Description of the invention: [Technical field of invention] 3 The present invention relates to a dielectric load antenna of an electrical insulation core operating at a frequency exceeding 200 MHz and having a solid material, and relating to the inclusion of a dielectric Radio communication device for the load antenna. [Prior Art 3] A dielectric load antenna operating at a UHF frequency, particularly a compact antenna such as a mobile phone of a mobile phone, a satellite telephone, a handheld positioning unit, and a mobile positioning unit. The present invention is applicable to these and other fields, such as WiFi, i.e., unlimited area networks, devices, Mim, i.e., multiple input/multiple output systems, and other receiving and transmitting wireless systems. Typically, the antenna comprises a cylindrical ceramic core having a relative dielectric constant of at least 5, the outer surface of the core being supported as one of the antenna elements in the form of a spiral conductive track. In the case of a so-called "backfire," antenna, a shaft feed is enclosed in a hole that extends between the proximal end of the core and the lateral outer surface of the load in the core. Coupling to a spiral track via a conductive surface connection element on the distal lateral surface portion of the core. Such an antenna is disclosed in the British Patent Application No. GB2292638, GB 2309992, GB2399948, GB2441566, GB2445478 'International Application No. WO2006/ 136809 and U.S. Published Application No. US2008-0174512A1, each of which discloses an antenna having an impedance matching network including a printed circuit laminate, a feeder fixed to one of the distal outer surface portions of the core The network forming portion of the coupling between the spiral elements. In each case, the feed is a 201145673 coaxial transmission line whose outer mask conductor has a connection tab extending through the laminated plate parallel to the axis, the interior The conductors extend similarly through a respective via. The antenna is assembled by the following steps: first, the coaxial feed The end portion is inserted into the via hole in the laminated plate to form a unified feeder structure, and the channel towel in which the feeder attached to the laminated board is inserted into the core from the distal end of the channel causes the feeder to appear in the approaching end of the channel The layer of manhole is adjacent to the far outer surface portion of the core. Next, a soldering pad or ferrule is placed between the proximal portion of the feeder between the outer conductor of the feeder and the conductor-coated layer on the outer surface portion of the core Forming a ring bridge. The assembly is then transmitted through a coke oven on the near and far sides of the laminate, and the solder on the gasket or ferrule is melted to form a connection to the (4) feed in the west network. Between (8) the matching network and the surface connecting elements on the far outer surface portion of the core, (4) the conductor layer on the far outer surface portion of the feed and the core. The assembly and fixing of the core 'infeed structure is thus The three less processes are inserted into the ring or ferrule, and heated. The purpose of this invention is to provide an antenna that is easier to assemble. [Contents] According to the first month of the month, the hair Provided is a backfire dielectric load antenna for operation at frequencies exceeding 200 MHz, the antenna comprising: a solid material - an electrically insulating dielectric core having a relative dielectric constant