Definitions

  • the invention relates to an antenna having at least two radiator sections for transmitting and / or receiving high-frequency signals, wherein the antenna further comprises a ground connection, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • rod-shaped antennas known as so-called quarter-wave bars, which have at least two radiator sections for transmitting and / or receiving high-frequency signals, wherein furthermore a ground connection is present.
  • CB Citizen Band
  • a special application is known in the United States with rod-shaped antennas on trucks, in which such rod-shaped antennas are arranged and fixed on the roof of the cab. This arrangement is very difficult to access, so that a required tuning operation of the antenna, for which a fixed and a variable radiator section are present, can be performed only very complicated and laborious.
  • such antennas disrupt the overall appearance and aerodynamics of a vehicle, especially the truck, while still being limited in their performance.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to avoid the disadvantages described above, in particular to increase the performance of the antenna while improving the possibility of arrangement on a vehicle, without the manufacturing and assembly costs increases unnecessarily.
  • a first radiator section arranged on a flat carrier is formed flat and a further radiator section likewise on the planar carrier is meander-shaped, wherein the at least two radiator sections are electrically connected to one another via a coil likewise arranged on the carrier.
  • the overall planar design of the antenna has the advantage that it can be integrated in a desired installation location in or on the vehicle, so that the appearance of the vehicle is no longer disturbed by the presence of the planar antenna according to the invention.
  • the height or Length of the planar antenna compared to a comparable rod-shaped antenna significantly reduced, so that only a reduced space height for the planar antenna is required.
  • Due to the planar design of the antenna the broadbandity of the antenna according to the invention compared to rod-shaped tunable antennas is significantly increased. Thus, a vote of the antenna for the operating case is not necessary.
  • the design of the first radiator section as a planar radiator section on the likewise flat carrier has the advantage that the performance of the antenna according to the invention is significantly increased, so that in particular during operation of the antenna in conjunction with powerful boosters ("booster") damage, especially by heat The antenna is effectively avoided. This is accompanied by significant increases in performance of the antenna, so that improved reception or greater ranges are possible.
  • the meander-shaped configuration of the second adjoining radiator section also has the advantage that it significantly increases the overall height or the length of the antenna while at the same time increasing performance and eliminating tuning because of its broadband.
  • one of the two radiator sections are formed by an electrically conductive material printed on the carrier.
  • the printing of the electrically conductive material on the support has the advantage that the desired structures (flat or meandering) can be realized in a simple manner in a corresponding printing process, such as a screen printing process. In addition, such a printing process can be very fast and Run rationally, so that the production cost is significantly reduced.
  • electrically conductive materials such as pastes, preferably silver polymer pastes
  • other application methods such as spraying
  • the material of the carrier and the applied there electrically conductive material are coordinated so that the applied electrically conductive material sufficiently and permanently enters into a connection with the carrier, so that a detachment during the life of the antenna is avoided.
  • the coil which electrically connects the two radiator sections to one another is also formed by the electrically conductive material printed on the carrier.
  • FIG. 1 shows, as far as shown in detail, the embodiment of a planar antenna 1 according to the invention, which has a flat carrier 2.
  • the flat carrier 2 may be a rigid or flexible material, preferably it is a rigid or bendable plastic film. Also conceivable are other materials for the carrier 2, such as an epoxy resin plate or the like.
  • the ground terminal is formed as a development of the invention as a ground surface 3, which is formed by an electrically conductive and printed on the support 2 material.
  • the radiator section 4 at its one end on the input side in a spiral surface arranged on the carrier 2 coil 6 via.
  • the coil 6 can be electrically connected at its other end to the other radiator section 5, is provided in a further development of the invention that the radiator section 4 is connected via an electrical connection 7 on the input side with the spiral surface arranged on the carrier 2 coil 6.
