Definitions
- the technical field of the invention relates to monopolar wire-plate antennas. More particularly, the invention relates to a monopolar wire-plate antenna comprising a ground plane, a roof arranged at a distance from the ground plane, and at least one electrically conductive element electrically connecting the ground plane to the roof.
- a monopolar wire-plate antenna 100 of the type in this article by Ch. Delumbled et al., comprises a ground plane 101, a planar electrically conductive element 102, called roof, one or more electrically conductive elements 103a, 103b, called ground wire(s), connecting the roof 102 to the ground plane 101 and optionally a dielectric substrate 104 on which the roof 102 can be printed.
- the antenna 100 comprises a coaxial feed probe 105 having a central core 106a passing through the ground plane 101, without electrical contact with it. ci, and extending to the roof 102 so as to establish an electrical connection therewith.
- the core 106a is also successively surrounded by a sheath 106b of dielectric material 106b, then a metal tube 106c electrically connected to the ground plane, the sheath 106b of dielectric material ensuring electrical insulation between the core 106a and the metal tube 106c.
- Such a coaxial feed probe 105 forms a coaxial waveguide in which a quasi-transverse electric magnetic (TEM) mode is established to guide and propagate the wave in the waveguide.
- This type of antenna 100 makes it possible to emit an electromagnetic field, also called an electromagnetic wave, with high efficiency for frequencies located below the TM nm cavity resonance modes (for “Transverse Magnetic” of indices n and m) classic for this antenna geometry.
- resonance of classical cavity we mean the particular distribution of an electromagnetic field resulting from the resolution of Maxwell's equations with the boundary conditions imposed by the topology of the antenna.
- this monopolar wire-plate antenna can be fed asymmetrically from a suitable radio frequency transmitter having an asymmetrical connection (for example a microstrip line or a coaxial connector).
- Such an antenna 100 has the advantage of having a small footprint, it is therefore particularly suitable for being associated with components from microelectronics, particularly within a mobile device.
- a disadvantage linked to this type of antenna is that its technological integration in a small volume may imply that the radio frequency transmitter connected to the antenna has a differential connection instead of being asymmetrical.
- the differential connection transmitter makes it possible to generate two signals of equal amplitude and in phase opposition: the transmitter then forms a so-called “balanced” power source for the antenna.
- balun also called balun
- BALanced for balanced, or balanced, in French
- UNbalanced for unbalanced, or not balanced, in French
- a disadvantage of this adaptation of the differential connection is that it increases the bulk of the radio frequency front ends, implying the addition of additional components to be assembled which are generally not integrable on a chip, this results in radio frequency losses.
- there is a need to develop a solution making it possible to power an antenna with a roof, in particular capacitive, and with a ground plane electrically connected to each other without having to resort to the use of a balun when the antenna is intended to be connected to a transmitter with differential connection.
- a monopolar wire-plate antenna comprising a ground plane, a first radiating element in the form of a capacitive roof, and a second radiating element in the form of a conductive wire connecting the capacitive roof to the ground plane.
- This antenna also includes a cable, or coaxial feed probe, whose central core is connected to the capacitive roof.
- the power source for the coaxial power probe is a differentially connected radio frequency transmitter, this again requires the use of a balun.
- the aim of the invention is to enable power supply of a monopolar wire-plate antenna without requiring the presence of a balun.
- the invention relates to a monopolar wire-plate antenna, operating at a wavelength denoted ⁇ g, and comprising a ground plane, a roof arranged at a distance from the ground plane, and having strictly smaller dimensions at ⁇ g/4, at least one electrically conductive element electrically connecting the ground plane to the roof, this antenna comprising a feed loop arranged substantially orthogonal to the ground plane, said feed loop being open in such a way that it comprises two opposite longitudinal ends arranged so as to be connected to a differential connection.
- the antenna With such a power loop, it is possible to connect the antenna to a transmitter with differential connection without having to carry out an adaptation of the differential connection via a balun between the transmitter and the power loop.
- the power loop allows, during operation of the monopolar wire-plate antenna powered by the transmitter with differential connection when transmitting a signal or by an electromagnetic wave propagating in the environment of the antenna when of reception of a signal, to impose a distribution of the electromagnetic field in an appropriate manner between the ground plane and the roof to allow the monopolar wire-plate antenna to present a desired impedance and, where appropriate, to emit a satisfactory electromagnetic wave.
