Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Antenne, die mit einer Kopfkapazität und einem Antennengegengewicht versehen ist und bei der an einem Fußpunkt eine Verlängerungsspule angeordnet ist.The invention relates to an antenna which is provided with a head capacitance and an antenna counterweight and in which an extension coil is arranged at a base point.
Für mobile Telefone, insbesondere für Handgeräte nach dem GSM-Standard (Group Special Mobile), wird eine verkürzte Antenne benötigt, da die bisher übliche Stabantenne, deren Länge etwa 8 cm betragen müßte, ersetzt werden soll. Letztere besitzt bei den zu fordernden Eigenschaften hinsichtlich Anpassung und Verlust nicht die für Handgeräte nach der im genannten Standard zu fordernden Breitbandigkeit.A shortened antenna is required for mobile telephones, in particular for handheld devices according to the GSM standard (Group Special Mobile), since the previously customary rod antenna, the length of which should be approximately 8 cm, is to be replaced. The latter does not have the broadband characteristics required for handheld devices in terms of adaptation and loss in terms of adaptation and loss.
Zur Anpassung einer verkürzten linearen Antenne wird meist eine Induktivität zum elektrischen Ausgleich der fehlenden Länge eingesetzt. Durch diese Verlängerungsspule fließt ein großer Strom, so daß schon ein kleiner Verlustwiderstand den Antennenwirkungsgrad in einem für Handgeräte nicht tragbaren Ausmaß herabsetzen kann. Eine verkürzte Antenne läßt sich auch mit einer kapazitiven Belastung der Antennenspitze (Kopfkapazität oder Dachkapazität) in Resonanz bringen und an die Speiseleitung anpassen. Diese Methode der Anpassung verursacht kleinere Verluste und vergrößert die Bandbreite.To adapt a shortened linear antenna, an inductance is usually used to compensate for the missing length. A large current flows through this extension coil, so that even a small loss resistance can reduce the antenna efficiency to an extent that is not acceptable for handheld devices. A shortened antenna can also be resonated with a capacitive load on the antenna tip (head capacity or roof capacity) and adapted to the feed line. This method of adjustment causes smaller losses and increases the bandwidth.
In der DE 22 62 522 C2 wird eine Antenne für Meter- oder Dezimeterwellen nach Art eines Faltunipols mit Dachkapazität vorgeschlagen. Dabei sollen zwei etwa senkrecht zu einer Grundfläche stehende Antennenleiter mit einer als Dachkapazität wirkenden leitenden Scheibe über eine Induktivität verbunden sein. Einer der Antennenleiter ist an die Grundfläche angeschlossen, der andere bildet im Bereich der Grundfläche den Antennenfußpunkt. Kennzeichnenderweise ist die Induktivität bei dieser Ausführung dadurch gebildet, daß die Antennenleiter isoliert durch die Scheibe hindurchgeführt, an der der Grundfläche abgewandten Scheibenseite entlanggeführt und an ihrem jeweiligen Ende galvanisch mit der Scheibe verbunden sind. In einer speziellen Ausführung ist vorgesehen, die Scheibe aus einem Isolierträger, insbesondere Epoxidglas, mit geeigneten Metallisierungen auf beiden Seiten der Scheibe auszubilden. Die zwischen der Scheibe und der Grundfläche stehenden Antennenleiter sind in jedem Fall als drahtförmige Leitungsstücke ausgebildet.DE 22 62 522 C2 describes an antenna for meter or decimeter waves in the manner of a folding unipole Roof capacity suggested. In this case, two antenna conductors approximately perpendicular to a base area are to be connected to a conductive disk acting as a roof capacitance via an inductor. One of the antenna conductors is connected to the base area, the other forms the antenna base point in the area of the base area. Characteristically, the inductance in this embodiment is formed in that the antenna conductors pass through the pane in an insulated manner, are guided along the side of the pane facing away from the base area and are galvanically connected to the pane at their respective ends. A special embodiment provides for the pane to be formed from an insulating support, in particular epoxy glass, with suitable metallizations on both sides of the pane. The antenna conductors standing between the pane and the base are in any case designed as wire-shaped line pieces.
