Definitions

  • the present invention relates to antennas produced according to the microstrip technique.
  • Such an antenna is typically used in a spectral range including radiofrequencies and microwaves.
  • She includes a patch which is typically formed by etching a layer metallic. It is called in English by specialists "microstrip patch antenna "for" microstrip type patch antenna ".
  • the presentation will sometimes be limited below for the purpose of simplification to the sole case of an antenna transmitter connected to a transmitter. But it must be understood that the provisions described could also apply in the case of receiving antennas connected to a receiver. For the same purpose it will be accepted that the substrate has the form of a horizontal sheet.
  • a first type can be called "half-wave”.
  • the antenna is then called “half-wave” or "electric”.
  • This length is substantially equal to half the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave propagating in this direction in the line formed by the mass, the substrate and the pellet.
  • the coupling with the radiated waves is done at the ends of this length, these extremities being located in regions where the amplitude of the electric field prevailing in the substrate is maximum.
  • a second type of resonant structure which can be produced according to this same technique can be called "quarter wave”.
  • the antenna is then said "quarter wave” or “magnetic". It differs from a half-wave antenna by part by the fact that its pellet has a length substantially equal to a quarter of the wavelength, this length of the patch and this wavelength being defined as above, on the other hand by the fact that a significant short circuit is made at one end of this length between the mass and the patch of so as to impose a quarter wave type resonance including a node of electric field is fixed by this short circuit. Coupling with waves radiated is done at the other end of this length, this other end being located in the region where the amplitude of the electric field across the substrate is maximum.
  • the coupling of such an antenna to a signal processing device such that a transmitter is typically done through not only a coupling device included in this antenna, but also a line of external connection to this antenna and connecting the coupling device to the signal processor. If we consider a functional chain including the signal processor, the connection line, the coupling device and the resonant structure, the coupling and the connection line are made so that this chain has a uniform impedance over its entire length, which avoids parasitic reflections opposing good coupling.
  • connection line is to carry a radio frequency or microwave signal from the transmitter to the antenna terminals. Throughout such a line the signal is propagates in the form of a traveling wave without undergoing, at least in principle, significant modification of its characteristics.
  • the function of coupling device is to transform the signal supplied by the line of connection so that this signal excites a resonance of the antenna, this is to say that the energy of the traveling wave carrying this signal is transferred to a standing wave established in the antenna with defined characteristics by the latter.
  • the antenna it transfers the energy of this wave stationary at a wave radiated in space.
  • the signal provided by the transmitter thus undergoes a first transformation to pass from the shape of a wave progressive to that of a standing wave, then a second transformation which gives it the shape of a radiated wave.
  • a first transformation to pass from the shape of a wave progressive to that of a standing wave
  • a second transformation which gives it the shape of a radiated wave.
  • an antenna receiving the signal takes the same forms in the same organs but the transformations are done in reverse order and direction.
  • Connection lines can be made using a technique other than planar, for example in the form of coaxial lines.
  • Antennas produced using planar techniques are included in various types of devices. These devices include portable radiotelephones, base stations for the latter, automobiles and airplanes or air missiles.
  • portable radio the continuous nature of the lower mass layer of this antenna makes it possible to easily limit the radiation power intercepted by the body of the user of the device.
  • the antenna can be shaped to this profile so as not to show additional aerodynamic drag annoying.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to antennas of limited dimensions of the quarter wave type.
  • a first quarter-wave antenna produced using the microstrips is known from an article by T.D. Ormiston, P. Gardner, and P.S. Hall "Microstrip Short-circuit Patch Design Equations", Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, vol. 16, No. 1, September 1997, page 12-14.
  • Feeding means are provided by this article to allow to feed the antenna from a transmitter. They are designated by the terms "microstrip feed”, that is to say that they are produced according to the technique of microstrips. Although this is not at all explained in this article, it is clear that such means perform the two functions which have been previously specified for the coupling device and the connection line.
  • the connection line is a line to conventional type microstrip.
