【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明はアンテナに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
指向性が広く、小型化に適したアンテナとして特許文献1に開示のものがある。このアンテナ1は、図1に示すように、平行な一対の軸部2、3とこの軸部に連結されるフラッグ素子5−1a〜1d及び5−2a〜2dを平面的な基板7に配置してなる。図中の符号8、9はターミナルであって、アンテナ1を外部回路へ連結する。

【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明者らは、上記タイプのアンテナを改良すべく鋭意検討を重ねてきた。その結果、フラッグ素子の個数やその形状を調整することにより、アンテナの利得が変化することに気付いた。
即ち、この発明は、一対の軸部と、該一対の軸部へ線対称に連結されるフラッグ素子と、を実質的に同一平面上に配置してなるアンテナにおいて利得を向上しようとするものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らの検討によれば、一方の軸部へ連結されるフラッグ素子の数を6〜12とすると、アンテナの利得に向上がみられた。
また、フラッグ素子の形状は軸部と平行な第1の辺と軸部に垂直な第2の辺とを有する長方形とすることが好ましく。特に、第2の辺の長さを前記第1の辺の長さの約3倍とすることが利得向上の見地から好ましい。
【0006】
【実施例】
以下、この発明を実施例を用いてより詳細に説明する。
図2に実施例のアンテナ10の構造を示す。このアンテナ10は樹脂製のフレキシブル基板11上に図示のパターンの導電性の薄膜部12が形成されてなる。この薄膜部12がアンテナとして機能する。
薄膜部12のパターンは次のように構成されている。図示中央に配設される一対の軸部13、14はその上端で連結されている。各軸部13、14にはそれぞれ8つのフラッグ素子15及び16が連結されている。図中の符号17、18はターミナルである。このパターンは軸部13、14の中央線を中心とした線対称の形状である。
また、軸部13、14の上端(ターミナルから離れた端部)とフラッグ素子15及び16の上端とは面一とするか若しくは軸部13、14の方がフラッグ素子15及び16より少し突出しているようにすることが好ましい。
【0007】
各フラッグ素子15、16は長方形枠形状であり、軸部13、14に垂直な横辺(第2の辺)15b、16bはその縦辺(第1の辺)15a、16aの約3倍の長さを有する。また、横辺15b、16bがそれぞれ延長して各軸部13、14に連結している。かかる構成を採用することにより各フラッグ素子15、16の利得が向上し、結果としてアンテナ全体の利得が向上する。
この実施例では長方形枠形状のフラッグ素子を採用したが、閉じた枠形状であれば他の形状のフラッグ素子を採用することも可能である。
【0008】
かかる構成のアンテナ10は基板11の上に薄膜部12を印刷して形成される。予めパターン形成された薄膜部12を基板11へ張り付けてもよい。なお、大型のアンテナを構成する場合などにおいて、パターンを構成する導電性材料に充分な保形性能が確保できれば基板11を省略することもできる。また、基板11としてフレキシブルな材料を用いた場合、アンテナの特性を保持した状態でこれを変形させることができる。
このアンテナ10はパターンを縮小若しくは拡大することによりパターンの抵抗(ターミナル17−18間の抵抗)を変化させ、もって目的とする送受信電波の周波数に対応させることができる。例えば、テレビ放送を受信する場合にはパターン抵抗をほぼ75オームとし、通信用としてはパターン抵抗をほぼ50オームとする。
【0009】
このアンテナ10によれば、ターミナル17、18に高周波数の交流電圧が印加されたとき、例えば軸部13側のフラッグ素子15に正電荷が誘導され他方軸部14側のフラッグ素子16に負電荷が誘導される。その結果、軸部13、14間に電流がながれて電磁波が放射されると考えられる。
本発明者らの検討によれば、テレビ電波受信において、図1に示した従来例のアンテナでは受信画像が乱れてその画像を認識できない条件においてこの実施例のアンテナを用いた場合、テレビ画像が明確に見えるようになった。また、従来例と同様に広い指向性と広い対応周波数帯域を有することも確認できた。
【0010】
図3には他の実施例のアンテナ20を示す。この実施例のアンテナ20は基板21上に図示パターンの薄膜部22を形成したものである。
薄膜部22のパターンは、図2に示すパターン(アンテナユニット)11A、11Bを線対称に並べてその上端で連結し、下端にターミナル27、28を設けた構成である。図2と実質的に同一要素には同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。
このアンテナ20によれば、ターミナル27、28に高周波数の交流電圧が印加されたとき、例えばアンテナユニット11Aに正電荷が誘導され他方アンテナユニット11Bに負電荷が誘導される。その結果、両者の間に電流がながれ電磁波が放射されると考えられる。
本発明者らの検討によれば、テレビ電波受信において、図1に示した従来例のアンテナでは受信画像が乱れてその画像を認識できない条件においてこの実施例のアンテナを用いた場合、テレビ画像が明確に見えるようになった。また、従来例と同様に広い指向性と広い対応周波数帯域を有することも確認できた。

