Definitions

  • This invention relates to an antenna arrangement, particularly suitable for use in wideband telephone applications.
  • a coil antenna (sometimes referred to as a "helical antenna”) offers a relatively compact configuration suitable for use with portable radio telephones where size and weight are important considerations.
  • US patent No. 4,868,576 discloses a retractable antenna arrangement for a portable radio transceiver, including a fixed antenna coil and a retractable whip antenna extending through the antenna coil.
  • European patent application EP-A-0,467,822 relates to a retractable antenna arrangement for a CT2 cordless telephone, and includes an antenna coil carried by an extendable antenna rod. In the extended position a switching device causes the antenna coil to be disconnected so that only the antenna rod is operative, but in the retracted position the antenna rod is disconnected in favour of the antenna coil. Also, our co-pending British patent application no.
  • 9115134 (our ref: PAT 91011) relates to an antenna assembly comprising an elongate antenna element mounted in a support and movable between a retracted position and an extended position.
  • a helical antenna element is carried by one end of the elongate element.
  • the elongate antenna element is automatically rendered inactive as a radiating element by movement to the retracted position.
  • the bandwidth of a coil antenna is relatively narrow. This may not be a problem in analogue systems where the total operating bandwidth is relatively narrow, i.e. where the duplex separation (between the transmit and receive bands) is low, e.g. 45 MHz.
  • the digital cellular system proposed for Japan has a much higher duplex separation of 130 MHz. In this case a single helical antenna cannot be used because of its limited bandwidth.
  • an antenna arrangement for a wideband transceiver comprising a first antenna coil tuned to include a first frequency, and a second antenna coil tuned to include a second frequency different to the first frequency.
  • An antenna arrangement in accordance with the invention has the advantage that it permits coil antennas to be used, even in a wideband system. Even though two seperate coils are required, the overall arrangement may nevertheless be relatively compact. To this end both coils are preferably enclosed within a common housing.
  • one of the antenna coils is used for reception and is tuned to the receive frequency, and the other is used for transmission and is tuned to the transmit frequency.
  • the two antenna coils may be disposed in various configurations, preferably on a common axis.
  • the two coils may be disposed in line.
  • the diameter of the two coils may be the same or different.
  • the two coils may be arranged concentrically, one within the other. In this case the inner coil would have a smaller diameter than the outer coil.
  • the two coils may be interwound, in which case they would both have substantially the same diameter.
  • one or both of the antenna coils need not have a uniform diameter, but may instead have a gradually increasing diameter. In this case the antenna coil(s) would be in the form of a helix.
  • the portable two-way radio in Figure 1 is a cellular telephone for use in a wideband cellular system such as the digital cellular system currently proposed for Japan.
  • the telephone has a main housing 1 enclosing a transceiver 2.
  • a pair of antenna coils 3,4 are provided in a common housing 10 outside the main housing 1 on the top wall thereof.
  • the housing 10 may for example be a plastics encapsulation, and may be formed either as a discrete housing or integrally with the main housing 1.
  • the two antenna coils are disposed in line (i.e. one above the other) on a common axis.
  • the upper antenna coil 3 is coupled to the transmitter 5 of the transceiver 2 via a duplex filter 7, and the lower antenna coil 4 is coupled to the receiver 6 of the transceiver 2 via the duplex filter 7.
  • the electrical length of the two antenna coils 3,4 is chosen so that the upper antenna coil 3 is a quarter-wavelength at the transmission frequency of the transceiver 2, and the lower antenna coil 4 is a quarter-wavelength at the receive frequency of the transceiver 2.
  • the transmission band is 940-856 MHz and the receive band is 810-826 MHz.
  • the upper antenna coil 3 may be tuned to 948 MHz, this being the centre frequency of the transmission band; and the lower antenna coil may be tuned to 818 MHz, this being the centre frequency of the receive band.
  • the transmitting antenna coil 3 is above the receiving antenna coil 4, because the Applicant at present believes this will give better transmission performance since the antenna coil 3 is further removed from the metal ordinarily found within the telephone.
  • the two antenna coils it is possible for the two antenna coils to be interchanged so that the receive antenna coil is disposed above the transmit antenna coil.
  • the two antenna coils 3,4 have a common feed 8 to and from the duplex filter 7.
  • the length of the portion 8a of the transmission feed for the antenna coil 3, which extends through the receive antenna coil 4, is selected to present an open circuit to the transmission antenna 3.
  • THe antenna coils 3,4 can be designed to match to 50 ohms so that impedance matching may not be required.
  • the telephone may comprise a second, receive antenna 9.
  • the second receive antenna 9 may have any suitable form and is disposed within the main housing 1.
  • the second receive antenna 9 is coupled to the receiver section 6 of the transceiver 2.
  • the transmit antenna 30 has a larger diameter than the receive antenna 40 and the two antenna coils are disposed concentrically with the receive antenna coil 40 within the transmit antenna coil 30.
  • the electrical length of the inner (receive) antenna 40 is greater than that of the outer (transmit) antenna coil 30, and so the axial length of the inner coil is greater than the outer coil 30.
  • the inner coil 40 extends beyond the outer coil 30.
  • the transmission antenna coil may be disposed within the receive antenna coil in which case the diameters may be selected so that the axial length of the two coils is substantially the same.
  • one or both of the antenna coils need not have a uniform diameter, but may instead be in the form of a helix, i.e. with a gradually increasing diameter.
  • the dual coil assembly may be carried by a retractable antenna rod in a manner analogous to that disclosed in the aforementioned European patent application EP-A-0,467,822 or British patent application no. 9115134.
  • both of the antenna coils would be decoupled when the antenna rod is extended, but coupled to the transceiver when the antenna rod is retracted.
  • both antenna coils may be provided inside rather than outside the main housing of the radiotelephone.