  • a main conductor of this line is a ribbon shown located in the plane of the patch.
  • a ground conductor of this line belongs to the mass layer not shown which is common to this line, to the coupling device and to the antenna.
  • the coupling device As for the coupling device, it has the shape of a ribbon longitudinal horizontal. It is presented as belonging to a line of the type microstrip extending the ribbon from the connection line.
  • This ribbon can be called coupling tape. It enters the area of the pellet through the edge of the short circuit. It then extends into this area from this edge between two notches and connects to the pad at an internal connection point of this patch that is to say at a point inside this area.
  • These two notches are provided in this article to allow penetration of the tape coupling to the suitable connection point. They correspond to two edges of the axial gap of the short circuit.
  • This first known antenna has the following drawbacks:
  • a first drawback is that the tape and the mass of the connection line are located in the extension of the patch and the mass of the antenna, respectively.
  • the components of the transmitter are located inside the device including the antenna while this last is located on the surface of this device, these elements being typically grouped on a printed circuit board called "motherboard".
  • motherboard a printed circuit board
  • Another disadvantage of this antenna is that its power, or more generally, its coupling to the signal processing member cannot be usefully obtained only through precise adjustment of various parameters. These parameters include the width and length of the two notches mentioned above and the width of the coupling tape. They must be adjusted to give a suitable value for the antenna impedance. Their values, and more particularly that of this length, must be brought between tolerance limits very close to each other and hardly predeterminable. In the case of industrial manufacture of such antennas in series, this difficulty of adjustment can increase manufacturing costs annoyingly.
  • a second quarter-wave antenna produced using the microstrips is known from patent document WO 94/24723 (Wireless Access, Inc).
  • Its patch (316 in Figure 3) has a wide slot (rectangular ring 350) to make its operation less sensitive to proximity of conductive masses such as a human body or to that of electrical circuits such as those of a microcomputer.
  • Its short circuit (330) is partial, i.e. it is formed on only one segment of an edge of this pastille. It is indicated that this facilitates an adaptation of the impedance antenna input.
  • the connection line supplying this antenna is arranged vertically under the substrate. It is of the coaxial type.
  • the device coupling consists of an extension of the central conductor, i.e. of the main conductor which extends in the axis of this line, this extension crossing the substrate to come and connect to the patch. As for the driver of mass which sheaths this line, it is connected directly to the mass of the antenna.
  • This second known antenna has the drawback in particular that the realization of an effective coupling device through the end part of the central conductor of a coaxial line connecting to the antenna patch requires drilling the substrate and presents difficulties practical, especially for adjusting the position of the connection. These difficulties increase the cost of manufacturing, especially if it is mass production.
  • Connection conductors include a first guide ribbon wave extending on the upper face of the dielectric layer lower, because it is cut in the pellet.
  • the first ribbon guide is connected to a coaxial cable located in below the ground plane, by a conductive strip of very wide width lower than that of the first guide, and extending over the edge of the layer lower dielectric.
  • the coaxial cable is replaced by a second ribbon waveguide extending in the ground plane, on the lower surface of the lower dielectric layer, if it is designed as a printed circuit board.
  • This antenna has the disadvantage of an impedance discontinuity not negligible, at the connection between the first guide and the cable coaxial or the second ribbon guide.
  • FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of a device for communication including a first antenna produced according to this invention.
  • FIG. 2 represents a top view of the antenna of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 represents a front view of this same antenna.
  • FIG. 4 represents a diagram of the variation of a coefficient of reflection in decibels at the input of this same antenna depending on the frequency expressed in MHz.
  • Figure 5 shows a partial view of a second antenna produced according to this invention, in section through an axial vertical plane.
  • Figure 6 shows a partial perspective view of the antenna Figure 5.
  • the antenna further includes a coupling device having more particularly the shape of a coupling line.