Japanese Patent No. 3323442 FIG.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present inventors have intensively studied to improve the antenna of the above type. As a result, it was found that the gain of the antenna changes by adjusting the number of flag elements and their shapes.
That is, the present invention intends to improve the gain in an antenna in which a pair of shaft portions and flag elements connected to the pair of shaft portions in line symmetry are arranged substantially on the same plane. is there.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the study by the present inventors, when the number of flag elements connected to one shaft portion is 6 to 12, the gain of the antenna is improved.
The shape of the flag element is preferably a rectangle having a first side parallel to the shaft portion and a second side perpendicular to the shaft portion. In particular, the length of the second side is preferably about three times the length of the first side from the viewpoint of gain improvement.
[0006]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples.
FIG. 2 shows the structure of the antenna 10 of the embodiment. The antenna 10 is formed by forming a conductive thin film portion 12 having a pattern shown on a flexible substrate 11 made of resin. This thin film part 12 functions as an antenna.
The pattern of the thin film portion 12 is configured as follows. A pair of shaft portions 13 and 14 disposed in the center of the figure are connected at their upper ends. Eight flag elements 15 and 16 are connected to the shaft portions 13 and 14, respectively. Reference numerals 17 and 18 in the figure denote terminals. This pattern has a line-symmetric shape with the center line of the shaft portions 13 and 14 as the center.
In addition, the upper ends of the shaft portions 13 and 14 (the end portion away from the terminal) and the upper ends of the flag elements 15 and 16 are flush with each other, or the shaft portions 13 and 14 protrude slightly from the flag elements 15 and 16. It is preferable to make it.
[0007]
Each of the flag elements 15 and 16 has a rectangular frame shape, and the horizontal sides (second sides) 15b and 16b perpendicular to the shaft portions 13 and 14 are approximately three times as long as the vertical sides (first sides) 15a and 16a. Have a length. Further, the lateral sides 15b and 16b are extended and connected to the shaft portions 13 and 14, respectively. By adopting such a configuration, the gains of the flag elements 15 and 16 are improved, and as a result, the gain of the entire antenna is improved.
In this embodiment, a rectangular frame-shaped flag element is adopted, but other shapes of flag elements can be adopted as long as the frame shape is closed.
[0008]
The antenna 10 having such a configuration is formed by printing a thin film portion 12 on a substrate 11. The thin film portion 12 patterned in advance may be attached to the substrate 11. In the case of configuring a large antenna, the substrate 11 can be omitted if a sufficient shape retention performance can be secured for the conductive material forming the pattern. Further, when a flexible material is used as the substrate 11, it can be deformed while maintaining the characteristics of the antenna.
The antenna 10 can change the resistance of the pattern (resistance between the terminals 17 and 18) by reducing or enlarging the pattern, so that it can correspond to the frequency of the intended transmission / reception radio wave. For example, when receiving a television broadcast, the pattern resistance is approximately 75 ohms, and for communication, the pattern resistance is approximately 50 ohms.
[0009]
According to the antenna 10, when a high frequency AC voltage is applied to the terminals 17 and 18, for example, a positive charge is induced in the flag element 15 on the shaft portion 13 side and a negative charge is applied to the flag element 16 on the other shaft portion 14 side. Is induced. As a result, it is considered that an electromagnetic wave is radiated due to a current flowing between the shaft portions 13 and 14.
According to the study by the present inventors, when the antenna of this embodiment is used under the condition that the received image is disturbed and the image cannot be recognized with the conventional antenna shown in FIG. It became clearer. Moreover, it has also confirmed that it has wide directivity and a wide corresponding | compatible frequency band similarly to a prior art example.
[0010]
FIG. 3 shows an antenna 20 of another embodiment. The antenna 20 of this embodiment is obtained by forming a thin film portion 22 having a pattern shown on a substrate 21.
The pattern of the thin film portion 22 has a configuration in which the patterns (antenna units) 11A and 11B shown in FIG. 2 are arranged in line symmetry and connected at the upper end, and terminals 27 and 28 are provided at the lower end. Elements that are substantially the same as those in FIG.
According to the antenna 20, when a high-frequency AC voltage is applied to the terminals 27 and 28, for example, a positive charge is induced in the antenna unit 11A and a negative charge is induced in the antenna unit 11B. As a result, it is considered that an electric current flows between the two and electromagnetic waves are radiated.
According to the study by the present inventors, when the antenna of this embodiment is used under the condition that the received image is disturbed and the image cannot be recognized by the conventional antenna shown in FIG. It became clearer. Moreover, it has also confirmed that it has wide directivity and a wide corresponding | compatible frequency band similarly to a prior art example.

The present invention is not limited to the description of the embodiments and examples of the invention described above. Various modifications may be included in the present invention as long as those skilled in the art can easily conceive without departing from the description of the scope of claims.
