Definitions

  • the subject matter provides a multi-band antenna for use, for example, in a wireless communications network.
  • the multi-band antenna employs multi- resonant microstrip dipoles that resonate at multiple frequencies due to microstrip "islands." Gaps in the microstrips create an open RF circuit except for desired frequencies. At the desired frequency, RF energy sees a gap as a short circuit between an island and the rest of a dipole antenna, thus, resonating at the desired frequency.
  • the multi-band antenna includes first, second, third, and fourth dipole elements.
  • the first dipole element is on a first side of a dielectric and the second dipole element is on a second side of the dielectric and oriented with respect to the first dipole element so as to form a first dipole.
  • the third dipole element is also on the first side of the dielectric and is linearly displaced from the first dipole element in a direction parallel to the orientation of the first dipole wherein the displacement creates a gap between the first dipole element and the third dipole element.
  • the fourth dipole element is on the second side of the dielectric linearly and is displaced from the second dipole element in a direction parallel to the orientation of the first dipole and opposite of the direction of displacement of the third dipole element from the first dipole element wherein the displacement creates a gap between the second dipole element and the fourth dipole element.
  • the gaps between the first and third dipole elements and the second and fourth dipole elements are sufficiently small that the first, second, third, and fourth dipole elements form a second dipole having a corresponding dipole wavelength longer than that of the first dipole.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a multi-band antenna system in accordance with an aspect of an embodiment.
  • FIG. 2 depicts a side view of a multi-band antenna in accordance with an aspect of an embodiment.
  • FIGs. 3A and 3B depict the two sides of the multi-band antenna in accordance with an aspect of an embodiment.

  • FIG. 1 a block diagram of a multi-band antenna system 100 in accordance with an aspect of an embodiment is shown.
  • the multi-band antenna system 100 is comprised of a multi-band antenna 102 that can transmit and/or receive different wavelengths, ⁇ , from a shorter ⁇ frequency transceiver 104 and from a longer ⁇ frequency transceiver 106.
  • Dipole elements of the multi-band antenna 102 employ "gaps" in the dipole elements that tune the dipole elements to see more than one desired wavelength (i.e., frequency). Wavelengths, with sufficient length, "jump" the gap and resonate the dipole element at the longer wavelength. In this manner, the dipole element acts like a multi-band dipole element.
  • a single multi-band antenna 102 can replace multiple antennas that can only operate at a given frequency and/or can increase communication frequency bands when antenna installation space is limited. This provides a very cost effective and space effective alternative to multiple antenna installations.
  • FIG. 2 a side view of a multi-band antenna 200 in accordance with an aspect of an embodiment is depicted.
  • the multi-band antenna 200 can be employed as, for example, one of the plurality of towers 730 depicted in FIG. 7.

  • the dielectric material 260 can be any RF dielectric such as, for example, a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)/fiberglass composite.
  • Serial feedlines (also referred to as microstrips) 250 and 252 and dipole elements 201-204 and 211-214 are constructed from a metal such as, for example, copper and the like.

  • the impedance of the feedlines 250 and 252 should approximately match the impedance of a transmission line carrying RF signals from a transmitter and/or to a receiver. For a coaxial transmission line, this impedance is typically around 50 ohms.
  • Dipole element 201 and dipole element 202 on the opposite side of dielectric material 260 form a dipole for a given first wavelength of radiation/reception.
  • dipole element 203 and 204 also form a dipole for the same wavelength of radiation/reception since the dipole formed by dipole elements 203 and 204 has an approximately equivalent length to the dipole formed by dipole elements 201 and 202.
  • a gap 221-224 exists between dipole elements 201-204 and their corresponding dipole elements 211-214.
  • the gaps 221- 224 form an open circuit between dipole elements 201-204 and dipole elements 211- 214.
  • the gaps 221-224 are effectively short circuited so that a longer dipole equal in length, for example, to the combined lengths of dipole elements 201-202, dipole elements 211- 212, and gaps 221 and 223.
  • dipole elements 201-202 and 211-212 form a dipole for a second wavelength of radiation longer than that of the first wavelength dipole. Therefore, the multi-band antenna 200 functions on two bands (i.e., two different wavelengths).
  • the multi-band antenna 200 can also have a cylindrical radome (not shown) placed over the antenna structure for weather proofing.
  • the multi-band antenna 200 is presented as an example of a multi-band antenna and is not meant to imply any architectural limitations.
  • FIG. 3 A depicts side 1 on the multi-band antenna 200.
  • FIG. 3B depicts side 2 of the multi- band antenna 200. Both the views in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are from the same side, but represent a different cross-section of the multi-band antenna 200. In between the two cross-sections shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B is a layer of dielectric material 260.
  • the pattern of the microstrips (serial feedlines) 250 and 252, and the dipole elements 201-204 and 211-214, as described above, is etched and/or otherwise formed (for example, by utilizing a reversed mask process) in a dielectric material 260 and an electrically conductive material such as, for example, copper is deposited onto each side of the dielectric material 260 to form the multi-band antenna 200.
  • an electrically conductive material such as, for example, copper is deposited onto each side of the dielectric material 260 to form the multi-band antenna 200.

In this view, it is apparent that microstrip (serial feedlines) elements 250 and 252 as well as associated dipole elements connected to microstrip (serial feedlines) elements 250 and 252 are separated from each other by dielectric material 260.
  • FIG. 5 a diagram illustrating a multi-band antenna 504 encased in a radome 506 is depicted in accordance with an aspect of an embodiment.
  • the multi-band antenna 504 tranceives multiple frequency bands similar to, for example, multi-band antenna 200 in FIG. 2 and is encased within the radome 506 which has a parasitic element 502 attached to the outside. Without the parasitic element 502, the radiation pattern of the multi-band antenna 504 is elliptical as illustrated in a radiation pattern 604 shown in FIG. 6. However, with the addition of parasitic element 502, the radiation pattern produced by the multi-band antenna 504 becomes substantially circular and omni directional as depicted by radiation pattern 602 in FIG. 6.
  • FIGs. 2-4 are examples of multi-band antennas with dual bands. Dual-band antennas have been shown for simplicity of explanation. However, these antennas are presented and intended only as examples of a multi-band antenna and not as architectural limitations.

Additional multi-band dipole elements can be added to improve gain. [0019] In order to provide additional context for implementing various aspects of the embodiments, FIG.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une antenne à bandes multiples pour une utilisation, par exemple, dans un réseau de communication sans fil, qui emploie des dipôles à microbande à résonances multiples qui résonnent à des fréquences multiples à cause “ d'îlots ” de microbande. Des espaces dans les microbandes créent un circuit RF ouvert sauf pour les fréquences souhaitées. À une fréquence souhaitée, l'énergie RF perçoit un espace comme étant un court-circuit entre un îlot et le reste d'une antenne dipôle, résonnant ainsi à la fréquence souhaitée. Dans un exemple, l'antenne à bandes multiples comprend des premier, second, troisième et quatrième éléments dipolaires. Des espaces entre les premier et troisième éléments dipolaires et les second et quatrième éléments dipolaires sont suffisamment petits pour que les premier, second, troisième et quatrième éléments dipolaires forment un second dipôle ayant une longueur d'onde de dipôle correspondante plus longue que celle du premier dipôle.
