Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen breitbandigen koaxialen Überspannungsableiter, mit einer zu einem Koaxialleitungsabschnitt parallel geschalteten Kurzschlußleitung und einer in Serie geschalteten leerlaufenden Leitung.The invention relates to a broadband coaxial surge arrester, with one to a coaxial line section short-circuit line connected in parallel and one in Series switched idle line.

Koaxiale Überspannungsableiter, die aus einem Koaxialleitungsabschnitt mit parallel geschalteter Kurzschlußleitung, in der Regel eine λ/4-Kurzschlußleitung, bestehen, sind bekannt. Sie sind sehr schmalbandig. Auch wenn man ein VSWR von 1,1 zuläßt, ist nur eine relative Bandbreite von 20 % realisierbar. Eine größere Bandbreite läßt sich erreichen, wenn man den Wellenwiderstand ZK der Kurzschlußleitung größer als den Wellenwiderstand ZO des Koaxialleitungsabschnitts macht. Allerdings kann ZK nicht beliebig groß gemacht werden, da die verbleibende Reststörspannung proportional zu ZK ist. Schaltet man jedoch der Parallelschaltung aus dem Koaxialleitungsabschnitt und der Kurzschlußleitung in Serie eine leerlaufende Leitung nach, so läßt sich für ein VSWR von 1,1 (entsprechend einem Reflexionsfaktor von etwa 0,05) an den Rändern des Übertragungsbereiches eine Bandbreite von etwa einer Oktave erreichen.Coaxial surge arresters, which consist of a coaxial line section with a short-circuit line connected in parallel, generally a λ / 4 short-circuit line, are known. They are very narrow-band. Even if a VSWR of 1.1 is permitted, only a relative bandwidth of 20% can be achieved. A larger bandwidth can be achieved if the characteristic impedance Z K of the short-circuit line is made larger than the characteristic impedance Z O of the coaxial line section. However, Z K cannot be made arbitrarily large, since the remaining residual interference voltage is proportional to Z K. However, if you connect an idle line to the parallel connection of the coaxial line section and the short-circuit line in series, a bandwidth of approximately one octave can be achieved for a VSWR of 1.1 (corresponding to a reflection factor of approximately 0.05) at the edges of the transmission range ,

Ein derartiger Überspannungsableiter ist allerdings nur bedingt geeignet, wenn über die Leitung zwei schmale Frequenzbänder übertragen werden müssen, deren Mittenfrequenzen sehr weit, z.B. eine Oktave, auseinander liegen. Dies gilt u.a. für den Mobilfunk, wo die Signale des D-Netzes (890 bis 960 MHz) und des E-Netzes (1710 bis 1880 MHz) über ein gemeinsames Antennenkabel zur Antenne der Basisstation übertragen werden. However, such a surge arrester is only limited suitability if two narrow frequency bands are connected via the cable must be transmitted, their center frequencies very far, e.g. an octave apart. this applies et al for mobile radio, where the signals of the D network (890 to 960 MHz) and the E network (1710 to 1880 MHz) via a common one Transfer the antenna cable to the base station antenna become.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen breitbandigen koaxialen Überspannungsableiter zu schaffen, der an den Rändern eines vorgegebenen Frequenzbereiches einen besonders niedrigen Reflexionsfaktor hat.The invention has for its object a broadband to create coaxial surge arrester connected to the Edges of a given frequency range has a low reflection factor.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß zwischen dem Anschlußpunkt der Kurzschlußleitung und dem Anschlußpunkt der leerlaufenden Leitung ein transformierendes koaxiales Leitungsstück mit einer Länge < λ/4 liegt.This object is achieved in that between the connection point of the short-circuit line and the connection point the idle line is a transforming one coaxial line section with a length <λ / 4.

Dabei ist λ die der Mittenfrequenz des vorgegebenen Frequenzbereichs entsprechende Wellenlänge. Es wurde festgestellt und läßt sich auch rechnerisch zeigen, daß bei dem vorgeschlagenen Überspannungsableiter der frequenzabhängige Verlauf des Reflexionsfaktors zwei sehr kleine Minima ausreichender Bandbreite beidseits eines etwa in der nicht genutzten Bandmitte liegenden Maximums hat. Die Minima können mehr als eine Oktave auseinanderliegen. Ihre Lage und ihre Größe hängen von der Bemessung der beteiligten, transformierenden Leitungselemente, also der Kurzschlußleitung, des transformierenden Leitungsstücks und der leerlaufenden Leitung, ab.Here λ is the center frequency of the specified frequency range corresponding wavelength. It was determined and can also be shown arithmetically that with the Proposed surge arrester the frequency dependent Course of the reflection factor two very small minima sufficient Bandwidth on both sides of one in the not maximum used band. The minima can be more than one octave apart. Your location and their size depend on the dimensioning of the transforming involved Line elements, i.e. the short-circuit line, of the transforming line section and the idling line section Line, from.

