Definitions

  • the underlying invention generally relates to the field of microwave antennas applicable for example to Smart Handheld Devices (SHDs) with high-speed mobile access, and, more particularly, to a solution for a monopole antenna having an omni-directional radiation pattern said monopole antenna is formed by a conductive patch printed on the same substrate where the RF front-end chip is placed.
  • SHDs Smart Handheld Devices
  • WLAN Wireless Local Area Network
  • IEEE 802.11a Wireless Local Area Network
  • WLAN Wireless Local Area Network
  • broadband third and fourth generation cellular systems will be designed to meet QoS requirements of high-performance wireless communication systems in a more cost-effective and flexible manner.
  • one of the most critical QoS aspects of mobile communications is the choice and deployment of appropriately designed microwave antennas.
  • the rapid growth in civil applications of mobile communications, particularly the increased use of personal mobile terminals, has generated a need for the development of small mobile terminals and small-sized radiating systems.
  • microwave antennas are specified according to a set of parameters comprising operating frequency, gain, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), input impedance and bandwidth. If the VSWR is greater than 3, for instance, a so-called matching network must be placed between the transmitter and its antenna to minimize mismatch loss, although a low VSWR is not a design necessity as long as the antenna is an efficient radiator. Said design is costly and makes an automation of the matching function much slower than designs applying low-power and solid-state tuning elements. In practical applications, the bandwidth of operation is usually prescribed by a governing authority.
  • microstrip antennas in its simplest form consists of a radiating strip conductor patch on top of a thin dielectric substrate or air sheet, and a metallic ground plane on the other side of said substrate. It can be made conformal to a metallic surface and produced at low cost by using photo-etch techniques. When low-profile, lightweight, small-size and low-cost designs are required, microstrip antennas play an important role.
  • the patch or top layer can be of any shape, but conventional shapes are generally used to simplify analysis and performance prediction. In practical applications, typical shapes of patch radiators are circular and rectangular.
  • the permittivity ⁇ r should be low in order to enhance fringe fields which account for the radiation. However, other performance and design requirements may dictate the use of substrates whose realistic permittivities ⁇ r may be greater than 5.
  • microstrip antennas also involve several drawbacks compared with conventional microwave antennas, e.g. narrow bandwidth (typically in the order of 2 %), a comparatively high dissipation power and therefore a lower gain (about 20 dB), a relatively poor end-fire radiation performance, and the possibility to excite surface waves.
  • narrow bandwidth typically in the order of 2
  • dissipation power typically in the order of 2
  • lower gain about 20 dB
  • the majority of conventional microwave antennas radiates most of the energy into only a half plane.
  • Various impedance matching networks have been investigated, but the feed network may become quite complex and lossy. It is possible, however, to find remedies against some of these disadvantages by using appropriate designs.
  • MLA Meander Line Antenna
  • Said MLA comprises one or more conductive radiation elements and a slow-wave meander line adapted to couple electrical signals between said conductive elements.
  • said meander line has an effective electrical length which affects the electrical length and operating characteristics of the MLA.
  • an antenna construction for mobile phones according to the GSM standard comprises a metallic plane and side walls limiting a box-shaped volume and a resonator element bent over a lateral edge of said plane.
  • said resonator element can be kept at a distance by means of a symmetrically arranged short-circuit element and a feeding.
  • the height of said antenna construction is very flat since the distance between the plane and the bent part of the resonator element attached above said plane is smaller than that between the front surface and the L-Shaped bent resonator element.
  • the disclosed antenna has a bandwidth of approximately 20 % and a high efficiency.
  • a modified monopole antenna with a compact size for small mobile devices which is specially suited for an adaptation to thin profile expansion cards such as the PC standard card as well as other mobile devices with small form factors.
  • This antenna comprises a substantially horizontal ground plane from which a radiator element protrudes which extends upwardly from a central location on the ground plane and bends away from the mobile device.
  • the shape of the radiator element allows the antenna to be retraced into a host device while minimizing the amount of space required to house the antenna in said device.
