Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an antenna of the type for portable radio device, and in particular for radiotelephone, as well as a method of manufacturing a such an antenna and that a portable radio device comprising such an antenna.
  • This antenna is intended to transmit and receive radio signals.
  • extractable strands currently known are generally substantially cylindrical, so they occupy too much volume in the housing radiotelephone.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to create an antenna for a portable radio device, efficiency is increased compared to antennas of this type currently known.
  • Another object of the present invention is to achieve an antenna of the previous type which occupies a volume at inside the weakest wearable device possible.
  • Another object of the present invention is to make a previous type antenna in which the strand extractable as independent as possible from the housing associated radio device.
  • the present invention provides for this purpose an antenna of the type for portable radio device, according to claim 1.
  • the antenna 1 comprises a helical antenna 2 5 and an extractable strand 3.
  • the helical antenna 2 is partly housed in a recess 4 of a radiotelephone case 5, partially shown in Figure 1.
  • the housing 5 consists of a insulating material, possibly metallized, and has a shape substantially parallelepiped.
  • an antenna box 6 shown in broken lines whose base comes complete the recess 4 is used.
  • the helical antenna 2 is fully inserted in the antenna housing 6, and exceeds about three-quarters of its height beyond the housing 5 of the radiotelephone.
  • a mandrel support 7 made of an insulating material, substantially shaped cylindrical, on the outside surface of which has been deposited by a conventional metal deposition process, a propeller 8.
  • the pitch of the propeller 8 is variable and decreases from its base 8B to its apex 8A.
  • the width of the track electric constituting the propeller 8 is also variable and decreases from base 8B to top 8A.
  • the electrical length of the propeller 8 is substantially equal to half the average wavelength use.
  • the base 8B of the propeller 8, located at the base of the mandrel 7, is connected by means of a tongue interconnection 9 to a coaxial cable 10 supplying the helical antenna 2 located in the housing 5 of the radiotelephone and also connected to the transmitter / receiver of the latter (not shown).
  • a positioning ring 11 (shown in broken lines) made of an insulating material, intended to center and maintain the helical antenna 2.
  • the extractable strand 3 consists of a ribbon metal 12 with a very flat C-shaped section (see Figures 2 and 9), which we will describe as flat.
  • the length electrical tape 12 is approximately equal to half of the average wavelength of use. Ribbon 12 is in additionally inserted into a covering 13 made of an insulating material intended to protect it.
  • the extractable strand 3 comprises in addition a metal element 15 at its top 3A, this element 15 extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the X axis of the propeller 8 (the ribbon 12 extends in a direction substantially parallel to the axis X).
  • the element 15 is also inserted into the covering 13, and it may or may not be electrically connected to the ribbon 12. will explain later its usefulness.
  • the extractable strand 3 can operate in two positions. In a first position (corresponding to that illustrated in Figure 1), it is almost entirely tucked into the antenna housing 6 and into a housing adapted 14 practiced in the housing 5 of the radiotelephone. In this position, antenna 1 is of the quarter wave type (i.e. it uses box 5 as a counterweight electric), and only the helical antenna 2 is then used to the transmission and reception of radio signals.
  • the walls of housing 14 are covered with metal 141 to constitute a shield for extractable strand 3 in retracted position.
  • the strand extractable 3 In a second position (not shown), the strand extractable 3 is fully deployed outside the antenna box 6. In this case there is a coupling capacitive between strand 3 and the top of the antenna helical 2, so the total height of the antenna 1 and its radiation resistance are increased. In this position of the extractable strand 3, the antenna 1 is still quarter wave type.
  • the lower end 13B of the covering 13 is frustoconical with its largest base diameter oriented towards the top of the antenna.
  • the end 13B abuts against the upper wall 14A of the housing 14.
  • a essential characteristic of the present invention resides in the fact that we use a helical antenna whose the propeller is of variable pitch, this pitch decreasing when we approaches the top of the helical antenna, that is to say as the theoretical current in a conventional helical antenna (i.e. pitch and constant width) of the same dimensions decreases.
