Description
- The present invention is about a vehicle antenna suitable in particular to be installed on a windscreen or on other dielectric surfaces of the vehicle.
- The invention also concerns a windscreen including said antenna.
- It is known that there is the need to equip the vehicles with antennas able to receive radio waves related to different applications like, for instance, FM radio, AM radio, digital radio (DAB) and television signals.
- Several embodiments of vehicle antennas are known and, in particular, a type of antennas is known, consisting of essentially plane conductive structures disposed on a dielectric like, for instance, the front windscreen.
- Such antenna structures comprise elements of adequate length to the radio wave frequency to be received and electrically connected to one or more electronic devices which process and demodulate the received signal.
- Such antennas have some acknowledged inconveniences.
- In particular, a first inconvenience is due to the arrangement of the receiving elements, on the dielectric material surface, which affects their capability to receive radio waves with horizontal and/or vertical polarization, obtaining, in some situations, a bad reception.
- The cause of such inconvenience is explained hereinafter.
- It is known that the stations transmitting radio waves can send signals either with horizontal or vertical polarization.
- It is also known that the structure of a car, as well as buildings or all those elements that can act as a shield or an obstacle for radio signals around the car, can modify the polarization of the radio wave transmitted by the transmitting station.
- The flat antennas belonging to the prior art are composed by substantially longitudinally developed receiving elements that can be horizontally, vertically or obliquely disposed on the dielectric surface which supports them.
- It is evident that, if the receiving element is vertically or horizontally disposed, there is always the possibility to receive radio waves with orthogonal polarization with respect to that most suitable for the antenna.
- In this situation, the reception of radiofrequency signals related to radio waves having a polarization in accordance with the arrangement of the receiving element/s is optimal, while the reception of radiofrequency signals having an orthogonal polarization with respect to the arrangement of the receiving element represents the worst case.
- This aspect causes the aforementioned inconvenience in the antennas belonging to the prior art i.e., in other words, it introduces a risk factor in the radio signal reception since, for any provided antenna arrangement, it is much probable that said arrangement is not suitable for the polarization of the waves to be received.
- A further inconvenience of known flat antenna embodiments is due to the fact that they are not omni directional, i.e. they are not able to correctly receive the radio wave for all the source directions.
- This inability is related both to the geometrical extent of the receiving element and to its arrangement on the surface associated therewith.
- Indeed, the very close presence of metallic parts can cause shield effects for some receiving angles of the radio wave, i.e. the angles according which said shielding parts are disposed aligned with respect to the receiving elements. This effect defines "shadow areas" that can cause transmitted signal losses, and thus information losses, during the vehicle movement.
- Some antenna embodiments are know, for example those disclosed in the Patents
US 5,898,407 andUS 3,971,029 , in which at least a parasitic element has been added, parallelly disposed with respect to the receiving elements in order to amplify their reception using the parasitic element as a repeater. However, said embodiments still present the inconvenience of being not omni directional since they mainly receive the electromagnetic waves having a parallel polarization with respect to the direction defined by the receiving and parasitic elements. - The present invention intends to overcome all the aforementioned inconveniences.
- In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide for an antenna with essentially flat elements which is able to be disposed on a surface of a dielectric belonging to a vehicle and which maximizes the receptivity of its receiving elements, whatever it might be the polarization of the radio waves of the transmitting radio station.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide for an antenna with essentially flat elements which has a substantially omni directional radiation diagram.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide for a windscreen which includes an antenna able to maximize the receptivity of its elements, whatever it might be the polarization of the radio signals of the transmitting radio station, and having a substantially omni directional radiation diagram.
- The above mentioned objects are attained by a vehicle antenna which, according to the content of
claim 1. - The above mentioned objects are also attained by a vehicle windscreen according to
claim 6. - Advantageously, since the receiving and parasitic elements are made of conductive material, they each provides for receiving elements particularly suited to receive electromagnetic waves with a polarization having the same direction defined by the elements themselves.
- Still advantageously, since the parasitic element is disposed along a direction incident to the receiving elements, it is particularly suited to receive also electromagnetic waves with a polarization different from the polarizations mainly received by the receiving elements.
- In this case, the parasitic element amplifies the receptivity of the electromagnetic waves received by the receiving elements and moreover it permits to obtain an antenna which is able to correctly receive also electromagnetic waves having a polarization different from the polarization that the receiving elements are particularly suited to receive.
- In particular, with the parasitic element orthogonally disposed with respect to the receiving elements, the antenna of the invention is particularly suited to receive electromagnetic waves having mutual orthogonal polarizations, making the reception diagram of the antenna omni directional.
- The above mentioned objects will be better highlighted in the description of preferred executive embodiments of the invention, given in an explanatory but not limiting way, and shown in the figures of the annexed drawings, wherein:
-
Figure 1 is an axonometric view of the antenna according to the invention; -
Figures 2 to 4 show some executive embodiments of the antenna according to the invention; -
Figure 5 is an axonometric view of the windscreen according to the invention; -
Figures 6 to 8 show some executive embodiments of the windscreen according to the invention; and -
Figure 9 shows a utilization example of the windscreen according to the invention. - The vehicle antenna of the invention is shown in
Figure 1 , where it is generally indicated withnumeral 1 and where one can see that it is disposed on a surface made ofdielectric material 2 and it comprises a mainly longitudinally developedparasitic element 3 and two mainly longitudinally developed too receivingelements 4, 5, disposed on both sides of theparasitic element 3. - The
parasitic element 3 is connected to theground 6 through a galvanic connection. - According to an executive embodiment, the parasitic element is connected to the ground through a capacitive coupling.