Insbesondere kann die Länge des seriellen transformierenden Leitungsstücks so gewählt ist, daß die den frequenzabhängigen Verlauf des Reflexionsfaktors wiedergebende Kurve bei zwei unterschiedlichen Betriebsfrequenzen des Überspannungsableiters je ein Minimum aufweist (Anspruch 2).In particular, the length of the serial transforming Line piece is chosen so that the frequency dependent Curve reflecting the course of the reflection factor two different operating frequencies of the surge arrester each has a minimum (claim 2).

Zweckmäßig ist dabei der Wellenwiderstand der Kurzschlußleitung hochohmiger und der Wellenwiderstand der leerlaufenden Leitung niederohmiger als der Wellenwiderstand des Koaxialleitungsabschnitts bemessen (Anspruch 3).The wave resistance of the short-circuit line is expedient high impedance and the characteristic impedance of the idling Cable with lower resistance than the characteristic impedance of the Dimensioned coaxial line section (claim 3).

Insbesondere kann der Wellenwiderstand der Kurzschlußleitung das zwei- bis dreifache des Wellenwiderstandes der Koaxialleitung und der Wellenwiderstand der leerlaufenden Leitung etwa die Hälfte bis ein Viertel des Wellenwiderstandes des Koaxialleitungsabschnitts betragen. (Anspruch 4).In particular, the characteristic impedance of the short-circuit line twice to three times the characteristic impedance of the coaxial line and the characteristic impedance of the idle line about half to a quarter of the wave impedance of the Coaxial line section. (Claim 4).

Der Überspannungsableiter nach dem vorliegenden Vorschlag hat auch den Vorteil, kleiner zu bauen als ein Überspannungsableiter nach dem Stand der Technik, denn sowohl die Länge der Kurzschlußleitung als auch die Länge der leerlaufenden Leitung können etwa 20 bis 30 % kleiner als λ/4 gewählt werden (Ansprüche 5 und 6).The surge arrester on the given proposal also has the advantage of being smaller than a surge arrester according to the state of the art, because both the Length of the short-circuit line as well as the length of the open circuit Line can be chosen to be about 20 to 30% smaller than λ / 4 be (claims 5 and 6).

Für die meisten Anwendungen kann die Länge des seriellen transformierenden koaxialen Leitungsstücks etwa 20 bis 50 % von λ/4 betragen (Anspruch 7).For most applications, the length of the serial transforming coaxial line piece about 20 to 50% of λ / 4 (claim 7).

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die leerlaufenden Leitung aus einem Abschnitt verringerten Durchmessers des Innenleiters des transformierenden koaxialen Leitungsstücks, einer diesen Abschnitt umgebenden Hülse aus einem dielektrischen Werkstoff, deren Länge der Länge der leerlaufenden Leitung entspricht und aus einem die Hülse koaxial umschließenden rohrförmigen Abschnitt des die Koaxialleitung fortsetzenden Innenleiters im Zusammenwirken mit dem durchgehenden Außenleiter des Überspannungsableiters (Anspruch 8).In a preferred embodiment, there is the idle Line from a section of reduced diameter the inner conductor of the transforming coaxial line section, a sleeve surrounding this section from a dielectric material, the length of the length of the idle Line corresponds and from a coaxial sleeve enclosing tubular portion of the coaxial line continuing inner conductor in cooperation with the continuous Outer conductor of the surge arrester (claim 8).

