Definitions
- the invention relates to a high-frequency connection or a high-frequency distribution network according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Capacitive RF connections have become known, for example, from US Pat. No. 5,812,037. It is a stripline filter coupling structure that is constructed capacitively.
- a PCMCIA signal connector as is usually used in notebooks, has basically become known from US Pat. No. 5,936,841.
- the PCMCIA plug-in card usually has a connector strip on one end face which interacts with a connector strip integrated in the notebook when the corresponding PCMCIA card is inserted into a slot in the notebook.
- a first electrically conductive layer is then provided on one of the large side surfaces parallel to this side surface, which layer represents one half of the RF coupling device.
- the second electrically conductive layer parallel to this is accommodated with a lateral offset in the interior of the device.
- the geometry of the coupling surfaces determines the electrical parameters of the signal transmission, e.g. the adaptation to the wave resistance (VSWR), the insertion loss and the broadband of the frequency range.
- a preferred development of the invention further provides that, for example, the coupling surface on a circuit board used is provided with laterally protruding "flags" or so-called “extension surfaces”. These flags or extension surfaces parallel to the coupling between the coupling surfaces result in an additional slight coupling between the coupling surfaces on a circuit board and a mass surface.
- the network module according to the invention which can be coupled to a base module, also has capacitively coupled mass areas in addition to the coupling surfaces which effect a capacitive RF coupling.
- this metal structure covering the circuit board is formed on the side on which the corresponding electrical mass areas of the base module lie.
- an insulating film with a predefined thickness is preferably used for the insulation between the two electrical ground surfaces which effect the ground coupling.
- the coupling surfaces of the electrical ground surfaces effecting the signal transmission which are also sometimes referred to below as coupling fingers, are preferably formed on the opposite side of the circuit board of the network module, so that the substrate of the circuit board as insulation against the corresponding signal coupling surface on the base. Module works.
- the principle according to the invention can then be implemented in such a way that at least one signal path is led back from a base module via the capacitive coupling to a network module and from this network module via at least one further signal path to the antenna or, for example, the base module.
- a closed signal path can be implemented via the network card by inserting different network cards, the signal path being capacitive at the input and output of the network card.
- the high-frequency network can be implemented on the circuit board mentioned, for example using stripline technology (microstrip).

- the housing cover of the antenna device namely the so-called radon 3, can be seen in extracts.
- the antenna is held and positioned overall via an antenna mast 5.
- a slot opening is provided on the underside 7 of the housing cover 3, into which two base modules 9 can be inserted in parallel and independently of one another, each of which interacts with two interchangeable network modules 11.
- Specific network components and network circuits are provided on the network modules 11, so that a specific beam characteristic of the antenna is generated by using a correspondingly adapted network module 11.
- the network modules 11 thus explained are used to generate a specific beam characteristic on a so-called smart antenna, as described, for example, in US Pat. No. 6,463,303 B1 or in PCT publication WO 01/59 876 AI.
- one module can be used for transmission and reception in a first polarization direction and the second module for reception and transmission in a second polarization direction.
- the modules can also be used for transmission in different frequency band ranges. It is also possible, for example, to use two modules in such a way that one module is used for transmission and the other for reception.
- FIG. 2 The schematic structure of a interacting pair of modules is shown with reference to FIG. 2, namely with a base module 9 and a network module 11. Only with two signal lines 13 and two ground lines 15 is it shown that the respective network module 11 is complete is potential-free coupled to the relevant base module 9 via a corresponding RF connection 17.
- the respective ground potential GND1 is only on the base module 9 and the ground potential GND2 is only on the network module.
- Corresponding potential-free connections are provided between the base module 9 and the network module 11 via one or more signal paths 14 and 16.
- the base module 9 comprises an electrically shielded base plate or base 21, which is generally made entirely of metal.
- This electrically conductive base 21 is provided with recesses or windows 23, in which electrically conductive base signal coupling surfaces 25 are formed.
- These basic signal coupling surfaces 25 are each separated from the electrically conductive base 21 by a circumferential gap 26 or other insulation, which forms a basic ground coupling surface 27 adjacent to the basic signal coupling surface 25.
- a circumferential gap 26 or other insulation which forms a basic ground coupling surface 27 adjacent to the basic signal coupling surface 25.
- connection points 29 are shown on the base, to each of which a coaxial conductor 31 leads, the inner conductor 31a of each coaxial conductor 31 being soldered to the base signal coupling surface 25 and on an stripped outer circumferential area, the associated outer conductor 31b is electrically conductively connected to the base ground coupling surface 27 via a corresponding solder connection 31c.
- the corresponding network module 11 has a circuit board 35 with an associated substrate 35 ′, on which corresponding connection points 129 on the network module 11 are formed above the connection points 29 of the base.
- connection points 129 on the network module 11 comprise network signal coupling surfaces 125, which in the exemplary embodiment shown are also of rectangular design, that is to say comparable to the respective shape of the base signal coupling surfaces 25.
- the network signal coupling surface 125 is connected via a strip line 37 in each case to a network 39 which is only indicated schematically in FIG. 3 and which represents an RF module.
