Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a radiator for an antenna, and to an antenna including said radiator.
  • the design of the radiator is based on a separation of its electrical function and its mechanical supporting structure.
  • the performance of an antenna depends strongly on the RF performance of its radiator.
  • the radiator requires a radiating element, for instance a dipole, which has at least about 10 ⁇ m of a conducting layer.
  • geometrical tolerances of the radiator should be low, since they directly impact on its RF performance.
  • the geometrical tolerance that most critically affects the RF performance of a radiator is a distance between the radiating element and a feed. Accordingly, for a good RF performance the distance between the radiating element and the feed has to be kept as constant as possible over at least a part of the radiating element.
  • the radiator of an antenna is typically connected to a distribution network, and therefore at least the conduction layer of the radiating element should be solderable.
  • antennas are typically designed for a rather long life time, the geometrical tolerances and the RF performance mentioned above should be achieved in different environmental conditions, i.e. should be resistant, for instance, to changing temperatures, high humidity, shocks caused e.g. by wind, or vibrations.
  • radiator designs for antennas are numerous. Radiating elements with different geometries, for instance cross-like, vector-like, square-like, or horn-like geometries, are known. Further, various material processing techniques are used. For instance, die-casted aluminum or zinc is used with electrochemical plating for making it solderable. Further, pre-plated sheets, which are stamped and bent are used, and also PCB assemblies or injection molded plastic with electrochemical or electroless plating are used. Also mechanical interface designs for fixation of radiators to reflectors, or electrical interface designs, are numerous. For instance, as an electrical interface of a RF radiator, cables or PCBs are used, which need to be solderable.
  • a specific example of a conventional radiator employs a plastic dipole.
  • the radiator is injection molded at high temperature, and its material is fiber reinforced plastic.
  • this material is rather expensive.
  • conducting layers have to be applied by electroless or electrochemical plating, which both suffer from a high error rate, are expensive, and add considerable weight to the radiator.
  • the weight of such a radiator is comparable to the weight of a conventional radiator manufactured by aluminum die-casting.
  • PCB-based Another specific example of a conventional radiator is PCB-based.
  • the assembly of several PCBs with dipole and feed structures is necessary, but is rather complicated and cost intensive.
  • radiator uses a die-casted dipole.
  • the geometry, the conducting layer, and the supporting structure are all provided in one part.
  • the radiator thus has a high weight, due to a certain wall thickness required for the die-casting process. Additionally, an electrochemical plating process must be applied, which has a rather high error rate, adds weight, and is expensive.
  • a final example of a conventional radiator includes a sheet metal dipole, wherein the geometry and the supporting structure of the radiator are provided by the same part.
  • the sheet metal dipole has a high weight, due to a certain wall thickness that is necessary for its stability.
  • the radiator is furthermore only suitable for low band applications, due to a limited precision for the manufacturing of its bended parts.
  • US 2012/075155 A1 discloses an antenna assembly, which includes a reflector including a first ground plane, a second ground plane below and spaced apart from the reflector, an antenna adjacent a surface of the reflector opposite the second ground plane, and a grounding post galvanically connecting the first ground plane and the second ground plane.
  • the present invention aims to improve the conventional radiator designs.
  • the present invention has accordingly the object to provide a cheaper and lighter radiator with improved RF performance.
  • the present invention aims for a high manufacturing precision of the radiator geometry, so that the radiator is good enough for high band applications.
  • the present invention aims specifically for a low geometrical tolerance of a distance between a radiating element and a feed of the radiator.
  • the weight and the cost of the radiator should be suited for high volume production.
  • the radiator should be solderable, sturdy, and resistant against mechanical vibrations.
  • the present invention proposes a radiator, in which the electrical function, i.e. the actual radiating function of the radiator, is separated from a mechanical supporting structure of the radiator.
  • the idea of the present invention is to use a cheap but very precise mechanical carrier part, in order to provide to the radiator a shape and geometry with very small geometrical tolerances, and at the same time to use a thin walled, unstable sheet (having at least a conducting surface or being made from conductive material), in order to provide the radiating element.
  • a first aspect of the present invention provides a radiator for an antenna, the radiator comprising a radiating element being made of a non-self-carrying sheet comprising at least a conductive surface, a non-conducting carrier configured to hold in place the at least one radiating element, wherein the radiating element is connected to the non conductive carrier such that the radiating element follows at least one surface plane of the carrier, and wherein the radiator further comprises a feed which is fittingly insertable into a feed slot provided in the carrier such that when the feed is inserted into the feed slot, a capacitive coupling between the feed and the radiating element is established, wherein the radiator is characterized in that a gap is provided between a second surface plane of the carrier and a second part of the radiating element, wherein the gap is chosen such that at least in a temperature range from - 55°C to 85°C a contact in the area of the gap between the radiating element and the carrier caused by thermal expansion is avoided.
  • the radiator of the first aspect realizes the general idea of embodiments of the present invention, namely to separate the electrical and the mechanical functions of the radiator.
  • the non-conductive carrier provides the mechanical function of the radiator, i.e. it provides the radiator with its mechanical stability, defines its shape and geometry, and sets its dimensions with very small geometrical tolerances.
