Abstract

The invention is based on the object of developing a known rod antenna for TV reception in such a manner that it is suitable, without tuning, for two frequency bands, for example the VHF and the UHF bands. <??>The solution consists in that, on a rod (11) of insulating material, two windings (12, 13) connected to one another exist and that the rod of insulating material carries at one end a helical spring (26), the free end of which forms the base of the rod antenna (10). The other end of the helical spring is coupled via capacitive coupling means (15, 16, 17) to the second winding (13). The length l between the base and the capacitive coupling means is about lambda u/4 and the length l2 of the overall rod antenna (10) is about lambda v/4. lambda u corresponds to the wavelength of the centre operating frequency of the UHF band and lambda v corresponds to the wavelength of the centre operating frequency of the VHF band. <IMAGE>

Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels der ErfindungDescription of an embodiment of the invention

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung an Hand einer Figur dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert. Die Figur zeigt eine Stabantenne im Schnitt.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing using a figure and is explained in more detail below. The figure shows a rod antenna in section.

In der Figur bezeichnet 10 eine Stabantenne aus einem konisch verjüngten Isolierstoffstab 11 mit zwei miteinander verbundenen Wicklungen 12 und 13, von denen die erste Wicklung 12 bereits vor dem freien Ende 14 des Isolier­stoffstabes 11 endet. Während die Windungen der ersten Wicklung 12 mit ver­hältnismäßig großer Steigung gewickelt sind, sind die Windungen der zwei­ter. Wicklung 13 beispielsweise ohne Steigung gewickelt. Zwischen der vor­letzten Windung 15 und der letzten Windung 16 der zweiten Wicklung 13 ist eine Windung 17 einer dritten Wicklung 18 enthalten, deren anderes Ende 19 mit einem bandförmigen Leiter 20 verbunden ist. Der bandförmige Leiter ist ebenso wie das untere Ende 22 des Isolierstoffstabes 11 von einer metalli­schen Hülse 23 umgeben, die gleichzeitig einen ersten Gewindebolzen 24 an einen. Ende umschließt. Das andere Ende des Gewindebolzens trägt einen Gewindestift 25, der in eine Wendelfeder 26 eingeschraubt ist. In das an­dere Ende der Wendelfeder 26 ist ein Gewindestift 27 eines zweiten Gewinde­bolzens 28 eingeschraubt, der an seinem freien Ende einen weiteren Gewinde­stift 29 zum Befestigen der Stabantenne trägt. Der Gewindebolzen 28 bildet den Fußpunkt der Stabantenne. Ein elektrisch leitendes Band 30 überbrückt die Wendelfeder und ist mit seinen Enden zwischen den Gewindestiften 25 und 27 und den zugehörigen Enden der Wendelfeder 26 eingeklemmt. Die Wicklungen 12, 13 und 17 bestehen aus einem isolierten Draht, vorzugsweise aus Kupfer­lackdraht. Die gesamte Stabantenne ist mit Ausnahme des weiteren Gewinde­stiftes 29 von einer elastischen Kunststoffhülle 31 umgeben.In the figure, 10 denotes a rod antenna made from a conically tapered insulating material rod 11 with two windings 12 and 13 connected to one another, of which the first winding 12 ends before the free end 14 of the insulating material rod 11. While the windings of the first winding 12 are wound with a relatively large pitch, the windings are the second. Winding 13, for example, wound without a slope. Between the penultimate turn 15 and the last turn 16 of the second winding 13, a turn 17 of a third winding 18 is contained, the other end 19 of which is connected to a band-shaped conductor 20. Like the lower end 22 of the insulating material rod 11, the band-shaped conductor is surrounded by a metallic sleeve 23, which at the same time connects a first threaded bolt 24 to one. Encloses end. The other end of the threaded bolt carries a threaded pin 25 which is screwed into a helical spring 26. A threaded pin 27 of a second threaded bolt 28 is screwed into the other end of the helical spring 26 and carries a further threaded pin 29 at its free end for fastening the rod antenna. The threaded bolt 28 forms the base of the rod antenna. An electrically conductive band 30 bridges the helical spring and is clamped with its ends between the threaded pins 25 and 27 and the associated ends of the helical spring 26. The windings 12, 13 and 17 consist of an insulated wire, preferably of enamelled copper wire. The entire rod antenna is surrounded by an elastic plastic sleeve 31, with the exception of the further threaded pin 29.

Die Wirkungsweise der vorstehend beschriebenen Stabantenne 10 ist folgende.The operation of the rod antenna 10 described above is as follows.

Die sich überlappenden Wicklungsenden der Wicklungen 16 und 17 bilden einen Kondensator, der die Wicklungen 12 und 13 mit dem restlichen Teil der Stab­antenne, das heißt der Hülse 23, dem ersten Gewindebolzen 24, der Wendel­feder 26 und dem zweiten Gewindebolzen 28, kapazitiv koppelt.The overlapping winding ends of the windings 16 and 17 form a capacitor which capacitively couples the windings 12 and 13 to the remaining part of the rod antenna, that is to say the sleeve 23, the first threaded bolt 24, the helical spring 26 and the second threaded bolt 28.

Beträgt die Länge l₁ zwischen dem Fußpunkt der Stabantenne 10 und der dritten Wicklung 17 zum Beispiel λU/4, wobei λU die mittlere Betriebs­wellenlänge des UHF-Bereiches ist, und die Länge l₂ zwischen dem Fuß­punkt und dem Ende der ersten Wicklung 12 zum Beispiel λV/4, wobei λV die mittlere Betriebswellenlänge des VHF-Bereiches ist, dann wirkt die Länge l₁ der Stabantenne 10 als UHF-Antenne und die Länge l₂ als VHF-­Antenne.Is the length l₁ between the base of the rod antenna 10 and the third winding 17 for example λ U / 4, where λ U is the average operating wavelength of the UHF range, and the length l₂ between the base and the end of the first winding 12 for example λ V / 4, where λ V is the average operating wavelength of the VHF range, then the length l 1 of the rod antenna 10 acts as a UHF antenna and the length l 2 as a VHF antenna.

Die Stabantenne kann mit ihrem Gewindestift 29 in eine Schwenkhalte­rung eingeschraubt werden, die zum Beispiel auf dem Dach eines Fahr­zeuges befestigt ist. Dadurch kann die Antenne wahlweise unter 90° oder unter 0° zu der Horizontalen ausgerichtet werden und somit ver­tikal oder horizontal polarisierte Wellen empfangen.The rod antenna can be screwed with its grub screw 29 into a swivel bracket which is attached, for example, to the roof of a vehicle. As a result, the antenna can be aligned either at 90 ° or at 0 ° to the horizontal and thus receive vertically or horizontally polarized waves.
