Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a three-dimensional antenna, capable of receiving and/or transmitting signals on any of the three dimensions, in addition, the antenna has an operating capacity at both low and high frequency (Hybrid).
  • the present invention can be used in applications such as automotive because of its compatibility with Automated Optical Inspection systems, also known as AOI, and its wide range of operating frequencies.
  • a three-dimensional hybrid antenna can be found for example in Spanish Patent ES-B1 -2200652 that discloses a three dimensional antenna comprising a rectangular shaped monolithic magnetic core, with a three mutually orthogonal windings arranged so that the antenna receives a signal in each of the windings when is subjected to a low frequency electromagnetic field.
  • the embodiment disclosed in the aforementioned document ES2200652 has a core adhesively bonded to a plastic base, being said plastic base provided with terminals on its bottom side for interconnection between the windings disposed surrounding the core and external systems.
  • the devices of the prior art have problems with the robustness of their connections, in that the terminals arranged in the plastic base usually are filaments with a reduced dimension. Moreover, the junction between the base and the core must necessarily be made by adhesives that must support a wide range of temperatures. Furthermore, these connections are usually in non-visible areas, so an optical inspection can not determine whether the connections are correct. In current devices, such inspections require more sophisticated measurements than visual inspection, consequently, this operation slow down the production process.
  • the EP1489683 document discloses a three-dimensional antenna which, according to one of the embodiments described, has a monolithic core around which windings are wound, said core being provided with metal terminal plates attached, which are used as connectors with the base, the ends of the windings are welded on this metal terminal plates to assure a secure electrical connection.
  • the connectors should be first produced from a metal plate and then attached to the core in a not specified manner. This construction is expensive and requires accurate assembly processes due to the small size of the antenna; there is also the possibility that these connectors are accidentally detached from the core, producing an antenna failure.
  • the proposed arrangements in the prior art lack the flexibility to add new antennas (or derivatives of existing antennas) in that they require the manufacture of a new base, or in the best case, the required peel adhesive that bonds the core to the base to access the terminal connections.
  • the antennas disclosed in the prior art operate only at low frequency and current industrial applications require that such antennas may also operate at higher frequencies while maintaining or reducing its current volume.
  • the present invention provides a three-dimensional antenna that operates over a wide frequency range (between 5 KHz and 30 MHz), which has a higher connections strength and that is compatible with automated optical inspection systems (AOI).
  • AOI automated optical inspection systems
  • the present invention relates to a three-dimensional antenna comprising:
  • the base is a printed circuit board comprising a plurality of first platings or metallizations connected to the windings, said first platings extended through the top of the printed circuit board, and said at least one core comprises a second platings which are connected to the windings and to said base first platings.
  • first platings also cover side sections of the base.
  • the aforementioned at least one core is concerned, according to a first embodiment, to a single monolithic core, around which the three windings are wound about three core orthogonal axes.
  • a second alternative embodiment includes three independent cores, each with an axis around which a winding is wound, said three cores are fixed on the base so that said axes of said three cores remain mutually orthogonal.
  • core as used in this description refers to this monolithic core or to this set of three cores indistinctly.
  • plating or metallization refers to additions or extensions of electrically conductive metal layer on the core or base.
  • the bond between the core and the second platings is performed by the core manufacturing process itself, by chemical bath and subsequent processes of sintering, the remaining connections between the windings and the platings are made by welding, achieving overall a greater strength of the connections.
  • the base is a printed circuit board comprising a plurality of platings connected to the windings through the second platings, said first platings may extend to partially cover the sides of the printed circuit board, to provide electrical connections through lateral contact.
  • the core is a ferrite core, more specifically the core may be a ferrite core comprising a Nickel-Zinc alloy, a Manganese-Zinc alloy, or amorphous Cobalt.
  • This core composition provide ferromagnetic qualities necessary for its operation, while high
  • electrical resistivity preferably equal to or greater than 10 Dm, which allows its surface second platings to be electrically isolated with respect to each other .
  • the aforesaid orthogonal windings are configured for operation at low frequencies (approximately between 300KHz and 5KHz) and further provides at least one winding with a smaller number of turns in such a way which provides a high frequency operation (approximately between 3MHz and 30MHz). Since the directivity at high frequencies is not so critical to the operation of the antennas, it can be used a single high frequencies winding, which can be added to the aforementioned windings to provide an antenna operation in two or three dimensions.
  • the high frequency winding may be a branch from an intermediate point of one low frequency winding. Additionally, branches can be provided in the three low frequency windings to obtain a three-dimensional antenna also at high frequencies without increasing the volume of the device.
  • the high frequency winding can be printed and/or embedded in the printed circuit board.
  • the over-mold can be vacuum molded.
  • a preferred material for said over-mold is a polymer material comprising a high thermal performance plastic, capable of withstanding the high temperatures reached during operation and assembly without burning.