- Concerning the
receiving elements 4, 5, they provide for a receiving structure connected to an electronic device, which manages the information content of the received radio signal through the interposition of an amplifier. - In different executive embodiments, not shown herein, the connection between the receiving elements of the antenna and the electronic device is a direct connection.
- It should be pointed out that the preferred executive embodiment described hereby corresponds to an antenna whose utilization provides for the two receiving elements working in a complementary way.
- There are further embodiments, such as the phase diversity, according which both elements receive the same signal, therefore it should be more correct, from a lexical point of view, to mention them as an antenna array and not as an antenna.
- However, for simplifying purposes, it has been chosen to make reference to the invention as an antenna hereinafter, although it is an antenna array in some embodiments.
- In the preferred executive embodiment, the
receiving elements 4, 5 and theparasitic element 3 consist of a wire made of conductive material inserted in the dielectric. - In different executive embodiments, the receiving elements and the parasitic element consist of a strip made of conductive material laid on the dielectric.
- Furthermore, as one can see in
Figure 1 , thereceiving elements 4, 5 and theparasitic element 3 define substantially mutually orthogonal directions. - Advantageously, currents induced by radio waves with components orthogonal to the radio wave components, which induce currents in the
parasitic element 3, are thus formed in thereceiving elements 4, 5. - However, it must be noted that there is no overlap among the elements.
- Concerning the radiofrequency operation of the
receiving elements 4, 5 and theparasitic element 3, one can see that their length and the dielectric on which they are disposed define an equivalent resulting length which, in the preferred executive embodiment, is equal to a quarter of the wavelength of the radio signal that theantenna 1 is able to receive. - Concerning the
dielectric material 2 on which theantenna 1 is supported, it is glass in the preferred executive embodiment. - In different executive embodiments, the dielectric material can be a plastic material or a plastic material reinforced by fiber glass.
- According to another executive embodiment, shown in
Figure 2 , theantenna 100 is provided with asingle receiving element 104. - As one can see, the
parasitic element 103 coupled with theelement 104 is still disposed in a substantially centred position with respect to thedielectric material surface 102 on which these elements are disposed. - In a further executive embodiment, shown in
Figure 3 , theantenna 200 according to the invention is still composed by a singleparasitic element 203, disposed in a substantially centred position with respect to thedielectric material surface 202, while thereceiving elements 204 are three in number. - In still another executive embodiment, shown in
Figure 4 , theantenna 300 is composed by four receiving elements, generally indicated withnumeral 307, laterally disposed with respect to theparasitic element 303. - For instance, these embodiments could provide for a different number of receiving elements.
- As mentioned hereinbefore, the invention also relates to a windscreen that, in its preferred executive embodiment, is shown in
Figure 5 , where it is generally indicated withnumeral 400 and where one can see that it comprises a generally made ofglass surface 402 on which aparasitic element 403 and two receivingelements parasitic element 403. - As one can see in
Figure 5 , theparasitic element 403 is substantially disposed in the center of thewindscreen 400 surface. - Advantageously, since the
windscreen 400 is inserted in the structure of a car, and being said structure made of metallic material and thus forming a shield for radio waves coming from their direction, theparasitic element 403 is in the best position for being affected as little as possible from said shield. - As one can see, the
receiving elements parasitic element 403 define mutually orthogonal directions. - The
parasitic element 403 is galvanically connected to thevehicle mass 406. - In a different executive embodiment of the windscreen according to the invention, not shown in the drawings, the parasitic element and the receiving elements define each a substantially incident direction with respect to the others.
- In further executive embodiments, the parasitic element is connected to the ground through a capacitive coupling.
- In
Figures 7 to 9 some executive embodiments of the windscreen according to the invention are shown, which are different from that described hereinbefore by the presence of a different number of receiving elements. - A more detailed description of these elements is omitted because is fully equivalent to that related to the embodiments of the antenna according to the invention shown in
Figures 2 to 4 . - Operatively, the manufacture of the support surface, i.e. the

parasitic element 403. - As one can see in the
Figure 9 , when the radio waves hit theantenna 401 of thewindscreen 400 they induce thecurrents elements parasitic element 403. - The
currents parasitic element 403 with respect to the receivingelements - In any case, on the
parasitic element 403currents 422 are developed, generated in particular by radio wave components coherent with its arrangement and not able to be developed instead in an optimal way on the receivingelements - The
currents 422 flowing on theparasitic element 403 generate anelectric field 425 which induces in its turn additional currents on the receivingelements - Therefore, these additional currents obtain the effect to increase the induced current value on the receiving
elements - On the basis of the aforesaid description, the antenna and the windscreen of the invention achieve the intended objects.
