Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a log periodic antenna system,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a log periodic antenna (LP antenna), and more particularly, to a cross-type logarithmic periodic antenna system including logarithmic periodic antennas formed in a cross type.

An antenna refers to a wire that is installed in the air to efficiently radiate radio waves into space to achieve the purpose of communication in wireless communication, or to efficiently emit electromotive force by radio waves. That is, the antenna is a device that sends or receives electromagnetic waves to / from the space for transmission and reception.

Therefore, the antenna converts the electric signal represented by the voltage / current and the electromagnetic wave represented by the electric field / magnetic field. Types of antennas include a dipole antenna, a monopole antenna, a patch antenna, a horn antenna, a parabolic antenna, a helical antenna, a slot antenna, and a logarithmic periodic antenna.

Here, the logarithmic periodic antenna is a wide band antenna in which the ratio of the ratio of the lengths of the adjacent antenna elements is constant and the frequency characteristics are almost constant within the frequency band of use.

 Therefore, logarithmic periodic antennas are widely used as antennas for TV reception or communication with broadband characteristics and reasonable gain. For example, the logarithmic periodic antennas are frequently used where a plurality of frequency bands are required for one usage purpose, such as digital broadcast signal reception and mobile communication base stations, due to their wideband characteristics. An algebraic periodic antenna is an antenna in which the impedance and radiation characteristics are repeated periodically and logarithmically with respect to other antennas. Since the characteristics of the algebraic periodic antenna are not greatly changed over the frequency band, they are regarded as frequency independent antennas. Development has been made. Thus, there is a need for an antenna capable of covering a wide band, a double or triple band, and the utilization of the logarithmic periodic antenna is further increased.

The logarithmic antenna may be a serrated antenna, a serrated antenna, a trapezoidal wire antenna, or a zigzag wire antenna, depending on the repeated structure. Among the various types of log periodic antennas, logarithmic periodic dipole antennas having generally flat or conductive dipoles are widely used.

These broadband algebraic dipole antennas are in the form of a serial feed of a series of dipole radiating elements, which are related to the logarithmic period ratio, the spacing constant, and the length of a single dipole antenna in a particular band (l / 2), which are design parameters.

This limits the reduction of the length of the dipole radiating element and the reduction of the overall size. In other words, if the ratio of the logarithmic period and the interval constant are increased for the purpose of increasing the gain, the gain can be increased. However, since the length of the antenna boom is increased and the number of radiating elements is increased, there is a problem.

Also, if the length of the logarithmic periodic antenna is long, the weight of the antenna can not be supported, and it may be bent or easily shaken due to external force.

Also, since the conventional log periodic antenna has a single polarization characteristic, there is a limitation that it can be used for a single polarization. For this reason, in order to transmit and receive the vertical polarized wave and the horizontal polarized wave by the logarithmic periodic antenna, it is necessary to separately install the logarithmic periodic antenna for vertical polarization and the logarithmic periodic antenna for horizontal polarization.

If two logarithmic periodic antennas for vertical polarization and two logarithmic periodic antennas for horizontal polarization are installed separately, double installation time and installation space are required.

The 2-2 dipole radiating elements 65 are integrally formed with the 2-2 supporting plate 63 and are staggered on both sides along the longitudinal direction of the 2-2 supporting plate 63, And is formed in parallel with the elements 55. [ The (2-2) supporting plate 63 has a shape gradually increasing in width from the lower side to the upper side in the longitudinal direction. That is, when the 2-1 dipole radiating element 55 is formed on one side of the 2-1 support plate 53 with reference to the 2-1 support plate 53 and the 2-2 support plate 63, The second -2 dipole radiating element 65 is formed on one side of the second -2 support plate 63 opposite to one side of the support plate 53 in parallel with the second -1 dipole radiating element 55.

In order to maintain the propagation characteristics of the first and second polarized waves while minimizing the size increase of the cross type logarithmic periodic antenna 20 according to the present embodiment, the first dipole radiating element 30 of the first log periodic antenna 30 35 and 45 and the second dipole radiating elements 55 and 65 of the second log periodic antenna 50 may be bent downwardly.

