Definitions

  • the invention relates to the reception and transmission of radio signals.
  • the invention applies to any terminal equipped with a radioelectric type transmission-reception module requiring an antenna.
  • terminals are becoming increasingly miniaturized; for example , smartphones or small terminals intended for televisions to download and decode audiovisual programs on an Internet network, which come in the form of small boxes or electronic keys to be connected to the television.
  • smartphones or small terminals intended for televisions to download and decode audiovisual programs on an Internet network, which come in the form of small boxes or electronic keys to be connected to the television.
  • the limited space on the terminal does not allow for an antenna of sufficient size for good quality reception.
  • antennas for example made of a metal wire arranged on a small printed circuit.
  • These antennas have a certain number of drawbacks: first of all, such an antenna exhibits a reception quality lower than that of larger antennas. If the reception quality is insufficient, the flow rate necessary for the correct reproduction of the audiovisual content may not be achieved, which results in a certain number of annoying problems at the level of reproduction on the television (image not received, degraded, frozen, distorted sound, etc.); in addition, the arrangement of the antenna cannot be modified, whereas it is well known that a change in the orientation of such an antenna often makes it possible to considerably increase the reception quality; moreover, in the case where two antennas are desirable, in particular to improve reception, it is necessary to respect a certain spacing between them, which is not possible with this type of antenna since the support (the terminal) imposes size constraints.
  • terminals of this type for example electronic keys, are placed behind televisions, which reduces the sensitivity and therefore the effectiveness of their antenna.
  • the invention offers a solution which does not have the drawbacks of the state of the art.
  • the invention relates to a cable and a connector as described in claim 1.
  • the term module can correspond to both a software component and a hardware component or a set of hardware and software components, a software component itself corresponding to one or more computer programs or subprograms or more generally to any element of a program capable of implementing a function or a set of functions as described for the modules concerned.
  • a hardware component corresponds to any element of a hardware assembly capable of implementing a function or a set of functions for the module concerned (integrated circuit, smart card, memory card, etc.).
  • antenna we classically mean one or more devices for radiating (transmitter) or capturing (receiver) electromagnetic waves.
  • the antenna converts electrical quantities existing in a conductor or a transmission line (voltage and current) into electromagnetic quantities in space (electric field and magnetic field), this in transmission and vice versa in reception.
  • the shape and dimensions of an antenna are extremely variable.
  • An antenna for receiving television signals can take the form of a metal rake or a coaxial cable, for example.
  • cable we mean here a bundle of wires protected by an insulating covering, or sheath.
  • the cable itself can be made up of several cables, or sets of wires, each performing a particular function. (communication, power supply, etc.), connecting the two ends of the cable and capable of supporting a standardized protocol (HDMI for “High Definition Media Interface”, MHL for “Mobile High Definition Link”, USB for “Universal Serial Bus”, etc.)
  • Power supply means a cable carrying at least one means of power supply for the terminal. Any cable supporting a power supply can be used: USB serial cable, electrical cable, telephone cable, Ethernet cable, MHL audiovisual data transmission cable, etc.
  • Communication medium means a means of communication for the terminal. Any cable or connector offering data exchange can be used: serial cable or connector of the USB type, telephone, Ethernet, audiovisual data transmission of the HDMI or MHL type, etc.
  • a connector is a device capable of ensuring the connection of electrical cables subjected to currents of varying intensity, at the end of the cable.
  • computer connectors also called “input-output connectors”
  • input-output connectors are interfaces for connecting equipment using cables. They generally consist of a male plug, with protruding pins (in English pin), which are inserted into female sockets (in English sockets), made up of reception sockets.
  • the pins and sockets of the connectors are generally connected to electrical wires constituting the cable.
  • the association of the pins with each wire of the cable is called pinning (in English pin lavout ).
  • Each numbered pin generally corresponds to a wire of the cable, but it happens that one of the pins, as well as the corresponding wire, if present, is not used.
  • the WIFI antenna of a small transceiver terminal such as an electronic key is generally located in the terminal (printed circuit comprising for example a metal wire).
  • the invention by introducing the antenna into the communication or power cable, offers the advantage of moving it into a cable that is already used to transport the electrical power supply of the terminal or the data to be restored, and which is therefore necessary in the system.
  • it is sufficient to arrange the electrical power supply and/or the communication cable and the antenna in the same sheath, or to pass the antenna cable through the existing sheath of the electrical cable. This is particularly interesting in the case of Wi-Fi systems.
  • the antenna does not modify the electrical characteristics of the cable connector, i.e. it does not use the active wires of the cable (those used for example for data transport or for power supply) to pass the radio signals.
  • the antenna coexists with the cable but does not use its wires.
