Definitions
- the invention relates to a patch radiator according to the preamble of claim 1 according to the main patent DE 10 2011 117 690.3.
- Patch radiators are basically well known, for example from DE 10 2004 016 158 AI.
- Such patch emitters are known to comprise a dielectric substrate having an upper side, a lower side and circumferential wall sections, that is to say side surfaces. It is so far a three-dimensional body, which is square shaped in most applications in plan view. In this case, a closed, also square radiator surface is formed on the upper side, which is fed via a feed line extending perpendicularly thereto through the entire substrate and supplied from the underside.
- ground surface On the underside, there is also a ground surface, which possibly also protrudes over the outer contour of the substrate. seen, wherein the ground surface is provided with a corresponding hole-shaped recess through which the said feed line extends to the bottom of the ground plane through which the supply of the radiator surface is effected.
- Patch emitters are often used as circularly polarized emitters and antenna devices.
- the surface area which is generally square in design is square provided with in the corner areas incorporated discontinuities, so-called chamfers. They represent themselves as, for example, at two opposite corners incorporated triangular flats or recesses, over which the circularity of the patch antenna is formed.
- Such circula polarized patch antennas are often used - as mentioned as GPS antennas, above all also in motor vehicle antennas, in addition to a number of other antenna devices, for example for the implementation of mobile services, receiving radio programs, etc ..
- a generic patch emitter has become known for example from US 2011/0 148 715 AI. It comprises a square substrate (dielectric), on the upper side of which an electrically conductive emitter surface is formed.
- the radiator surface is provided centrally with an annular recess. The radiator surface is fed via a feed line running past the dielectric at the outer edge of the radiator surface.
- Patch emitters which have different geometries, are also known from WO 2006/036 116 AI as known. These are predominantly square or the square shape of approximated radiator surfaces, which are provided in the interior with variously shaped recesses, for example in an H-shape, in a double-trapezoidal shape, etc .. Is fed via a feed line from the outer Peripheral edge of the radiator surface as well as offset from the inner boundary edge of the recess incorporated in the radiator surface.
- US 2011/0 012 788 A1 describes a circularly polarized patch radiator arrangement which does not have a ring-shaped and / or frame-shaped radiator surface, but instead has a square radiator surface of the basic construction, which is provided with a large number of slots.
- a slot extends from the outer corner of the radiator surface in the direction of the center.
- slot-shaped recesses are incorporated on the longitudinal sides, which lead to larger recesses lying offset to it.
- this is a folded patch antenna with slots, which serves to reduce the antenna size.
- the circularity is accomplished as in a patch antenna by the mentioned discontinuities on the outer contour. Through the mentioned slots, the patch antenna but overall very narrowband.
- WO 02/063 714 A1 shows so-called fractal antennas.
- These fractal antenna structures can have a closed radiator surface. It is also shown that the fractal structure can be formed not only on the outer circumference of the patch antenna, but also in a central recess area.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a patch antenna and in particular a circularly polarized antenna. Siert patch antenna to create, based on their broadband to have the lowest possible antenna volume.
- the object is achieved according to the features specified in claim 1.
- Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims. It must be described as quite surprising that in the context of the present invention it has become possible to reduce the required antenna volume of the patch antenna according to the invention over conventional standard patch solutions by up to 50% (or even more). Conversely, with a constant size of the patch antenna according to the invention (compared to a conventional standard patch antenna), the broadband of the antenna increased by about 50% and thus significantly improved.
- the outer side or wall surfaces of the support body, so the substrate are also used for the design of the antenna.
- the radiator structure located on the substrate top side is widened in the form of a ring-shaped or frame-shaped radiator onto the side or outer surfaces of the three-dimensional substrate, as a result of which the volume of the carrier body can be optimally utilized.
- a specific feed structure is provided in the interior of the ring-shaped or frame-shaped radiator structure on the top side of the substrate, with which the antenna is used as circular waveguide. polarized antenna can be operated.
- the radiator surface located on the upper side of the substrate is designed to be ring-shaped and / or frame-shaped in principle, to form a recess region surrounding this annular and / or frame-shaped radiator surface structure.
- annular radiator structure is understood to mean any circumferential or frame-shaped radiator structure, that is to say also structures which do not necessarily have to be circular in plan view, but can also form, for example, a square or regular n-polygonal frame etc.
- the additionally provided extension of the radiation design from the substrate upper side to the side walls, that is to say the side surfaces of the substrate, may be different Be realized and structured way.
