Definitions

  • the present invention relates in a manner general, to an omnidirectional antenna for the transmission and / or reception of audio and / or video.
  • the invention relates to an antenna omnidirectional for transmission and / or receiving audio and / or video signals, comprising a plurality of antenna elements.
  • the signal reception system electromagnetic video at 2.4 Ghz includes usually a high gain omnidirectional antenna behind which a pre-amplifier is placed for improve the noise factor and the dynamics of the receiver.
  • the present invention aims to propose a antenna of the type indicated previously usable by example at frequencies of the order of 500 Mhz or 2.4 Ghz and which allows to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the technique.
  • the antenna according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a number sufficient spaced identical antenna elements substantially uniformly in the same plane, in Vertical linear polarization and electrically powered radio-electrically by currents substantially similarly phase and of the same amplitude, and of which each main lobe radiation is separated from the adjacent lobe by the maximum a wavelength ⁇ working in the direction of propagation of the wave.
  • each main lobe of radiation has a opening substantially 90 ° in the vertical planes and horizontal.
  • the antenna comprises at least two, preferably four antenna elements.
  • each antenna element comprises an element radiator or radiator consisting of a continuous loop taking the geometric form of two squares located in the same plane having a common vertex and perimeter substantially equal to 2 ⁇ , and an associated reflector.
  • the biquad antenna element constitutes an element particularly preferred antenna in the context of the invention because of the 90 ° opening of its lobe principal and his appreciable gain of 10 dbi.
  • a point situated on the distance connecting the feed center to the associated reflector of an element antenna is separated, of a length equal to ⁇ , from a corresponding point located on the distance connecting the feed center to the associated reflector of an element adjacent antenna.
  • the congestion caused by the antenna according to the invention is minimal.
  • the feeding centers of two adjacent antenna elements are separated from one length equal to ⁇ .
  • the feeding centers of the elements antenna are located on a circle.
  • the antenna elements are connected to a coupler via coaxial cable power supply.
  • the antenna according to the invention comprises a set of four elements biquad antenna 1, each comprising the reflector 2 and the biquad 3 itself connected to a coupler 5 channels, indicated in 4. This link is provided by via a coaxial power supply cable 5 energy.
  • each biquad 3 is tangent to the common circle.
  • Figure 1 also shows the opening angle of 90 ° of the main lobe of each antenna element, two adjacent lobes being distant from one another length ⁇ . Therefore the four antenna elements biquad 1 cover a total angle of 360 °.
  • biquad 3 is configured in closed loop forming two squares in one same plane, united by a common vertex and each side is substantially equal to ⁇ / 4.
  • This biquad consists of a bare copper wire soldered to the coaxial cable 5, both ends of the copper wire being themselves secured, if necessary, to the reflector 2 by means any way to stiffen the assembly.
  • the reflector 2 is formed of a metal plate generally made of copper. Steel, especially stainless steel or polychlorinated biphenyl (“PCB”) can be used as well. In this case, it may be advantageous to solder, for example copper, to the passage opening of the coaxial cable 5 formed in this reflector, so as to ensure a good physical and electrical connection.
  • solder for example copper
  • Such an assembly is known having been described for example in "Biquad Antenna Construction", Martybugs.net, Wireless Networking Info (http://martbugs.net/wireless/biquad) .
  • FIG. 2 also shows that each element antenna 1, via its reflector 2, is secured to a support 7 which can take the form of four angled profiles.
  • this support is Stainless steel.
  • other materials particularly insulating materials such as polymethyl methacrylate may be used.
  • the antenna according to the invention is devoid of support for antenna elements but includes a set of four biquad antenna elements 1 each comprising the reflector 2 and the biquad 3 connected to the coupler 4 by through the coaxial cable 5.
  • the reflector 2 is configured also in antenna element support.
  • each of the above biquad antenna elements may be easily determined from the values of parameters expressed in the description above and this, according to the working wavelength ⁇ in air, a shortening coefficient K, being applied in case the antenna elements are drowned in an electrically insulating medium.
  • each of the four biquads 3 having its feeding center in 6, is connected to a 2.4 Ghz coupler indicated in 4 and shown in Figure 3.
  • This connection is made via a coaxial cable 5 of an impedance 50 ⁇ , semi-rigid power supply cable covered with an electrically insulating material.
  • each feeding center being distant from a length ⁇ of an adjacent feeding center, the diameter of the circle connecting these four centers is, by therefore, 174 mm.
  • the length of each biquad that is to say, the distance separating the two vertices the more distant, is 90 mm, each of these biquads being 17 mm distant from the associated reflector 2.
  • Each reflector consists of a 100 mm copper plate x 100 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm fixed on a antenna element support 7, two opposing reflectors being separated by 140 mm.
  • the length of its linear conductors 11 is 19 mm each, the cylindrical conductor 12, formed of a bar made of copper or brass, having a diameter of 8.73 mm and a length of 65 mm determined by the curve at the figure 4.
  • each of the four biquads 3 has its center power supply and is connected to a 500 Mhz coupler indicated in 4 and shown in Figure 3 and this, by via a coaxial power cable 5 (impedance: 50 ⁇ ).
  • the diameter of the circle connecting these four centers is 850 mm.
  • each biquads 3 consisting of a continuous copper wire, are configured in two squares equal, with a common vertex, each side of which has a length of about 150 mm (1/4 wave).
  • the length of each biquad (distance separating the two vertices the more distant) is 420 mm and each of these biquads is 85 mm distant from the associated reflector 2.
  • each reflector 2 consists of a steel plate stainless steel 680 mm in length and about 600 mm in height so that two opposing reflectors are separated by 680 mm.
  • each reflector is provided of a hole 13 for the passage of the coaxial cable 5, orifice around which copper is brazed.
  • Coupler 4 for its part, is identical to that of Example 1 except for the length of the conductor cylindrical which is 320 mm as determined by the curve in Figure 4.
  • each of the four biquads 3 is connected to a 2.4 Ghz coupler indicated in 4 and shown in Figure 3 and this, by via a coaxial cable 5 power (impedance: 50 ⁇ ).

  • two adjacent biquad antenna elements are separated by a length ⁇ separating, in this case, the respective centers 13 of the two reflectors 2, that is to say the respective holes for the passage of the cables coaxial 5.
  • the diameter of the circle that connects four centers 13 of the reflectors is about 180 mm.
  • the antenna according to the invention is revealed particularly interesting to fight against typical swell phenomenon at the sea. Indeed, the image video received at 2.4 Ghz is of perfect quality exploitable and without stall even by 4 m swell between two boats about 6 km apart.
  • this antenna can be adapted to other frequencies than 2.4 Ghz and in particular at frequencies of the order of 500 Mhz for the radio link (telephone and "data") where it has been just as effective.
  • this antenna can be used both at the reception only on the show and can also find other applications such as transmission to 2 Mbits between ships.