  • This device comprises of share a main conductor consisting of two sections C1 and C3 and connected to the patch 6 at an internal connection point 18. It also comprises an equally composite ground conductor which cooperates with this conductor main and which will be described later. It constitutes all or part of a set of connection which connects the resonant structure of the antenna to a signal processing 8, for example to excite one or more resonances of the antenna from this body in the case where it is an antenna transmitter.
  • the connection set includes, typically a connection line such as C4, C5, which is external to the antenna and which has two conductors.
  • this line of side of the antenna these two conductors are connected respectively to two connection conductors which belong to the coupling device and which can be considered as constituting two terminals of the antenna. AT the other end of this line, the two conductors of the latter are respectively connected to two terminals of the signal processing device.
  • This line can in particular be of the coaxial type, of the microstrip type or of the coplanar type.
  • this same set transmits the signals received by this antenna to the signal processor.
  • the various elements of this set have the previously defined functions.
  • the present invention also relates to a device for communication including an antenna according to this invention and a said communication device signal processing connected to this antenna by a so-called set of connection.
  • the antenna according to the present invention can be an antenna single frequency or multi frequency antenna.
  • the antenna given as an example is a dual-frequency antenna, i.e. it must be able to give rise to the minus two resonances so that they can operate in two modes corresponding to two operating frequencies.
  • a slot has been formed in the disc 6 and opens forward towards the outside of this last. It constitutes a longitudinal separating slot F1.
  • the scope longitudinal occupied by this slot defines in this patch a region before Z2, Z1, Z12, the slot itself separating in this region a primary zone Z1 of a secondary zone Z2.
  • a rear region ZA extends between this region front and rear edge 10. This rear region is much shorter depending on the longitudinal direction DL as this front region.
  • the internal connection point 18 is located in the primary zone Z1.
  • An operating mode of the antenna then constitutes a primary mode in which a standing wave is established by propagation of waves progressive in both directions of this longitudinal direction or of a direction close to the latter, these waves propagating in an area including this primary zone and this rear region by substantially excluding the secondary zone Z2.
  • Another operating mode constitutes a mode secondary in which a standing wave is established thanks to a propagation traveling waves in the same two directions, these waves propagating in another area including the primary and secondary zones and the rear region.
  • the rear region ZA has a first function which is to couple the secondary zone to the primary zone for allow the establishment of the secondary mode. It has a second function which is to allow the short circuit on the rear edge to play its role in each of these two areas.
  • the antenna is then, at least approximately, for each operating frequency, of the quarter type wave.
  • Pad and coupling line configurations and more particularly the longitudinal position of the internal connection point 18 are chosen so that a predetermined desired value appears the impedance presented by the antenna for the signal processor or more typically for a connection line connecting this member to this device.
  • This impedance will hereinafter be called the antenna impedance.
  • impedance entry In the case of a transmitting antenna it is usually called impedance entry.
  • desired value is advantageously equal to the impedance of the connection line. This is why, preferably, the position of the point of connection gives the antenna impedance substantially the same value for the various operating frequencies.
  • the operating frequencies have predetermined desired values. These values can be advantageously obtained by a suitable choice of dimensions respective longitudinal zones primary Z1 and secondary Z2. It is why these two dimensions are typically different.
  • the configuration of the patch 6 further forms a slot extending in the transverse direction DT.
  • This slot constitutes a transverse separating slot F2 partially separating this primary zone of the rear region ZA. It connects to the rear end of the longitudinal separating slot F1.
  • Another F3 slot extends into the primary zone Z1 forward from the transverse separating slot F2. It can be called frequency lowering slot because its role is to lower the operating frequencies to an increasing extent with its length. It thus not only limits the length of the patch necessary to obtain desired predetermined frequency values of operation, but also to adjust these frequencies thanks to an adjustment suitable for its length.
  • the antenna has a plane of symmetry extending along the longitudinal DL and vertical DV directions, the trace of this plane in the upper surface of the substrate constituting an axis of symmetry A for the pellet 6.
  • the number included in the reference signs of the one who is right in the figures is equal to the corresponding number of that of left increased by 10.