- the radiator structure provided on the side or wall surfaces of the substrate comprises a plurality of radiating sections extending from top to bottom and offset in the circumferential direction of the side or wall surfaces. These radiation sections formed or extending from top to bottom on the side walls are electrically-galvanically connected to the radiation surface located on the upper side of the substrate.
- the radiation surface located on the upper side of the substrate on the peripheral side walls of the substrate down in the direction of the ground surface extending, for example finger-shaped radiation sections, which are arranged spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the substrate by interposed electrically non-electrically conductive portions ,

- the electrically conductive sections extending from top to bottom can be strip-shaped when viewed from the side, and to be formed, for example, by strip-shaped electrically non-conductive sections. sections are spaced from each other. This results in a meandering or similar rectangular structure. Also possible is a wave-shaped circumferential structure, whereby downwardly projecting, mountain-shaped elevations or projections and formed therebetween above valleys are formed. These structures can also be viewed from the side but also for example. be triangular, trapezoidal, etc. There are no restrictions in this respect.

Because the emitter surface of the patch antenna is quasi expanded from the top of the substrate in the direction of the circumferential side surfaces out and thereby increased. How this expansion is done and structured can be done in a variety of ways.
- the broadband capability of the patch antenna according to the invention is also markedly improved over conventional solutions, namely by the formation of a multiplicity of additional side radiation surface sections through which a boundary line for the electrically conductive radiator structure is formed whose circumferential length is significantly larger than the actual circumferential length of the structure of the substrate.
- this also makes the vertically polarized portion of the electromagnetic field (terrestrial gain) because the side-radiating surface portions (hereinafter also partially referred to as finger-shaped portions) communicating with the radiating surface and extending sideways are comb-like, or may be, these protruding portions then being like small vertical radiating elements act.
- the patch antenna can also be reduced in size compared to conventional patch antennas, and this with simultaneously improved broadband.

- This side surface radiator structure can then over the Edge over or over the side walls or side surfaces in the distance and even protrude in contrast to the optionally perpendicularly extending side surface portions angled to be angled at the lower end opposite to the radiator surface etc .. Varied modification are possible here. For example, with multiple outwardly different extent protruding folded or curved or folded side surface radiator structure sections. In this case, even the feed line punched out of the metal sheet and be angled perpendicular to the radiator surface down through the substrate, whereby manufacturing advantages can be realized.
- feed structures of the most varied design and provided with very different geometries can be used, which are based on the principle of galvanic or else on the principle of a capacitive feed.

- This three-dimensional substrate comprises an upper side 3a, a lower side 3b, and peripheral side walls 3c, which are also sometimes referred to below as side surfaces 3c.
- side walls or side surfaces 3c are aligned in the embodiment shown perpendicular to the top or bottom 3a, 3b of the substrate and thus parallel to the central axis 7, which passes through the top and bottom of the substrate vertically and centrally.
- sidewall space S is also sometimes used below, since, as will be seen later, the further structure structure is no longer directly on the surface of the sidewalls 3c, but also in the Distance can be provided.
- the substrate may be made of a suitable material.
- ceramic with a comparatively low value for the permittivity that is to say the dielectric conductivity ⁇ ⁇
- This also makes it possible to use as a substrate not only mandatory ceramic, but also preferably plastic, for example, especially when the patch antenna for receiving programs broadcast via SDARS (especially in North America) or to receive via GPS radiated Position data should serve. This minimizes losses.
- the values of ⁇ ⁇ may preferably vary between 2 to 20.
- an electrically conductive radiating surface 11 is formed on the upper side 3a of the substrate (or generally above the upper side 3a), for example in the form of a metallization provided on the upper side 3a. If the metallization is designed in the form of a metal sheet, then this can be glued or pressed on the top of the substrate, for example, whereby a good fixation can be achieved.
- the radiator surface 11 is not formed as a closed emitter surface, but designed ring- or compassionför- mig, ie in the form of a circumferential (closed) emitter surface forming at least one of the circumferential closed emitter surface 11 surrounding recess 13, within which a subsequent, yet discussed in more detail feed structure 15 is provided for the radiator surface 11.
- the ring and / or frame-shaped radiator surface 11 is formed so that it is arranged circumferentially around a patch antenna generally centrally passing through the central axis 7, in a plane which is oriented perpendicular to the central axis 7 in the rule is.
