- the previously transmitted analog signals had disadvantages, especially with regard to the quality of the images received and the Scope of the signal content, so that a switch from the analog to the digital signals. Therefore, previously known antenna systems are not more suitable for digital signal reception. Because the previously known antennas are mainly polarized horizontally, they are not for digital Suitable signal reception, since these digital signals are broadcast vertically. These antennas (for example Yagi) also build very large and have disadvantageously a preferred direction.

For example, a bandwidth can be set in the DVB-T area from about 470 MHz to 862 MHz. It also gets through this Antenna structure according to the invention achieves the required high adaptation. As well the antenna has a typical gain of +1.5 dB compared to a ⁇ / 2 dipole over the entire frequency range and also a very good one Omnidirectional and flat radiation pattern. Furthermore from The advantage that the antenna structure is completely without matching elements (such as coils or the like.) because their base impedance is close to a real 75-ohm value lies. This results in low losses with very little effort.
- the antenna structure is made of one Carrier structure-forming circuit board coated and formed conductive copper. So the antenna consists only of the antenna structure (radiator) and associated ground plane, where appropriate in continuations within the Ground plane structures can be present that are suppression of Cause jacket waves.
- This simple and basic structure enables the Antenna very easily from an etched or milled board, a wire bridge and a connection socket can be manufactured alone. This is a huge advantage regarding the manufacturing costs.
- the figure shows from 1 to 6 the development of the antenna according to the invention, wherein the framework conditions to be presented have been taken into account.
- a rectangle 1 is shown, which takes into account the receiving frequency range the available dimensions in principle shows.

It has pointed out that this eleven-sided antenna structure for the application Frequency range not only the required constant gain and above has the required good adaptation, but also one towards known antennas has unusual, very high profit.
- the antenna structure shown in FIG. 5 and its associated ground plane consist of a conductive copper, which is on a circuit board (non-conductive Support structure) is arranged.
- a circuit board non-conductive Support structure

- This further base point 13 serves that for a further frequency range, especially band III, another antenna, especially a rod-shaped one Antenna 15, can be connected.
- This additional antenna can for example on the non-conductive support structure or starting from that another base 13 as a rod-shaped structure detached from the non-conductive Support structure can be arranged.
- the latter alternative has the advantage that the antenna 15 via a corresponding connection (for example ball joint) in the Area of the further base point 13 regardless of the rest of the antenna structure can be aligned.
- FIG. 6 also shows that parallel or approximately parallel to the side edges 5, 6 and / or 7, 8 a conductive area 16 and in between non-conductive area 17 is present.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Antenne, insbesondere eine Antenne für den Empfang digitaler terrestrischer Signale wie DVB-T Signale, gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to an antenna, in particular an antenna for reception digital terrestrial signals such as DVB-T signals, according to the characteristics of the Preamble of claim 1.
Bisher war es bekannt, daß die von Sendern abgestrahlten Funkwellen (Signale) über Antennen, wie z.B. Stabantennen, empfangen werden. Die Antenne, insbesondere die an sich bekannte Marconi-Antenne, war auf λ/4 der Funkwellen abgestimmt, so daß damit eine ausreichende Bandbreite für den Fernsehempfang möglich war. Die bisher abgestrahlten analogen Signale hatten jedoch Nachteile, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Qualität der empfangenen Bilder und des Umfanges der Signalinhalte, so daß eine Umstellung von den analogen hin zu den digitalen Signalen erfolgt. Von daher sind bisher bekannte Antennensysteme nicht mehr geeignet für den digitalen Signalempfang. Da die bisher bekannten Antennen hauptsächlich horizontal polarisiert sind, sind sie nicht für den digitalen Signalempfang geeignet, da diese digitalen Signale vertikal ausgestrahlt werden. Diese Antennen (zum Beipiel Yagi) bauen außerdem sehr groß und haben nachteiligerweise eine Vorzugsrichtung. Weiterhin benötigt man für den Empfang digitaler Fernsehsignale nur einen geringen Pegel, um ein einwandfreies Bild zu erhalten. Ist der Pegel allerdings zu gering, erhält man gar kein Ausgangssignal (Bild, Ton). Hierfür waren Stabantennen zwar geeignet, allerdings haben diese nicht die erforderlichen Empfangseigenschaften und benötigen einen zu großen Platzbedarf.It was