Abstract

Known rod antennas for radio traffic and for broadcast reception (VHF, S, M, L) do not have a sufficiently large bandwidth for specific applications. The invention is based on the object of developing a rod antenna in such a manner that the bandwidth of a rod antenna is increased in the direction of both higher and lower frequencies with low technical complexity. The object is achieved in that, starting from a 3/2 lambda long rod of dielectric material, which contains a continuous coaxial inner conductor and is surrounded in its central region by a conductive coating, underneath which conductive coating (14) a further conductive coating (13) is provided. The further conductive coating has a length of approximately lambda /2, in the same way as the central conductive coating (14). The coatings are intended to be at a distance (a) from one another and the lower end of the inner conductor (12) is intended to be conductively connected to the lower end of the further coating (13). The drawing shows a view of an antenna rod according to the invention. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung geht von einem stabförmigen Strahler nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 aus.The invention is based on a rod-shaped radiator according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Es ist ein derartiger Strahler bekannt (DE 89 O8 175 U1), der für den Funkverkehr und für den Rundfunkempfang (UKW, K, M, L) insbesondere in Fahrzeugen geeignet ist. Der bekannte Strahler hat den Nachteil, daß seine Bandbreite für bestimmte Anwendungen des Strahlers zu gering ist.Such a radiator is known (DE 89 O8 175 U1), which is suitable for radio traffic and for radio reception (VHF, K, M, L), particularly in vehicles. The known radiator has the disadvantage that its bandwidth is too small for certain applications of the radiator.

Aufgabetask

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den stabförmigen Strahler gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 derart weiterzubilden, daß sich bei geringem technischem Aufwand die Bandbreite des Strahlers sowohl in Richtung auf höhere als auch auf tiefere Frequenzen vergrößert.The invention has for its object to develop the rod-shaped radiator according to the preamble of claim 1 such that the bandwidth of the radiator increases both in the direction of higher and lower frequencies with little technical effort.

Lösungsolution

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem stabförmigen Strahler gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil dieses Anspruchs angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Der mit der Erfindung erzielbare Vorteil besteht insbesondere darin, daß der eine Gewinnantenne bildende stabförmige Strahler eine größere Bandbreite und außerdem über seine gesamte Länge eine gleichmäßige Dicke bzw. Konizität aufweist.This object is achieved in a rod-shaped radiator according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features specified in the characterizing part of this claim. The advantage that can be achieved with the invention is, in particular, that the rod-shaped radiator forming a gain antenna has a larger bandwidth and also has a uniform thickness or taper over its entire length.

Ein bevorzugtes Anwendungsgebiet für den stabförmigen Strahler ist eine Fahrzeug-Funkantenne, die vorzugsweise auch für den Rundfunkempfang mit einem Autoradio geeignet ist.A preferred area of application for the rod-shaped radiator is a vehicle radio antenna, which is preferably also suitable for radio reception with a car radio.

In Fig. 1 bezeichnet 10 einen stabförmigen Strahler für verschiedene Frequenzbereiche, zum Beispiel den Funkbereich und den Lang-, Mittel-, Kurz- und Ultrakurzwellen-Rundfunkbereich. Der Strahler umfaßt einen zylindrischen Stab 11 aus einem dielektrischen Material, vorzugsweise aus Glasfiber, der einen sich über die gesamte Länge des Strahlers ersteckenden koaxialen Innenleiter 12 enthält. Der Stab 11 hat eine Länge von etwa 3/2 λ, wobei λ die mittlere Betriebswellenlänge des betreffenden Funkbereiches ist. Ein unterer Längenbereich des Stabes 11 hat eine Länge L1 von etwa λ/2 und trägt einen ersten dünnen, leitenden Belag 13. Ein mittlerer Längenbereich des Stabes, der eine Länge L2 von ebenfalls etwa λ/2 hat, trägt einen zweiten dünnen, leitenden Belag 14. Zwischen den beiden leitenden Belägen 13 und 14 besteht ein Abstand a, so daß die Beläge gegeneinander isoliert sind.In Fig. 1, 10 denotes a rod-shaped radiator for different frequency ranges, for example the radio range and the long, medium, short and ultra-short wave broadcasting range. The radiator comprises a cylindrical rod 11 made of a dielectric material, preferably of glass fiber, which contains a coaxial inner conductor 12 which extends over the entire length of the radiator. The rod 11 has a length of about 3/2 λ, where λ is the average operating wavelength of the radio range in question. A lower length range of the rod 11 has a length L1 of approximately λ / 2 and carries a first thin, conductive coating 13. A medium length range of the rod, which also has a length L2 of approximately λ / 2, carries a second thin, conductive coating 14. There is a distance a between the two conductive coverings 13 and 14, so that the coverings are insulated from one another.

