This increased security is achieved in a very simple manner.
- Each of the two signal cables is namely continuously connected to every other coupling point. The equipment costs and the structure of the coupling points therefore remain unchanged. Only a second signal cable is needed.

- an AHF cable 1 and a parallel thereto extending signal system 2 to a transmitting and receiving device 3 are connected, which has a transmitter S and a receiver E. and can be equipped with an antenna 4.
- the signal system 2 is according to Fig. 2 from two signal cables 5 and 6, via which RF signals are transmitted with low loss.
- the two fiber optic cables 5 and 6 are connected to coupling points K1 to Kn with the AHF cable 1, in a manner suitable for guiding RF signals.
- "n" is an integer, even number.

- the coming of the transmitting and receiving device 3 RF signals are now fed only via the even coupling points K2 to Kn in the AHF cable 1. This is sufficient with proper sizing but to ensure a sufficiently high reception level along the AHF cable 1. It also remains ensured that RF signals fed into the AHF cable 1 reach the transmitting and receiving device 3.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Übertragung, zur Abstrahlung und zum Empfang von Hochfrequenz-Signalen, bestehend aus einem an eine Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung angeschlossenen System, das aus mindestens einem zur Führung elektromagnetischer Wellen geeigneten Hochfrequenz-Bauteil sowie aus einem parallel zu demselben verlaufenden, ersten Signalkabel aufgebaut ist, bei welcher das Signalkabel jeweils an in Abständen angeordneten Koppelstellen mit dem Hochfrequenz-Bauteil in einer zur Führung der Hochfrequenz-Signale geeigneten Art und Weise verbunden ist (
Derartige Anordnungen werden beispielsweise im Rahmen von Mobilfunksystemen dort eingesetzt, wo eine Nachrichtenverbindung zwischen einer Feststation und einer ortsveränderlichen ,,Station" gewünscht wird. Ein spezielles Einsatzgebiet sind beispielsweise Tunnelstrecken, In denen eine drahtlose Funkübertragung nicht oder nur eingeschränkt möglich ist. Als "Hochfrequenz-Bauteil" wird bei solchen Anordnungen beispielsweise ein abstrahlendes Hochfrequenz-Kabel verwendet, im folgenden "AHF-Kabel" genannt. Das AHF-Kabel kann einteilig ausgeführt, aber auch in Abschnitte unterteilt sein.Such arrangements are used, for example, in the context of mobile radio systems where a communication link between a base station and a mobile "station" is desired. In such arrangements, for example, a radiating high-frequency cable is used, hereinafter referred to as "AHF cable." The AHF cable can be made in one piece, but also divided into sections.
Wegen der abstrahlenden Eigenschaft eines AHF-Kabels kann an jeder Stelle desselben Hochfrequenz(HF)-Energie mittels geeigneter Antennen empfangen oder in dasselbe eingekoppelt werden. Durch diese Ausbildung des Außenleiters werden die HF-Signale allerdings stark gedämpft. Bei längeren Tunnelstrecken müssen daher Zwischenverstärker in das AHF-Kabel eingebaut werden, die den einwandfreien Empfang von HF-Signalen entlang der gesamten Übertragungsstrecke gewährleisten.Because of the radiating nature of an AHF cable, high frequency (RF) energy can be received at any point of the same by means of suitable antennas or into the same be coupled. However, this training of the outer conductor, the RF signals are strongly attenuated. For longer tunnels, therefore, repeaters must be installed in the AHF cable to ensure the correct reception of RF signals along the entire transmission path.
