Abstract

Eine Flachantennenanordnung (Plattenantennenanordnung, Patchantennenanordnung) mit einer Masseplatte (2) und einem Strahler (3), der in einem Abstand im wesentlichen parallel zur Masseplatte (2) angeordnet ist und mit einem seiner Endbereiche mit dieser leitend verbunden ist, wobei bei einer ersten (niedrigeren) Resonanzfrequenz der Antennenanordnung (1) an der Verbindung des Strahlers mit der Masseplatte (2) ein Spannungsminimum vorhanden ist und im Bereich des anderen Endes (freies Ende) des Strahlers ein erstes Spannungsmaximum vorhanden ist, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass bei einer weiteren, höheren Resonanzfrequenz an den genannten Enden des Strahlers (3) ein Spannungsminimum beziehungsweise ein zweites Spannungsmaximum vorhanden ist, und dass der Bereich des freien Endes (6) des Strahlers mit einer anderen Stelle (7) des Strahlers derart kapazitiv gekoppelt ist, dass die weitere Resonanzfrequenz gegenüber dem dreifachen Wert der ersten Resonanzfrequenz bei Vorhandensein der genannten kapazitiven Kopplung verringert ist.A flat antenna arrangement (plate antenna arrangement, Patch antenna arrangement) with a ground plate (2) and one Spotlight (3) which is at a distance essentially parallel is arranged to the ground plate (2) and with one of its end regions is conductively connected to this, with one first (lower) resonance frequency of the antenna arrangement (1) at the connection of the radiator to the ground plate (2) one voltage minimum is present and in the area of the other End (free end) of the radiator a first voltage maximum is present, is characterized in that at a further, higher resonance frequency at said Ends of the radiator (3) a voltage minimum respectively a second voltage maximum is present and that the area the free end (6) of the radiator with another Location (7) of the radiator is capacitively coupled such that the further resonance frequency compared to three times the value the first resonance frequency in the presence of the aforementioned capacitive coupling is reduced.

Von Vorteil ist, dass in zwei Frequenzbereichen die ganze Strahlerfläche benutzt wird und dass nur ein einziger Anschluss am Strahler für die Speiseleitung nötig ist.

Figure 00000001
It is advantageous that the entire radiator surface is used in two frequency ranges and that only a single connection to the radiator is required for the feed line.