Am unteren Ende des Stabes 11 tritt aus diesem ein Innenleiterende 23 des Innenleiters 12 aus. Es ist um das Stabende herumgebogen und mit dem ersten leitenden Belag 13 leitend, zum Beispiel durch Löten, verbunden. Alternativ kann der leitende Belag 13 um die untere Stirnseite des Stabes 11 herumgeführt sein und das in diesem Fall kürzere Innenleiterende 23 durch den stirnseitigen Belag hindurchgreifen, radial abgebogen und mit dem stirnseiten Belag leitend verbunden sein. Das untere Stabende steckt in einer Vertiefung 15 eines Gewindebolzens 16, der zur Befestigung des Strahlers an einem mit einer Wand, zum Beispiel einer Fahrzeugkarosserie, verbundenen Fußstück dient.At the lower end of the rod 11, an inner conductor end 23 of the inner conductor 12 emerges from the latter. It is bent around the end of the rod and connected to the first conductive coating 13 in a conductive manner, for example by soldering. Alternatively, the conductive covering 13 can be guided around the lower end face of the rod 11 and the inner conductor end 23, which is shorter in this case, can reach through the end covering, be bent radially and be conductively connected to the end covering. The lower end of the rod is in a recess 15 of a threaded bolt 16, which is used to fasten the radiator to a foot piece connected to a wall, for example a vehicle body.

Beim Rundfunkempfang kommt die gesamte Länge L des Strahlers 10 zur Wirkung. Für den Funkverkehr, der in einem vergleichsweise hohen Frequenzbereich stattfindet, zum Beispiel zwischen 450 ... 470 MHz, kommt nur der untere und obere Teil zur Wirkung.The entire length L of the radiator 10 comes into effect during radio reception. For radio traffic that takes place in a comparatively high frequency range, for example between 450 ... 470 MHz, only the lower and upper part comes into effect.

Wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, kann auch ein sich vom Fußpunkt des Strahlers aus konisch verjüngender Stab 17 angewendet werden, der wie in dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 ebenfalls zwei leitende Beläge 18 und 19 trägt.As shown in FIG. 2, it is also possible to use a rod 17 which tapers conically from the base of the radiator and which, as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, likewise carries two conductive coverings 18 and 19.

In Fig. 3 ist ein zylindrischer Stab 20 gezeigt, der an Stelle der Beläge 13, 14 nach Fig. 1 mit zwei leitenden Geflechten 21 und 22 versehen ist. Die leitenden Geflechte sind beispielsweise auf den Stab 20 aufgeschoben.In Fig. 3, a cylindrical rod 20 is shown, which is provided in place of the pads 13, 14 of FIG. 1 with two conductive braids 21 and 22. The conductive braids are pushed onto the rod 20, for example.

Die leitenden Beläge 13, 14 nach Fig. 1 können auch durch je eine leitende Folie oder je ein dünnwandiges Rohrteil 25, 26 (Fig. 4) gebildet sein. Die Folien und die Rohrteile bestehen vorzugsweise aus Kupfer und können bei der Herstellung des Strahlers in den Stab 27 miteingespritzt werden, so daß die Folien bzw. Rohrteile nicht über die Mantelfläche des Stabes 27 hinausragen.1 can also be formed by a conductive film or a thin-walled tube part 25, 26 (FIG. 4). The foils and the tube parts are preferably made of copper and can be injected into the rod 27 during the manufacture of the radiator, so that the foils or tube parts do not protrude beyond the outer surface of the rod 27.

Die in den Fig. 1 bis 4 gezeigten Strahler werden beispielsweise mit einem isolierenden Schlauch, das ist vorzugsweise ein Schrumpfschlauch, überzogen; vgl. den in Fig. 4 verkürzt dargestellten Schlauch 28.The radiators shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 are covered, for example, with an insulating tube, which is preferably a shrink tube; see. the hose 28 shown shortened in FIG. 4.