greater than 5 and having An outer surface comprising a side surface portion extending transversely to the -axis of the antenna and facing the surface portion and extending between the laterally extending surface portions, the core outer surface boundary 'The main part of the internal volume is the core 4 201145673 occupied by the solid material; a three-dimensional antenna element structure comprising at least one pair of elongated conductive antenna elements disposed on or adjacent to the side surface portion of the core The distal core surface portion extends toward the proximal core surface portion; a feed structure in the form of an axially extending elongated laminate comprising at least one transmission line segment acting as a feed line extending from the distal core surface portion One channel in the core to the portion close to the core surface, and one of the forms of the transmission line segment that completely forms a form close to the extension portion In the junction, the width of the antenna connection segment in the plane of the laminate is greater than the width of the channel, and an impedance matching segment for coupling the antenna elements to the feed line. The use of an axially extending elongated laminate as a feed structure has the advantage of being relatively less rigid than an axial feed having a rigid metallic outer conductor. The increased width of the proximal extension of the transmission line segment provides additional areas for a variety of different connection elements, as will be described below. In particular, specialized miniature connector assemblies can be assigned if desired. The preferred laminate has at least first, second and third electrically conductive layers, the second layer being an intermediate layer between the first and third layers. In this way, it is possible to construct a feeder such that it has an elongated inner conductor formed by the second layer and a shield conductor formed by the first and third layers, respectively, and the outer mask conductors are respectively disposed thereon and The inner conductors underneath overlap. The mask conductors may in turn be interconnected by interconnects positioned along lines parallel to the inner conductors on opposite sides thereof, preferably by the series between the first and third layers Conductive via holes are formed. This has the effect of enclosing the inner conductor, whereby the transmission line has the characteristics of a coaxial line. In some embodiments of the invention, the axially extending laminate carries the "active circuit component" on the "putter". Thus, an RF front end circuit, such as one of the low noise amplifiers, can be mounted to the laminate, for example, using a surface mount wheel-in conductor coupled to the components of the feed conductor. Alternatively, the board can carry an RF power amplifier when the antenna is used for transmission or can carry a power amplifier and a switch when used in a transceiver. It is also possible to include further active circuit components, such as a GPS receiver chip or other rF receiver chip (even to the extent of having a low frequency (eg, less than 30 MHz) or digitally rotated circuit), or a transceiver Wafer. Particularly in this embodiment, the laminate may have an additional conductive layer. This allows the antenna to be connected to the host device without the need to use a specialized connector capable of handling radio frequency signals. In this case, the size limitation imposed by the RF connection is avoided. The laminate can be used in this manner as a single carrier that