Definitions

  • the invention relates to a planar antenna having a surface-trained inner radiation element, which is surrounded by an outer radiation element, wherein the inner and the outer radiation element each having a feed point.
  • Such an antenna is in the EP 1 437 792 B1 disclosed as part of a cavity slot antenna for automobiles.
  • the inner radiation element has a hexagonal shape. It is surrounded by a square-shaped surface element, which serves as a ground conductor.
  • From the EP 1 513 224 A1 is another known planar antenna.
  • This has a radiating element with an approximately square basic shape, wherein, however, are milled off two opposite corners of the square basic shape. This has the consequence that the two orthogonal successive diagonals of the approximately square basic shape have different lengths.
  • terminal contact points for the radiating element and the grounding surface are present. These are placed opposite each other on two side edges of the radiating element and ground surface outside the diagonal.
  • the wideband as possible implementation of a coplanar antenna structure is required.
  • Read and write devices for UHF transponders in the frequency range from currently 865 MHz to 960 MHz may only operate in a certain frequency range, depending on the country's approval regulations, where the system is used. Objects that are to be identified with transponders are often used across borders. Therefore, transponders with a recognition range in a large frequency range of importance. Large detection ranges are only possible if the antenna system of a transponder can supply enough energy to the RFID semiconductor component.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a planar antenna of the type mentioned above, which allows broadband operation.
  • the object is achieved in that between the inner radiation element and the outer radiation element is a continuous or discontinuous change in the distance, which is similar with respect to an axis of symmetry of the inner radiation element, and wherein the distance of the outer to the inner radiation element in the region of the two feed points different in the area facing away from the feeding points.
  • the antenna By this embodiment of the antenna, a continuous transformation of the impedance at the feed point to the characteristic impedance of the free space is achieved.
  • the continuous transformation results in a nearly constant radiation behavior in the operating frequency range.
  • the outer radiation element can also be opened in the area facing away from the feed points.
  • the inner radiation element of the antenna according to the invention is in the form of an isosceles triangle.
  • a radiation element which is inhomogeneous in the sense of conduction theory is obtained.
  • the edges can also run exponentially.
  • FIG. 1 is in the middle of the base of the triangular inner radiation element 2, a first feed point 4 and this opposite on the formed as a loop outer radiation element 3, a second feed point 5 is provided.
  • FIG. 2 is the tip of the triangular inner radiation element with the feed point 4 directly opposite the feed point 5 of the outer radiation element 3.
  • the illustrated triangular, inner radiation element 2 is in the sense of line theory an inhomogeneous radiation element whose legs may not necessarily be continuous but also discontinuous as in FIG. 3 shown.
  • the here completely filled surface of the inner radiation element 2 can also be a recess 6 different shape as in the Figures 4,5,6 represented, for example, a slot, for example.
  • the complex impedance and radiation behavior of an antenna is constant within a frequency range.
  • changes in the complex impedance occur as a function of the frequency. The smaller these changes in the given frequency range, the more broadband this execution can be called.
  • This property can be achieved by self-similar or self-complementary geometric structures. Self-similar structures show similar or comparable properties when magnified as in the initial state.
  • the similarity of the inner radiation element 2 is meant with the recess, which results from the boundary with the outer closed or partially closed, rectangular loop. The loop must be closed or continuous in the region of the inner radiation element 2.
  • the extent of the largest dimension of the inner radiation element 2 is in the range of the quarter wavelength of the operating frequency.
  • the dashed shown connected to the feed points 4,5 transformation network 8 is optional, that is, with suitable semiconductor impedance, the connection without concentrated elements is possible.
  • the positioning of the two feed points 4,5 is crucial.
  • the practical embodiment requires the placement of the RFID chip 7 between the illustrated feed points 4, 5, since bonding wires establish the electrical connection between the RFID chip and the antenna 1.
  • the geometrically minimal distance is to be realized for the connection of the outer radiation element 3 to the RFID chip and from this to the planar inner radiation element 2.
  • the connections are to be made in the vicinity of the symmetry line.
  • the positioning of the RFID chip and its connections to the radiation elements 2, 3 at locations where the geometrically minimum distance also results is possible for the impedance matching.
  • the geometrically minimal distance of the connection to the radiation elements 2, 3 is likewise advantageous.
  • RFID semiconductors exhibit lossy capacitive impedance behavior between their connection ports.
  • the antenna 1 shows between those feed points 4,5 a complex impedance in the inductive range.
  • capacitive and inductive components cancel each other out in the best case. If the inductive component of the antenna 1 should not be sufficient for complete compensation, the addition of corresponding proportions by a concentrated component or a power element with a corresponding required inductive content is possible.
  • the outer radiation element 3, in this case the loop is continuous in the area of the feed points 4, 5, that is to say it is closed.
  • the inner 2 and outer radiation element 3 need not necessarily be on one level. However, this is advantageous for the practical implementation.
  • the antenna 1 according to the invention may be applied to a non-conductive support and opposed to a metal surface. With the inventively designed antenna 1 then results in a change in impedance between the feed points 4,5, but to a lesser extent, as in a dipole antenna with comparable dimensions.