  • the coupling device and the primary zone Z1 extend in the vicinity of axis A and the configuration of the patch forms two said longitudinal separating slots F1, F11 on either side of this zone primary.
  • the secondary zone then comprises two parts Z2, Z12 located respectively beyond these two slots.
  • all of the separating slots F1, F2, F11, F12 has the shape of a U.
  • the branches and the base of this U are longitudinal and transverse respectively.
  • This base has an interval axial 20 extending on either side of the axis to connect the primary zone Z1 to short circuit C2, C12 via an axial part of the region rear ZA.
  • the coupling line which constitutes the antenna coupling device comprises a conductor belonging to the upper conductive layer. More precisely a section C1 of said main conductor penetrates in the longitudinal direction DL into the area of the patch 6. It extends between a rear end close to the edge rear 10 and a front end constituting the internal connection point 18.
  • This section of main conductor C1 has the form of a ribbon and can be called horizontal coupling tape.
  • this ribbon is limited laterally by two notches F4 and F14. But, in the antenna of the present invention, these two notches F4 and F14 are sufficiently narrow in the direction DT and sufficiently long according to DL direction to be considered as two respectively longitudinal slots F4 and F14. These two slots separate this ribbon from the patch 6 and will hereinafter be called coupling slots.
  • the choice of their width depends to the fact that the parameters of the line of which this coupling ribbon constitutes the main conductor can advantageously be determined by designing this line as a coplanar line able to excite the antenna in a way distributed along the length of this line rather than as a line of the type microstrip intended to excite the antenna only at the end of this line.
  • the ground conductor of this coplanar line is mainly constituted in the manner of a coplanar line by the parts of the patch 6 located laterally on either side of this ribbon C1 beyond the two slots F4 and F14, and not by the mass of the antenna as in a line to microstrip.
  • This line will hereinafter be called the horizontal coplanar line.
  • the antenna would allow the antenna to be coupled via a signal electromagnetic applied or collected by the external connection line to the rear end of this horizontal coplanar line between two terminals common to this horizontal coplanar line and to the antenna, these two terminals being respectively constituted by this ground conductor 4 of this line and the rear end of this ribbon C1.
  • the external connection line to the rear end of this horizontal coplanar line between two terminals common to this horizontal coplanar line and to the antenna, these two terminals being respectively constituted by this ground conductor 4 of this line and the rear end of this ribbon C1.
  • making the connection between the device coupling and this external line via such conductors located in the pellet plan would complicate the manufacture of these devices.
  • the horizontal coplanar line in question extends along axis A. It passes through the axial interval 20 of the base of the U, this interval being delimited by the two coupling slots F4 and F14.
  • the position of the front end 18 of its conductor principal is determined to give a desired value to the impedance of the antenna. But this impedance also depends on other parameters such as widths of C1 coupling tape and coupling slots, F4 and F14, as well than the nature of the substrate.
  • said short circuit is a short circuit composite comprising two short-circuit conductors C2 and C12. These two conductors extend in the vertical direction DV leaving between them a free interval. Each of them connects the ground 4 of the antenna to the patch 6.
  • the vertical conductor C3 of the coupling line has the same width as the horizontal conductor C1, and it is separated from the short-circuit conductors C2 and C12 respectively by slots F5 and F15 which have the same width as the slots F4 and F14, of so that the vertical line segment constitutes a vertical coplanar line connecting to the horizontal coplanar line without appreciable discontinuity impedance.
  • connection conductors are formed on the wafer surface S3 facilitates substantially the creation of a connection between on the one hand the coupling belonging to the antenna formed on the surface of the device and other hand, a connection line connecting this device to a processing unit signal. If this organ is located inside this device this line can take the form of a coaxial line which, in the vicinity of the antenna, is perpendicular to the plane thereof. In other cases this provision of connection conductors facilitate the connection of the antenna to conductors carried by a motherboard on one side of which the substrate of the antenna has been previously fixed, the connection line then being typically, at least in the vicinity of the antenna, parallel to the direction longitudinal of it.