forms part of an antenna assembly, provided as a complete unit, such as an active circuit component or any of the components described above, a matching component, and the like. However, in an embodiment of the invention, an impedance matching section is carried on a second laminate whose conductor is coupled to the feed line β. In this embodiment, the second laminate is oriented perpendicular to the axially extending laminate and There is a hole therein to receive the distal end portion of the axially extending laminate. The impedance matching section preferably includes at least one reaction matching element in the form of a shunt capacitor connected between the inner conductor and the shroud conductor of the feed line at its distal end. The series inductance can be coupled between the conductors of the feed line and at least the elongated antenna elements. The capacitor is preferably a discrete surface ammon capacitor, and the inductor is formed as a conductive track between the capacitor and each of the pair of elongated antennas. A preferred antenna may be used as a dual service antenna. Thus, in the case of a four-arm helical antenna according to the invention of 201145673, the antenna typically has not only an antenna radiation pattern/four-arm resonance for circularly polarized radiation, but also a linearly polarized signal. Quasi-monopolar resonance. Four-arm resonance produces a heart-shaped radiation pattern centered on the antenna axis' and is thus suitable for transmitting or receiving satellite signals, while quasi-monopole resonance produces a circular radiant pattern about the axis of the antenna and is thus suitable for transmission and reception. Terrestrial linearly polarized signal. A preferred antenna having these characteristics has a four-arm resonance in the first frequency band associated with a GNSS 彳§ number (eg, 1 575 MHz, GPS-L1 frequency) and a 2.45 GHz ISM used in Bluetooth and WiFi systems (industrial Scientific Medical) A quasi-unipolar resonance in the frequency band. In the case of a long-depletion dual service operation, the impedance matching section may be a two-pole matching section, including two inductances and first and second shunts between a first conductor or a feeder and a plurality of antennas in each pair of conductive antenna elements. The series connection of capacitors. The first shunt capacitor is connected as described above, that is, between the first and first conductors of the feed line. The second shunt capacitor is connected to the second conductor of the feeder, the "other elongated conductive antenna element or the - between the plurality of elements and the junction between the second and the second inductance. For the double service operation of the elongated laminated body of the feeder to form the antenna, the outer cover is guided, and the feeder = resonance_rate guide f circuit is a loop. The wide conductor of the special conductor: Other than the mask is essentially unique: if necessary, the 'quasi-cluster resonance frequency can be selected for the parameters of the recording frequency. Indeed, the day, the towel is provided with different width (four) mask conductor 201145673 Extending the laminate, the process comprising the step of selecting one of the mask conductors having a particular width for each antenna, depending on the intended use of the antenna. The same selection step can be used to reduce the number of ceramic materials made from different batches. Resonant frequency changes caused by changes in the relative dielectric constant between different batches of antenna