Bei der bekannten Anordnung nach der eingangs erwähnten Druckschrift "Proceedings ..." sind derartige Zwischenverstärker nicht erforderlich. Das hier eingesetzte AHF-Kabel ist in Abschnitte unterteilt, die in Längsrichtung nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Die Abschnitte des AHF-Kabels werden in Abständen paarweise mit dem als optisches Kabel ausgeführten Signalkabel verbunden, und zwar unter Zwischenschaltung von elektro/optischen Wandlern. In den Koppelstellen sind außerdem Verstärker untergebracht, durch welche Senden und Empfang der HF-Signale entlang der beiden jeweils angeschlossenen Abschnitte des AHF-Kabels sichergestellt ist. Diese bekannte Anordnung benötigt viele Einzelteile der Übertragungsstrecke und insbesondere viele aktive Komponenten. Eine Beschädigung der Einzelteile oder ein Ausfall von Komponenten führt zu einer empfindlichen Störung der Signalübertragung. Sie ist dann vollständig unterbrochen, wenn das Signalkabel beschädigt bzw. durchtrennt wird oder wenn die Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung ausfällt.In the known arrangement according to the above-mentioned document "Proceedings ..." such repeaters are not required. The AHF cable used here is divided into sections, which are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction. The sections of the AHF cable are connected in pairs at intervals to the signal cable designed as an optical cable, with the interposition of electro / optical transducers. In the coupling points also amplifiers are housed, by which transmission and reception of the RF signals along the two respectively connected sections of the AHF cable is ensured. This known arrangement requires many individual parts of the transmission path and in particular many active components. Damage to individual parts or failure of components leads to a sensitive interference of the signal transmission. It is then completely interrupted if the signal cable is damaged or severed or if the transmitting and receiving device fails.
Druckschrift "
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Anordnung zur Übertragung, zur Abstrahlung und zum Empfang von Hochfrequenz-Signalen so weiterzubilden, daß das System mit dem abstrahlenden Hochfrequenz-Kabel auch bei einer Beschädigung des Signalkabels funktionsfähig bleibt.The invention has the object of developing the arrangement for transmission, radiation and reception of high-frequency signals so that the system with the radiating high-frequency cable remains functional even if the signal cable is damaged.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst.
- daß parallel zu dem AHF-Kabel und mit wesentlichem räumlichem Abstand zu dem ersten Signalkabel ein zweites Signalkabel angeordnet ist, das ebenfalls an die Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung angeschlossen ist, und
- daß die beiden Signalkabel abwechselnd derart mit dem AHF-Kabel verbunden sind, daß das eine Signalkabel mit allen geradzahligen Koppelstellen und das andere Signalkabel mit allen ungeradzahligen Koppelstellen verbunden ist, mit von der Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung ausgehender, ununterbrochener ganzzahliger Zählung.
- that is arranged parallel to the AHF cable and with a substantial spatial distance from the first signal cable, a second signal cable, which is also connected to the transmitting and receiving device, and
- in that the two signal cables are alternately connected to the AHF cable such that one signal cable is connected to all even coupling points and the other signal cable is connected to all odd coupling points, with continuous integer counting emanating from the transmitting and receiving device.
In dieser Anordnung werden die Informationen jeweils verlustarm über die beiden Signalkabel übertragen. Vom Sender kommende Informationen werden an den Koppelstellen mit einstellbarer Leistung in das AHF-Kabel eingespeist, so daß entlang desselben stets HF-Signale mit ausreichend hohem Pegel empfangen werden können. Die Reichweite der Übertragung kann dadurch ohne den Einsatz von Zwischenverstärkern wesentlich erhöht werden, auch wenn im Verlauf der Übertragungsstrecke eine größere Anzahl von Koppelstellen zwischen dem AHF-Kabel und den beiden Signalkabeln vorhanden ist. Das alles gilt analog auch für in das AHF-Kabel eingespeiste HF-Signale eines Fahrzeugs oder eines tragbaren Funkgeräts.In this arrangement, the information is transmitted in each case with low loss via the two signal cables. Information coming from the transmitter is fed into the AHF cable at the adjustable power coupling points, so that RF signals of sufficiently high level can always be received along the same. The Range of transmission can be significantly increased without the use of repeaters, even if in the course of the transmission line a larger number of coupling points between the AHF cable and the two signal cables is present. The same applies analogously for HF signals of a vehicle or a portable radio device fed into the AHF cable.
Durch das zweite Signalkabel, das vom ersten Signalkabel einen ausreichend großen Abstand hat, wird die Funktionsfähigkeit der Übertragungsstrecke sicherer. Selbst wenn eines der Signalkabel beschädigt oder zerstört wird, bleibt die Funktionsfähigkeit des Systems erhalten, da das AHF-Kabel über das andere Signalkabel weiter mit der Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung verbunden ist. Diese erhöhte Sicherheit wird auf sehr einfache Art und Weise erreicht. Jedes der beiden Signalkabel ist nämlich fortlaufend nur mit jeder zweiten Koppelstelle verbunden. Der Geräteaufwand und der Aufbau der Koppelstellen bleiben daher unverändert. Es wird nur ein zweites Signalkabel benötigt.By the second signal cable, which has a sufficiently large distance from the first signal cable, the functionality of the transmission path is safer. Even if one of the signal cables is damaged or destroyed, the functionality of the system is maintained because the AHF cable continues to be connected to the transmitter and receiver via the other signal cable. This increased security is achieved in a very simple manner. Each of the two signal cables is namely continuously connected to every other coupling point. The equipment costs and the structure of the coupling points therefore remain unchanged. Only a second signal cable is needed.
