Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a conical monopole antenna according to the preamble of the appended independent claim.
  • Wideband antennas are well known in the prior art and are widely used in various communications systems.
  • An example of such a wideband antenna is a conical monopole antenna, also known as a monocone antenna that provides a low VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) over a relatively wide frequency band.
  • VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio
  • a conventional conical monopole antenna comprises a ground plate and a conical member, which are arranged at a small distance from each other such that the apex of the conical member is pointing toward the ground plate and the axis of the conical member is perpendicular to the plane of the ground plate.
  • the lower cut-off frequency of the conventional conical monopole antenna is determined by the diameter of the base of the conical member and the height of the conical member.
  • the higher cut-off frequency of the conventional conical monopole antenna is provided by making the diameter at the apex of the conical member to correspond to that associated with the highest frequency of interest.
  • the conventional conical monopole antenna comprises a coaxial feeder with an inner conductor connected to the apex of the conical member, and an outer conductor connected to the ground plate.
  • the coaxial feeder extends outwardly from the ground plate on a side thereof opposite the apex of the conical member.
  • a problem associated with the conventional conical monopole antenna is that the VSWR of the antenna is too high for many applications. The problem arises especially at low frequencies where the VSWR typically increases rapidly below a certain cut-off frequency. This cut-off frequency can be decreased by increasing the size of the conical member. This, however, increases the VSWR at high frequencies. It also increases the size of the antenna.
  • Z Monopole antennas that have a conical part and a cylindrical part are for example disclosed in US2724052 , EP2154752 and US2006/0012528
  • the conical monopole antenna according to the invention is characterised by what is presented in the characterising part of the appended independent claim.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.
  • a typical conical monopole antenna according to the invention comprises a first ground plate having a first and a second side, and a conical member having an apex and a base, the apex of the conical member being directed towards the first side of the first ground plate and the axis of the conical member being perpendicular to the plane of the first ground plate.
  • the typical conical monopole antenna according to the invention further comprises a cylindrical member having a first and a second end, the first end of the cylindrical member being directed towards the base of the conical member and the axis of the cylindrical member being perpendicular to the plane of the first ground plate, and a plurality of connecting members connecting the cylindrical member to the conical member in such a manner that the cylindrical member and the conical member are at a distance from each other.
  • the first ground plate and the conical member form the basic structure of the conical monopole antenna.
  • the apex of the conical member is pointing toward and arranged at a distance from the first side of the first ground plate.
  • the conical member is a right circular cone that is arranged with respect to the first ground plate such that its (longitudinal) axis is perpendicular to the plane of the first ground plate.
  • the apex of the conical member is connected to an inner conductor of a coaxial connector, and the first ground plate is connected to an outer conductor of the coaxial connector.
  • the coaxial connector may be mounted to the first ground plate.
  • a coaxial cable can be connected to the coaxial connector through the second side of the first ground plate.
  • the first ground plate and the conical member are preferably made of an electrically conductive material.
  • the first ground plate and the conical member can be made, for example, of a metal, such as copper, aluminium or brass, or of an electrically conductive polymer or plastic.
  • the first ground plate can have various shapes and dimensions depending on the requirements of the antenna.
  • the first ground plate is a disc, the diameter of which is chosen according to the diameter of the base of the conical member.
  • the axis of the conical member is preferably arranged to pass through the centre of the disc.
  • the thickness of the first ground plate can be chosen according to the height of the cylindrical member; as the height of the cylindrical member is increased also the thickness of the first ground plate should be increased.
  • the first ground plate is preferably solid.
  • the diameter of the first ground plate can be, for example, 80-100 mm, and the thickness of the first ground plate can be, for example, 15-25 mm.
  • the conical member can be solid or hollow.
  • a hollow conical member can be made of a metal sheet that is cut into a suitable shape and then rolled into a cone. The dimensions of the conical member are chosen according to the requirements of the antenna.
  • the diameter of the base of the conical member and the height of the conical member affect the lower cut-off frequency of the conical monopole antenna.
  • the diameter of the base of the conical member can be, for example, 80-100 mm, and the height of the conical member can be, for example, 60-80 mm.
  • the opening angle of the conical member can be, for example, 30-100 degrees, 40-90 degrees, 50-80 degrees or 60-70 degrees.