previously known that the radio waves (signals) emitted by transmitters via antennas, e.g. Rod antennas. The antenna, in particular the Marconi antenna, known per se, was on λ / 4 of the radio waves tuned so that there is sufficient bandwidth for television reception was possible. However, the previously transmitted analog signals had disadvantages, especially with regard to the quality of the images received and the Scope of the signal content, so that a switch from the analog to the digital signals. Therefore, previously known antenna systems are not more suitable for digital signal reception. Because the previously known antennas are mainly polarized horizontally, they are not for digital Suitable signal reception, since these digital signals are broadcast vertically. These antennas (for example Yagi) also build very large and have disadvantageously a preferred direction. You also need for the reception digital television signals only a low level to get a perfect picture receive. However, if the level is too low, no output signal is obtained (Picture, sound). Rod antennas were suitable for this, but they have not the required reception properties and require one that is too large Space requirements.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Antennensystem für den Empfang insbesondere digitaler terrestrischer Signale bereitzustellen, die klein und kostengünstig ist sowie über den gesamten Frequenzbereich einen konstanten hohen Gewinn und eine gute Anpassung sowie Rundstrahlcharakteristik aufweist.The invention is therefore based on the object of an antenna system for the To provide reception especially digital terrestrial signals that are small and is inexpensive and a constant over the entire frequency range high profit and good adaptation as well as omnidirectional characteristics.
Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß die Antennenstruktur die Grundform eines spitzwinkligen Dreieckes aufweist, dessen Seitenkanten einen zumindest einmal spitzförmigen Verlauf haben. Durch den spitzförmigen Verlauf der Seitenkanten wird eine wesentlich verbesserte Marconi-Antenne realisiert, die eine sehr hohe Bandbreite hat. So läßt sich beispielsweise in dem DVB-T-Bereich eine Bandbreite von etwa 470 MHz bis 862 MHz erreichen. Außerdem wird durch diese erfindungsgemäße Antennenstruktur die geforderte hohe Anpassung erzielt. Ebenso hat die Antenne einen typischen Gewinn von +1,5 dB gegenüber einem λ/2-Dipol über den gesamten Frequenzbereich und zusätzlich eine sehr gute Rundstrahlcharakteristik sowie flache Abstrahlcharakteristik. Weiterhin ist von Vorteil, daß die Antennenstruktur völlig ohne Anpaßglieder (wie z.B. Spulen oder dergl.) auskommt, da ihre Fußpunktimpedanz nahe einem reellen 75-Ohm-Wert liegt. Dadurch erhält man mit einem sehr geringen Aufwand geringe Verluste.According to the invention it is provided that the antenna structure has the basic shape of a has an acute-angled triangle, the side edges of which at least once have a pointed course. Due to the pointed shape of the side edges realized a significantly improved Marconi antenna, which is a very high one Has bandwidth. For example, a bandwidth can be set in the DVB-T area from about 470 MHz to 862 MHz. It also gets through this Antenna structure according to the invention achieves the required high adaptation. As well the antenna has a typical gain of +1.5 dB compared to a λ / 2 dipole over the entire frequency range and also a very good one Omnidirectional and flat radiation pattern. Furthermore from The advantage that the antenna structure is completely without matching elements (such as coils or the like.) because their base impedance is close to a real 75-ohm value lies. This results in low losses with very little effort.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Antennenstruktur aus auf einer die Trägerstruktur darstellenden Platine beschichteten und leitfähigem Kupfer gebildet. Damit besteht die Antenne lediglich aus der Antennenstruktur (Strahler) und der zugehörigen Massefläche, wobei gegebenenfalls in Weiterführungen innerhalb der Massefläche Strukturen vorhanden sein können, die eine Unterdrückung von Mantelwellen bewirken. Durch diesen einfachen und grundlegenden Aufbau kann die Antenne sehr leicht aus einer geätzten oder gefrästen Platine, einer Drahtbrücke und einer Anschlußbuchse allein gefertigt werden. Dies stellt einen großen Vorteil bezüglich der Fertigungskosten dar.In a further development of the invention, the antenna structure is made of one Carrier structure-forming circuit board coated and formed conductive copper. So the antenna consists only of the antenna structure (radiator) and associated ground plane, where appropriate in continuations within the Ground plane structures can be present that are suppression of Cause jacket waves. This simple and basic structure enables the Antenna very easily from an etched or milled board, a wire bridge and a connection socket can be manufactured alone. This is a huge advantage regarding the manufacturing costs.
Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung, aus denen sich entsprechende Vorteile ergeben, sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben und im Zusammenhang mit der folgenden Figurenbeschreibung erläutert. Further refinements of the invention, from which there are corresponding advantages result, are specified in the subclaims and in connection with the following figure description explained.
Die Figur zeigt von 1 bis 6 die Entwicklung der erfindungsgemäßen Antenne, wobei die noch darzustellenden Rahmenbedingungen berücksichtigt worden sind.The figure shows from 1 to 6 the development of the antenna according to the invention, wherein the framework conditions to be presented have been taken into account.
In Figur 1 ist ein Rechteck 1 gezeigt, welches unter Berücksichtigung des zu empfangenden Frequenzbereiches die zur Verfügung stehenden Ausmaße prinzipiell zeigt. Außerdem richten sich die Ausmaße des Rechteckes nach dem Design, wenn die Antenne als Zimmerantenne eingesetzt wird und keinen großen Bauraum einnehmen soll, um die Optik nicht zu stören.In Figure 1, a rectangle 1 is shown, which takes into account the receiving frequency range the available dimensions in principle shows. In addition, the dimensions of the rectangle depend on the design, if the antenna is used as an indoor antenna and does not have a large installation space should take in order not to disturb the optics.
Da ein solches Rechteck 1 noch nicht die gewünschten Eigenschaften aufweist,
kann daran gedacht werden, das Rechteck gemäß Figur 2 mit einer Spitze zu
versehen, um zu dem mit einem Dach versehenen rechteckförmigen Gebilde 2
gemäß Figur 2 zu kommen. Damit verbessern sich zwar die Empfangseigenschaften
und auch die Bandbreite, wobei sie jedoch immer noch nicht die gewünschten
Erfordernisse erfüllen.Since such a rectangle 1 does not yet have the desired properties,
can be thought of the rectangle according to Figure 2 with a tip
provided to the roof-shaped
Daher bietet es sich an, gemäß Figur 3 ein spitzwinkliges Dreieck 3 mit Seitenkanten
4 einzusetzen. Damit sind gegenüber den vorangegangenen Antennenstrukturen die
Empfangseigenschaften weiter verbessert, jedoch noch nicht optimal.It is therefore appropriate, according to FIG. 3, to form an acute-
Die optimale Antennenstruktur ergibt sich aus einer Struktur, die in Figur 4 gezeigt
ist. Dabei weisen die Seitenkanten 4 des spitzwinkligen Dreieckes 3 einen zumindest
einmal spitzförmigen Verlauf auf, wobei der spitzförmige Verlauf gebildet ist durch
Seitenkanten 5, 6 bzw. bei mehrmaligem spitzfömigen Verlauf auch durch
Seitenkanten 7, 8. Dabei gehen die Seitenkanten 5, 6 bzw. 7, 8 aus von der
(teilweise strichpunktiert gezeichnet) Seitenkante 4, wobei sie nicht genau von der
Seitenkante 4 ausgehen müssen, sondern auch direkt benachbart aus deren Nähe.The optimal antenna structure results from a structure shown in FIG. 4
is. The
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist die Antennenstruktur zu einer
gestrichelt eingezeichneten Grundachse 9 des Dreieckes 3 spiegelsymmetrisch,
wobei sich bei der in Figur 4 gezeigten Antennenstruktur aufgrund des zweimaligen
spitzförmigen Verlaufes eine elfeckige Antennenstruktur ergibt. Es hat sich
herausgestellt, daß diese elfeckige Antennenstruktur für den anzuwendenden
Frequenzbereich nicht nur den erforderlichen konstanten Gewinn und darüber
hinaus die erforderliche gute Anpassung aufweist, sondern auch einen gegenüber
bekannten Antennen ungewöhnlichen, sehr hohen Gewinn hat.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the antenna structure is one
In Figur 5 ist schließlich noch dargestellt, daß eine Spitze des Dreieckes 3 einen
Fußpunkt 10 der Antenne bildet. Um diesen Fußpunkt 10 herum ist eine
Massefläche 11 angeordnet. Innerhalb dieser Massefläche 11 verläuft, ohne eine
Verbindung zu der Massefläche 11, ausgehend von dem Fußpunkt 10 eine
Leiterbahn 12, an deren Ende eine Verbindung, insbesondere eine Buchse,
angeordnet wird, um die Antenne mit einem Gerät, insbesondere einem Verstärker,
das die empfangenen Signale verarbeitet, zu verbinden.In Figure 5 is finally shown that a tip of the
Die in Figur 5 gezeigte Antennenstruktur und deren zugehörige Massefläche bestehen aus einem leitfähigen Kupfer, welches auf einer Platine (nicht leitfähige Trägerstruktur) angeordnet ist. Eine solche Antenne kann noch mit einer Schutzoberfläche versehen (wie beispielsweise mit Kunststoff umspritzt werden) oder in einem Gehäuse angeordnet werden.The antenna structure shown in FIG. 5 and its associated ground plane consist of a conductive copper, which is on a circuit board (non-conductive Support structure) is arranged. Such an antenna can still be used with a Provide protective surface (such as, for example, overmolded with plastic) or be arranged in a housing.