  • the invention makes it possible to advantageously share the cable, which is necessary for the terminal, and therefore always present, and the antenna.
  • the invention makes it possible, by extracting the antenna from the terminal, to reduce the size of the latter. It also makes it possible to offer a better quality antenna, since it is less limited in size, the only limit being the length of the cable.
  • the antenna can be moved (with the cable that supports it) to improve the reception or rebroadcasting of the broadcast signal depending on the location and orientation of the antenna of the terminal.
  • the antenna is less fragile, since it is protected by the sheath of the cable and external to the terminal.
  • the invention can thus be used for radio terminals (radio sets with antenna integrated into the power cable), television terminals (HDMI key allowing digital television content to be reproduced on the television to which it is connected), retransmission of Wifi radio waves (known as "Wifi Modems”), etc.
  • the antenna is a coaxial cable.
  • a coaxial cable is a transmission line or asymmetrical connection, used at high frequencies, composed of a two-conductor cable.
  • the central core which can be single-strand or multi-strand (copper or copper-clad steel), is surrounded by a dielectric material (insulation).
  • the dielectric is surrounded by a conductive braid (or rolled aluminum foil), then by an insulating and protective sheath. It can be shielded.
  • the antenna according to this embodiment of the invention is advantageously made up of a simple cable whose metal core plays the role of transmitter-receiver.
  • the antenna also does not disturb the communication or power cable.
  • the particular shape of the coaxial cable makes it possible not to produce (and not to pick up) disturbances on neighboring signals.
  • the shielding of the electrical wires reduces the emission of electric fields over the entire length of the circuits.
  • the length of the antenna can be adapted to the type of signal transported.
  • the length of the antenna is limited according to the invention only by the length of the cable that carries it.
  • the optimal length of an antenna depends on the wavelength (therefore the frequency) used for the chosen radio technology.
  • a Bluetooth antenna does not have the same ideal length as a Wi-Fi antenna. It also depends on the mechanical characteristics (the nature of the conductor and its dimensions, the diameters of the sheath and the central conductor, the nature of the dielectric) and electrical characteristics (its characteristic impedance, its attenuation constant, etc.)
  • Each antenna can thus, according to the invention, be sized to its ideal length by a simple calculation within the reach of those skilled in the art.
  • this length can be of the order of fifteen centimeters.
  • a data or power cable of about fifteen centimeters is sufficient to accommodate this cable and transport the radio signal in optimal conditions.
  • the connector comprises at least one unused pin and said at least one antenna exits the connector via this pin before being connected to the data transmission/reception module.
  • this embodiment makes it possible to benefit from the electrical connector of the cable without modifying its mechanical or electrical behavior.
  • a free pin of the cable is used to pass the antenna cable. The latter emerges from the terminal side and can be easily connected to the antenna signal reception circuit.
  • An example will be given later in the context of the HDMI standard.
  • a pin specified by the standard, but not used in the context of the invention, may be used for the antenna.
  • the data wires may be used for the antenna.
  • the antenna is in such a case advantageously connected to the unused wire, or alternatively this wire is removed to make room for the antenna wire.
  • the USB type cable comprises the power support.
  • this embodiment makes it possible to share the power cable, which is necessary for the terminal, and therefore always present, and the antenna.
  • This embodiment is particularly useful if only the power part of a USB type cable is used, in order to ensure power that is not present in the data cable, for example HDMI type.
  • the HDMI type cable comprises the communication medium.
  • this embodiment makes it possible to share an audiovisual data transport cable of known type with the receiving antenna.
  • the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) standard specifies a set of standards for the transport of audiovisual data. In particular, it defines an electrical and logical interface allowing the transfer of uncompressed digital multimedia data in high definition. It is now widely used for the transport of digital audiovisual data.
  • the HDMI cable can for example be supplied with the small terminal in the form of an extension.
  • it is easier in some cases to connect it to such a cable, used as an extension, than directly to the television (in particular if the HDMI socket of the television is on the rear panel).
  • the user then benefits advantageously from an extension that allows him to connect comfortably to the HDMI port of his television while including the reception antenna.
  • the cable comprises the power supply support and the communication support, it is of the MHL type.
  • this embodiment makes it possible to share a known type of audiovisual data transport and power supply cable with the reception antenna in an MHL type cable.
  • the MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) interface makes it possible in particular to connect mobile terminals to high-definition televisions and monitors.
  • This interface was created by the consortium of the same name in 2010.
  • the MHL interface provides several simultaneous functions, including the transfer of very high-quality images and sound in the form of uncompressed audio tracks, as well as recharging the terminal. It corresponds to an evolution of HDMI but also allows you to do without another power source; it is therefore set to gradually replace current HDMI cables.
