Definitions
- the present invention relates to a reader or transmitter equipped with a shielded antenna.
- the invention relates to such a device provided for communicating with transponders placed inside a communication volume defined by the antenna, in particular by the geometric dimensions thereof.
- the communication volume is provided inside a rectangular cylinder or parallelepiped around which the antenna is arranged.
- a central coil 2 defining inside its turns 4 a communication volume 6 and, on either side of this coil 2, two shielding coils 8 and 9.
- the coils 8 and 9 are arranged at a certain distance from the coil 2.
- the coils 8 and 9 are supplied with a phase shift of 180 ° relative to the central communication coil.
- a sharp decrease in the amplitude of the field of the shielded antenna occurs between the three regions dominated by the respective fields of the three coils considered.
- regions 11 and 12 for decreasing the amplitude of the magnetic field thus result from the aforementioned 180 ° phase shift for feeding the shielding coils.
- the decrease in the magnetic field is relatively large, so that communication between the reader or transmitter transponders can be assured in these regions. Therefore, the active area ZA of the shielded antenna shown in FIG. figure 1 is limited within the geometrical dimensions of the coil 2. This represents a major disadvantage for such a device.
- the shielded antenna of the prior art according to the figure 1 has a useful communication volume of a relatively small length ZA with respect to the total length L of the shielded antenna.
- An object of the present invention is to overcome the major disadvantage mentioned above by providing a reader or transmitter with a shielded antenna whose useful area of communication substantially corresponds to the total length of the shielded antenna.
- the document WO9638877 A1 discloses an article surveillance system comprising a plurality of coils.
- the invention relates to a reader or transmitter intended to communicate with transponders whose antenna is formed of several turns defining a central axis and a global interior volume, characterized in that this antenna comprises a first group of turns forming at least two first coils and a second group of turns forming two second coils, these first and second coils being supplied in phase quadrature and arranged to generate a communication field with an approximately constant amplitude on substantially the entire length of said antenna along its central axis and decreasing rapidly outside this antenna away from it.
- the shielded antenna of the prior art shown in FIG. figure 1 by incorporating two compensation coils between the central coil and respectively the two end coils, these two compensation coils being supplied with a phase shift of 90 ° relative to the other three coils.
- These two compensation coils are supplied with a phase shift of 180 ° between them, so as to quickly cancel their resulting field out of the antenna, and are arranged relative to the first three coils shown in FIG. figure 1 in order to compensate for the decrease of the magnetic field in the regions 11 and 12, ie between the central coil 2 and the end coils 8 and 9.
- FIG. 1 a first embodiment of the invention.
- the coils 8 and 9 are fed by the power supply and control means 20 of the reader 22 with a phase shift of 180 ° relative to the central coil 6.
- the coils 16 and 17 are fed one relative to the other with a phase shift also of 180 ° and with a phase shift of 90 ° relative to the other coils 6, 8 and 9.
- the two coils 16 and 17 are arranged so that their magnetic field along the central axis 24 of the antenna 14 is maximum respectively in the two regions 11 and 12 where the resulting magnetic field for the three coils 6, 8 and 9 decreases or vanishes, as shown in the graph of FIG. figure 2 which shows these amplitudes of the magnetic field H along the central axis 24 of the antenna.
- Power phase shifts are described by a cosine (Sin) and sin (Sin) supply with one of the two +/- arithmetic signs placed in front.
- each coil along the central axis 24 and the characteristics of each coil are determined so as to obtain a relatively constant amplitude of the magnetic field 30 within the volume 32 defined by the antenna, that is, that is to say by the set of coils defining a total length L on the axis 24.
- the shielding of the main antenna that is to say of the central antenna 6, is arranged in such a way that the overall volume defined by the set of coils provided constitutes the Useful volume of communication with transponders.
- the shielding is integrated into the antenna itself. Inside this antenna, no significant reduction or cancellation of the magnetic field takes place along the active zone ZA, so that the reader according to the invention can communicate with any transponder situated inside the volume 32 defined by the set of coils forming the antenna.
- the cancellation of the magnetic field due to the counter-antennas fed with a phase shift of 180 ° is compensated by the arrangement of coils fed in quadrature phase.
- the vector sum of all the fields generated by the set of coils corresponds to a quadratic sum between the resulting field of the first group of coils 6, 8 and 9 and the resulting field of the second group of coils 16 and 17.
- Each coil is formed at least 1 turn.
- the first group of coils constitutes a first group of turns while the second group of coils constitutes a second group of turns.
- the two coils 16 and 17 are supplied with a phase shift of 180 ° so as to ensure mutual shielding out of the antenna.
- the electrical diagram of the power supply of the coils is given to the figure 4 .
- FIG. 3 To the figure 3 is shown a variant of the arrangement of an antenna according to the invention.
- the position of the five coils 6, 8, 9, 16 and 17 is shown schematically in the upper drawing.
- the central spool 6 has 28 turns and extends along the axis 24 between -13.5 cm and 13.5 cm.
- the coils 8 and 9 are each formed of 18 turns and are respectively at -70 cm and + 70 cm.
- these three coils of the first group are traversed by a current of 1A.
- the two coils 16 and 17 of the second group each have 15 turns and are placed respectively at -30 cm and + 30 cm.
- the power supply of this second group is provided with 1.57 A.
- FIG. 5 schematically shows a second embodiment of the invention.
- the antenna 42 is formed by only four coils, namely a first group consisting of coils 44 and 46 and a second group consisting of coils 48 and 50.
- the amplitudes 52 and 54 generated respectively by the first and the second group of coils are represented.
- the resulting total magnetic field is given by curve 56 which corresponds to the quadratic sum of curves 52 and 54.
- the coils of the second group are energized in quadrature phase relative to the coils of the first group.
- the two coils of the same group are supplied with a phase shift of 180 ° so as to generate mutual shielding.
- the resulting amplitude 56 within the volume defined by the antenna 42 is substantially constant but has a slight variation.
- this second embodiment allows the economy of a coil but must be satisfied with a certain variation of field within the volume of the antenna, that is to say the active zone ZA of communication with transponders.
- such a relatively small variation with respect to the amplitude of the magnetic field H can be considered substantially constant.
- the antenna 42 is arranged as follows: the coil 46 extends from -70 cm to -39 cm and the coil 48 extends from -22 cm to 9 cm.
- the spool 44 extends from -9 cm to 22 cm and the spool 50 extends from 39 cm to 70 cm. All the coils are formed of 15 turns and are powered by an electric current of 1 A. The amplitude curves given on the graph correspond to this numerical example.