- This is preferably provided and formed on the upper side 35a of the circuit board 35, that is to say on the side of the circuit board 35 that is opposite to the interacting base.
- the network module 11 also includes a large-area mass coupling area, namely a network mass coupling area 127, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is not on the same side of the circuit board 35 on which the connection points 129 are also provided, but rather on the underside thereof is.
- the electrically conductive network ground surface 127 is at least approximately rectangular and extends with its circumferential boundary line 129 'to the immediate vicinity of the connection points 129.
- the circuit board 35 is moved and positioned on the base in accordance with the arrow representation 41, with the interposition of an electrically insulating intermediate layer, preferably in the form of an insulating film 43, the size and shape of which Network mass coupling area corresponds to 127 or is slightly larger.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic plan view of the mass coupling surfaces and the insulating film and the network mass coupling surface 127 in relation to the base mass coupling surface 27 located underneath. It can also be seen from this that the base mass coupling surface 27 can be dimensioned larger, for example in the longitudinal as well as in the transverse direction, than that in the network mass coupling surface 127. For fine tuning, it is also provided that the network coupling surfaces 127 project laterally Flags or extension sections 127 'can be provided, which results in a cross structure in the embodiment shown, but this is not absolutely necessary.
- flags or extension sections 125 bring about an additional slight coupling between the coupling surfaces 25, 125 parallel to the coupling Coupling surfaces 125 on the circuit board 35 and the base mass coupling surface 27.
- the reason for this is that these flags or extension sections 127 ′ are at a short distance from the base mass coupling surface 27 compared to the distance between the network signal coupling surface 125 and the base mass coupling surface 27.
- the desired unambiguous conditions are reproduced.
- This can be generated, for example, by a sliding mechanism, which makes it possible to bring the network module 11 with the circuit board 35 into the desired unambiguous relative position to the base module 9 and to hold and fix it in this position.
- a type of tilting mechanism can also be provided.
- a tilting bracket 45 which is schematically designed as a U-shaped recess, is used, in which the one limiting edge 35 ′′ of the board 35 can be inserted and then the board 35 can be pivoted toward the base 21 about the tilting axis thus formed, until the circuit board 35 rests on the base 21 with the above-mentioned insulating film 43 being positioned.
- the base 21 is formed in a cross-sectional illustration in the form of a U-shaped electrically conductive sheet formed at a low height, which is provided with flanges 21 ′ lying opposite one another on the side.
- one or more coaxial cables 31 are fed to the base module 9 from each side, the individual coaxial conductor sections or coaxial conductors 31, as already explained, being led to the base signal coupling surfaces 25.
- the outer conductor 31b of the respective coaxial conductor 31 is contacted on the side legs of the U-shaped base 21, for example by an electrical solder connection, with the electrically conductive base 21, the inner conductors 31a of the coaxial conductor 31 being guided through these side sections 21 "and via a electrical soldered connections are soldered to the respective base signal coupling surfaces 25.
- These basic signal coupling surfaces 25 are electrically insulated from the basic ground coupling surface 27 by a circumferential insulating gap 26.
- the base signal coupling surfaces 25 lie in a correspondingly larger window 23, so that the insulating gap 26 is formed between the base signal coupling surfaces 25 and the base ground coupling surfaces 27.
- a shielding wall 49 is ultimately provided on the underside of the base 21 in order to produce overall shielding.
- Another shielding wall 50 is placed from above onto the base module 9 thus formed as part of this base module 9 and can then be used by using Screws are screwed together at holes 51.
- the upper shielding wall 50 is also U-shaped in cross section with exposed flange sections 50 'and side legs 50 ", corresponding slot recesses 52 being machined into the vertical leg section 50' in the area of the supplied coaxial cables and coaxial conductors 31.
- the explained basic module 9 thus serves to accommodate a network module 11, which is shown in an exploded view in FIG. 6.
- the network module 11 also comprises, in addition to the circuit board 35 already explained and the network 39 located thereon, a housing 53, which is seated or connected to the outer circumference of the circuit board 35 with its wall sections 53 ′, to be precise with the creation of an interior 55 in which, as explained, the corresponding modules and lines for generating the network 39 are formed and provided on the circuit board 35.
- the network signal coupling surfaces 125 come to lie directly above the base signal coupling surfaces 25, the material of the printed circuit board, that is to say the substrate 35 ′, forming the insulation between the network signal coupling surface 125 and the base signal coupling surface 25.
- the base signal coupling surfaces 25 are connected in an electrically conductive manner to the inner conductor 31a of an associated coaxial conductor 31, which extends toward them, for example via a soldered connection.
- an electrically insulating support 59 shown in FIGS.
- a network module 11 formed in this way can thus be easily inserted, for example, at the end into the associated base module 9, with both the network module 11 at an asymmetrical location, for example at the location of the network module 11 (housing cover 50) Top, has an elevation 163, which interacts with a corresponding elevation or recess 63 on the inside of the housing cover of the base module 9 ( Figure 6).
