Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Winkelverbindungselement gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an angle connector according to the preamble of claim 1.

In der Elektrotechnik besteht häufig das Problem, planare Strukturen, wie Leiterplatten oder Schaltungsträger, mit Koaxialstrukturen zu verbinden. Das elektrische Übertragungsverhalten derartiger Verbindungen ist jedoch häufig nur äußerst ungenau vorherzubestimmen, da die elektromagnetischen Felder einer Koaxialstruktur mit denjenigen einer planaren Leiterplattenstruktur nicht übereinstimmen. Die Folge hiervon sind vom Bezugswiderstand abweichende Impedanzen im Verbindungsbereich, was zu Übertragungs- und Leistungseinbrüchen führen kann. Diese Probleme vergrößern sich noch, wenn Übertragungen im Gigahertz-Bereich vorzunehmen sind, d.h. in höheren Frequenzbereichen, da dort selbst kleinste Streuverluste, die aufgrund schlechter Verbindungen entstehen können, große Auswirkungen auf den Leistungsbereich eines elektrischen bzw. elektronischen Gerätes haben.In electrical engineering there is often the problem of planar Structures, such as circuit boards or circuit boards, with To connect coaxial structures. The electrical transmission behavior however, such connections are common can only be determined with extreme imprecision because the electromagnetic Fields of a coaxial structure with those of one planar PCB structure do not match. The As a result, impedances deviate from the reference resistance in the connection area, leading to transmission and performance drops can lead. Extend these problems still when making transmissions in the gigahertz range are, i.e. in higher frequency ranges because there even the smallest wastage due to poor connections can have a major impact on the performance area an electrical or electronic device to have.

Es sind Winkelstecker für den Übergang von einer Koaxialstruktur auf eine planare Struktur, wie einer Leiterplatte oder einem planaren Schaltungsträger, bekannt. Diese bekannten Winkelstecker sind jedoch nicht impedanzkontrolliert, d.h. die Anschlüsse auf der Planarstrukturseite unterliegen nicht den Dimensionierungsrichtlinien für ein Wellenleitersystem, wie z.B. eine Mikrostreifenleitung.They are angled plugs for the transition from a coaxial structure on a planar structure, like a circuit board or a planar circuit carrier is known. These well-known However, angled plugs are not impedance controlled, i.e. the connections on the planar structure side are subject not the sizing guidelines for one Waveguide system, e.g. a microstrip line.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Winkelverbindungselement zu schaffen, welches einen impedanzkontrollierten Aufbau bei möglichst kleiner Bauform ermöglicht sowie einfach und kostengünstig herzustellen und zu montieren ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of an angular connecting element to create which is an impedance controlled Construction possible with the smallest possible design as well as simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble is.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Ein Winkelverbindungselement nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 ist aus den Druckschriften US-A-5394119 and US-A4631505 bekannt. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved by the features of the claim 1 solved. An angle connector according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US-A-5394119 and US-A4631505. Advantageous embodiments the invention are described in the further claims.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Winkelverbindungselement ist das planarstrukturseitige Anschlußteil als planarer Wellenleiter ausgebildet, der innerhalb des Außenumfangs des Winkelverbindungselements mit dem koaxialstrukturseitigen Anschlußteil verbunden ist.In the angle connector according to the invention is the connection part on the planar structure formed as a planar waveguide within the Outer periphery of the angle connector with the coaxial structure side Connection part is connected.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Winkelverbindungselement wird somit das planarstrukturseitige Anschlußteil in gleicher oder ganz ähnlicher Weise wie die Leiterbahn der planaren Struktur ausgeführt und der eigentliche Übergang von der planaren Struktur auf die Koaxialstruktur in das Winkelverbindungselement hineinverlegt. Hierdurch ist es möglich, daß bereits der Hersteller das planarstrukturseitige Anschlußteil gemäß den Richtlinien einer planaren Leitung realisiert und die Komponenten des Winkelverbindungselements derart optimiert, daß eine sehr dispersionsarme Leitung realisiert wird, mit der breitbandige digitale Signale verzerrungsfrei übertragen werden können. Die Reflexionsdämpfung von derartig realisierten Winkelverbindungselementen ist sehr groß, wogegen die Transmissionsverluste sehr gering sind.In the angular connecting element according to the invention the planar structure-side connector in the same or very similar to the track of the planar structure executed and the actual transition from the planar Structure on the coaxial structure in the angle connector relocated. This makes it possible for the manufacturer already has the connecting part on the planar structure side realized according to the guidelines of a planar line and the components of the angle connector optimized in such a way that a very low-dispersion line is realized with which broadband digital signals are distortion-free can be transferred. The reflection loss of such angled connecting elements is very large, whereas the transmission losses are very low are.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist, daß das erfindungsgemäße Winkelverbindungselement ohne weiteres derart ausgebildet werden kann, daß es bereits über Preßdruck mit der dazugehörigen Leiterbahn kontaktiert wird und folglich als Meßkopf in Meßvorrichtungen einsetzbar ist. Dies hat den großen Vorteil, daß der Anwender seine Schaltung in der Entwicklungsphase wie auch später in der Herstellung mit der gleichen Ausgangsimpedanz abschließen kann. Dem Anwender steht somit eine Meßtechnik zur Verfügung, die den realen Bedingungen der späteren Realisierung entspricht, d.h. der Anwender kann mit einer derartigen Meßspitze die Schaltung genauso abschließen, wie er sie ansonsten durch das Einlöten des Winkelverbindungselements abschließen kann.It is particularly advantageous that the angle connector according to the invention can be easily formed in this way can that it already has pressure associated with it Conductor is contacted and consequently as a measuring head in Measuring devices can be used. This has the great advantage that the user of his circuit in the development phase as later in the production with the same Can complete output impedance. The user is thus a measurement technique is available that meets the real conditions corresponds to the later realization, i.e. the user can with such a probe the circuit as well complete the way he would otherwise by soldering the Can complete angle connector.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das planarstrukturseitige Anschlußteil senkrecht zur planaren Struktur angeordnet, wobei es stirnseitig auf die planare Struktur aufsetzbar ist.The connecting part on the planar structure side is advantageous arranged perpendicular to the planar structure, whereby it can be placed on the face of the planar structure.