  • Particular embodiments of the herewith disclosed invention comprise hinging mechanisms to make the antenna more compact and switching mechanisms for an automatic activation of wireless functionality when the antenna is employed.
  • a low-profile broadband monopole antenna is disclosed.
  • Said antenna is operable over a predetermined range of frequency, thereby comprising a transmission line, a transformer network connected to one end of the transmission line, and at least one inductor-resistor network connected to an opposite end of said transformer network.
  • Said inductor-resistor network changes the effective electrical length of the antenna in such a way that the current distribution above and below said inductor-resistor network changes with the frequency of operation.
  • the US patent 6,188,366 is directed to a monopole antenna system that can be operated at a plurality of frequencies comprising a disk-shaped conductor, a first and a second ring-shaped conductor arranged in that order on the same plane.
  • a linear conductor is perpendicularly connected to the center of the disk-shaped conductor, and the outer edge of the disk-shaped conductor is connected to the inner edge of the first ring-shaped conductor via a first anti-resonance circuit.
  • the outer edge of the first ring-shaped conductor is connected to the inner edge of the second ring-shaped conductor via a second anti-resonance circuit.
  • an electrical blocking is obtained in such a way that electromagnetic waves of three different frequencies can be excited by the system from the linear conductor to the disk-shaped conductor, the first ring-shaped conductor and the second ring-shaped conductor.
  • the US patent 6,181,286 pertains to an integrated dual-mode antenna which can be used as a satellite or terrestrial antenna. It comprises a quadrifilar antenna and a monopole antenna positioned within said quadrifilar antenna, thereby being independent of said quadrifilar antenna. Due to the fact that said monopole antenna has no electromagnetic field in its center, interference or blockage of signals transmitted by the monopole antenna do not occur, thus allowing the antenna to function as if it was completely isolated. This feature facilitates the co-location of said monopole antenna within said quadrifilar antenna without any loss in performance.
  • WO 00/76023 relates to a flat-plate monopole antenna comprising a conductive ground plane, a conductive radiating plate, an antenna interface terminal, and a resonant network for defining operating characteristics of said monopole antenna.
  • the conductive radiating plate is spaced apart from the ground plane and, together with the ground plane, defines a cavity therebetween.
  • Said antenna interface terminal is in communication with the cavity and is electrically isolated from the ground plane and the radiating plate.
  • the resonant network includes an inductive element electrically coupled between the interface terminal and the radiating plate.
  • a problem that arises from standard monopole antennas is the dependence on the ground plane as a conjugate radiation element, as well as its small cross-section.
  • the former characteristic has the effect of placing the user in capacitive contact with radiating portions of the antenna system, while the latter provides for high field strengths in close proximity to the antenna, which can produce radiation densities that may exceed government safety limits if adequate spacing or shielding cannot be obtained.
  • the near-field reduction in the above-described MLA is due to its spatially distributed radiating sections serving to form the far-field radiation pattern. At some distance from the antenna, the far-field intensities of both antennas are identical, thereby assuming equal losses.
  • An active power control can reduce the RF power output from the transmitter to a lower level than that achieved with an omni-directional antenna, thereby producing the same received signal level.
  • the underlying invention describes a low-cost solution for an antenna structure which allows an integration of the antenna on the same substrate where the RF front-end chip (chip sets) is (are) placed.
  • the independent claim 1 and the dependent claims 2 to 4 refer to a planar monopole antenna having an omni-directional radiation pattern formed by a conductive patch which is used as a radiation element of a mobile computing and/or communication device and/or a base station for the transmission and/or reception of microwaves within a predetermined bandwidth of operation, characterized in that
  • independent claim 5 and the dependent claim 6 relate to an antenna system of a mobile computing and/or communication device and/or a base station used for the transmission and/or reception of microwaves within a predetermined bandwidth of operation, in which at least two planar monopole antennas having omni-directional radiation patterns, each formed by a conductive patch used as a radiation element are applied.