Für die geplante Frequenz wird eine derartige Antenne einen etwa zylindrischen Raum von ca. 3 cm Durchmesser und 3 cm Höhe einnehmen. Dies erscheint für handgehaltene Geräte zu groß. Die Antenne ist ferner fertigungstechnisch recht aufwendig, da sie aus einzelnen Teilen, wie Scheibe und Antennenleiter, durch Löten und Vernieten aufgebaut werden muß.Such an antenna will occupy an approximately cylindrical space of approximately 3 cm in diameter and 3 cm in height for the planned frequency. This seems too big for handheld devices. The antenna is also very expensive to manufacture, since it has to be built up from individual parts, such as washers and antenna conductors, by soldering and riveting.
Darüber hinaus soll der theoretische Isotropgewinn der Antenne etwa 5 dB betragen, was für eine deutliche Bündelung spricht, und die Bandbreite soll ungefähr 7% bei einem Stehwellenverhältnis von weniger als 2 betragen.In addition, the theoretical isotropic gain of the antenna should be about 5 dB, which speaks for a clear bundling, and the bandwidth should be about 7% with a standing wave ratio of less than 2.
Eine Antenne der einleitend genannten Art ist aus der US 48 76 709 bekannt. Diese Antenne ist für eine Verwendung im Kurzwellenbereich geeignet. Aus dieser vorgesehenen Verwendung resultiert, daß die Antenne wesentlich kleinere Abmessungen als die zugeordnete Wellenlänge aufweist. Die Antenne wird durch eine metallisierte Fläche realisiert, die relativ zur Leiterplatte des Gerätes erregt wird. Die Anpassung erfolgt mit Hilfe von zwei Filtern, von denen eines für den Sender und eines für den Empfänger vorgesehen ist. Durch die Verwendung einer zusätzlich Abschirmplatte ist es möglich, den Einfluß einer Hand des Benutzers auf die Signalübertragung durch eine Anpassung der Antenne zu minimieren. Insbesondere erfolgt hierzu eine Entfernung der benötigten Schalter aus dem Bereich der Antenne.An antenna of the type mentioned in the introduction is known from US 48 76 709. This antenna is suitable for use in the shortwave range. From this Intended use results in the antenna having significantly smaller dimensions than the assigned wavelength. The antenna is realized by a metallized surface, which is excited relative to the circuit board of the device. The adaptation is carried out with the aid of two filters, one of which is intended for the transmitter and one for the receiver. By using an additional shielding plate, it is possible to minimize the influence of a user's hand on the signal transmission by adapting the antenna. In particular, the switches required are removed from the area of the antenna.
Aus der US 44 91 843 ist es bekannt, eine Antenne aus einer flachen Metallplatte auszubilden, die über dem metallischen Gehäuse des Gerätes angeordnet wird. Der Abstand der Metallplatte zum Gehäuse ist wesentlich kleiner als die Wellenlänge der zu übertragenden Signale. Zur Anpassung ist eine Induktivität vorgesehen.From US 44 91 843 it is known to form an antenna from a flat metal plate, which is arranged over the metallic housing of the device. The distance between the metal plate and the housing is much smaller than the wavelength of the signals to be transmitted. An inductor is provided for adaptation.
In der GB 11 53 870 wird eine Antenne beschrieben, die einen kapazitiv belasteten Strahler zur Reduktion der erforderlichen Bauhöhe aufweist. Der Betrieb der Antenne erfolgt als Parallelplattenkondensator.GB 11 53 870 describes an antenna which has a capacitively loaded radiator to reduce the required overall height. The antenna is operated as a parallel plate capacitor.