  • this structure improves efficiency antenna 1 by ensuring better energy transfer, and on the other hand to increase the bandwidth of the antenna 1.
  • this structure makes it possible to establish in the helical antenna 2 a distribution substantially trapezoidal current. This increases the resistance of radiation of the antenna, and therefore its efficiency and its bandwidth.
  • the turns of propeller 8 are in contact with each other at vertex 8A, so that we get at vertex 8A a continuous metallic surface. So the top 8A is rendered capacitive, which provides the distribution substantially trapezoidal of the current and the advantages which result.
  • the turns of the propeller 8 constitute a tight spiraling without however to be in contact with each other. The capacity thus realized is made selfic, which increases the apparent value.
  • achieving a capacity at the top of the helical antenna 2 facilitates and improves the capacitive coupling and adaptation between the latter and the extractable strand 3.
  • variable pitch propeller makes it possible to obtain optimal adaptation and coupling conditions in two operating modes (strand retracted or deployed).
  • FIG. 6A very schematically, a helical antenna 62 with pitch and width constant, according to the prior art.
  • Curve 63 in Figure 6B represents the intensity of the current i as a function of the height h along the X axis of the helical antenna 62.
  • Figure 6C shows the diagram equivalent of antenna 62: this antenna is equivalent to one pure inductance 64.
  • FIG. 7A very schematically, a helical antenna 72 which could be used instead of the helical antenna 2 of FIG. 1.
  • the turns of antenna 72 are in contact with each other at top of the latter so as to constitute a continuous metallization.
  • Curve 73 of Figure 78 which represents the intensity of the current i as a function of the height h along the X axis, shows that the distribution of current tends towards a trapezoidal shape.
  • Figure 7C which represents the equivalent diagram of antenna 72, illustrates that the latter is equivalent to an inductance 74 in series with capacity 75.
  • FIG. 8A very schematic, a helical antenna 82 which could be used in instead of the helical antenna 2 in FIG. 1.
  • the turns of antenna 82 are in contact with each other others at the top of the latter so as to constitute continuous metallization, and tightened without being contact with each other immediately before to reach the top.
  • the rest of the propeller is not constant.
  • the curve 83 of FIG. 8B which represents the intensity of the current i as a function of the height h according to the X axis, shows that the current distribution tends to more and more (compared to Figure 7B) towards a form trapezoidal.
  • Figure 8C which shows the diagram equivalent of antenna 82, illustrates that the latter equivalent to a first inductance 84 (corresponding to the part of the propeller with constant pitch), in series with a second inductor 85 (corresponding to the part of tight pitch propeller) and with capacity 86 (corresponding at the top of the propeller where the turns are in contact with each other with the others).
  • the helical antenna 2 shown in Figure 1 illustrates the principles which have just been exposed. She is shown schematically in Figure 3A, and accompanied by FIG. 3B of the corresponding curve 33 representing the intensity of the current i as a function of the height according to the X axis. Note that the area between the curve 33 and the coordinate axes is further increased by relative to the surface corresponding to FIGS. 7B or 8B. This has the effect of increasing the radiation resistance and therefore the efficiency and bandwidth of the antenna.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show the diagrams antenna 1 equivalents respectively when the strand extractable 3 is in the retracted position and when in deployed position.
  • Increasing the height of antenna 1 by deploying the extractable strand 3 improves, in a known manner, the efficiency of the antenna, by increasing its effective height and its radiation resistance.
  • the extractable strand 3 is not necessarily located outside the helical antenna 2; indeed, if the support mandrel is hollow, the strand extractable can be inside the mandrel 7, this which has the advantage of saving space additional.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 also show possible variants for the extractable strand 3.
  • Figure 10 shows a variant usable in place of the tape 12 of the extractable strand 3 of the Figures 1, 2 and 9 (element 15 has not been shown in figure 10).