Zweckmäßigerweise wird das planarstrukturseitige Anschlußteil auf einem Substrat, insbesondere Polytetrafluoräthylen (Teflon), aufgebracht.The connecting part on the planar structure side is expediently on a substrate, especially polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon), applied.

Besonders günstige elektrische Übertragungseigenschaften ergeben sich, wenn das planarstrukturseitige Anschlußteil zumindest an der Kontaktierungsstelle im wesentlichen die gleiche Breite wie die Leiterbahn aufweist. Particularly favorable electrical transmission properties arise when the planar structure-side connection part essentially at least at the contact point has the same width as the conductor track.

Vorteilhafterweise verläuft das gesamte planarstrukturseitige Anschlußteil innerhalb der Außenkontur eines Gehäuses des Winkelverbindungselements. Hierdurch kann einerseits für das planarstrukturseitige Anschlußteil ein gewisser Schutz vor Beschädigungen erreicht werden. Andererseits kann auch das Gehäuse derart gestaltet werden, daß die gewünschten elektrischen und magnetischen Eigenschaften im Umfeld des planarstrukturseitigen Anschlußteils erreicht werden.The entire planar structure side advantageously runs Connection part within the outer contour of a housing of the angle connector. This can on the one hand a certain one for the connecting part on the planar structure Protection against damage can be achieved. On the other hand can also be designed so that the desired electrical and magnetic properties in Surroundings of the planar structure-side connection part reached become.

Das erfindungsgemäße Winkelverbindungselement ermöglicht eine dispersionsarme Übertragung der Signale, was insbesondere für digitale Signale entscheidend ist. Sowohl für die Übertragung analoger als auch digitaler Signale gilt, daß das erfindungsgemäße Winkelverbindungselement über einen weiten Frequenzbereich, vom Gleichstrom bis in den Mikrowellenbereich, eine sehr gute Anpassung aufweist. Weiterhin ist der erfindungsgemäße Winkelstecker im Bereich des planarstrukturseitigen Anschlußteils so ausgelegt, daß dieses auch allein durch Andrücken kontaktiert werden kann, wodurch die Möglichkeit gegeben ist, daß das Winkelverbindungselement als Meßspitze in mechanischen Positioniereinheiten eingesetzt werden kann. Damit stehen Meßspitzen zur Verfügung, die nahezu die gleichen elektrischen Eigenschaften wie die an der planaren Struktur zu befestigenden Winkelverbindungselemente aufweisen.The angle connection element according to the invention enables a low-dispersion Transmission of the signals, which is especially for digital signals is crucial. Both for transmission Analog and digital signals apply that the invention Angular connector over a wide Frequency range, from direct current to the microwave range, has a very good fit. Still is the angled connector according to the invention in the area of the planar structure Connection part designed so that this can also be contacted simply by pressing, whereby there is the possibility that the angle connector as a measuring tip in mechanical positioning units can be used. So measuring tips are available Available that have almost the same electrical properties like the angle connectors to be attached to the planar structure exhibit.

Eine sichere Verbindung zwischen dem Winkelverbindungselement und der Koaxialleitung ergibt sich, wenn am koaxialstrukturseitigen Endbereich ein Schraub- oder Klemmanschluß zur Befestigung der Koaxialleitung vorgesehen ist.A secure connection between the angle connector and the coaxial line results when on the coaxial structure side End area a screw or clamp connection is provided for fastening the coaxial line.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise näher erläutert. In dieser zeigen:

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, for example. In this show:
Fig. 1
a perspective view of the angle connector according to the invention and
Fig. 2
a vertical, central longitudinal section through the angle connecting element with a circuit board arranged below it.