Aus der GB 20 66 580 ist es bekannt, eine kapazitiv belastete Antenne über einer Scheibe anzuordnen, die als Grundfläche vorgesehen ist. Zur Anpassung wird eine Leitung verwendet, die als Teil eines Filter realisiert sein kann.From GB 20 66 580 it is known to arrange a capacitively loaded antenna over a pane which is provided as the base. A line is used for adaptation, which can be implemented as part of a filter.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Antenne der einleitend genannten Art derart zu konstruieren, daß bei einem kompakten und preiswerten Aufbau eine qualitativ hochwertige Signalübertragung erfolgen kann.The object of the present invention is to construct an antenna of the type mentioned in the introduction in such a way that that high quality signal transmission can take place with a compact and inexpensive construction.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Antenne mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by an antenna with the features of the characterizing part of
Die erfindungsgemäße Antenne wird als kurze lineare Antenne mit Kopfkapazität ausgeführt. Am Antennenfußpunkt ist eine Verlängerungsspule vorgesehen, die zusammen mit der Kopfkapazität den Frequenzbereich der Antenne bestimmt. Zur Anpassung der Antenne an die Impedanz der Speiseleitung wird die Verlängerungsspule mit einem Abgriff versehen (Spartransformator). Die Speisung erfolgt dann zwischen dem Fußpunkt und dem Abgriff der Verlängerungsspule. Eine Verwendung kann insbesondere im Frequenzbereich zwischen 875 und 960 Mhz erfolgen.The antenna according to the invention is designed as a short linear antenna with head capacitance. An extension coil is provided at the antenna base, which, together with the head capacitance, determines the frequency range of the antenna. To adapt the antenna to the impedance of the feed line, the extension coil is provided with a tap (autotransformer). The feed then takes place between the base point and the tap of the extension coil. They can be used in particular in the frequency range between 875 and 960 MHz.
Die Unteransprüche 2 bis 4 betreffen besondere erfindungsgemäße Gestaltungen der Antenne nach Anspruch 1.The
Die Kopfkapazität der erfindungsgemäßen Antenne wird insbesondere durch eine flexible Folie gebildet. Als Folie kann eine Metallfolie verwendet werden. Speziell sollen jedoch metallisierte Kunststoffolien zum Einsatz kommen. Vorteilhafterweise wird die metallisierte Folie zur Vergrößerung der Kopfkapazität umgebogen. Die Biegelinie der Folie soll dabei etwa u-förmig sein.The head capacity of the antenna according to the invention is formed in particular by a flexible film. A metal foil can be used as the foil. In particular, however, metallized plastic films are to be used. The metallized film is advantageously bent to increase the head capacity. The bending line of the film should be approximately U-shaped.
Als besonders vorteilhaft wird es angesehen, entweder die gesamte Schaltung bis auf das Antennengegengewicht (z.B. elektrisch leitende Grundfläche) oder auch das Antennengegengewicht selber auf der flexiblen Folie insbesondere aus Kunststoff durch Aufbringen einer Metallisierungsschicht zu realisieren. Bei dieser Ausführung ist dann die Kopfkapazität als relativ großflächiger metallisierter Bereich auf der Folie ausgebildet . Demgegenüber sind Verlängerungsspulen bzw. Spartrafos zur Anpassung als schmalere Leiterbahnen ausgebildet. Die Leiterbahnen werden bis zu den Anschlußpunkten am Antennengegengewicht bzw. dem Mantel einer Koaxialleitung und bis an den Innenleiter der Koaxialleitung geführt. Das Antennengegengewicht ist dann als großflächig metallisierter Bereich auf der flexiblen Kunststoffolie ausgeführt.It is considered to be particularly advantageous to implement either the entire circuit except for the antenna counterweight (for example an electrically conductive base area) or the antenna counterweight itself on the flexible film, in particular made of plastic, by applying a metallization layer. In this embodiment the head capacity is then relative Large-area metallized area formed on the film. In contrast, extension coils or economy transformers are designed to adapt as narrower conductor tracks. The conductor tracks are routed to the connection points on the antenna counterweight or the jacket of a coaxial line and to the inner conductor of the coaxial line. The antenna counterweight is then designed as a large-area metallized area on the flexible plastic film.