The first dipole radiating elements 35 and 45 of the first log periodic antenna 30 and the second dipole radiating elements 55 and 65 of the second log periodic antenna 50 are gradually increasing in length from the bottom to the top Respectively. Therefore, it is preferable that the first dipole radiating elements 35 and 45 and the second dipole radiating elements 55 and 65, which are positioned relatively downward, are formed to be bent downward. That is, since the lengths of the first and second dipole radiating elements 55 and 65 disposed on the lower side of the first and second log periodic antennas 50 are relatively long, the lengths of the first and second dipole radiating elements 50, It is possible to suppress the size of the overall cross type logarithmic periodic antenna 20, that is, the increase in size in the radial direction.

Of course, since it is preferable that the first and second dipole radiation snakes 35, 45, 55 and 65 are not bent as compared with the bending of the first dipole radiation snakes 35, 45, 55 and 65, And 45 and the second dipole radiating elements 55 and 65 of the second log periodic antenna 50 are formed to be shorter from the bottom to the top.

The first and second dipole radiation snakes (35, 45, 55, 65) located inside the cover (90 in FIG. 1) among the first and second dipole radiation snakes (35, 45, I never do that.

(63) can be fastened and fixed.

The arrangement of the first and second log periodic antennas 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. Here, FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the cross-type logarithmic periodic antenna 20 of FIG. And FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the upper part of the cross-type logarithmic periodic antenna 20 of FIG.

The first dipole radiating elements 35 and 45 of the first log periodic antenna 30 may be formed in a direction perpendicular to the second dipole radiating elements 55 and 65 of the second log periodic antenna 50. [ That is, the first polarized wave formed by the first log-periodic antenna 30 and the second polarized wave formed by the second logarithmic periodic antenna 50 can be 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees perpendicular to each other.

The first and second 1-2 support plates 33 and 43 of the first log periodic antenna 30 and the 2-1 and 2-2 support plates 53 and 63 of the second log periodic antenna 50, Since the first and second dipole radiating elements 35, 45, 55, and 65 in the form of plates are arranged in the longitudinal direction on both sides, When the first and second support plates 53 and 63 are implemented in a conventional plate shape, the weight of the logarithmic periodic antenna 20 can not be supported by the longer length, There is a fear that a problem of easily swinging may occur.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the 1-1 and 1-2 support plates 33 and 43 and the 2-1 support plate 53 and the 2-2 support plate 63 are arranged in alphabet letters " Quot; V "-shaped, and the bent portions may be arranged to face each other to form a cross shape.

In order to stably support the first and second log periodic antennas 30 and 50 extending upwardly with respect to the mounting plate 10, the first and second log periodic antennas 30 and 50 A plurality of spacers 80 having an insulating property can be interposed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the first and second log periodic antennas 30 and 50. That is, the spacer 80 may be interposed between the 1-1 support plate 33 and the 1-2 support plate 43, the 1-1 support plate 33, and the 1-2 support plate 43. The spacers 80 may be interposed between the first 1-1 support plate 33 and the 1-2 first support plate 43 adjacent to each other and between the 1-1 support plate 33 and the 1-2 support plate 43 The cross section can have a cross shape.

The first log periodic antenna 30 and the second log periodic antenna 50 are disposed at the lower side of the first log periodic antenna 50 in order to solve the problem that the weight of the log periodic antenna can not be supported by the log periodic antenna, The width of each of the electrodes may be reduced toward the upper side. 5, the 1-1 support plate 33 and the 1-2 support plate 43 located on the upper side of the log type periodic antenna 20 of the cross type, the 1-1 support plate 33, The interval between the first and second support plates 43 and 43 is larger than the interval between the first support plate 33 and the 1-2 support plate 43 located below the cross type logarithmic periodic antenna 20, And the interval between the 1-1 support plate 33 and the 1-2 support plate 43 is narrow. In addition, the 1-1 support plate 33, the 1-2 support plate 43, the 2-1 support plate 53, and the 2-2 support plate 63 are arranged such that the width gradually increases from the lower side to the upper side in the longitudinal direction .