cores. Preferably, the elongated laminates are placed symmetrically within the channel through the antenna core. Thus, in the case of a channel of circular cross-section, it is preferred that the laminate is positioned diametrically. This assists in symmetrical representation of the shield conductor in the quasi-monopole resonance mode. It should be noted that the preferred antenna core The channels are not plated. It is also preferred that the inner conductors of the transmission line segments are centrally positioned between the mask conductors to avoid asymmetric field concentration in the feed lines. The lateral symmetry of the laminates with their upper conductor regions is also Preferably (ie, symmetric in the plane of the conductive layer of the laminate). According to a second aspect of the invention, a backfire dielectric load antenna for operation at frequencies exceeding 200 MHz comprises an electrically insulating dielectric of a solid material a core having a relative dielectric constant greater than 5 and having an outer surface, the outer surface including a relatively distal and proximal surface portion extending transversely to an axis of the antenna and extending between the laterally extending surface portions a side surface portion, the core outer surface defining an interior volume, the major portion of the interior volume being occupied by the solid material of the core; a three-dimensional antenna element a structure comprising at least one pair of elongated conductive antenna elements disposed on or adjacent to the side surface portion of the core and extending from the distal core surface portion toward the proximal core surface portion; and an axially extending laminate Encapsulated in a channel extending from the far core surface portion through the core to 201145673, the near core surface portion, the laminate having first, second and third conductive layers, the second layer being sandwiched by the first Between the third layer and including a transmission line segment serving as a feed line, and coupling the feed line to a complete distal impedance matching section of the antenna elements; wherein the second layer forms an extension of the feed line And the first and third layers form elongated mask conductors that are wider than the inner conductor and are interconnected along their extended edge portions. Preferably, the antenna includes a trap element that conducts A trap element links the proximal end of at least some of the elongated conductive elements and is coupled to the feed line in the region of the near surface portion of the core. In a quasi-monopolar resonance mode, current flows in a second electrically conductive loop, the second electrically conductive loop being comprised of at least one of the elongate antenna elements between the conductors of the feed line, the trap component And an outer surface or a plurality of outer surfaces of the mask conductor of the feed line. The unipolar resonance mode is a fundamental resonance, in which case a resonance frequency is higher than the frequency of the four-arm resonance mode.