In einer speziellen Ausführung ist vorgesehen, das Antennengegengewicht als Sperrtopf auszubilden. Dafür bekommt das Gegengewicht bzw. die leitende Grundfläche einen Durchmesser, der der Hälfte der Wellenlänge der gewünschten Antennenmittenfrequenz entspricht. Wird die Grundfläche nicht eben, sondern gekrümmt ausgeführt, so soll die Oberfläche jeweils nach einem Viertel der Wellenlänge, vom Fußpunkt der Antenne gesehen, enden. Dadurch fließt am Rand der Grundfläche praktisch kein Strom mehr, und die Grundfläche ist elektrisch von dem Speisekabel und dem Gehäuse entkoppelt.A special embodiment provides for the antenna counterweight to be designed as a locking pot. For this purpose, the counterweight or the conductive base area has a diameter that corresponds to half the wavelength of the desired antenna center frequency. If the base surface is not made flat, but curved, the surface should end after a quarter of the wavelength, as seen from the base point of the antenna. As a result, practically no more current flows at the edge of the base area, and the base area is electrically decoupled from the supply cable and the housing.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführung wird der Sperrtopf als Teil des Gehäuses des Sende- und Empfangsgerätes ausgebildet.In a further advantageous embodiment, the locking pot is designed as part of the housing of the transmitting and receiving device.
Durch Verwendung eines Sperrtopfes wird insbesondere auch die Empfindlichkeit der Antenne gegen ein Verstimmen durch Bewegung des Handgerätes bzw. auch durch die Handhabung selbst verringert.By using a locking pot, the sensitivity of the antenna to detuning caused by movement of the hand-held device or by the handling itself is reduced in particular.
Die erfindungsgemäße Antenne mit Kopfkapazität wird insbesondere für Handgeräte für die Kommunikation nach dem GSM-Standard verwendet.The antenna with head capacity according to the invention is used in particular for handheld devices for communication according to the GSM standard.
Eine detaillierte Beschreibung der erfindungsgemäßen Antenne erfolgt exemplarisch anhand eines Ausführungsbeipiels.A detailed description of the antenna according to the invention is given by way of example using an exemplary embodiment.

Für die Mittenfrequenz (w = 2Pi x 930 MHz) wird der Imaginärteil (j) zu Null. Eine soweit verkürzte Antenne hat einen Strahlungswiderstand von etwa 10 Ohm, und der Verlustwiderstand ist etwa 1 Ohm. Zur Anpassung an eine 50-Ohm-Speiseleitung ist dann ein Übertragungsverhältnis von
erforderlich. Die gemessene Kopfkapazität (2) beträgt etwa 5 pF, und die Induktivität der Verlängerungsspule muß dann bei verschwindendem Imaginärteil
sein. Es ergibt sich für ein Stehwellenverhältnis vswr < 2 eine Bandbreite von 20%. Der Wirkungsgrad (n) berechnet sich mit
zu 91%, was einem Gewinn von - 0,4 dB entspricht.For the center frequency (w = 2Pi x 930 MHz) the imaginary part (j) becomes zero. A shortened antenna has a radiation resistance of about 10 ohms and the loss resistance is about 1 ohms. In order to adapt to a 50-ohm feed line, a transmission ratio of
required. The measured head capacitance (2) is about 5 pF, and the inductance of the extension coil must then with a disappearing imaginary part
his. A bandwidth of 20% results for a standing wave ratio vswr <2. The efficiency (n) is also calculated
91%, which corresponds to a gain of - 0.4 dB.
Die gemessenen Werte sind:
- Bandbreite für vswr < 1,5
875 bis 980 MHz entsprechend 11% - Bandbreite für vswr < 2
850 bis 1030 MHz entsprechend 19% - Strahlungsleistung bezogen auf einen Halbwellendipol ca. - 1 dB entsprechend 80% Wirkungsgrad
- Abweichung von der Rundstrahlcharakteristik in der Horizontalen bei vertikaler Polarisation: +/- 1 dB. Dieser Wert hängt stark von der Symmetrie der gesamten Anordnung und besonders des Gegengewichtes ab.
- Bandwidth for vswr <1.5
875 to 980 MHz corresponding to 11% - Bandwidth for vswr <2
850 to 1030 MHz corresponding to 19% - Radiant power based on a half-wave dipole approx. - 1 dB corresponding to 80% efficiency
- Deviation from the omnidirectional characteristic in the horizontal with vertical polarization: +/- 1 dB. This value strongly depends on the symmetry of the entire arrangement and especially the counterweight.
