Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fensterverglasung, bestehend aus einer Doppelverglasung mit abgedichtetem Zwischenraum, bei der im Bereich der Außenscheibe eine lichtdurchlässige Schicht mit definiertem Oberflächenwiderstand angeordnet ist und bei der die Innenscheibe mit einer radarreflektierenden Schicht versehen ist.The invention relates to window glazing, consisting of double glazing with a sealed intermediate space, in which a translucent layer with a defined surface resistance is arranged in the region of the outer pane and in which the inner pane is provided with a radar-reflecting layer.

Aus der DE 40 08 660 C2 ist eine Bauweise für Fensterverglasungen bekannt geworden, die eine homogene radarabsorbierende Schicht an der Außenscheibe aufweist. Bei der Herstellung einer derartigen Verglasung ergibt sich jedoch das Problem, daß die aufgedampfte Metallschicht nur schwer mit der für den exakten Oberflächenwiderstandswert von etwa 452 Ω/ notwendigen Präzision herstellbar sind. Weiterhin ist eilte Qualitätsprüfung der technischen Eigenschaften der Verglasung nur mit speziellen Prüfeinrichtungen möglich.From DE 40 08 660 C2, a design for window glazing has become known which has a homogeneous radar-absorbing layer on the outer pane. When producing such glazing, however, there is the problem that the evaporated metal layer can only be produced with difficulty with the precision required for the exact surface resistance value of approximately 452 Ω / . Furthermore, urgent quality testing of the technical properties of the glazing is only possible with special test equipment.

Das Patent P 42 27 032 beschreibt eine Fensterverglasung, bei der die im Bereich der Außenscheibe angeordnete Schicht aus parallel zueinander angeordneten Drähten besteht, die in einem bestimmten Winkel zur Polarisationsrichtung der einfallenden elektromagnetischen Strahlung angeordnet sind, um die Reflexions- und Absorptionseigenschaften der an der Außenscheibe befindlichen Schicht gegenüber der radarreflektierenden Schicht an der Innenscheibe abzustimmen. Dabei treten jedoch Probleme aufgrund des aufwendigen Herstellverfahrens für parallel angeordnete Drähte auf, wodurch als Folge davon die Herstellkosten hoch ausfallen. Außerdem wirken auch Drähte mit sehr kleinem Durchmesser beim Blick durch die Verglasung störend.The patent P 42 27 032 describes window glazing in which the layer arranged in the area of the outer pane consists of wires arranged parallel to one another, which are arranged at a certain angle to the direction of polarization of the incident electromagnetic radiation, in order to reflect and reflect the properties of the outer pane Coordinate existing layer with the radar reflecting layer on the inner pane. However, problems arise due to the complex manufacturing process for wires arranged in parallel, as a result of which the manufacturing costs are high. In addition, wires with a very small diameter are annoying when looking through the glazing.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Fensterverglasung gemäß P 42 27 032 dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die Herstellbarkeit vereinfacht wird, daß die Qualitätsprüfung mit einfachen meßtechnischen Geräten durchführbar ist, daß die optischen Eigenschaften der Verglasung verbessert werden und daß die Anpassung der Absorptionseigenschaften an die am Einbauort gegebenen Verhältnisse unter Berücksichtigung der üblichen Fertigungstoleranzen leicht möglich ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to improve the window glazing according to P 42 27 032 in such a way that the manufacturability is simplified, that the quality inspection can be carried out with simple measuring devices, that the optical properties of the glazing are improved and that the adaptation of the Absorption properties to the conditions at the installation site is easily possible taking into account the usual manufacturing tolerances.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Verglasung sind in den kennzeichnenden Teilen der Unteransprüche beschrieben.The object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous refinements of the glazing according to the invention are described in the characterizing parts of the subclaims.

Die besonderen Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Bauweise einer Verglasung liegen einmal in der vereinfachten Herstellbarkeit und konstanten Reproduzierbarkeit sowie in der einfachen Prüfbarkeit der Anordnung. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht diese Bauweise die Verwendung von marktgängigen metallischen Bedampfungen von Gläsern, die einen Oberflächenwiderstandswert aufweisen, der aufgrund der Art der Beschichtung eine nur geringe Streuung vom gewünschten Sollwert des Oberflächenwiderstandes aufweist. Damit läßt sich die erfindungsgemäße Verglasung mit vergleichsweise geringem Aufwand an die am Einbauort vorliegenden Gegebenheiten anpassen.The particular advantages of the glazing construction according to the invention lie in the simplified manufacture and constant reproducibility as well as the simple testability of the arrangement. In addition, this design enables the use of commercially available metallic vapor deposition of glasses which have a surface resistance value which, because of the type of coating, has only a slight scatter from the desired target value of the surface resistance. The glazing according to the invention can thus be adapted to the circumstances at the installation site with comparatively little effort.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is explained in more detail below.

Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt einen Schnitt durch die Verglasung, die aus zwei voneinander getrennten Scheiben 2 und 7 besteht. Dazwischen befindet sich ein evakuierter oder gasgefüllter Zwischenraum 5. Auf der Außenscheibe 2 kann eine Beschichtung 1, beispielsweise zur Tönung der Verglasung, aufgebracht sein. Auf der Innenseite der Außenscheibe 2 sind streifenförmige, alternierend auftretende erste Teilflächen 3 und zweite Teilflächen 4 angeordnet. Die nicht dargestellten Längsachsen der ersten und zweiten Teilflächen 3, 4 verlaufen etwa senkrecht zur Polarisationsrichtung der einfallenden elektromagnetischen Strahlung R. In der Figur liegen die Längsachsen somit etwa lotrecht zur Zeichnungsebene.The only figure in the drawing shows a section through the glazing, which consists of two separate panes 2 and 7. In between there is an evacuated or gas-filled space 5. A coating 1, for example for tinting the glazing, can be applied to the outer pane 2. Strip-shaped, alternating first partial surfaces 3 and second partial surfaces 4 are arranged on the inside of the outer pane 2. The longitudinal axes (not shown) of the first and second partial surfaces 3, 4 run approximately perpendicular to the direction of polarization of the incident electromagnetic radiation R. In the figure, the longitudinal axes are therefore approximately perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.

Die ersten Teilflächen 3 werden durch Aufdampfen von Metallschichten, wie beispielsweise Silber oder Gold, aufgebracht. Die zweiten Teilflächen 4 werden im einfachsten Fall freigelassen. Ansonsten kann eine optisch wirksame Schicht, wie beispielsweise ein Sonnenschutz aus Metalloxiden, aufgedampft sein.The first partial areas 3 are applied by vapor deposition of metal layers, such as silver or gold. The second partial areas 4 are the simplest Case released. Otherwise, an optically effective layer, such as a sunscreen made of metal oxides, can be evaporated.

Bei einer Dimensionierung der Verglasung für eine Betriebsfrequenz von etwa 1 GHz ergeben sich folgende vorteilhafte Bemaßungen. Die Dicke der Außenscheibe 2 beträgt 6 bis 18 mm, die der Innenscheibe 7 etwa 4 bis 12 mm. Die Weite des Zwischenraumes 5 wird im Bereich 8 bis 30 mm gewählt.The dimensions of the glazing for an operating frequency of approximately 1 GHz result in the following advantageous dimensions. The thickness of the outer pane 2 is 6 to 18 mm, that of the inner pane 7 is approximately 4 to 12 mm. The width of the interspace 5 is selected in the range 8 to 30 mm.

Die Ausdehnung der ersten und zweiten Teilflächen 3, 4 senkrecht zur Polarisationsrichtung der elektromagnetischen Strahlung R erstreckt sich über die vorgegebene Ausdehnung der Verglasung. Die Breiten d1 der ersten Teilfläche 3 und d2 der zweiten Teilfläche 4 betragen etwa 30 bis 200 mm. Die Summe der Breiten d1 und d2 muß dabei stets kleiner als die mittlere Wellenlänge Ωo der Betriebsfrequenz sein, um eine antennenartige Anregung der Kanten der Teilflächen auszuschließen.The extent of the first and second sub-areas 3, 4 perpendicular to the direction of polarization of the electromagnetic radiation R extends over the predetermined extent of the glazing. The widths d1 of the first partial surface 3 and d2 of the second partial surface 4 are approximately 30 to 200 mm. The sum of the widths d1 and d2 must always be smaller than the mean wavelength Ω o of the operating frequency in order to rule out an antenna-like excitation of the edges of the partial areas.

Die Dimensionierung der Maße d1 und d2 sowie der Oberflächenwiderstand der ersten Teilfläche 3 beeinflussen wesentlich die Intensität der Reflexionsunterdrückung. Bei einem Oberflächenwiderstandswert der ersten Teilfläche 3 von etwa 10 bis 30 Ω/ kann eine übliche aufgedampfte Wärmeschutzschicht verwendet werden, die eine optisch kaum wahrnehmbare Transmissionsdämpfung zeigt. Bei einem Breitenverhältnis von 2 < d1/d2 < 10

Figure imgb0001
wird ein mittlerer Oberflächenwiderstand von etwa 300 Ω/ erzielt, wobei ca. 38 % der einfallenden elektromagnetischen Strahlung R reflektiert werden. Somit sind unter der Voraussetzung, daß die Schicht der Teilflächen 3 und 4 von der radarreflektierenden Schicht 6 auf der Innenscheibe 7 etwa ein Viertel der Betriebswellenlänge voneinander beabstandet sind, die Bedingungen für einen Jaumann-Absorber erfüllt.The dimensions of the dimensions d1 and d2 as well as the surface resistance of the first partial surface 3 significantly influence the intensity of the reflection suppression. With a surface resistance value of the first partial area 3 of approximately 10 to 30 Ω / , a customary vapor-deposited heat protection layer can be used, which shows a transmission damping that is barely perceptible. With a width ratio of 2 <d1 / d2 <10
Figure imgb0001
an average surface resistance of approximately 300 Ω / □ is achieved, with approximately 38% of the incident electromagnetic radiation R being reflected. Thus, provided that the layer of the partial surfaces 3 and 4 are spaced apart from one another by about a quarter of the operating wavelength from the radar-reflecting layer 6 on the inner pane 7, the conditions for a Jaumann absorber are met.