- a - mass surface 17 is formed, which may also be provided in the form of a metallization.
- the ground surface 17 is dimensioned larger in the longitudinal and transverse directions than the longitudinal and transverse directions of the substrate, so that the ground surface 17 projects beyond the side walls 3c of the substrate.
- the ground surface can consist of a metal sheet. It is also possible that the ground surface 17 is also formed as a metallization, which is preferably provided on the upper side facing the patch antenna 1, wherein the patch antenna 1 then with the bottom of its substrate on this formed on the printed circuit board LP metallization positioned, for example, can be glued ⁇ .
- ground plane 17 can thereby also be a structural part on which the previously-described patch antenna is placed without a separate own ground plane, for example in that the patch antenna positioned with its substrate on the body sheet of a motor vehicle, is glued at ⁇ play.
- the patch antenna 1 according to the invention is likewise provided on its circumferential side walls or side surfaces 3c with a side surface radiator structure 18 which electrically with the radiator surface 11 on the top side 3a of the substrate 3 is galvanically connected, in the embodiment shown in this emitter surface 11 passes.
- the side surface emitter structure 18 consists of a multiplicity of side emitter surface sections 19 which, with their ends 19a facing the emitter surface 11, are electrically-galvanically connected to the emitter surface 11 or merge into the emitter surface 11.
- the opposite end 19a thus runs away from the radiator surface 11 in the direction of the ground surface 17 and ends at a distance therefrom free, that is generally without galvanic contacting with the asseflache 17.
- electrically non-conductive recessed regions 20 are formed between two adjacent side radiator surface sections 19, which extend at least in a partial height of the respective side wall 3c.
- an overall radiator surface or overall radiator structure 25 is created, which includes both the radiator surface 11 located on the upper side 3a of the substrate 3 and the additional side surface radiator structure 18 with the associated plurality of side radiator surface sections located on the side walls or side surfaces 3c 19 includes.
- the total area for the radiator structure can thus be increased, without the dimensions of the patch antenna having to be increased.
- not only the entire radiator surface is enlarged by this extension on the side walls, but also increases the entire boundary or outline 23, which surrounds the total radiator surface and is defined by the boundary line, the side radiator surface portions 19 of the recess areas 20 separates.
- the exemplary embodiment described so far shows that the side surface radiator structure 18 is provided directly on the surface of the circumferential side surfaces or side walls 3c of the substrate, which is particularly suitable if the corresponding overall radiator structure is in the form of a metallized surface on the corresponding surface areas. is formed, whereby thus the overhead radiator surface 11 and provided in the circumferential area side emitter surface portion 19 are formed.
- the side radiator surface section 19 can also be provided at a lateral distance from the respective surface of the side walls 3 a, for example if, for example, one laterally projecting support structure over the side walls is used, which, for example, according to Art a downwardly open box is placed on the substrate, so that circumferentially comparatively thin flange portions are formed which are spaced from the mentioned side walls 3c of the substrate, so that on these flange portions, the mentioned side surface radiator structure 18 may be formed.
- the entire radiator structure made of a metal sheet, folded, bent, etc., so that the radiator surface 11 lying on top of the substrate merges into a side surface radiator structure 18 whose side radiator surface portion 19 at a distance from the surface of the Side walls 3c come to rest. Therefore, it is generally also said that the side-radiating surface sections 19 are not formed directly on the side surfaces or side walls 3c of the substrate but are provided in the side surface or side wall region S, that is, at a distance from the side surfaces or side walls 3c are located. Therefore, as already mentioned, part of the side surface space S spoken, in which the side surface radiator structure 18 is provided and / or formed. This will be explained later with reference to further embodiments.
- FIG. 1 In the embodiment shown in FIG 1 extend the side-emitter surface portions 19 in a partial height 19 'of the total height H of the substrate 3, so end at a distance 27 in front of the bottom 3b of the substrate.
- the recessed areas 20 extend between two side radiating surface sections 19 at a partial height 20 'of the substrate 3 and terminate at a distance 29 below the upper surface 3a of the substrate 3.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view in which on the left side the patch Antenna which cuts through a downwardly extending side radiating surface section 19, namely at a partial height 19 'starting from the upper radiating surface 11, whereas on the right side of the sectional view a section is reproduced, which extends through a recess region 20, which extends in a partial height 20 'from the ground surface 17 upwards, so that the recess region terminates at a distance 29 in front of the upper side 3 a of the substrate 3.