Wie aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich, weist das dargestellte Winkelverbindungselement ein im wesentlichen würfelförmiges Gehäuse 1 auf, in dem sich ein Koaxialanschluß 2 befindet. Der Koaxialanschluß 2 besteht aus einer mittig im Gehäuse 1 angeordneten, horizontalen gestuften Koaxialbohrung 3, in die mittig ein horizontales koaxialstrukturseitiges Anschlußteil 4 in Form eines Stiftes ragt. Der Koaxialanschluß 2 ist zur Rückseite 5 des Gehäuses 1 hin offen. Wenn daher von dort ein bekannter Koaxialstecker in die Koaxialbohrung 3 eingeführt wird, wird der Innenleiter des Koaxialsteckers mit dem Stift 4 kontaktiert.As can be seen from the drawing, this shows shown an angular connector essentially cube-shaped housing 1, in which there is a coaxial connection 2 is located. The coaxial connector 2 consists of a arranged horizontally in the middle of the housing 1 Coaxial bore 3, in the middle of a horizontal coaxial structure Connection part 4 protrudes in the form of a pin. The coaxial connection 2 is to the rear 5 of the housing 1 open towards. Therefore, if from there a known coaxial connector is inserted into the coaxial bore 3, the inner conductor of the coaxial connector with the pin 4 contacted.

An seiner Vorderseite 6 weist das Gehäuse 1 eine Vertiefung 7 auf, in die ein vertikal ausgerichtetes, plattenförmiges Substrat 8 eingelegt ist. Auf dem Substrat 8 ist ein planares leiterbahnförmiges Anschlußteil 9 aufgebracht, das sich von einem Bereich, der in der Nähe des Bodens 10 des Gehäuses 1 liegt, vertikal nach oben bis zum Stift 4 erstreckt.The housing 1 has a recess on its front side 6 7, into which a vertically aligned, plate-shaped Substrate 8 is inserted. On the substrate 8 is a planar one applied conductor-shaped connecting part 9, which itself from an area near the bottom 10 of the housing 1 is located, extends vertically up to pin 4.

Der Stift 4 des Koaxialanschlusses 2 ist durch eine horizontale Bohrung 11 des Substrats 8 hindurchgeführt und steht mit dem planaren Anschlußteil 9 in Verbindung. The pin 4 of the coaxial connector 2 is horizontal Bore 11 of the substrate 8 passed and communicates with the planar connector 9.

Das Substrat 8 wird an denjenigen Stellen, die nicht vom planaren Anschlußteil 9 belegt sind, von einem Deckel 12 abgedeckt.The substrate 8 is in those places that are not from planar connecting part 9 are occupied by a cover 12 covered.

Das planare Anschlußteil 9 und das vorzugsweise aus Polytetrafluoräthylen (Teflon) bestehende Substrat 8 bilden einen planaren Wellenleiter.The planar connector 9 and preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) existing substrate 8 form a planar waveguide.

Aus Fig. 2 geht hervor, daß bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform nur eine koplanare Wellenleitung stattfindet, wobei der untere Teil 13 des Gehäuses 1 einen geringfügigen Abstand zum Substrat 8 aufweist. Würde man das Gehäuse 1 symmetrisch ausführen, d.h., daß das untere Gehäuseteil 13 an das Substrat 8 anschließt, könnte entweder eine Tri-Plate-Leitung oder eine Mikrostreifenleitung dimensioniert werden.From Fig. 2 it appears that in the illustrated embodiment only a coplanar waveguide takes place, whereby the lower part 13 of the housing 1 a slight Has distance from the substrate 8. Would the housing 1 symmetrical, i.e. that the lower housing part 13 connecting to the substrate 8 could either be a tri-plate line or dimensioned a microstrip line become.

Das in Fig. 2 gezeigte Winkelverbindungselement ist derart ausgebildet, daß es auf eine planare Struktur in Form einer Leiterplatte 14 aufgesetzt werden kann. Der planare Wellenleiter 9 liegt im montierten Zustand des Winkelverbindungselements stirnseitig auf einer Leiterbahn 15 der Leiterplatte 14 auf und ist mit der Leiterbahn 15 mittels einer Lötverbindung 16 verbunden. Das Substrat 8 erstreckt sich dagegen nicht vollständig bis zur Leiterbahn 15, so daß ein in Fig. 2 gezeigter Freiraum 23 verbleibt, in den die Leiterbahn 15 vorstehen kann.The angled connector shown in Fig. 2 is such trained that it is on a planar structure in the form of a Printed circuit board 14 can be placed. The planar waveguide 9 lies in the assembled state of the angle connecting element face on a conductor 15 of the circuit board 14 and is connected to the conductor track 15 by means of a Solder connection 16 connected. The substrate 8 extends on the other hand not completely up to the conductor track 15, so that a In FIG. 2, the free space 23 remains, into which the conductor track 15 can protrude.

Von Bedeutung ist, daß der planare Anschluß des Winkelverbindungselements, d.h. der Wellenleiter 9 und das darunter liegende Substrat 8, gemäß den Richtlinien einer planaren Leitung realisiert wird. Beispiele hierfür sind Mikrostreifenleitungen, koplanare Leitungen oder Tri-Plate-Leitungen.It is important that the planar connection of the angle connection element, i.e. the waveguide 9 and the one below it lying substrate 8, according to the guidelines of a planar Line is realized. Examples include microstrip lines, coplanar lines or tri-plate lines.
