Generell kann (laut z.B. wikipedia.de) FR-4 (oder auch "FR4") generell eine Klasse von schwer entflammbaren und flammenhemmenden Verbundwerkstoffen beinhaltend Epoxidharz und Glasfasergewebe bezeichnen. Die Abkürzung FR kann für englisch flame retardant (dt. flammenhemmend) stehen, z.B. gemäß UL94V-0. FR-4 ist in verschiedenen Varianten am Markt verfügbar.

Claims (9)
- Antenna module, in particular for a motor vehicle, having a patch antenna (3) and having a support (2) on which the patch antenna (3) is arranged,
wherein the patch antenna (3) is in rectangular form with chamfers (4, 5) in two corners (5, 6),
wherein the support (2) contains an FR4 material, and
wherein the support has, in regions beside the patch antenna (3), four elongate recesses (10, 11, 12, 13) running parallel to the edges (35, 36, 37, 38) of the patch antenna (3) and each running around corners (5, 6) of the patch antenna (3), wherein the patch antenna (3) has further round through-recesses and/or plated-through holes through the patch antenna (3) and through the support (2), in particular more than three or more than five or more than nine each in two mutually orthogonal directions. - Antenna module according to Claim 1,
characterized
in that the recesses are elongate through-recesses (10, 11, 12, 13) and
in that the support (2) has one or more, in particular elongate, through-recesses (10, 11, 12, 13) running in regions respectively offset from the patch antenna (3) parallel to the edges (35, 36, 37, 38) of the patch antenna (3) and through a plane defined by the surface of the support (2). - Antenna module according to either of the preceding claims,
characterized
in that the support (2) has, in regions (45, 46, 47, 48) laterally outside and at the same time in a plane parallel to the plane of the patch antenna (3) between at least two recesses (10, 11, 12, 13) running parallel to the edges (35, 36, 37, 38) of the patch antenna (3), a web, in particular in each case in the form of a connection between a region (25) of the support (2) beneath the patch antenna (3) and a region (45, 46, 47, 48) of the support (2) outside a region (25) beneath the patch antenna (3). - Antenna module according to one of the preceding claims,
characterized
in that the recesses (10, 11, 12, 13) in the support (2) are slots. - Antenna module according to one of the preceding claims,
characterized
in that an earth surface (50) of the antenna module (1) is kept at a distance from the support (2) by means of one or more spacers. - Antenna module according to one of the preceding claims,
characterized
in that a or the earth surface (50) of the antenna module (1) is arranged as a conductive layer of in particular copper on a printed circuit board (51), in particular on a side of the support (2) that is opposite the side of the patch antenna (3). - Antenna module according to one of the preceding claims,
characterized
in that the antenna module has a feed pin (70) that is in particular capacitively or galvanically connected to the patch antenna (3). - Antenna module according to one of the preceding claims,
characterized
in that the patch antenna extends two-dimensionally in a plane parallel to the plane in which the support (2) extends, and is mounted on the support (2) in particular two-dimensionally. - Antenna module according to one of the preceding claims,
characterized
in that the antenna module is a "dedicated short range communication" (DSRC) antenna module for a motor vehicle, and/or an antenna module for a toll collection module (60) for a motor vehicle.