  • the carrier achieves in particular a precise positioning of the radiating element, for instance relative to a feed.
  • the carrier can be manufactured very precisely, while being still relatively cheap and sturdy.
  • the carrier is also light of weight.
  • the radiating element provides the electrical function, i.e. it provides the radiator with its actual radiating ability.
  • the radiating element is a non-self-carrying sheet, it is comparatively cheap in production, and is light of weight. Due to the individual advantages of its components, the radiator as a whole is suitable for high volume production, is comparatively cheap, very light of weight, and has excellent RF performance.
  • the distance between the radiating element and the feed is defined completely by the geometry of the carrier and has accordingly a very low tolerance. Consequently, the RF performance of the radiator is improved in view of conventional radiators, and the radiator is particularly well suited for high-frequency applications.
  • the gap is provided to avoid that due to different thermal expansion coefficients of the radiating element and the carrier, the preciseness of the geometrical dimensioning, and in particular the distance between the radiating element and the feed, deteriorates when the temperature changes.
  • the radiating element is connected to at least two surface planes of the carrier.
  • the at least two surface planes provide a stable connection between the radiating element and the carrier.
  • the radiating element may be a dipole with two dipole arms, wherein each dipole arm is connected to at least one surface plane.
  • a first part of the radiating element tightly follows a first surface plane of the carrier, and the first surface plane has a substantially constant distance to a feed slot of the carrier.
  • the first part of the radiating element which may be a first dipole arm of a dipole, has a constant distance to the feed. Since the carrier can be manufactured with high precision, the distance between the first surface plane and the feed slot can be provided with low tolerance. As a consequence, also the distance between the first part of the radiating element and the feed can be defined very precisely. Therefore, the RF performance of the radiator is improved.
  • the radiating element and/or the feed of the radiator is made of a metal sheet having a thickness of about 0.1 to 2 mm, preferably about 0.5 to 1 mm.
  • the thin metal sheet can be produced comparatively cheap, and is very light of weight.
  • the metal sheet can also be soldered well.
  • the metal sheet is a hot dip plated metal sheet.
  • the radiating element follows the first surface plane from a bottom part of the carrier to a top part of the carrier, and follows the second surface plane outwardly from at the top part of the carrier.
  • the first surface plane and the second surface plane are substantially perpendicular to another.
  • the carrier consists of one integrally formed part.
  • An integrally formed part is very easy and cheap to manufacture, and provides the best sturdiness.
  • the radiating element is connected to a first surface plane of the carrier by at least one protruding element provided on the carrier.
  • the protruding element may, for instance, be a knob, onto which the radiating element may be clipped. Accordingly, the radiating element may have a suitable counterpart, for instance, an opening or slot. Preferably, a snap fit is provided between the protruding element and the radiating element for a tight fit of the radiating element to the carrier.
  • the at least one protruding element is configured to partly twist said radiating element to form a spring pressing at least a part of the radiating element against the carrier.
  • the radiating element Due to the twist, the radiating element is pressed towards the carrier, so that the radiating element, at least the pressed part thereof, follows tightly a surface plane of the carrier.
  • the positioning of the radiating element is very precise, in particular relative to the feed.
  • the radiating element is connected to a second surface plane of the carrier by an undercut provided on the carrier.
  • the radiating element may be easily attached to the carrier by the undercut.
  • a snap fit between the undercut and the radiating element may be provided.
  • the snap fit connection may have some play, in order to allow for a thermal expansion of the radiating element and/or the carrier, respectively.
  • the carrier comprises an inner part and an outer part, and the inner part and the outer part are connected to each other for holding in between the radiating element.
  • the sheet-like radiating element can be held in place very securely, because it is fixed from both sides.
  • the two parts of the carrier are easy to manufacture and also easy to assemble.
  • the inner part is provided with an arm, and the radiating element is pressed by the arm against the outer part.
  • the arm holds the radiating element securely against the outer part of the carrier, so that the radiating element follows tightly a surface plane of the carrier.
  • the positioning of the radiating element within the radiator is very precise and stable.
  • the arm is provided with at least one spring, and the feed is pressed by the at least one spring against the inner part.
  • the arm has a lower stiffness than the spring.
  • the arm has a twofold function, i.e. it firstly presses the radiating element against the outer part, and it secondly presses the feed against the inner part. That means that the accurateness of the distance between the radiating element and the feed is mainly defined by the geometry and the elastic properties of the arm. Since the arm can be manufactured very precisely, the radiator can be provided with an excellent RF performance even at high operating frequencies.
  • a second aspect of the present invention provides an antenna comprising at least one radiator according to the first aspect as such or according to any implementation form of the first aspect.
  • the antenna of the second aspect inherits all advantages of the radiator of the first aspect as such or its implementation forms, which have been described above.

  • the radiator 100 comprises a radiating element 101 shown in (b), which is made of a non-self-carrying (e.g. thin metal) sheet comprising at least a conductive surface.
  • the radiating element 101 may be made of a metal sheet, in particular of a thin-walled, unstable metal sheet.
  • the radiating element 101 may be a dipole, and/or may for instance have a cross-shape as shown in (b) of Fig. 1 (and in all following figures).
