- injecting a current to said first current injection means and simultaneously or sequentially injecting current to said second current injection means, whereby the antenna operates at a first operating frequency-band f1 and/or at a second operating frequency-band f2.
The invention also relates to an IC compatible multi-layer planar antenna with multiple feeding points.
Description
- The invention relates to high frequency electromagnetic circuits (transmission lines, filters, antennas), and more particularly to multi-layer planar antennas.
- The general application fields of the invention are radio communications, particularly wireless/mobile digital communications, the mentioned multi-layer antennas being ultra-thin or IC compatible, that is, having a thickness of about 1 mm.
- Antennas for portable devices need to be small, power efficient and compatible with the portable structure. More recently a big interest exists in finding antenna designs compatible with IC integrated technologies. At the habitual wireless application operating frequencies (from some hundreds of MHz to some GHz) wavelength (λ) dimensions are in the order of tens of centimetres. When compact solutions are intended, designs tend to reduce as much as possible transversal (width, W) and thickness (height, H) dimensions. In order to obtain enough efficiency and minimum bandwidth, current designs use widths (W) above one fifth of the wavelength (λ/5) and thickness above one fiftieth of the wavelength (λ/50). At the mentioned wireless frequencies that implies transversal dimensions in the order of several centimetres and thickness in the order of several millimetres. On the other hand, IC integrated technologies are able to deal with transversal dimensions (W) below the centimetre, and thickness below the millimetre. In consequence current solutions tend to combine the antenna and the associated electronics into a back to back architecture, which normally prevents the antenna to be fully integrated into the IC package. For example, at the current 1.8/1.9 GHz bands, transversal dimensions of 2 cm and thickness of 4 mm for single layer antennas are needed. When multilayer solutions are used for frequency bandwidth increase or multifrequency operation, several times the current thickness are additionally needed, which is totally incompatible with the IC dimensions.
- The solution proposed in the present invention provides a new IC compatible technique to connect printed circuit based multilayer antennas to multi-feed systems in such a way that small, efficient integrated antenna systems may be designed for applications as multi-antenna systems (MAE) or Multiple Input Multiple Output systems (MIMO).
- As a general rule, printed circuits are formed by two parallel plates: a lower plate, usually working as the ground plane, and an upper plate, in which the different radiofrequency passive elements (filters, transmission lines, printed antennas, etc.) and active electronic devices are configured.
- In conventional patch antennas, the feeding point is applied in the top plane of the antenna. The injected current generates a field distribution inside the antenna, which in the case of an efficient and well matched antenna radiates to the surrounding air. The radiated energy is maximum at the operating frequency-band of the antenna which depends on the antenna dimensions and the position of the feeding point.
- A thin stacked shorted patch antenna for the 1800 MHz frequency band is presented in "Thin dual-resonant stacked shorted patch antenna for mobile communications" Ollikainen J et al., Electronic Letters, 18 March 1999, Vol. 35, No. 6. Said antenna is dual-resonant and small in size, having a very low profile and a bandwidth of almost 10%. It thus discloses a stacked configuration for a patch antenna, each of the patches (lower and upper) working at a different resonant frequency.
- The present invention is related to a new technique of feeding energy into an IC compatible multi-layer planar antenna and to the IC compatible multi-layer planar antenna resulting thereof.
- The invention refers to a multiple feeding method for an IC compatible multi-layer planar antenna according to
claim 1 and to an IC compatible multi-layer planar antenna according to claim 6. Preferred embodiments of the method and antenna are defined in the dependent claims. - In a multi-layer antenna there are a number N of layers, N ≥2. In such a multi-layer antenna it is possible to apply the feeding point to different planes of the patch (i=1,2..N). In each case there is a change in the resonant frequency of the antenna.
- The present invention is related to the multi-layer transformation technique applied in planar antennas such as patch antennas, where the antenna is formed by superposing different parallel planes one on top another. They are used as impedance transformers, so the feeding point can be impedance adapted to the free air impedance. Using the multi-layer configuration applied in previous antennas as impedance transformation technique, one or more feeding points can be applied in one or different layers to obtain multi-resonant characteristics.
- That is, by changing the layer feeding position, it is possible to change the resonant frequency of the antenna. In this way, it is possible to have a multi-resonant antenna, by means of selecting the feeding connection plane.
