Definitions

  • the invention relates to a foldable logarithmic-periodic antenna according to the features of patent claim 1.
  • a logarithmic-periodic antenna (abbreviated LPDA for Logarithmic-Periodic Dipole Antenna, also referred to as LogPed or LogPer for short) is a broadband antenna consisting of a number of dipoles whose length and distance to the direction of radiation decrease.
  • the structure of an LPDA is basically known, for example EP 1 923 955 A1 ,
  • LPDAs are used as television receiving antennas, in particular DVB-T, as they can operate both in the ultra-short wave (VHF) and in the decimeter wave (UHF) range and thus receive several different frequency ranges or channels with a single antenna can be.
  • VHF ultra-short wave
  • UHF decimeter wave
  • LPDA wide frequency ranges can be sent or received.
  • Further fields of application are military and civilian radio communication as well as anti-interference vehicles for locating radio interference.
  • jamming transmitter equivalent to the transmitter to be disturbed, emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves in order to superimpose the original waves of the opposing transmitter and thus to receive the receiver to disturb.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a foldable logarithmic-periodic antenna, which can be transferred from a transport position into an operating position or vice versa.
  • the logarithmic periodic antenna comprises a feed line, one or more transmitting means for transmitting and / or receiving electromagnetic signals, one or more carrier elements for holding the transmitting means, one or more means for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means.
  • the transmitting means are connected to a carrier elements and the feed line.
  • a carrier element in turn is connected to the feed line via a hinge device, so that the antenna can be transferred from a transport position into an operating position and vice versa.
  • the one or more means for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means are tubular and acted upon by an internal pressure.
  • these one or more means for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means are connected to the carrier elements for holding the transmitting means.
  • the transmitting means are fastened via connection points to the carrier elements and the carrier elements are designed as flexible wires.
  • the tubular means for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means subjected to an internal pressure, for example up to 50 bar, so try these occupy the most energetically favorable state. In this energetically most favorable state, the LPDA is then in the operating state. If the internal pressure is reduced, for example in the case of the degradation of the antenna, then this is energetic best condition abandoned and the antenna can be brought into a transport position.
  • an internal pressure for example up to 50 bar
  • the transfer of the antenna takes place from a transport position to an operating position upon application of the tubular means with pressure almost automatically.
  • the pressurization of the tubular means with an internal pressure is carried out by means known to a person skilled in the art, e.g. by means of pneumatic oils or compressed air.
  • the tubular means may e.g. be made of PU tubing or other known to a person skilled flexible and pressure-resistant material.
  • the transmitting means are designed as rigid transmitting elements or flexible transmitting strands.
  • the transmitting means are suitably made of a corrosion resistant conductive material, e.g. Made of stainless steel.
  • the support elements for holding the transmitting means are designed as rigid or flexible support elements.
  • the support members are made of a non-conductive material, e.g. made of glass fiber reinforced plastics.
  • one or more additional means for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means are present between the carrier element and the transmitting means and / or between the feeding line and the transmitting means. This ensures that, despite, for example, caused by temperature fluctuations length changes of the transmission means a uniform tension on the transmission means acts.
  • Fig. 1 is a first embodiment of a foldable LPDA according to the invention shown in the operating state.
  • the feed line 1 is connected at one end via the connection point 7 with the carrier elements 2a, 2b. Between the feed line 1 and the support elements 2a, 2b transmitting means 3 are arranged.
  • the means 4 for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means is designed annular in this construction. In the operating state, i. the means 4 is pressurized, the means 4 assumes the most energetically favorable state, which in this case corresponds to the shape of a ring.
  • the carrier element 2a is connected at the connection points 5a, 7 with a means 4 for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means.
  • the carrier element 2b is connected at the connection points 5b, 7 with a means 4 for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means.
  • the two support elements 2a, 2b and the feed line 1 are thus connected to the means 4 for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means.
  • This connection point 7 also serves as a joint between the feed line 1 and the support elements 2a, 2b.