上導電區域18U及第二層疊板30之下側上的導電層(圖未繪 示)的導體。 在組裝天線中,層疊板14的接近延伸部分毗鄰核心的 電鍍接近端表面部分12P,及在天線組裝期間,第一與第三 暴路接觸區域16V、16W(參見第妞圖)電氣連接至電鍍表面 部分12P。 上述組件及它們的互連產生一介電負載四臂螺旋天 21 201145673 線,其電氣類似於在上述先前專利公開案中揭露的四臂天 線。因而,核心12的接近端表面部分12P上的導電套筒2〇 及電鍍層(圖未繪示)以及由遮罩導體161;、16L形成的饋電 線遮罩形成一四分之一波貝愣電路(balun),貝愣電路提供 天線元件結構10A-10D與安裝時連接天線之設備的共模隔 離。由天線元件10A-10D形成的金屬導體元件及核心上的其 他金屬層界定一前面容量’其主要部分由核心的介電材料 佔據。 天線具有一圓形極化共振模式,在此情況下在 1575MHz、GPS L1頻率。 在此圓形極化共振模式中,四分之一波貝愣電路充當 一陷波器’阻止電流自天線元件10A-10D流動至在核心的接 近端表面部分12P的遮罩導體16U、16L使得天線元件、套 筒20的凸緣20U、及輻射狀轨道i〇ar-1〇DR形成界定共振頻 率的導電迴路。因此’在圓形極化共振模式中,電流自饋 電線導體中的一者經由例如套筒20的凸緣20U周圍的一第 一螺旋天線元件10 A流回至其他饋電線導體,流至對立設置 的螺旋天線元件10C,並回到後一元件i〇c。 天線亦展現一線性極化共振模式。在此模式中,電流 在互連饋電線導體的不同導電迴路中流動。更特定地,在 此情況中,有四導電迴路,每一導電迴路按順序包含輻射 狀軌道10AR-10DR中的一者、相關聯螺旋天線元件 10A-10D、套筒20(以與軸13平行的一方向)、接近端表面部 分12P及由遮罩導體16U、16L及它們的互連導通孔π形成 22 201145673 之饋電線遮罩的外表面上的電鐘。(將指出的是,在由傳輸 線段14A形成之饋電線中流動的電流在由遮罩導體16U、 16L形成之遮罩的内部流動)。饋電線的長度及,因而,遮 罩導體的長度、它們的寬度、及它們與核心12的陶曼材料 的接近程度決定此線性極化共振的頻率。 由於核心12之陶器材料旁的遮罩導體16U、16L的相對 輕微介電負載’在此情況中之導電迴路的電氣長度小於圓 形極化共振模式中有效之導電迴路的平均電氣長度。因 此,與圓形極化共振模式相比,線性極化共振模式以一較 局頻率為中心。線性極化共振模式具有一相關聯的輻射圖 樣’該輻射圖樣是環形的’亦即以天線之軸13為中心。因 而,在天線以其軸13大體上垂直而朝向時,特別適合於接 收陸地上垂直極化信號。 藉由改變遮罩導體軌道16U、16L的寬度,可大體上獨 立於圓形極化模式的共振頻率而實現對線性極化模式之共 振頻率的調整。在此範例中,線性極化模式的共振頻率為 2.45GHz(亦即,在ISM頻帶中)。 當需要雙重頻率操作時,較佳的是,匹配網路是一雙 極網路’如在第1D圖中所示。 建構作為—伸長層疊板㈣電器結構提供天線至主機設備 的一特別經濟連接。參考第2圖’在天線!連接至一設備電 路板4〇上的電路元件之情況中,藉由依據伸長天線層疊板 14(第1B圖)之天線連接段14C上的接觸區域π、、的間 隔而導電地麟絲金賴簣_42鄰近於料板的邊緣 23 201145673 40E且相隔開可實現天線饋電線與電路板40之間的一直接 電氣連接,電路板40以其平面平行於天線軸而定向。當天 線安裝於電路板40的一要求位置時,依據天線之天線連接 段14C的位置來確定彈簧觸體42的位置。 每一彈簣觸體包含一金屬葉彈簧,該金屬葉彈簧具有 一折叠組態,其中一固定腳42L被固定至電路板40上的一各 別導體(圖未繪示)及一接觸腳42U在固定腳42L上延伸但與 之隔開,使得當垂直於板40的平面對接觸腳42U施加一力 時,其接近固定腳42L。因而’將理解的是,當如所繪示天 線與電路板40並置,其中接觸區域16V、18W、16W(第1B 圖)與彈簧觸體42配準時,彈簧觸體受彈性變形且頂住它們 各自的接觸區域16V、18W、16W以在天線1與電路板40的 電路元件之間建立一電氣連接。 將指出的是,天線與電路板4〇的電路之間沒有單獨的 連接裝置。每一彈簧觸體42以與其他表面安裝組件相同 的方式個別且單獨地應用於電路板4〇。 此組態導致一簡單設備纽裝過程,如在第3A至3F圖中 所π。參考第3八至糊,一典型的組裝過程包含,首先將 電路板40放置於一第一設備封裝部分5〇a中(第3八及犯

彈簧觸體42變形(第3E圖)。兩封裝部分50A、50B具有吸附 特徵使得最終封閉運動與兩封裝部分的吸附在一起相關 聯。 在第3F圖的截面中繪示天線1在兩封裝部分5〇a、5〇B 的支撐及位置。容積52及若需要的話封裝覆蓋部分5〇B中的 一相對朝向容積,被形狀設計成使天線不僅橫向於天線軸 而且沿軸方向來設置位置。亦將指出的是,除了提供一簡 單且不昂貴組裝過程之外,天線與電路板之間的互連的組 態允許天線與板40之間的軸向運動而不中斷彈簧觸體42所 作的連接。這具有的優點是,設備經受嚴重衝擊(例如,在 手持無線通訊單元掉下的情況中),天線丨與電路板4〇之 間缺少一剛性連接避免了焊接接縫上的拉力,此類焊接接 縫例如天線的伸長層疊板14與支撐匹配網路之天線的第二 層疊板30之間,及橫向安裝的層疊板3〇及天線核心之遠端 表面部分12D上的電鍍導體之間的焊接接縫。 現在參考第4A及4B圖’依據發明的一第二天線具有安 裝於伸長層疊板14之接近伸出天線連接段14C上的彈簣觸 體42。如在上面參考第2圖所述的系統中,彈簧觸體是金屬 葉彈簧,每一金屬葉彈簣具有一固定腳與一接觸腳。在此 情況中,固定腳個別且單獨地焊接至天線連接段14C的各別 接觸區域16V、18W、16W。設備電路板(圖未繪示)提供有 相對應的隔開接觸區域使得在天線丨相對於電路板壓入其 所要求的位置時,彈簧觸體42被壓縮。此組態產生與上面 25 201145673 針對第2圖的單元概述之組態相同的優點。 參考第5A及5B圖,饋電線的層疊板結構亦提供對完整 支撐諸如一RF前端低雜訊放大器60之一主動電路元件的可 月b性。在此情況中,層疊板14具有一較大接近延伸部分 14C,傳輸線段14A的饋電線導體(圖未繪示)直接連接至低 雜訊放大器60的輸入。放大器的輸出可直接輕合至暴露接 觸區域62,如在第5A及5B圖中所繪示,以使用如上參考第 2圖所述的彈簧觸體連接至一設備電路板。天線核心12之洞 12B(參見第5B圖)内的層疊板14的位置藉由層疊板14之相 對面上的彈蒉偏置元件來輔助。它們頂住洞12B的壁以助於 使板14以軸13為中心。在此情況中,饋電線的饋電線導體 至接近端表面部分12P(圖未繪示)上的輻射狀軌道之直接連 接可透過平面導電耳狀物或接觸板66來完成,平面導電耳

6Α及6Β圖中所示的一分立連接器7〇、一靈活印刷電路層疊 板抑或上面參考第2圖所述的彈簧接觸配置而作出之優 點。此外’使此電路的所有部分在層疊板14的一共用相鄰 接地平面上減小了共模雜訊自設備電路板上的雜訊發射電 26 201145673 路耦合至層疊板14上的電路之機會。 作為上面參考第5B圖描述 '為用以將饋電線導體連接 至核心之遠端表面12P上的輻射狀執道的一手段之導電耳

遮罩導體16U、16L之間延伸的是兩列電鍍導通孔17,它們 結合遮罩導體16U、16L形成一遮罩包圍内導體18。傳輸線 段14A的接近延伸部分14C具有連接至饋電線導體的接觸 區域16V、18W、16W,如上參考第1B圖所述。 在此範例中,放大遠延伸部分14B構成一匹配段,其替 代上面參考第1A及1B圖所述之第一天線的第二層疊板 3〇 °匹配段具有一分流電容,其由一分立表面安裝電容器

method of the radio communication device according to the item 66/工-XZ 任任, the device is provided in a two-part package for the antenna and the device circuit board, and the package has a shape of a valley product and is designed as a receiving antenna. And positioning it in the pre-selected position of the circuit board to find the pre-position position of the towel f« and the antenna_'! contact area configuration and against the respective contact area, wherein the method comprises fixing the circuit board in the package The antenna is placed in the volume, and in a set of white conditions, the two parts of the package are provided together, and the two parts are provided together, so that the spring _ is placed against the respective receiving areas on the antenna, thereby compressively making the spring The body is deformed.

