Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は受信アンテナの故障判定に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の技術として受信アンテナを含めた受信部の故障検出について一例を図2に示す。
【0003】
1は送信アンテナ、2は送信機、3は受信アンテナ、5は受信機、7は受信レベル判定部、8は試験送信用アンテナ、9は試験用送信機である(試験用送信機が送出した電波の周波数は受信機が受信した電波の周波数と同一である。)。送信機2と受信機5は同一車両内に実装され、各々制御部(図示せず)により制御されるが周波数が異なり、受信機5と受信アンテナ3を含めた受信部としての動作を確認するためには試験用送信機9から送信出力し、試験送信用アンテナ8から送出した電波を受信アンテナ3で受信し、受信機5に伝送する。受信機5は受信入力レベルを有し、受信入力レベルに応じた出力を受信レベル判定部に伝送する。
【0004】
受信入力レベル判定部7は試験用送信機9で送信した時規定のレベルが受信機5から入力されているか比較して受信アンテナ3まで含めた受信機5の故障判定をしている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前述の従来技術には受信アンテナ3の故障判定するのに試験用の送信機からの電波を受信させなければならない欠点がある。
【0006】
本発明はこの欠点を解決し試験用送信機を用いなくても受信アンテナ3の故障判定を行うことを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記目的を達成するため、受信アンテナと受信機間に方向性結合器を介し受信アンテナ故障判定用の受信機を接続し、受信アンテナ故障判定用受信機の出力を受信レベル判定部に入れるようにしたものである。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下本発明の一実施例を図1により説明する。1は送信用アンテナ、2は送信機、3は受信用アンテナ、4は方向性結合器、5は受信機、6は受信アンテナ故障判定用受信機、7は受信レベル判定部である(方向性結合器4は受信アンテナ3と受信機5間に用いる。)。受信機5および受信アンテナ故障判定用受信機6は受信入力レベル出力を有するものとする。送信アンテナ1と受信アンテナ3間の間隔は一定であるものとする。送信機1と受信アンテナ故障判定用受信機6の周波数は同一とする。送信機1が送信すると送信用アンテナ1から電波が送信される。受信アンテナ3は送信用アンテナ1から送信された電波を受信する。受信アンテナ3で受信した信号は方向性結合器4で結合され受信アンテナ故障判定用受信機6に入力する。受信アンテナ故障判定用受信機6と送信機1の周波数は同一であることから、受信アンテナ故障判定用受信機6は受信し、受信入力レベルを受信レベル判定部7に出力する。受信レベル判定部7は受信入力レベルが規定値以上あれば受信アンテナ3は正常、規定値未満であれば故障と判定する。
【0009】
送信アンテナと受信アンテナ間が常に同一間隔であれば電波減衰量はほぼ一定であるので、送信する毎に受信アンテナの故障判定ができる。連続送信する送信機であれば常時受信アンテナの故障判定ができる。
【0010】
受信機5の受信入力レベル出力は受信レベル判定部7に入力し従来の試験用送信機を用いた受信アンテナ3の故障判定も可能となる。
【0011】
本発明は方向性結合器4を介して受信アンテナ故障判定用受信機6と結合しているので受信機3が受信中でも送信機2が送信すれば受信アンテナの故障判定が可能である。
【0012】
【発明の効果】
本発明は鉄道車両等送信アンテナ、受信アンテナにそれぞれ送信機、受信機が接続され、送信アンテナ、受信アンテナも車両に固定され間隔が一定である無線システムに利用すると有効である。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to failure determination of a receiving antenna.
[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 2 shows an example of a conventional technique for detecting a failure in a receiving unit including a receiving antenna.
[0003]
1 is a transmission antenna, 2 is a transmitter, 3 is a reception antenna, 5 is a receiver, 7 is a reception level determination unit, 8 is a test transmission antenna, and 9 is a test transmitter (transmitted by the test transmitter. The frequency of the radio wave is the same as the frequency of the radio wave received by the receiver.) The transmitter 2 and the receiver 5 are mounted in the same vehicle and are controlled by a control unit (not shown), but have different frequencies, and confirm the operation as a receiving unit including the receiver 5 and the receiving antenna 3. For this purpose, a radio wave transmitted from the test transmitter 9 and transmitted from the test transmitting antenna 8 is received by the receiving antenna 3 and transmitted to the receiver 5. The receiver 5 has a reception input level, and transmits an output corresponding to the reception input level to the reception level determination unit.
[0004]
The reception input level judging unit 7 judges whether or not a prescribed level is input from the receiver 5 when transmitted by the test transmitter 9 to determine the failure of the receiver 5 including the reception antenna 3.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The above-mentioned prior art has a drawback in that a radio wave from a test transmitter must be received in order to determine a failure of the receiving antenna 3.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to solve this drawback and determine the failure of the receiving antenna 3 without using a test transmitter.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention connects a receiver for receiving antenna failure determination via a directional coupler between a receiving antenna and a receiver, and outputs the output of the receiving antenna failure determination receiver to a reception level determination unit. It is intended to be put in.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 is a transmitting antenna, 2 is a transmitter, 3 is a receiving antenna, 4 is a directional coupler, 5 is a receiver, 6 is a receiving antenna failure judging receiver, and 7 is a receiving level judging unit (directional The coupler 4 is used between the receiving antenna 3 and the receiver 5.) It is assumed that the receiver 5 and the receiving antenna failure determination receiver 6 have a reception input level output. It is assumed that the interval between the transmitting antenna 1 and the receiving antenna 3 is constant. The frequency of the transmitter 1 and the frequency of the receiving antenna failure determination receiver 6 are the same. When the transmitter 1 transmits, a radio wave is transmitted from the transmitting antenna 1. The receiving antenna 3 receives a radio wave transmitted from the transmitting antenna 1. The signal received by the receiving antenna 3 is combined by the directional coupler 4 and input to the receiving antenna failure determination receiver 6. Since the receiving antenna failure determination receiver 6 and the transmitter 1 have the same frequency, the receiving antenna failure determination receiver 6 receives the signal and outputs the reception input level to the reception level determination unit 7. The reception level determination unit 7 determines that the reception antenna 3 is normal when the reception input level is equal to or higher than the specified value, and determines that the reception antenna 3 is faulty when the reception input level is lower than the specified value.
[0009]
If the distance between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna is always the same, the amount of radio wave attenuation is almost constant, so that the failure of the receiving antenna can be determined each time transmission is performed. A transmitter that continuously transmits can always determine the failure of the receiving antenna.
[0010]
The reception input level output of the receiver 5 is input to the reception level determination unit 7 so that the failure determination of the reception antenna 3 using the conventional test transmitter can be performed.
[0011]
Since the present invention is coupled to the receiving antenna failure judging receiver 6 via the directional coupler 4, it is possible to judge the failure of the receiving antenna if the transmitter 2 transmits even while the receiver 3 is receiving.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is effective when used in a wireless system in which a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna are connected to a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna, respectively, such as a railway vehicle, and the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna are also fixed to the vehicle and the intervals are constant.