- the power supply/excitation of the antenna by the power loop makes it possible to obtain a symmetrical system which results in the reduction of the propagation of electric currents on the ground plane of the antenna, thus limiting the influence of the close context of the antenna, such as for example the influence of a person's hand holding a device equipped with the antenna.
- the invention also relates to a radio frequency device comprising a monopolar wire-plate antenna as described and a radio frequency transmitter with differential connection connected to the power supply loop.

- an operating wavelength of the antenna corresponds to the spatial period of the electromagnetic wave to be processed by the antenna propagating in a vacuum or in the air when the monopolar wire-plate antenna includes such a propagation medium.
- ⁇ 0 is associated with the propagation of the electromagnetic wave in a vacuum or in air.
- the propagation medium of the monopolar wire-plate antenna corresponds to an emission and/or reception medium of the electromagnetic wave to be treated.
- the propagation medium is, where applicable, the medium from which the antenna picks up the electromagnetic wave to be processed or to which the antenna transmits the electromagnetic wave to be processed.
- the wave electromagnetic to be treated propagates in a propagation medium of the monopolar wire-plate antenna (for example air, vacuum, a dielectric material, etc.) in contact with one or more radiating parts of the antenna, and the operating wavelength of the antenna (i.e. the wavelength associated with the propagation of the electromagnetic wave to be processed at the operating frequency of the antenna) is then denoted ⁇ g : we also speak of guided wavelength.
- the monopolar wire-plate antenna is said to be powered/excited, it is at the operating wavelength of the antenna.
- the monopolar wire-plate antenna is said to be impedance matched when it has a reflection coefficient strictly lower than a given level (typically -9.54 dB for communication terminals, and -15 dB for example for base stations ).

- the signal the electromagnetic wave
- the feed loop 107 can be arranged between the roof 102 and the ground plane 101, this has the advantage of satisfactory integration, and the advantage of reducing the overall size of the antenna 100 by integrating the loop power supply 107 in a separation space between the roof 102 and the ground plane 101.

- the guide waves is called "balanced" because it allows, thanks to its electrical conductors 111, 112, where appropriate, the propagation of the electromagnetic wave supplying the supply loop 107 generated by the radiofrequency transmitter 200 up to the feed loop 107 or the propagation of the electromagnetic wave captured (that is to say the signal picked up) by the antenna 100 from the feed loop 107 to the radio frequency transmitter 200.
- This has the advantage to be able to adapt the distance between the antenna 100 and the radio frequency transmitter 200.
- These first and second electrical conductors 111, 112 make it possible to respectively propagate two signals of equal amplitude and in phase opposition from which, where appropriate, results the propagation of the electromagnetic wave feeding the antenna 100 from the radio frequency transmitter 200 or the electromagnetic wave captured by the antenna 100.
- the first electrical conductor 111 is also connected to the first connection terminal 201, and the second electrical conductor 112 is also connected to the second connection terminal 202.
- the balanced waveguide 110 adopts a symmetrical geometry to ensure the proper propagation of the electromagnetic supply wave.
- the balanced waveguide 110 can take the form of coplanar microstrip lines, twin lines, or a bifilar line.
- the waveguide 110 is not necessary if the power supply loop 107 can be directly connected to the radio frequency transmitter 200.
- the two opposite longitudinal ends 108, 109 of the loop power supply 107 can be connected to a differential connection of a differential waveguiding device, this differential device which may be the balanced waveguide 110 or the connection terminals 201, 202 of the radio frequency transmitter 200.
- part of the supply loop 107 can be formed by a portion of the roof 102, this is particularly illustrated in Figure 9 where the third and fourth parts 1073, 1074 are in direct contact with the roof 102 which delimits the first part of the supply loop 107.
- the supply loop 107 can be in contact with the roof 102 ( figures 3, 5 , 7 And 8 ) or can be located at a distance from the roof 102 ( Figure 10 ).
- a part, in particular the first part 1071 described above, is formed by a portion of the roof 102, or is in contact with the roof 102, makes it possible to limit the bulk of the antenna 100 along the Z axis.