  • metallic tape 12 instead of using metallic tape 12, uses a metallic conductive line 1012 deposited from so as to form a crenellated line on a film in one insulating material constituting part of the covering 13.
  • the line 1012 is embedded in the covering 13.
  • Such a structure shortens the effective length of the strand extractable 3, while maintaining an electrical length equal to half the wavelength. This allows decrease the space occupied by the extractable strand 3 to inside of the radiotelephone case 5.
  • a metallic wire can be used 1112 having a crushed spring structure producing a tile effect without contact between the turns.
  • the spring 1112 is also embedded in a coating 13 made of an insulating material, and the advantages it provides are identical to those obtained with line 1012.
  • All these structures for the extractable strand 3 (ribbon 12, line 1012, spring 1112) reduce more or less the size of the extractable strand 3 in the radiotelephone case 5, which leaves more space for other essential elements of the latter.
  • the insulating material constituting the covering 13 will be chosen at both to give strand 3 flexibility and to ensure sufficient mechanical strength for protect the metal part it contains.
  • the upper metal part of strand 3, located immediately before the capacitive element 15, is connected to this last by an inductive structure 16. This allows improve the efficiency in the deployed position of the strand extractable 3.
  • the helical antenna 2 as well as all the variants which have been described, can be made by metallic deposition on a support mandrel 7.
  • the propeller can thus be obtained according to any method classic (metallization then screen printing, metallization then masking and photolithography, according to the method described in patent application EP-0 465 658, etc.).
  • the propeller can be made on the external surface or internal of a mandrel made of an insulating material (when this mandrel is tubular).
  • a mandrel made of an insulating material (when this mandrel is tubular).
  • the metallization will be covered with a protective coating (not shown).
  • the thickness of the mandrel wall preferably be low, to facilitate coupling possible capacitive with an extractable strand. Moreover, he it may be necessary to ensure the rigidity of the antenna helical thus obtained by inserting into the mandrel a any reinforcement piece of insulating material.
  • the proposed method of making propeller 8 by metallization is advantageous because it makes the very compact helical antenna 2, which allows this last to occupy as little space as possible inside of the radiotelephone case 5.
  • the reproducibility of the propeller thus produced is better compared to using a wound wire.
  • the flexible film 20 can be constituted in particular from Kapton, Mylar or Duroid (registered trademarks).
  • Her form constitutes the developed form of the final form that we want to give to the helical antenna.
  • Film 20 has metallized vias for this purpose 22, and on its face opposite to that comprising the pattern 21, around the metallized vias 22, metallized pellets 23 (see figure 14B) intended to ensure continuity of the whole.
  • the film 20 is assembled by welding on a mandrel (not shown) of desired shape (see figure 14B).
  • This method has the advantage of being simpler work (depositing on a flat surface is more simple to realize that depositing on a surface of revolution), and allow to give to the antenna helical any shape (frustoconical, cylindrical, of rectangular section, etc ).
  • the film 20 has a "tab" at its upper part 24 rectangular, with an area smaller than that of film 20, on which also shows a metallization pattern 25 comprising a full central part 26, surrounded by a spiraling 27.
  • This tab 24 is intended to be folded down right angle when assembling film 20 on a form rectangular with rounded corners.
  • the central part full 26 will then constitute the capacitive apex of the antenna helical, and spiraling the high inductance part.
  • the tab 24 can be entirely metallized by solid metallization.
  • the lower recess 28 of the film 20 will serve to make the interconnection tab with the coaxial cable Power.

  • the propeller 138 has two portions 138A and 138B.
  • the 138A portion is consisting of a 1381 metallization, for example on the outer surface of the mandrel 7, of width and pitch variable so as to achieve a capacitive peak and a high inductance, in the same way as in figure 1.
  • the part 138B includes a metallization 1382 on the surface exterior extending metallization 1381 but having a constant pitch and width, and metallization corresponding 1383 on the inner surface of the mandrel 7 (tubular) opposite metallization 1382 and wider than the latter.