Figur 6 zeigt eine Antennenstruktur, wie sie schon in Figur 5 gezeigt, mit den
gleichen Bezugsziffern versehen und erläutert worden ist. Im Gegensatz zu der in
Figur 5 gezeigten Antennenstruktur weist die in Figur 6 gezeigte Antennenstruktur
auf der nicht leitfähigen Trägerstruktur (Platine) einen weiteren Fußpunkt 13 auf, der
über eine elektrische Verbindung 14 sowie mit der Leiterbahn 12 zum Beispiel mit
der auf der Platine angeordneten Buchse (nicht dargestellt) verbunden ist. Dieser
weitere Fußpunkt 13 dient dazu, daß für einen weiteren Frequenzbereich,
insbesondere Band III, eine weitere Antenne, insbesondere eine stabförmige
Antenne 15, angeschlossen werden kann. Diese weitere Antenne kann
beispielsweise auf der nicht leitfähigen Trägerstruktur oder ausgehend von dem
weiteren Fußpunkt 13 als stabförmiges Gebilde losgelöst von der nicht leitfähigen
Trägerstruktur angeordnet sein. Die letztgenannte Alternative hat den Vorteil, daß
die Antenne 15 über eine entsprechende Verbindung (zum Beispiel Kugelgelenk) im
Bereich des weiteren Fußpunktes 13 unabhängig von der übrigen Antennenstruktur
ausgerichtet werden kann. FIG. 6 shows an antenna structure, as already shown in FIG. 5, with the
provided with the same reference numbers and explained. In contrast to that in
FIG. 5 shows the antenna structure shown in FIG. 6
on the non-conductive support structure (board) on another
Alternativ oder ergänzend ist in Figur 6 noch gezeigt, daß parallel oder in etwa prallel
zu den Seitenkanten 5, 6 und/oder 7, 8 ein leitfähiger Bereich 16 und dazwischen ein
nicht leitfähiger Bereich 17 vorhanden ist. Zusätzlich ist zur Sicherstellung der
elektrischen Eigenschaften der beiderseitige leitfähige Bereich 16 am oberen
Abschluß der Antennenstruktur durch einen weiteren leitfähigen Bereich,
insbesondere eine leitfähige Brücke, 18, verbunden. Dieser leitfähige Bereich kann
auf der nicht leitfähigen Trägerstruktur (Platine) oder als separates Bauteil (zum
Beispiel Drahtbrücke) ausgebildet sein. Es hat sich bei Messungen gezeigt, daß der
(wie beispielsweise in Figur 5 gezeigt) leitfähige Mittenbereich zwischen den
Seitenkanten 5 bis 8 stromarm ist und somit nur unwesentlich zur Funktion der
Antennenstruktur beiträgt. Deshalb reicht es aus, wenn die in etwa parallel zu den
Seitenkanten 5 bis 8 vorhandenen Bereiche als leitfähige Bereiche, die stromführend
sind, ausgebildet sind. Der so entstehende Zwischenbereich (nicht leitfähiger
Bereich 17) bleibt frei bzw. kann für die Anordnung der Antenne 15 genutzt werden.As an alternative or in addition, FIG. 6 also shows that parallel or approximately parallel
to the
Zusammenfassend beruht bezüglich der erfindungsgemäßen Antennenstruktur die
elektrisch wirksame Neuerung darauf, daß die Grundstruktur eine selbstähnliche
Struktur ist, deren endgültige Abmessungen an die speziellen kompakten
Abmessungen, die vom zur Verfügung stehenden Bauraum und dem
anzuwendenden Frequenzbereich herrühren, angepaßt und entscheidend von einer
rein selbstähnlichen Struktur abgeändert ist. Das heißt, daß die Antennenstruktur nur