Jedes der beiden Signalkabel versorgt im Zusammenwirken mit den ihm zugeordneten Koppelstellen Teilstrecken des AHF-Kabels, und zwar in beiden Übertragungsrichtungen. Dabei werden - solange beide Signalkabel funktionsfähig sind - von zwei unterschiedlichen Koppelstellen Signale in jede Teilstrecke des AHF-Kabels eingespeist. In der anderen Übertragungsrichtung laufen vom AHF-Kabel empfangene Signale ebenfalls in zwei die jeweilige Teilstrecke desselben begrenzende Koppelstellen.Each of the two signal cables supplies, in cooperation with its associated coupling points, sections of the AHF cable, in both directions of transmission. Here are - as long as both signal cables are functional - fed from two different coupling points signals in each leg of the AHF cable. In the other transmission direction, signals received by the AHF cable also run into two coupling points delimiting the respective part of the same.
Bei richtiger Bemessung des Abstandes zwischen den Koppelstellen ist auch bei Ausfall eines der Signalkabel sichergestellt, daß die Teilstrecken des AHF-Kabels von den noch funktionsfähigen Koppelstellen aus versorgt werden. Das bedeutet, daß die Signale für eine Teilstrecke des AHF-Kabels jeweils von nur noch einer Koppelstelle so eingespeist werden, daß der Empfangspegel entlang dieser Teilstrecke auf ihrer ganzen Länge ausreichend hoch ist. Es bedeutet andererseits, daß vom AHF-Kabel empfangene Signale von demselben so verlustarm geführt werden, daß sie mit ausreichend hohem Pegel zu der jeweils einzigen Koppelstelle gelangen.With correct dimensioning of the distance between the coupling points is ensured even if one of the signal cable that the sections of the AHF cable are supplied by the still functioning coupling points. This means that the signals for a leg of the AHF cable are fed from only one coupling point so that the reception level along this part of the length is sufficiently high along its entire length. On the other hand, it means that signals received from the AHF cable are conducted by the latter in such a way that they reach the single coupling point with a sufficiently high level.
Wenn das AHF-Kabel in an sich bekannter Weise in Abschnitte unterteilt wird, die in Längsrichtung hintereinander angeordnet sind, wird jedem Abschnitt eine Koppelstelle zugeordnet. Die Unterteilung des AHF-Kabels kann beispielsweise zur sicheren Vermeidung von Interferenzen vorgenommen werden. Bei Ausfall eines Signalkabels bzw. des zugehörigen Teils der Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung muß dann sichergestellt sein, daß die Abschnitte automatisch durchverbunden werden. Dazu können entsprechend der

Bei der in
Die Signalkabel 5 und 6 können jeweils optische Kabel mit Lichtwellenleitern (LWL), koaxiale HF-Kabel mit geschlossenem Außenleiter oder auch Telefonkabel für Basisbandübertragung sein. In allen Fällen werden die HF-Signale verlustarm über die Signalkabel 5 und 6 übertragen. Bei Einsatz von LWL-Kabeln müssen in den Koppelstellen zwischen AHF-Kabel 1 und Signalkabeln 5 und 6 elektro/optische Wandler zwischengeschaltet werden. Diese entfallen bei Verwendung von HF-Kabeln oder von Telefonkabeln als Signalkabel 5 und 6. Im folgenden wird statt der Bezeichnung "Signalkabel 5 und 6" die Bezeichnung LWL-Kabel 5 und 6" verwendet, stellvertretend auch für die ebenfalls einsetzbaren koaxialen HF-Kabel bzw. Telefonkabel. Beide LWL-Kabel 5 und 6 sind mit der Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung 3 verbunden, und zwar vorzugsweise getrennt voneinander. Die Anordnung ist insgesamt für bidirektionale Kommunikation vorgesehen und ausgelegt.The
