Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multiband omnidirectional device, in particular for installation in a vehicle body.
  • Modern motor vehicles are increasingly being equipped with broadcasting and communication services which require suitable antenna structures for transmitting and receiving radio signals.
  • the antenna structures should not protrude from the body of the vehicle, as they could disturb the design of the vehicle body. For this reason, it is desirable to install antenna structures in the body so that they do not protrude beyond the vehicle body. This is already true for receiving systems such as e.g. Radio or TV reception are known, some use multiple antennas to obtain a desired all-round reception.
  • amplifiers are used to minimize the losses due to the mismatch with conventional antenna cables or even compensate.
  • a monopole antenna having a flat conductor is known. This is divided into a first and a second, the first conductor area surrounded conductor area. Between these two conductor areas, a contact area is provided. On the side facing away from the flat conductor side, a ground region is provided.
  • a flat antenna is provided, in which, in accordance with the contour, a slot is made in such a way that an inner and an outer conductor area are formed. However, the slot between the two conductor regions is interrupted in such a way that an electrical connection exists.
  • a monopole antenna is known for multiple radio services.
  • the monopole element is connected to a substantially planar roofing capacity whose area is normal in the direction of the straight line.
  • a multiband omnidirectional antenna is provided with a ground plane and with an antenna element arranged parallel to the ground plane.
  • the antenna element has a first area radiator, which is formed flat and extends parallel to the ground plane and a second area radiator, which surrounds the first area radiator with a distance.
  • the antenna element comprises at least two connecting elements which connect the first and the second area radiators with one another.
  • a multi-band omnidirectional can be created, which has a low height and thus suitable for installation in a vehicle casing, without standing out from this.
  • the first and the second area radiators are coplanar with each other.
  • connection elements may be arranged substantially on opposite edges of the first area radiator in order to obtain a suitable current distribution in the surface radiators.
  • the first area radiator is preferably rectangular and the second area radiator has a rectangular border, wherein the second area radiator surrounds the edge of the first area radiator with a spacing, so that the second area radiator can be designed as a band revolving around the first area radiator.
  • a third area radiator may be provided, which surrounds the second area radiator with a further distance and in particular rectangular and coplanar with the first and the second area radiator is formed, wherein the connecting elements in each case connect the first, second and third surface radiators with each other.
  • At least one of the connecting elements may have an electronic component in order to be able to set the impedances of the multiband omnidirectional exactly.
  • the omnidirectional antenna has a ground connection structure for connecting the ground plane to the antenna element and a feed connection structure in order to supply the antenna element with a transmission signal.
  • the ground connection structure is preferably planar, in particular rectangular or trapezoidal, and contacts the first area radiator with an edge along a ground connection region on the first surface radiator.
  • the ground connection region runs essentially parallel to the edge of the first surface radiator, to which one of the connecting elements adjoins.
  • the feed connection structure can be designed to be flat, circular-segment-shaped, semicircular, elliptical-segment-shaped or semi-elliptical.