mit diesen speziellen Strahler- und Masseabmessungen brauchbar ist. Ihre Form ist
also eine auf die eingangs genannten Parameter optimierte Struktur, die ihre
Wirksamkeit aus der erfindungsgemäßen Kombination einer abgewandelten
selbstähnlichen Struktur und den möglichen Abweichungen von dieser zugunsten
der mechanischen Größe erhält. Das Grundprinzip der Antenne ist ein Strahler, der
dreimal ineinandergebaut wird, jedesmal mit verschiedener Größe. Die Form des
Einzelstrahlers ist eine Speerspitze, die sich alleine schon durch eine gute
Breitbandigkeit auszeichnet. Sie wird dreimal wiederholt und ineinander
verschachtelt. Dies gibt eine Tannenbaumform, die auf dem Kopf steht (siehe
beipielsweise Figuren 5 und 6). Da für eine Bandbreite von etwas 400 Mhz bei einer
Startfrequenz von 470 MHz der Strahler zu lang für die maximale Grundgröße von 8
x 16 cm sein würde, muß die rein selbstähnliche Struktur abgeändert werden, damit
die Antenne samt Masse auf die Platine paßt. Die selbstähnliche Struktur liegt in
ihrer Dimension zwischen einem Fünfeck und einem Dreieck, so daß ein Kompromiß
geschlossen wird, wobei die rein selbstähnliche Struktur so der Platinengröße
angepaßt ist, daß die elektrischen Eigenschaften erhalten bleiben. Die Antenne
erhält also die positiven elektrischen Eigenschaften unter den besonderen
Größenanforderungen. Die Struktur wird aus einem Schnitt von Dreieck und Fünfeck
konstruiert, wobei die entstehende Struktur annähernd die Eigenschaften eines rein
selbstähnlichen Strahlers behält. Bei dieser Struktur sind die Abmessungen
optimiert, ohne die breitbandige Wirkung zu verlieren. Mit dem gezeigten und
beschriebenen Antennensystem ist ein Aufbau auf einer Platine möglich, die sehr
viel kleiner ist als die bisherigen Antennen mit vergleichbaren elektrischen
Eigenschaften. Damit ist der Aufbau auf einer einseitig bedruckten, rechteckigen
Platine möglich. Diese Antenne kann leicht in ein aufrechtstehendes Gehäuse
eingebaut werden, was den Einsatz als vertikal polarisierte Zimmerantenne
leichtmacht. Darüber hinaus ist sie als portable DVB-T-Antenne hervorragen
geeignet. Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel erfolgt die Zufuhr des Signals vom
Strahlerfußpunkt (untere Spitze des Elfecks) zu der Buchse, an der das Koaxialkabel
angebracht wird, wodurch eine unsymmetrische Parallelleitung realisiert ist. Diese
führt durch die Massefläche zu dem Buchsenlötpunkt. Die Massefläche wird dabei
gespalten, um eine Ausbildung von Einzelflächen mit verschiedenen Strömen zu
verhindern, werden die beiden Masseteile durch Drahtbrücken elektrisch verbunden,
so daß die Brücke über der Paralleldrahtleitung liegt. Dabei ist auch die Struktur der
Massefläche 11 von Bedeutung. Sie ist zwar nicht selbstähnlich, kann aber auch
nicht beliebig geändert werden, ohne daß die Antenne schlechter strahlt. Die
Massefläche 11 stellt somit eine optimale Ausnutzung der sehr kleinen zur
Verfügung stehenden Fläche dar, wobei aber ihre elektrische Funktion sichergestellt
ist. Die Masse (Massefläche 11) als Gegengewicht zum Strahler muß groß sein.