  • the MHL cable can be supplied with the terminal, for example the electronic key, in the form of an extension.
  • the user then benefits advantageously from an extension that allows him to connect comfortably to the MHL port of his television and which includes the reception antenna.
  • the cable comprises at least one Wi-Fi type antenna.
  • the Wi-Fi standard is now widely used in the field of audiovisual signal reception, particularly of the streaming type (in French, progressive download).
  • the purely receiving part of the antenna is often reduced to a simple metal rod. It is preferable, for reasons of reception performance, to replace this metal rod with a coaxial type transmission cable and to use the metal core of the cable as a receiving antenna.
  • the cable comprises at least two Wi-Fi antennas of different types.
  • Wi-Fi in fact covers a set of standards of the IEEE 802.11 specification.
  • a suffix in the form of a letter makes it possible to distinguish the standards from each other.
  • 802.11a 5 Ghz
  • b 2.5Ghz
  • g 2.5Ghz
  • n 2.4 or 5Ghz
  • ac 5Ghz
  • a system as described above is characterized in that the cable comprises at least one Bluetooth type antenna.
  • Bluetooth is a communication standard allowing the bidirectional exchange of data over very short distances and using UHF radio waves.
  • it can be used for specific functions that are of interest in the case of audiovisual equipment/terminal: remote control signals, etc.
  • the invention also relates to a system according to claim 11, comprising a terminal and a cable and a connector.
  • the terminal further comprises an antenna internal to said terminal.
  • this embodiment of the invention makes it possible to have at least two antennas, on the one hand the native antenna of the small terminal, and on the other hand the antenna (or antennas) which is (are) in the power cable and/or in the communication cable.
  • the two combined antennas are, as mentioned above, capable of cooperatively providing an improved signal, and therefore a better throughput than if a single antenna were used. It is thus possible to retain the advantages of the existing small terminal (with its integrated antenna) while considerably improving the reception quality in contexts where a higher reception quality is desired.
  • the system as described above is characterized in that it further comprises an antenna selection module.
  • the antenna selection module is suitable for selecting, depending on the case, one, the other, or both, or even more, antennas. This feature is particularly interesting in the case where reception requires the active presence of several antennas (internal and/or external), or when a problem occurs on the external antenna (offering in this case the possibility of activating the internal antenna, even if it offers degraded reception of the signal, while waiting for the resolution of the problem on the external antenna).
  • a cable can be supplied in the form of an extension (HDMI, MHL, etc.) with the small module. It can measure a few centimeters, typically about fifteen, to provide good reception quality while facilitating the connection of the key to the back of the television.
  • FIG 1 represents the general context of the invention.
  • a terminal device (1) is connected, in this example, on the one hand to a television (3) and on the other hand to the service gateway (6) of a local network (not shown).

  • a service gateway such as a Smartphone (smart mobile phone), a PDA ("Personal Digital Assistant"), an electronic key (1) for downloading audiovisual content or more generally any device capable of communicating wirelessly, in Wi-Fi mode, with the service gateway.
  • the terminal according to the different embodiments is in the form of an electronic key (in English, " dongle ”) connected to a video port of the television (3), in this example an MHL type port.
  • This small terminal (1) is also capable of establishing connections with the service gateway also connected to the wide area network (WAN, for Wide Area Network, as opposed to a local area network of the LAN type - Local Area Network).
  • the wide area network contains a multimedia content server (not shown) which hosts in particular audiovisual content for provision to the terminals of the local network.
  • the electronic key can, via the gateway (6), connect to the WAN content server, from which it retrieves the multimedia content (video and/or audio) to be played on the television (3).
  • the service gateway (6) has a Wi-Fi communication function, or access point ( AP ) , which allows it to communicate wirelessly with network terminals.
  • This access point includes a Two-way radio module for transmitting or receiving WIFI signals in the local network.
  • the terminal (1) To receive such signals, the terminal (1) must be equipped with an antenna. Rather than placing it, as is usually done, inside the terminal, it is here placed in the same sheath as the cable (2).

  • the cable 2 which will be described in more detail in support of the figure 5 , includes the "standard" USB cable, i.e. compliant with the USB standard.
  • the USB cable is of simple structure; it has two pairs of wires: the signal pair, intended for data transfer, preferably shielded if we want to avoid as much as possible interference between the data to be transmitted on the USB cable and the data transmitted on the neighboring antenna cable, and a second pair that can be used for power supply (pins "GND” and "VCC" of the USB standard).
  • cable 2 also includes an antenna which comes in the form of a coaxial cable whose core is used both for the reception and transmission of WiFi signals.
  • FIG. 3 represents a system according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • This embodiment differs from the previous one in that an HDMI cable (7) is used to connect the key to the HDMI port (8) of the TV.