- the side radiator surface sections 19 are connected to one another on their side facing the radiator surface 11, as it were, via an electrically conductive strip 29 on the side wall 3c.
- the electrically nonconductive recess portions 20 are interconnected via a lower strip 33 in front of which the downwardly projecting portion of the side radiator surface portions 19 terminates.
- An overlapping region 35 therefore results in the exemplary embodiment shown with a partial height 35a in which the electrically conductive side radiator surface area Sections 19 and the recessed areas 20 are formed adjacent to each other.
- the height 20 'of these recess regions 20, such as the height 19' of the side radiator sections 19 and the height 35 'of the overlapping region 35, can be selected differently within wide ranges. They can extend over the entire height of the side walls or only over a partial height. There are no restrictions in this respect.
- the heights and partial heights for the side radiating surface sections 19 and the recess regions 20 can also be dimensioned differently at different locations, so that the remaining sections 27, 29, 31, 33 can also have different values at different points of the circumferential side wall 3c .
- the slot-shaped recesses 20 thus formed may also extend to the top side 3 a of the substrate 3, just as the height or length of the side radiator surface sections 19 may reach at least almost to the plane of the ac surface 17.
- the width of the multiplicity of side radiator surface sections 19, as well as the width of the recess regions 20, can be chosen arbitrarily within wide ranges. These widths may also vary in a single embodiment. The smaller the widths, the larger and thus the longer the boundary / contour line 23.
- preferably 4 to 16 side radiator sections 19 and thus also recessed areas 20 can be arranged successively, ie side by side, on the entire peripheral surface 3c or in the side surface space S.
- Preferred numbers can be between 10 to 50 or 20 to 40 are. There are no real restrictions, with a higher number as mentioned leading to an enlargement of the boundary / contour line 23, which is advantageous. Therefore, the above values are to be understood as exemplary only, ie without limitation.
- the shapes for the sostrahler schizophrenia- sections 19 and the recessed areas 20 can be chosen differently.
- the description of the structure of the patch antenna according to the invention shows that the main reason for the compact design of the antenna is the utilization of the outer side surfaces or side walls 3c of the carrier body 3. Because the radiator surface 11 located on the upper side 3a of the substrate thus merges into radiator surface sections on the side walls 3c, whereby the total radiator surface is increased.
- the vertically polarized component of the electromagnetic field is amplified by the patch antenna explained, since a comb-like side surface radiator structure 18 is created by the finger-shaped side radiator surface sections 19 in the exemplary embodiment shown, in which the side radiator surface sections 19 act as small vertical radiator elements.
- side surface radiator structure 18 is designed with rectangular side radiator surface portions 19 and intermediate rectangular recessed areas, so a meander-shaped structure, that is to say a meander-shaped delimiting and / or contour line 23, over which the rectangular side radiator surface sections 19 are separated from the recessed areas 20 offset in the circumferential direction.
- FIG. 3b shows only schematically that the sections 19 and the recess sections 20 belonging to the total radiator surface 25 can also be separated from one another by a wave structure, that is to say by a wavy delimiting or contour line 23 (this wavy line can be sinusoidal - or cosine-shaped, or follow another waveform). It is shown with reference to FIG. 3c that the boundary line 23 between the two sections can also be designed zigzag-shaped.
- boundary line 23 can in principle take any form, for example also be able to follow a fractal structure.
- FIG. 3d shows that the side radiator surface sections 19 and / or the recess regions 20 located therebetween may have a fractal structure, so that a boundary / contour line 23 following between these sections is created between the sections 19 and the recessed regions 20 ,
- the design options for the side emitter surface portions 19 and the recessed areas 20 are varied and unlimited. It is apparent from the drawings, which are shown by way of example only, that the side-surface radiator structure 18 can have a multiplicity of side radiator surface sections 19 and / or electrically nonconductive recess regions 20, which extend from the radiator surface 11 in the direction of the ground surface 17.
- boundary and contour line 23 is larger by this configuration, that is greater than the pure circumference of the substrate 3 over its side walls away.
- the illustrated embodiment thus shows that the ring-shaped or radiator-shaped radiator surface 11 can ultimately be extended to the outer surfaces of the substrate 3, that is to the circumferential side or wall surfaces 3c, whereby the volume of the substrate 3 is optimally utilized.
- the total radiator area 25 can be increased without increasing the volume.