- An additional advantage of the power loop 107, part of which is delimited by the roof 102, is that this reduces the complexity of the manufacturing process of the antenna 100 since there will be one less level of metallization to deposit.
- the perimeter, also called length, of the feed loop 107 has an impact on the impedance matching of the antenna 100.
- the opposite longitudinal ends 108, 109 of the feed loop 107 are located equidistant, for example at 0.25 mm, from the middle of the fourth part 1074 mentioned above along the Z axis.
- the reflection coefficient (in dB) of the antenna 100 is a function of the frequency, normalized to 50 ⁇ , for these three cases of study of the antenna 100, it is possible to note that the frequency of operation of the antenna 100 for which the best impedance adaptation of the antenna 100 is obtained decreases with the increase in the perimeter P of the feed loop 107.
- the adaptation of the The antenna 100 operates when the perimeter of the loop is of optimal dimension close to ⁇ 0 /3.6, where ⁇ 0 is the operating wavelength of the antenna 100. With the lengthening of the loop power supply 107, the phasing of the currents in the excitation regions Z1, Z2 can thus take place at lower frequencies.
- the feed loop 107 preferably has a length, between its two opposite longitudinal ends 108, 109, between ⁇ g /3.7 and ⁇ g /3.5 with ⁇ g the operating wavelength of the antenna 100 in the medium of propagation of the antenna 100.
- the propagation medium of the antenna 100 is the medium in contact with each radiating element of the antenna 100, for example the medium in contact with each electrically conductive element 103a, 103b. This propagation medium can be air or a dielectric material.
- the matching of the antenna 100 becomes operates as soon as the perimeter of the feed loop 107 is of optimal dimension close to ⁇ 0 /2, where ⁇ 0 is the operating wavelength of the antenna 100 when the propagation medium of the antenna is the air. Furthermore, the balance of the excitation of the antenna 100, in the excitation regions Z1, Z2, in amplitude and in phase on the current density is lost when the supply loop 107 has too large a perimeter. or too small compared to its optimal dimension. Thus, at 6.5 GHz, for the antenna 100 having a loop with a perimeter P equal to 16.5 mm, the currents in the excitation regions Z1, Z2 of the antenna 100 are out of phase.
- the currents are in phase and of the same amplitude in the regions Z1, Z2 excitation of the antenna 100.
- the antenna 100 having a feed loop 107 of perimeter P equal to 16.5 mm and with the increase in the operating frequency of the antenna 100 it is found that the phasing of the currents improves in the excitation regions Z1, Z2.
- the antenna 100 comprising a feed loop 107 of perimeter P equal to 18.5 mm the balance in the excitation regions Z1, Z2 of the antenna 100 is lost in amplitude and in phase on current density with increasing frequency.
- the feed loop 107 preferably has a length, between its two opposite longitudinal ends 108, 109, between ⁇ g /3 and ⁇ g/ 1.6 with ⁇ g the operating wavelength of the antenna 100, particularly in the propagation medium of the antenna 100.
- the width of the feed loop 107 in particular measured along the Y axis, can also be adapted according to the desired characteristics of the antenna 100.
- the length of the feed loop 107 for the narrow band antenna 100 described, by setting the length of the feed loop 107 to 15 mm while varying its width between 0.8 mm and 1.4 mm in a step of 0.2 mm, it has been noted that increasing the width of the feed loop 107 results in an adaptation of the antenna 100 for lower operating frequencies. This is synonymous with an elongation of the loop equivalent to the supply loop 107 linked to the increase in its width.
- a width of the feed loop 107 of approximately 0.5 mm is optimal for good adaptation (strictly less than -10 dB) according to a normalization impedance of 100 ohms for an antenna operating frequency between 6.3 GHz and 9 GHz.
- Such a monopolar wire-plate antenna has an industrial application in the field of telecommunications where such an antenna can be manufactured and arranged within a radio frequency device as described above.
- the radio frequency device described can be integrated into any type of object communicating.
- the radio frequency device can be integrated into a smartphone worn on a person's belt to transmit via the antenna 100 a video stream to interactive glasses using an ultra-wideband link between 7 GHz and 9 GHz.