  • This electrical connection 7 between the one input of the coil 6 and the radiator section 4 can be realized, for example, by a piece of electrical conductor having a cable sheath and exposed at its two ends, wherein the one end of the electrical conductor with the radiator section 4 and is electrically contacted with its other end to the input of the coil 6.
  • This contacting can be done for example by a soldering process, a bonding process with an electrically conductive adhesive or the like.
  • the electrical connection 7 with the interposition of an insulating layer of the inner the coil 6 extends to the first radiator section 4 and is formed by an electrically conductive and printed on the insulating layer and the carrier 2 material.
  • This insulating layer can also be applied in an advantageous manner on the support 2 and the already applied areas of the coil 6, wherein only then applied the electrically conductive material for the realization of the electrical connection 7, preferably printed again, is.
  • the electrical connection 7 extends from a tapered end of the radiator section 4 to the inner entrance of the coil 6, while the outer end of the coil 6 passes directly into the meandering radiator section 5. It should be mentioned that as a functionally same alternative can also be thought that the outer input of the coil 6 is connected to the radiator section 4, also in particular with its tapered end, whereas the inner end of the coil 6 via the electrical connection 7 is connected to the one end (input) of the meandering radiator section 5.
  • the planar radiator section 4 may have one or more recesses 8, whatever the design, without thereby altering or restricting the performance or wideband nature of the antenna 1 becomes.
  • the in the FIG. 1 shown shape and number of recesses 8 is only an example and can be varied.
  • the radiator section 4 is formed completely material-filling surface (without recesses).
  • the inner conductor of the high-frequency cable is thereby contacted with the radiator section 4 and the ground conductor of the high-frequency cable (for example, a shielding braid) with the ground surface 3.
  • This can be done for example by soldering, crimping, gluing with an electrically conductive adhesive, laser or ultrasonic welding or the like.
  • this region can be provided with a cover.
  • This cover may for example be a housing part, which consists of a plastic material and is formed over the connection region 9 in the direction of the radiator portion 4 and the ground surface 3 reaching.
  • the high-frequency cable for the purpose of strain relief can also be additionally determined by further measures, in particular a second extrusion coating, on the carrier 2 of the antenna 1.
  • elongated rectangular shape of the antenna 1 is particularly advantageous if this two-dimensional antenna 1 is integrated in an exterior mirror of a truck.
  • This means that the geometric extension of the antenna 1 is selected so that it is adapted to the installation or installation space.
  • the installation of such a surface-shaped antenna 1 according to the invention in an exterior mirror is therefore of particular advantage, because it is no longer visible from the outside after their installation and wiring and therefore does not bother the overall appearance of the vehicle.
  • the geometric shapes of the ground plane 3, of the planar radiator section 4 and of the meandering radiator section 5 as well as the width and height of the carrier 2 are readily the frequency ranges in which the antenna 1 is to transmit or receive, and / or the installation can be adjusted without restricting the simple design, the broadband and the performance of the antenna 1. So is in the in FIG. 1 In the embodiment shown, the first radiator section 4 is L-shaped, because this has the advantage that the coil 6 can be arranged in its recess in order to promote the compactness. However, this does not mean that other geometric configurations of the radiator section 4, such as round, square, rectangular, arcuate or other extensions, are excluded.
  • the coil 6 with respect to the wide legs of the U-shaped radiator section 4 significantly thinner spiral turns.
  • planar antenna as an antenna for transmitting and receiving high-frequency signals in the frequency range of the CB radio.
  • the planar antenna according to the invention in the said frequency range around 27 MHz, the advantages that the overall height is significantly reduced that due to the flat design a better Heat radiation is given (resulting in a simultaneous increase in the performance of the antenna), that improved aerodynamics of the vehicle is given (in particular, if advantageously the planar antenna in an exterior mirror of a vehicle, in particular a truck, is integrated) and that the planar antenna compared to the known rod antennas has a significantly increased broadband due to the radiator elements and the tuning measures can be omitted (due to the higher broadband).