Die beiden LWL-Kabel 5 und 6 sind an Koppelstellen K1 bis Kn mit dem AHF-Kabel 1 verbunden, und zwar in einer zur Führung von HF-Signalen geeigneten Art und Weise. "n" ist dabei eine ganze, gerade Zahl. In den Koppelstellen K1 bis Kn sind elektro/optische Wandler vorhanden, die an sich bekannt und daher nicht mit dargestellt sind. Auf diese Art und Weise können HF-Signale von der Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung 3 zur Antenne eines entlang des AHF-Kabels 1 bewegten Fahrzeugs oder auch eines tragbaren Funkgeräts übertragen werden und umgekehrt.The two fiber
Das AHF-Kabel 1 und die beiden LWL-Kabel 5 und 6 sind zweckmäßig räumlich getrennt voneinander verlegt. Auf jeden Fall haben die beiden LWL-Kabel 5 und 6 einen großen räumlichen Abstand voneinander. Sie können mit Vorteil an den beiden einander gegenüberliegenden Wänden des Tunnels T angebracht sein. Bei Tunnelstrecken mit zwei oder mehr Tunnelröhren können die LWL-Kabel 5 und 6 auch in unterschiedlichen Tunnelröhren montiert werden. Es ist dann mit großer Sicherheit verhindert, daß beide LWL-Kabel 5 und 6 gleichzeitig beschädigt werden können. Die Funktionsfähigkeit der Anordnung ist dadurch auch bei Beschädigung eines der LWL-Kabel 5 oder 6 gewährleistet. Die HF-Signale werden vom jeweils anderen LWL-Kabel 5 oder 6 geführt.The
Um das zu ermöglichen, sind beide LWL-Kabel 5 und 6 an den Koppelstellen K1 bis Kn mit dem AHF-Kabel 1 verbunden, und zwar entsprechend
Die Anordnung nach
Vom Sender S der Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung 3 kommende HF-Signale werden in den Koppelstellen K1 bis Kn unter Zwischenschaltung von elektro/optischen Wandlern von den LWL-Kabeln 5 und 6 in das AHF-Kabel 1 eingespeist. Die HF-Signale können dann entlang des AHF-Kabels 1 mittels einer geeigneten Antenne empfangen werden. Von einem Fahrzeug oder einem Funkgerät in das AHF-Kabel 1 eingespeiste HF-Signale werden in den Koppelstellen K1 bis Kn über die Wandler in die LWL-Kabel 5 und 6 eingekoppelt und von denselben verlustarm zum Empfänger E der Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung 3 übertragen. Neben den Wandlern können die Koppelstellen K1 bis Kn auch bidirektional wirkende Verstärker mit Filtern zur Trennung der unterschiedlichen Frequenzen beider Übertragungsrichtungen umfassen.From the transmitter S of the transmitting and receiving
Wenn beispielweise das LWL-Kabel 5 oder sein zugehöriger Teil der Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung 3 ausfällt, wird die Funktionsfähigkeit der Anordnung durch das LWL-Kabel 6 aufrechterhalten. Die von der Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung 3 kommenden HF-Signale werden jetzt nur noch über die geradzahligen Koppelstellen K2 bis Kn in das AHF-Kabel 1 eingespeist. Das reicht bei richtiger Dimensionierung aber aus, um einen ausreichend hohen Empfangspegel entlang des AHF-Kabels 1 zu gewährleisten. Es bleibt auch sichergestellt, daß in das AHF-Kabel 1 eingespeiste HF-Signale zur Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung 3 gelangen.If, for example, the

Wenn das Pilotsignal bei Ausfall eines der LWL-Kabel 5 oder 6 bzw. des zugehörigen Teils der Sende- und Empfangseinrichtung 3 in einem Empfänger 8 oder 9 des Schaltelements 7 nicht mehr ankommt, wird das von der zugehörigen Auswerteeinheit 10 erkannt. Von den entsprechenden Abschnitten A des AHF-Kabels 1 könnte dann kein HF-Signal mehr empfangen werden und es könnte auch kein HF-Signal weitergeleitet werden. Durch die Auswerteeinheit 10 werden dann sofort die Schalter 11 geschlossen, so daß jeweils eine leitende Verbindung zwischen den beiden an das Schaltelement 7 angeschlossenen Abschnitten des AHF-Kabels 1 hergestellt wird.
