be easily implemented with the aid of series resonance circuits or with circuits with the character of series resonance circuits because of the relatively small bandwidth of the FM range.
- the resonance frequency of these series resonance circuits is appropriate moderately within the FM range and the resonance reactance of the resonance circuits is chosen so that the low impedance is sufficient in the entire FM frequency range.
- these series resonance circuits result in a capacitive loading of the heating disc at low frequencies, here the LMK range, so that the series resonance circuit must not be unnecessarily dimensioned with low impedance.
- the transformer 10b is provided for coupling out the low-frequency, wide LMK frequency range.
- the low-impedance connection of the two wires on the second side of the coil 9b in the transformer 10b is then expediently carried out in the simplest manner via sufficiently large capacitances (FIG. 9).
- the primary inductance of the coil 9a in the transmitter 10a represents a leakage inductance for the transmitter 10b, which reduces the effective coupling
- the wire requirement for the primary windings of the transmitters can be selected to a minimum. Nevertheless, with very large heating capacities and large areas to be heated, the thermal load on the transformer can become impermissibly high, especially if the windings are applied to a ferrite core. In such cases, it is advantageous to choose the size of the area heated via the primary windings 9 with the direct heating current to be smaller than the total area to be heated (FIG. 10). and only use this part of the heating field as an antenna. The remaining part of the area to be heated can then be covered with a heating field that is not used as an antenna.