C Embodiment 3 Referring to Figures 1A and 1B, an antenna according to a first aspect of the invention has an antenna element structure having an electric clock or metallized on a cylindrical outer surface of a cylindrical ceramic core 12. The four axially coextensive spiral tracks 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D. The relative dielectric of the core ceramic material is often 17 201145673 and the number is usually greater than 2G. Materials having a relative dielectric constant (9) based on 钡Penchin acid are particularly suitable. The core 12 has an axial passage in the form of a hole 12b extending from a distal end surface portion 12D through the core to a proximal end surface portion 12?β. The surfaces of the two surfaces are transverse and perpendicular to the axis center 13 of the core. . They are relatively oriented with one surface portion facing far and the other facing near. Encapsulated in the hole 12 is an electrical feeder structure in the form of an elongated layer 4 plate 14. The elongated laminated plate 14 has a transmission line segment 14A, a matching network connection portion 14A and an antenna connection portion 14C, and the antenna connection portion 14C is The transmission line segments are each formed in a form that is integrally formed as far as the extension portion. The laminate 14 has three conductive layers, and only one of the three conductive layers appears in Figure 1B. This first conductive layer is exposed on an upper surface of the board 14U. A third conductive layer is similarly exposed on the lower surface of the laminated board 14L, and a second, intermediate conductive layer is implanted in the insulating material of the laminated board 14 between the first and third conductive layers. In the transmission line segment 14A of the laminated board 14, the second, intermediate conductive layer is in the form of a narrow elongated track extending centrally along the transmission line segment 14A to form an inner feed conductor (not shown). Overlying and underlying the inner conductor are wider elongated conductor tracks formed by the first and third conductive layers, respectively. These wider tracks constitute the upper and lower mask conductors 16U, 16L of the inner conductor of the mask. The mask conductors 16U, 16L are interconnected through the plated vias 17, which are disposed on opposite sides of the line parallel to the front of the inner conductor. The via is spaced from the longitudinal edge of the inner conductor so that the insulating material that passes through the laminate 14 is spaced from the longitudinal edge of the inner conductor. It will be understood that the combination of the elongated tracks formed by the 18 201145673 three conductive layers in the transmission line segment 14A and the interconnect vias 17 form a coaxial feed line having an inner conductor and an outer mask body, the outer mask body It is composed of upper and lower conductive tracks 16U and 16L and via holes. Typically, this coaxial feed line has a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. A conductor (not shown) in the distal extension portion 14B' of the laminate 14 is coupled to an exposed upper conductor 18U through an inner conductor distal via 18V. Similarly, on the lower surface of the distal extending portion 14B, there is an exposed connecting conductor 18L (not shown in Fig. 1B) which is an extension of the lower mask conductor 16L. In the proximal extending portion 14C of the laminated board 14, an inner conductor (not shown) is connected to an exposed central contact region 18W of the upper surface 14U of the laminated board 14, and the contact region 18W is connected to the inner conductor through a proximity via 18X. . On the same upper laminated layer 14U, there are two external exposed contact regions 16V, 16w which are arranged on opposite sides of the central contact region 18W. In summary, the three side-by-side contact areas constitute a set of contact bodies for connecting the assembled antenna to, for example, a spring contact body on a device motherboard which will be described later. It will be noted that the antenna connecting section 14c of the laminated board 14 is rectangular in shape, and the width of the rectangular shape is larger than the width of the side-by-side transmission line section 14A such that the laminated board 14 is inserted into the core 12 of the antenna cassette from the proximal end during assembly, the antenna The connecting section 14C is adjacent to the near end surface portion 12P of the antenna core 12 such that the antenna connecting section is closely exposed. The length of the laminated board 14 is such that the matching network connecting section 14B has its distal end projecting a short distance from the hole 12B when the antenna connecting section is adjacent to the end surface portion 12P. The width of the transmission line segment generally corresponds to the diameter of the hole 12B (the cross section of the hole is circular) such that the outer mask conductors 16U, 16L are separated from the ceramic material of the core 12 by 201145673. (Note that 'hole 12B is not plated.) Therefore, through the ceramic material of core 12, mask conductors 16U, 16L have minimal dielectric loading. In this embodiment, the insulating material of the laminated board has a relative dielectric constant of about 4.5. The angular position of the laminate 14 is assisted by the longitudinal grooves in the hole 12B as shown in Figure 1B. Electroplated on the near end surface portion 12P of the core is a surface connecting member formed as a radial track 10AR, 10BR, l〇CR, 10DR. Each of the surface attachment elements extends from a distal end of each of the spiral tracks 10A-10D to a position adjacent the end of the adjacent hole 12B. It will be seen that the radial tracks 10AR-10DR are interconnected by curved conductive links such that