  • the feed line 1 and the transmitting means 3 can be designed either as rigid elements or as flexible wires.
  • flexible wires can significantly reduce the pack size in the transport position.
  • this variant brings weight savings.
  • the support elements 2a, 2b are made of a non-conductive material, e.g. glass fiber reinforced plastics.
  • the feed line 1, also referred to as boom tube, is a two-wire line or a strip line.
  • the transmitting means 3 are made of a conductive and corrosion resistant material, e.g. Made of stainless steel.
  • the coupling of the transmitting means 3 between the carrier elements 2a, 2b and the feed line 1 in order to achieve the desired in the operating position of the antenna radiation properties is carried out according to a person skilled in the known rules, e.g. Cross principle, i. a horizontal electrical connection with changing assignment of the radiator elements (http://www.wikiweise.de/wiki/Logarithmisch-Periodische%20Dipolantenne).
  • guying device 2c, 2d are present. These bracing devices 2c, 2d are each connected at one end via the connection point 9 to the feed line 1 and at the other end via the connection point 5a or 5b to the means 4 for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means. This provides additional stability to the antenna in the operating position.
  • the transmitting means 3 are connected via spring elements 6 to the carrier elements 2a, 2b. As a result, an additional tensile force is generated on the transmitting means 3 in the operating state of the antenna. This additional pulling force compensates e.g. Length changes of the transmitting means 3, which are caused by temperature fluctuations of the environment.
  • the means 4 assumes the energetically most favorable state in the operating state.
  • the support elements 2a, 2b between the connection points 5b and 7 or 5a and 7 are stretched. In this position bring the support elements 2a, 2b attached to them via the connection point 8 transmitting means 3 in the optimum position for the operating state.
  • Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of a foldable LPDA according to the invention.
  • the arrangement of the feed line 1, the transmitting means 3, the support elements 2a, 2b and the spring elements 6 corresponds to the already in Fig. 1 Described.
  • a means 4 for producing a tensile stress on the transmitting means is connected at the connection point 9 with the feed line 1 and at the connection point 5a or 5b with the carrier element 2a or 2b.
  • the connection is made via connecting elements 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, which are designed as rigid elements.
  • the means 4 By the pressurization of the means 4, these assume the most energetically favorable state.
  • the means 4 are designed such that the energetically most favorable state corresponds to a straight line.
  • the connecting elements 10a, 10b and 10c, 10d When transferring from a transport position into an operating position, the connecting elements 10a, 10b and 10c, 10d erect, so that the transmitting means 3 between the feed line 1 and the support elements 2a, 2b are stretched.
  • Fig. 3 shows a third embodiment of a foldable LPDA according to the invention.
  • the LPDA is shown in a transport position and in the lower part in an operating position.
  • the carrier elements 2a, 2b are each divided into two sections 2a_1 and 2a_2 or 2b_1 and 2b_2.
  • the respective sections of a carrier element 2a, 2b are connected via a joint 22a and 22b.
  • the support elements 2a, 2b are connected to a means 4 in the region of this joint 22a, 22b.
  • the means 4 is not connected to the joint 22a, 22b.
  • the two support elements 2a, 2b are as in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 in serving as a joint connection point 7 with each other and the feed line 1 connected.
  • the two support elements 2a, 2b are connected to each other in the region of the connection point 7 via a means 4, this means 4 is not connected to the joint in the connection point 7.
  • the means 4 pressurized they take the energetically most favorable for them state.
  • Fig. 3 This energetically most favorable state in the region of the joints 22a and 22b is almost a straight line.
  • the extension of the means 4 causes the sections 2a_2 and 2b_2 to fold over and form an extension of the sections 2a_1 and 2b_1.
  • the feed line 1 can also be divided into one or more sections.
  • the pressurization of the means 4 arranged there also leads to an extension whereby the two support elements 2a, 2b are led away from one another. This ensures that a tensile stress acts on the transmitting elements 3 in the operating position.