Ansonsten sucht sich die Antenne die Masse auf dem Anschlußkabel. Daher breiten
sich auf dem angeschlossenen Speisekabel bei dieser Antenne Mantelwellen aus,
die durch eine Mantelwellensperre beseitigt oder zumindest vom Kabel ferngehalten
werden müssen. Dies ist wichtig, damit das Kabel nicht als Antennenteil funktioniert
und die Antennenrundstrahleigenschaft gestört oder das Kabel berührempfindlich
wird. Die Mantelwellensperre kann durch einen Ferrit auf dem Speisekabel, der
Buchse der Antenne oder durch einen Ferrit auf einem Stück Koaxialkabel, welches
einen Teil der Paralleldrahtleitung ersetzt, realisiert werden. Sie kann auch durch
eine gedruckte Schaltung aus Induktivität und Kondensator auf der nicht leitfähigen
Trägerstruktur realisiert werden. Zur Realisierung einer aktiven Ausführung des
Antennensystems ist es denkbar, innerhalb der Fläche der Antennenmasse
zwischen der Antenne (Antennenstruktur) , die auch dort realisierbar ist, einen
beispielsweise aus SMD-Bauteilen bestehenden Antennenverstärker unterzubringen.In summary, based on the antenna structure according to the invention
electrically effective innovation that the basic structure is a self-similar
Structure is, its final dimensions to the special compact
Dimensions that depend on the available space and the
frequency range to be applied, adapted and decisive from one
purely self-similar structure is changed. That means that the antenna structure only
with these special radiator and mass dimensions is usable. Your shape is
in other words, a structure that is optimized for the parameters mentioned at the beginning
Effectiveness from the combination according to the invention of a modified one
self-similar structure and the possible deviations from this in favor
the mechanical size. The basic principle of the antenna is a radiator that
is built into each other three times, each with a different size. The shape of the
Single spotlight is a spearhead that can be distinguished by a good one
Broadband characterizes. It is repeated three times and one inside the other
nested. This gives a fir tree shape that is upside down (see
for example Figures 5 and 6). As for a bandwidth of about 400 MHz at one
Starting frequency of 470 MHz the emitter too long for the maximum basic size of 8
x 16 cm, the purely self-similar structure must be modified so that
the antenna and mass fit on the board. The self-similar structure lies in
their dimension between a pentagon and a triangle, making a compromise
is closed, the purely self-similar structure so the board size
is adapted that the electrical properties are retained. The antenna
maintains the positive electrical properties among the special ones
Size requirements. The structure is made up of a triangle and pentagon intersection
constructed, the resulting structure approximately the properties of a pure
self-similar emitter. With this structure, the dimensions are
optimized without losing the broadband effect. With the shown and
described antenna system is possible to build on a board, the very
is much smaller than previous antennas with comparable electrical
Characteristics. This means that the structure is rectangular, printed on one side
PCB possible. This antenna can easily be placed in an upright housing
can be installed, which can be used as a vertically polarized indoor antenna
easy to make. It is also outstanding as a portable DVB-T antenna
suitable. In one embodiment, the signal is supplied from the
Spotlight base (lower tip of the elf) to the socket on which the coaxial cable
is attached, whereby an asymmetrical parallel line is realized. This
leads through the ground plane to the socket soldering point. The ground surface is thereby
split to form single areas with different currents
prevent, the two mass parts are electrically connected by wire bridges,
so that the bridge lies over the parallel wire line. The structure of the
Die in den Figuren 5 und 6 gezeigten Antennenstrukturen werden beispielsweise auf einer standardisierten Platine untergebracht, wobei eine solche Platine beispielsweise einen Dielektrizitätsfaktor von εr=4,8 und eine Standardbeschichtungsdicke von 70 µm aufweist. Dies sind beispielhafte herkömmliche Eigenschaften einer Platine, so daß die gezeigte Antennenstruktur kostengünstig herzustellen ist. Je nach Veränderung dieser Eigenschaften der Platine, genauso wie Änderungen der äußeren Abmessungen, können die Eigenschaften der Antenne verändert werden.The antenna structures shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are accommodated, for example, on a standardized circuit board, such a circuit board having, for example, a dielectric factor of ε r = 4.8 and a standard coating thickness of 70 μm. These are exemplary conventional properties of a circuit board, so that the antenna structure shown can be produced inexpensively. Depending on the change in these properties of the board, as well as changes in the external dimensions, the properties of the antenna can be changed.