  • the cylindrical member is connected to the conical member with the plurality of connecting members in such a manner that the cylindrical member and the conical member are separated from each other by a distance, which is preferably at least 1 mm. In other words, there is a gap between the cylindrical member and the conical member.
  • the cylindrical member is galvanically connected to the conical member through the connecting members.
  • the cylindrical member and the conical member are also capacitively connected to one another.
  • the cylindrical member is preferably arranged concentric with the conical member, so that the axis of the cylindrical member is congruent with the axis of the conical member.
  • the connecting members define with the cylindrical member and the conical member a plurality of openings.
  • Each connecting member is preferably connected to an outer edge of the first end of the cylindrical member, and to an outer edge of the base of the conical member.
  • the connecting members are symmetrically arranged so that the distances between adjacent connecting members are essentially equal.
  • the cylindrical member and the connecting members are preferably made of an electrically conductive material.
  • the cylindrical member and the connecting members can be made, for example, of a metal, such as copper, aluminium or brass, or of an electrically conductive polymer or plastic.
  • the cylindrical member can be solid or hollow.
  • a hollow cylindrical member can be made of a metal sheet that is cut into a suitable shape and then rolled into a cylinder.
  • the diameter of the cylindrical member is equal to the diameter of the base of the conical member.
  • the diameter of the cylindrical member can be, for example, 80-100 mm, and the height of the cylindrical member can be, for example, 15-25 mm.
  • the connecting members are preferably bars or wires, the first ends of which are connected to the first end of the cylindrical member, and the second ends of which are connected to the base of the conical member.
  • the cylindrical member which is galvanically connected to the conical member with the connecting members, extends the length of the conical monopole antenna without increasing its diameter. This decreases the lower cut-off frequency of the conical monopole antenna, and as a result the VSWR performance of the conical monopole antenna is improved at low frequencies.
  • the cylindrical member is also capacitively connected to the conical member since the cylindrical member is arranged at a distance from the conical member. Due to this capacitive connection, the higher cut-off frequency of the conical monopole antenna is increased, and thus the VSWR performance of the conical monopole antenna is also improved at high frequencies.
  • the air gap between the conical member and the cylindrical member improves the radiation pattern performance at frequencies over 2 GHz and especially in the range of 5 to 18 GHz.
  • the VSWR performance of the conical monopole antenna remains good at high frequencies.
  • a construction without an air gap would have a usable radiation pattern performance only up to 2 GHz resulting in negative gains for 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz WiFi bands.
  • the conical monopole antenna according to the invention provides a very low VSWR over a wide frequency band. With the conical monopole antenna according to the invention, the average wideband VSWR performance in the 1 GHz to 18 GHz communication band can be as low as 1.2:1. On specific communication bands the VSWR can even be 1.1:1.
  • the diameter of the cylindrical member is equal to the diameter of the base of the conical member. This is an optimal choice from the point of view of the VSWR performance.
  • the diameter of the first ground plate is at most equal to the diameter of the base of the conical member. A larger diameter of the first ground plate would result in the radiation pattern of the antenna being lifted at high frequencies. A larger diameter of the first ground plate would also degrade the VSWR performance at high frequencies.
  • the distance between the cylindrical member and the conical member is 1-5 mm.
  • the optimal distance depends on the dimensions of the cylindrical member and the conical member. In many applications, a good choice for the distance between the cylindrical member and the conical member from the point of view of the VSWR performance is 2-3 mm.
  • the number of the plurality of connecting members is 3-10.
  • the number of the connecting members is 6-8.
  • the width of each connecting member can be, for example, 1-10 mm, preferably 2-8 mm, and more preferably 4-6 mm.
  • the optimal number and the size of the connecting members depend on the size of the cylindrical member.
  • the conical monopole antenna comprises a second ground plate having a first and a second side, the first side of the second ground plate being attached to the second side of the first ground plate, and the diameter of the second ground plate being larger than the diameter of the first ground plate.
  • the second ground plate improves the VSWR performance of the conical monopole antenna at low frequencies.
  • the first and the second ground plate form a staggered structure that allows decreasing the lower cut-off frequency without degrading the VSWR performance at high frequencies.