Thus, in the logarithmic periodic antenna system 100 according to the present embodiment, since the logarithmic periodic antennas 20 emitting the first and second polarized waves are arranged in a cross, It is possible to cope with the increase in the bandwidth while suppressing the increase in the size in the radial direction.

Also, the logarithmic periodic antenna system 100 according to the present embodiment can selectively transmit or receive the first and second polarized waves through the logarithmic periodic antenna 20 arranged in a cross.

In addition, since the logarithmic periodic antenna 20 has a shape in which the relatively long dipole radiating elements 35, 35, 55, and 65 are bent downward at the ends, the tubular logarithmic periodic antenna system 100 The increase in size in the radial direction can be suppressed.

In addition, the logarithmic periodic antenna 20 forming a specific polarized wave has a plate shape in which the dipole radiating elements 35, 45, 55, and 65 are separated from each other, and both ends close to each other are bent, Even if the length of the logarithmic periodic antenna 20 is long, it can not support the weight of the logarithmic periodic antenna 20 and can be easily swung due to external force. The problem can be solved.

Further, the logarithmic periodic antenna system 100 according to the present embodiment has a structure in which the width between the dipole radiating elements 35, 45, 55, and 65 is reduced as it goes from the lower part to the upper part, and the dipole radiating elements 35, 45, Even if the length of the logarithmic periodic antenna 20 is long, it is difficult to support the weight of the logarithmic periodic antenna 20 and to be easily shaken due to an external force or the like because of the structure in which the cross- The problem can be solved.

Also, since the logarithmic periodic antenna 20 forming a specific polarized wave has a plate shape in which the dipole radiating elements 35, 45, 55, and 65 are separated on both sides, the plurality of dipole radiating elements 35, And 65 can be collectively formed, so that there is an advantage that the manufacturing process of the logarithmic periodic antenna 20 can be simplified.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, since the cover 90 has a structure in which a plurality of caps 91 are coupled to the upper portion of the cover 90, the beam directivity can be improved and the gain can be increased. At this time, improvement of the beam directivity and gain by the plurality of caps 91 can be confirmed from the radiation patterns of FIGS. 8 to 19 and the gain values of FIGS. 20 and 21. FIG.

20 is a table summarizing the gain values of the low bands of Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3. Fig. And FIG. 21 is a table summarizing the gain values of the high bands of the first, second, and third embodiments. In Figs. 20 and 21A, A, B, and C show Embodiment 1, Example 2, and Example 3, respectively.

In the logarithmic periodic antenna system according to the third embodiment, three caps are used, and the length of the cover is 1070 mm. The logarithmic periodic antenna system according to the first embodiment uses the same logarithmic periodic antenna as the third embodiment, but has no cover. The logarithmic periodic antenna system according to the second embodiment uses the same logarithmic periodic antenna as that of the third exemplary embodiment, but covers the logarithmic periodic antenna using only a cover without adding a cap. The logarithmic periodic antennas of Examples 1, 2, and 3 emit dual polarizations of 45 degrees. ㅁ Radiation pattern of 45-degree roband and high-band was measured.

Referring to FIGS. 8 to 19, it can be seen that the use of the logarithmic periodic antenna according to the present embodiment shows good polarization characteristics and beam directivity of 45 degrees at the low band and the high band.

Referring to FIG. 20, the gain values of the third embodiment and the second embodiment in the low band are not significantly different from each other. However, by comparing Example 3 with Example 1, it is confirmed that the gain of 0.6 to 0.81 dBi is improved in the low band.

Referring to FIG. 21, it can be seen that the gain of 0.26 to 0.68 dBi is improved when the third embodiment and the second embodiment in the high band are compared. In addition, it can be confirmed that the gain of 1.22 to 2.86 dBi is improved in the high band by comparing the third embodiment with the first embodiment.

As described above, since the cover has a structure in which multiple caps are coupled to the cover body as in the third embodiment, the beam directivity can be improved and the gain can be increased.

It should be noted that the embodiments disclosed in the present specification and drawings are only illustrative of specific examples for the purpose of understanding, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other modifications based on the technical idea of the present invention are possible in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein.
