Definitions

  • the invention relates to an antenna coupler for testing a mobile device.
  • antenna couplers use a capacitive or inductive coupling in order to transmit signals between the mobile device and the test device connected to the antenna coupler in order to carry out the test.
  • One problem is that different mobile devices work in different frequency ranges.
  • the spiral-shaped antenna structure can be formed, for example, on a printed circuit board by strip conductors formed there.
  • the problem with the proposed spiral antenna for An antenna coupler is that in conventional antennas in the near field, a strong interaction between the radiating element, so the spiral antenna, and the metallic, radiating antenna part by the mobile device occurs.
  • the antenna coupler according to the invention for testing a mobile radio device has a coupling element formed by means of strip conductors on a printed circuit board.
  • a receiving device for positioning a mobile device in the immediate vicinity of the coupling element is formed on a first side of a printed circuit board.
  • On the first side of the printed circuit board at least one slot structure is introduced into a mass metallization formed there.
  • a strip conductor formed on the second side of the printed circuit board facing away from the mass metallization is used. This strip conductor forms a microstrip line with the remaining parts of the mass metallization formed on the first side.
  • a broadband acting, formed on a printed circuit board antenna structure whose areal coupling element as a slot structure is formed it is achieved that only one antenna must be provided to cover the usual mobile radio frequencies.
  • the influence that is present in conventional antennas, which allow such a broadband application, due to the metallic objects, for example within the mobile device, is thereby suppressed by the use of a slot structure.
  • the use of such a slot structure is particularly advantageous because the usual approximations in the observation of antennas due to the interaction in the near field range does not apply.
  • the slot structure is formed spirally or as parallel slot elements. With such a spiral slot structure, an excellent coupling result can be achieved within the usually quite limited geometric dimension which the antenna coupler is allowed to have.
  • the slit-like and helically wound coupling structure achieves an excellent coupling factor without impairing the performance of the entire antenna coupler through the interaction with the metallic objects already explained.
  • each slit arm of helical structure remote from the feed point is preferably terminated by a plurality of successively arranged resistors. These are arranged, preferably in SMD technology, so that they span the slot of the slot structure. This makes it possible to achieve an impedance-compliant termination of the respective slot structures, the space required being very small.
  • a so-called logarithmic periodic slot antenna can also be designed as a coupling element.
  • a plurality of parallel straight slot elements is formed on the first side of the printed circuit board by interrupting the ground metalizations formed there, the length of which increases with increasing distance from a feed point.
  • the individual slot elements are connected at one end to each other, wherein the thus formed common slot part is perpendicular to the extension direction of the slot elements.
  • the slot width of the slot arms in the case of a spiral slot structure or the slot width of the slot elements and a common slot portion in the case of a logarithmic-periodic Slot structure increases according to a preferred embodiment with increasing distance from the feed point. According to another embodiment, in the case of spiral slot structures, it is particularly advantageous to provide a uniform slot width over the entire frequency range in which the antenna structure is used as the coupling element.
  • the coupling properties can be further improved if the slot structures are formed meander-shaped.
  • the meandering geometry can be z. B. have a rectangular structure, a triangular structure or a sinusoidal shape. While the overall geometry is spiral-shaped or logarithmic periodic, the individual slit arms or slit elements of this basic shape follow meandering.
  • a reflector is formed on the second side of the circuit board.
  • the reflector is formed by a housing part of the antenna coupler.
  • the housing is preferably designed as a box-shaped closed housing, wherein a cover element is designed to be hinged.
  • the lower part serves to receive the printed circuit board of the antenna coupler, wherein the bottom of the lower part is then formed as a reflector.
  • the gap between the reflector and the slot structure as a coupling element can be filled with a dielectric material to achieve particularly good measured values.
  • This Dielectric material may be particularly preferably formed so that it serves to fix the circuit board together with the structures formed there.
  • an absorber material on the reflector whose thickness is at most one third of the distance between the reflector and the printed circuit board.
  • a thickness of the absorber material is of 5 mm provided at a distance between the reflector and the circuit board of 16 mm.
  • the absorber material is in particular a carbon-filled absorber foam. This arrangement has the advantage that a small ripple occurs due to the damped reflections.
  • the Fig. 1 shows a housing 1 of an antenna coupler.
  • the housing 1 has a lower part 2a and a cover part 2b.
  • the lower part 2a and the lid part 2b are hinged together.
  • the lower part 2a is open on one side and surrounds a first volume 4.
  • this first volume 4 in which in the Fig. 1 Only a flat plate is used, at least the circuit board is used, on which the coupling structures are formed.
  • a second volume is formed in the lid part 2b.
  • This second volume 5 is empty in the illustrated embodiment of the housing 1.
  • the second volume 5 is filled with an absorber material.
  • pyramidal structures may be embodied in an absorbent material with the entire absorber element secured to the lid portion 2b.
  • a shutter mechanism 3 is formed on the lid part 2b. In the illustrated embodiment, this is rotatable and engages in a locking lug on the lower part 2a.
  • the antenna coupler 10 comprises a printed circuit board 8. On a first side of the printed circuit board 8, which when installed in the Housing 1 is oriented in the direction of the lid part 2b, a mass metallization 7 is applied. In the mass metallization 7 a slot structure is introduced. In the illustrated embodiment, the slot structure is formed spirally and has a first slot arm 11 and a second slot arm 11 'on. The two slit arms 11, 11 'merge into each other at a feed point 9. As the distance from the feeding point 9 increases, the width of the slot of the slot arm 11 and the slot arm 11 'increases.
  • the formation of the slot structure in the mass metallization 7 can be carried out in a conventional manner, for example by etching.
  • a reflector 6 is arranged on the side facing away from the mass metallization 7 second side of the circuit board 8. Due to the reflector 6, a metallic element, the electromagnetic fields on the side of the printed circuit board 8 facing the mobile device to be tested overlap positively.

  • the active zone is essentially a circular ring whose center coincides with the feed point 9.
  • the average diameter of the annulus is reduced.
  • a frusto-conical geometry of the reflector 6 is in the Fig. 2b shown in a three-dimensional view.
  • the reflector 6 consists of the circular segment 3 and the conical surface 14. The distance of the circular segment 13 from the feed point 9 is determined by the upper limit frequency.
  • the slot structures also have line properties and thus electromagnetic waves are guided through the slots, there is a coupling mechanism on near and stray fields. It can therefore also occur a coupling below a theoretical lower limit frequency of the structure.
  • FIG. 3a shows a so-called logarithmic-periodic structure.
  • Slot elements 21.1,... 21.14 are arranged parallel to each other.
  • the distance d i between the centers of two adjacent slit elements 21.i thus increases with increasing distance from the feed point 19.
  • the slit width b i increases as well. Both, the distance d i and the slot width b i , thereby increases with the logarithm of the distance from the feed point 19.
  • the slot elements 21.i are connected to one another via a common slot part 23.
  • the slot elements 21.i extend alternately in each case opposite direction.
  • the common slot part 23 and the extension direction of the individual slot elements 21.i are perpendicular to each other, wherein the common slot part 23 extends through the feed point 19.
  • the alternating arrangement of the slot elements 21.i is chosen so that overall results in a respect to the feed point 19 point-symmetrical geometry.
  • the reference numerals are given only for a part of the slot elements 21.i.
  • a slot member 21.i The respectively remote from the common slot portion 23 end of a slot member 21.i is formed so that the ends of the slot elements 21.i, which extend to one side of the common slot portion 23, lie on a common, extending through the feed point 19 lines. This applies to the slit element 21 .i extending to the other side of the common slit part 23 in the same way.