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Überspannungsableiter ist hier als koaxiale Baugruppe ausgebildet, die an ihren beiden Enden mit Steckanschlüssen grundsätzlich beliebiger und hier nicht näher interessierender Art ausgestattet ist. Der Überspannungsableiter ist reziprok und umfaßt einen koaxialen Leitungsabschnitt 1, eine dazu parallel geschaltete Kurzschlußleitung 2, ein kurzes, transformierendes koaxiales Leitungsstück 3 und eine dazu in Serie geschaltete, leerlaufende Leitung 4. Der Außenleiter 25 der Kurzschlußleitung 2 kann als Teil des den übrigen Leitungsabschnitten gemeinsamen Außenleiters 5 betrachtet werden. Mit dem Innenleiter 11 des Koaxialleitungsabschnitts 1 ist wie üblich der Innenleiter 21 der Kurzschlußleitung 2 verbunden, uzw. hier nach dem Stecker/Buchse-Prinzip. An seinem anderen Ende ist der Innenleiter 21 mit dem Außenleiter 25 elektrisch leitend verbunden. Die Länge der Kurzschlußleitung ist kleiner als λ/4, wobei λ die der rechnerischen, jedoch nicht genutzten Bandmittenfrequenz entsprechende Wellenlänge ist. Der Durchmesser des Innenleiters 21 und der Innendurchmesser des Außenleiters 25 der Kurzschlußleitung sind nach dem bekannten Zusammenhang so gewählt, daß der Wellenwiderstand der Kurzschlußleitung etwa das zwei- bis dreifache des Wellenwiderstandes der Koaxialleitung beträgt.The surge arrester shown in Fig. 1 is here formed as a coaxial assembly on their two Ends with plug connections basically any and here is of a type of no particular interest. The surge arrester is reciprocal and includes a coaxial Line section 1, a short-circuit line connected in parallel 2, a short, transforming coaxial Line piece 3 and an idling one connected in series Line 4. The outer conductor 25 of the short-circuit line 2 can be part of the other line sections common Outer conductor 5 are considered. With the inner conductor 11 of the coaxial line section 1 is, as usual, the inner conductor 21 of the short-circuit line 2 connected, etc. here after the Male / female principle. At its other end is the inner conductor 21 electrically connected to the outer conductor 25. The length of the short-circuit line is less than λ / 4, where λ is the arithmetic, but not used, band center frequency corresponding wavelength is. The diameter of the inner conductor 21 and the inner diameter of the outer conductor 25 of the short-circuit line are according to the known relationship chosen so that the characteristic impedance of the short-circuit line about two to three times the wave resistance the coaxial line.

An den Verbindungspunkt des Innenleiters 11 des Koaxialleitungsabschnitts 1 und des Innenleiters 21 der Kurzschlußleitung 20 schließt sich der Innenleiter 31 des transformierenden Leitungsstücks 3 an. Die Länge dieses Leitungsstücks ist in der Regel kleiner als λ/8. Der nur schematisch dargestellte Durchmessersprung dient der Kompensation der Öffnung in dem Außenleiter 5, über die der Innenleiter 21 der Kurzschlußleitung 2, gehalten von einer Isolierstoffscheibe 22, herausgeführt ist.At the connection point of the inner conductor 11 of the coaxial line section 1 and the inner conductor 21 of the short-circuit line 20 closes the inner conductor 31 of the transforming Line piece 3 on. The length of this line piece is usually less than λ / 8. The only shown schematically Jump in diameter serves to compensate for the opening in the outer conductor 5, via which the inner conductor 21 of the short-circuit line 2, held by an insulating disk 22, is brought out.

An das transformierende Leitungsstück 3 schließt sich in Serie die leerlaufende Leitung 4 an. Diese kann etwa die gleiche Länge wie die Kurzschlußleitung 2 haben und umfaßt einen den Innenleiter 31 fortsetzenden Innenleiter 41, dessen Durchmesser erheblich kleiner als derjenige des Innenleiters 31 ist. Weiter umfaßt die leerlaufende Leitung eine diesen Innenleiter 41 umgebende Hülse 42 aus einem dielektrischen Werkstoff. Die Hülse 42 hat einen umlaufenden Flansch 42a, der den rohrförmigen, die Hülse umgebenden Abschnitt 45 des die Koaxialleitung fortsetzenden Innenleiters von dem Innenleiter 41 des transformierenden Leitungsstücks 3 elektrisch trennt. Deshalb bildet der rohrförmige Abschnitt 45 den Außenleiter der leerlaufenden Leitung 4. Diese hat zufolge der gegebenen Durchmesserverhältnisse und der Dielektrizitätskonstanten der Hülse 42 einen Wellenwiderstand, der etwa die Hälfte bis ein Viertel des Wellenwiderstandes des Koaxialleitungsabschnitts 1 beträgt.The transforming line section 3 follows in Series the idle line 4. This can be about have the same length as the short-circuit line 2 and includes an inner conductor 41 which continues the inner conductor 31, whose diameter is considerably smaller than that of the Inner conductor 31 is. The idle line also includes a sleeve 42 surrounding this inner conductor 41 from a dielectric material. The sleeve 42 has a circumferential Flange 42a, the tubular surrounding the sleeve Section 45 of the inner conductor continuing the coaxial line from the inner conductor 41 of the transforming line section 3 electrically separates. That is why the tubular Section 45 the outer conductor of the idle line 4. According to the given diameter ratios and the dielectric constant of the sleeve 42 has a characteristic impedance, which is about half to a quarter of the wave resistance of the coaxial line section 1.