  • Fig. 5 depicts the radiation characteristics of said monopole antenna 106 in case of an open reflector box 102 with a finite size at 5 GHz, in which the maximum gain G max of approximately +1.5 dBi is obtained at an azimuthal angle ⁇ of approximately ⁇ 60°. Thereby, it can be observed that the maximum gain is theoretically around 1.5 dBi at 60° elevation.

  • Fig. 8 shows an omni-directional antenna pattern at an elevation angle ⁇ of 90°.
  • FIG. 9 shows a simulation for one embodiment of the proposed monopole antenna 106 with a very small reflector box 102 having a size of approximately 5 ⁇ 5 ⁇ 1 cm 3 .
  • Fig. 10 exhibits the simulated radiation characteristics of said monopole antenna 106 for the reflector box 102 depicted in Fig. 9 which can be observed when an omni-directional diagram is obtained. Due to the simplified simulation model and the small sizes of the reflector box 102 and its reflector slot 202 at the bottom part of said reflector box 102, some back plane peaks may occur.
  • Fig. 9 shows a simulation for one embodiment of the proposed monopole antenna 106 with a very small reflector box 102 having a size of approximately 5 ⁇ 5 ⁇ 1 cm 3 .
  • Fig. 10 exhibits the simulated radiation characteristics of said monopole antenna 106 for the reflector box 102 depicted in Fig. 9 which can be observed when an omni-directional diagram is obtained. Due to the simplified simulation model and the small sizes of the reflector box
  • FIG. 11 depicts the frequency characteristic of a simulated scattering parameter S 11 according to the proposed embodiment of the underlying invention, in which a singularity is obtained at approximately 5.3 GHz, simulated for structures comprising a small reflector box 102 with a finite size without any optimization to specific requirements.
  • the proposed concept is quite simple and can be realized with less cost compared with the solutions according to the cited state of the art.
  • the total size of the radiation element 106 is smaller than the size of comparable radiation elements according to the state of the art.
  • Glossary Term Brief Explanation Access Point (AP) Antenna An omni-directional antenna or multiple panel (directional) antennas mounted on a tall tower or building.
  • Antenna Directivity The ratio of the maximum radiation intensity to the average radiation intensity (averaged over a sphere). It is a measure of how focused an antenna coverage pattern is in a given direction.
  • a theoretical loss-less antenna element, referred to as a isotropic element has 0 dBi directive gain equally distributed in all three dimensions.
  • antennas are normally designed to focus or concentrate the antenna pattern only in the direction of the radio link, thereby maximizing energy usage.
  • the directivity of any source, other than isotropic, is always greater than unity.
  • Antenna Efficiency A parameter which is used to compare basic antenna radiation elements. It is a measure of how much of the electrical power supplied to an antenna element is converted to electromagnetic power. A hundred per cent efficient antenna would theoretically convert all input power into radiated power, with no loss to resistive or dielectric elements. Thereby, the total antenna efficiency accounts for the following losses: - reflection due to mismatches between the feeding transmission line and the antenna, and - antenna conductor and dielectric losses.
  • Antenna Gain The product of the directivity and the efficiency of an antenna.
  • This parameter is used to compare different antenna radiation characteristics. Unlike directivity, it takes into account both the directive property of the antenna, as well as how efficiently it transforms available input power into radiated power. If the efficiency is not 100 %, the gain is less than the directivity.
  • the reference is a lossless isotropic antenna
  • the gain is expressed in dBi (decibels as referenced to an isotropic antenna element).
  • An isotropic antenna is a theoretical point source radiating equal power in all directions, resulting in a perfect spherical pattern. This ideal reference point is defined as 0 dBi.
  • the reference is a half-wave dipole antenna, the gain is expressed in dBd (decibels as referenced to a dipole antenna element).
  • Antenna Pattern A graphical representation for the radiation of an antenna as a function of the azimuthal angle and/or elevation angle. Antenna radiation performance is usually measured and recorded in two orthogonal principal planes (e.g. E-Plane and H-plane or vertical and horizontal planes). The pattern is usually plotted either in polar or rectangular coordinates.
  • the pattern of most WLAN antennas contains a main lobe and several minor lobes, termed side lobes. A side lobe occurring in space in the direction opposite to the main lobe is called back lobe.
  • Chu-Harrington Limit A theoretical limit (curve) relating the volumetric size of an antenna element to its quality or bandwidth of operation.

  • Directional Antenna An antenna having the property of radiating or receiving electromagnetic waves more effectively in some directions than in others.
  • a directional antenna is usually defined as uni-directional and not omni-directional.
  • Effective Radiated Power ERP In a given direction, the relative gain of a transmitting antenna with respect to the maximum directivity of a half-wave dipole multiplied by the net power accepted by the antenna from the connected transmitter.
  • EIRP is the effective radiated power with respect to the directivity of an isotropic radiator.
  • Frequency Bandwidth The range of frequencies within which the performance of the antenna, with respect to some characteristics, conforms to a specified standard. In this context, the VSWR of an antenna is the main bandwidth-limiting factor.
  • Gain Pattern Normalizing the power/field to that of a reference antenna yields a gain pattern. When the reference is an isotropic antenna, the gain is expressed in dBi. When the reference is a half-wave dipole in free space, the gain is expressed in dBd.
  • Half-Wave Dipole A wire antenna consisting of two straight collinear conductors of equal length, separated by a small feeding gap, with each conductor approximately a quarter-wavelength long.
  • Isotropic Radiator A hypothetical, lossless antenna having equal radiation intensity in all directions.
  • the gain in dBi is referenced to that of an isotropic antenna (which is defined as 0 dBi).

  • a linear array has a higher gain than a single radiator, and its radiation pattern can be synthesized to meet various antenna performance requirements such as upper side lobe suppression. It should be noted that the gain of any antenna is proportional to its size.
  • Meander Line Antenna A new type of three-dimensional radiation element, made from a patented combination of a loop antenna and frequency-tuning meander lines.
  • Microstrip Antenna An antenna which consists of a thin metallic conductor bonded to a thin grounded dielectric substrate. An example of such antenna is the microstrip patch. Normalized Pattern Normalizing the power/field with respect to its maximum value yields a normalized power/field pattern with a maximum value of unity (or 0 dB). Omni-directional Antenna An antenna having an essentially non-directional pattern in a given plane of the antenna and a directional pattern in any orthogonal plane.
  • the omni-directional plane is the horizontal plane spanned by the x- and y-axis.
  • Radiation Efficiency The ratio of the total power radiated by an antenna to the net power accepted by the antenna from the connected transmitter.
  • Return Loss The difference between the power input to and the power reflected from a discontinuity in a transmission circuit. This parameter is often expressed as the ratio in decibels of the power incident on an antenna terminal to the power reflected from the terminal at a particular frequency or in a band of frequencies.