  • the staggered (tapered) structure of the first and the second ground plate reduces the electrical diameter of the required ground area of the conical monopole antenna having the cylindrical member connected to the conical member.
  • the staggered ground plate structure allows a direct installation of the conical monopole antenna on a large metal surface without degrading effects to the radiation pattern and the VSWR performance.
  • a single ground plate causes the radiation pattern to tilt upwards resulting in a negative gain in the horizon.
  • the staggered ground plate structure together with the air gap between the conical and the cylindrical member improves the antenna gain and the radiation pattern even more towards the horizon.
  • the second ground plate has also other advantages. It can function as a mechanical support for a radome. It also enables the conical monopole antenna to be installed on a wide conductive surface, such as a metal roof of a building, a vehicle or a vessel, without performance degradation of the antenna.
  • the second ground plate may also function at the same time as a mounting plate comprising holes for mounting screws.
  • the second ground plate is preferably made of an electrically conductive material.
  • the second ground plate can be made, for example, of a metal, such as copper, aluminium or brass, or of an electrically conductive polymer or plastic.
  • the second ground plate can have various shapes and dimensions depending on the requirements of the antenna. However, preferably the second ground plate is a disc, the diameter of which can be chosen according to the height of the conical member and/or the cylindrical member. The diameter of the second ground plate can be, for example, 130-150 mm, and the thickness of the second ground plate can be, for example, 4-10 mm.
  • the second ground plate is preferably solid.
  • the conical monopole antenna may comprise more than two ground plates, each having a different diameter.
  • the ground plates are arranged in a staggered manner so that the uppermost ground plate has the smallest diameter and the lowermost ground plate has the largest diameter.
  • the first and/or the second ground plate comprises a plurality of metal layers arranged one upon the other.
  • the parasitic capacitance due to the layered structure enables to achieve the same performance with thinner ground plates.
  • the metal layers can be arranged directly one upon the other, or using electrically non-conductive layers between the metal layers.
  • the thickness of the metal layers can be, for example, less than 1 mm, 0.5-1 mm, 1-2 mm or 2-4 mm.
  • the first and the second ground plate are made from a single block.
  • the conical monopole antenna comprises a tubular member arranged partly inside the conical member, the longitudinal axis of the tubular member being perpendicular to the plane of the first ground plate.
  • the tubular member is used to extend the frequency band of the conical monopole antenna to a desired low frequency communication band, such as VHF or TETRA.
  • the length of the tubular member is chosen to correspond to the desired communication band.
  • the first end of the tubular member that is inside the conical member can be galvanically or capacitively connected to the conical member.
  • the tubular member is preferably made of an electrically conductive material.
  • the tubular member can be made of various materials, for example of a metal, such as copper, aluminium or brass, or of an electrically conductive polymer or plastic.
  • the tubular member can be solid or hollow.
  • the tubular member is a tube that is arranged concentric with the conical member, so that the longitudinal axis of the tube is congruent with the axis of the conical member.
  • the length of the tubular member can be, for example, 100-400 mm, and the diameter of the tubular member can be, for example, 5-30 mm.
  • the tubular member is capacitively connected to the conical member. Capacitive connection between the tubular member and the conical member enables to use a shorter tubular member compared to a situation where the tubular member is galvanically connected to the conical member.
  • the tubular member can be attached to the conical member using a support that is made of electrically non-conductive material. Alternatively, the tubular member can be attached to a radome.
  • the tubular member is made of carbon fibre.
  • An advantage of the carbon fibre is that it widens the narrowband response produced by the tubular member compared to other materials such as metals.
  • the conical monopole antenna comprises at least one grounding wire connected between the conical member and the first ground plate. Because of the grounding wire, a static discharge can be prevented in the conical monopole antenna, and thus the sensitivity is improved.
  • the grounding wire also acts as a lightning protection for a communication system and it conducts EMC disturbances to a ground potential when the ground plate(s) is(are) electrically conductive and installed on a larger electrically conductive surface or when another grounding structure is used.
  • the first end of the grounding wire is connected to the base of the conical member, and the second end of the grounding wire is connected to the first side of the first ground plate.
  • the grounding wires can be symmetrically distributed around the conical member. This improves the VSWR performance when only one ground plate is used.

  • the inner conductor is connected to the apex of the conical member.