- A first aspect of the invention relates to a feeding method for an IC compatible multi-layer planar antenna, said antenna comprising a ground plane and Li substantially parallel plates, i=1, 2, ... N, being N≥2, the method comprising:
- providing at least first current injection means in a first plate L1, for injecting a current in a first layer and providing second current injection means in a second plate L2, for injecting a current in a second layer, the method further comprising
- injecting a current in said first current injection means and simultaneously or sequentially injecting a current in said second current injection means, whereby the antenna operates at a first operating frequency-band f1 and/or at a second operating frequency-band f2.
- Said first operating frequency-band f1 and said second operating frequency-band f2 may have different values.
- With respect to the stated background, this invention permits a specific multi-layer planar antenna to operate in different frequency-bands; so that said antenna can be applied to different frequency working bands: a multi-band antenna is obtained. That is, the same antenna can be used to fit the requirements of multi-standard applications.
- Preferably, further injection means are provided in the first plate and current is simultaneously injected both to said first current injection means and to said further current injection means.
- If current is simultaneously injected both to said first current injection means and to the second current injection means, the first injection means can be arranged perpendicularly to the second current injection means. Also, if current is simultaneously injected both to said first current injection means and to the further current injection means in the same first layer, the first injection means can be arranged perpendicularly to the further current injection means. Thus, the present invention also permits achieving a polarisation control of the radiated power from the antenna.
- The method may further comprise providing i-th current injection means in a i-th plate Li, for injecting a current to a i-th layer.
- Said first and second current injection means may comprise a microstrip feed, a coaxial cable, a coplanar line or any other transmission line geometry.
- A second aspect of the present invention relates to an IC compatible multi-layer planar antenna, comprising a ground plane and Li substantially parallel plates, i=1, 2, ... N-1, being N≥2, the antenna comprising:
- first current injection means in a first plate L1, for injecting a current to a first layer,
- According to this second aspect of the invention, the antenna further comprises:
- at least second current injection means in a second plate L2, for injecting a current to a second layer,
- Said first resonant frequency f1 and said second resonant frequency f2 may have different value.
- The antenna may include further injections means in the first plate for injecting further current to said first layer.
- Current may be simultaneously injected in different layers both to said first current injection means and to second current injection means; or it may be simultaneously injected in a single layer to said first current injection means and said further injection means. In such cases, the first injection means can be arranged perpendicularly to the second current injection means or to the further injection means; this way, polarisation of the antenna is achieved.
- Said first and second current injection means may comprise a microstrip feed, a coaxial cable, a coplanar line or any other transmission line geometry.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the different layers in the multi-layer antenna have substantially the same overall dimensions.
- The resulting architecture is suitable for monolithic integration. In fact, the overall planar dimensions of the multi-layer antenna are in the order of a tenth of the wavelength λ/10 ; and the thickness of the multi-layer planar antenna is in the order of a hundredth of the wavelength λ/100 or below. It is important to underline this latter fact: the solution proposed here provides an antenna geometry which is fully compatible with the multilayer IC technology, meaning that the antenna is designed using the multilayer IC frame itself in such a way that small, efficient integrated antennas may be designed. For doing so transversal and thickness dimensions are simultaneously reduced due to the particular matching effect between the highly unequal input port impedance and the antenna radiation impedance produced by the compacted multilayer structure where the thickness of the layers is in the order of tenths of millimetres (1/10's mm) very differently from the tens of millimetres (10's mm) used on the conventional multilayer antenna geometries. This is due to the fact that the tuning method of the present invention is preferably applicable to antennas as defined in
EP application No. 05078048.5 - A series of drawings aiding to better understand the invention and which are expressly related to a preferred embodiment of said invention, representing a nonlimiting example thereof, is very briefly described below.

And infigure 2B the microstrip feed 21' is carried out in the second layer above theground plate 11, whereby the antenna operates at a second operating frequency-band f2. - Though not specifically shown in the drawings, current feeding in any of the plates/layers of the antenna can be carried out by means of differential feeding.

Figure 3 shows a multi-layer planar antenna 10' where current is simultaneously injected to a first plate/layer and to a second plate/layer by means of respective planar (differential CPW) feeds 21, 21'. As shown infigure 3 , said planar feeds 21, 21' of the first and second plates/layers have been arranged perpendicularly, such that the current injected to the first plate/layer is perpendicular to the current injected to the second plate/layer, thereby achieving the polarisation of the antenna.