the four spiral tracks 10A-10D are interconnected in pairs at their distal ends. The proximal ends of the antenna elements 10A-10D are coupled to a common virtual ground conductor in the form of an electroplated sleeve 20 that surrounds a proximal end portion of the core 12. The sleeve 20 extends to a conductive coating (not shown) adjacent the end surface portion 12P of the core. The distal surface portion 12D of the overlying core 12 is in the form of a second laminate 30' which is approximately one of the positions disposed relative to the center of the shaft 13. The lateral content of the second laminate 30 is such that it overlies the inner ends of the radial tracks 10AR, 10BR, 10CR, 10DR and their respective arcuate interconnects. The second laminate 30 has a single conductive layer on its lower side, i.e., on the face of the distal end surface portion 12D of the core. This conductive layer provides a feed connection and an antenna element connection for coupling the conductive layers 16U, 16L, 18 of the transmission line segment 14A to the antenna elements 10A-10D via the conductive surface connection elements 10AR-10DR on the core surface portion 12D. The laminated board conductive layer combined with a surface mount capacitor (not shown) on the lower side of the 201145673 side also constitutes an impedance matching network for matching the impedance exhibited by the antenna element structure to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line section 14A (50 ohm ). The circuit diagram of the impedance matching network is shown in Figure 1C. As shown in FIG. 1C, the impedance matching network has a shunt capacitor C connected through the conductors 16, 18 of the feed line, and radiation of one of the feeder conductors 18 and the antenna represented by the load or source 36. A series inductance between the elements 10A-10D is directly connected to the other conductors 16 of the feeders on the other side of the load/source 36. At this level, the interconnection of the feeder to the antenna element 1〇Α_1〇Β is the same as that disclosed in WO2006/136809, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The connection between the second laminate 3's and the conductors on the end surface portion 12D of the core is made through a ball grid array 32, as described in our co-pending U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 0914440.3, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. It is also incorporated herein by reference. The second laminate 30 has a central groove 34 that receives the extended matching network connection portion 14B of the elongated laminate 14. As shown in Figure 1a, a conductive connection is made between the conductive regions, and the conductive region includes A conductor of a conductive layer (not shown) on the upper conductive region 18U and the lower side of the second laminate 30 on the laminate 14. In the assembled antenna, the nearly extended portion of the laminated board 14 is adjacent to the plating near end surface portion 12P of the core, and during the assembly of the antenna, the first and third storm contact areas 16V, 16W (see the figure) are electrically connected to the plating Surface portion 12P. The above components and their interconnections produce a dielectric load four-arm spiral 21 201145673 line that is electrically similar to the four-arm antenna disclosed in the above prior patent publication. Thus, the conductive sleeve 2 〇 on the near end surface portion 12P of the core 12 and the plating layer (not shown) and the feed line mask formed by the mask conductors 161;, 16L form a quarter-wave shell. The balun circuit provides common mode isolation of the antenna element structures 10A-10D from the devices that are connected to the antenna when installed. The metal conductor elements formed by the antenna elements 10A-10D and the other metal layers on the core define a front capacity 'the major portion of which is occupied by the core dielectric material. The antenna has a circular polarization resonance mode, in this case at 1575 MHz, GPS L1 frequency. In this circularly polarized resonance mode, the quarter-wave Bellows circuit acts as a trap to prevent current from flowing from the antenna elements 10A-10D to the mask conductors 16U, 16L at the near end surface portion 12P of the core such that The antenna element, the flange 20U of the sleeve 20, and the radial track i〇ar-1〇DR form a conductive loop that defines the resonant frequency. Thus, in the circular polarization resonance mode, one of the current self-feed wire conductors flows back to the other feeder conductors via a first helical antenna element 10 A around the flange 20U of the sleeve 20, for example, to the opposite direction. The helical antenna element 10C is placed and returned to the latter element i〇c. The antenna also exhibits a linear polarization resonance mode. In this mode, current flows in different conductive loops that interconnect the feeder conductors. More specifically, in this case there are four conductive loops, each of which in turn comprises one of the radial tracks 10AR-10DR, the associated helical antenna elements 10A-10D, the sleeve 20 (in parallel with the axis 13) One direction), the near end surface portion 12P and the electric clock on the outer surface of the feeder mask formed by the mask conductors 16U, 16L and their interconnecting vias π 22 201145673. (It will be noted that the current flowing in the feeder formed by the transmission line segment 14A flows inside the mask formed by the shield conductors 16U, 16L). The length of the feed lines and, therefore, the length of the shield conductors, their width, and their proximity to the Tauman material of the core 12 determine the frequency of this linear polarization resonance. Due to the relatively slight dielectric load of the mask conductors 16U, 16L adjacent to the core material of the core 12, the electrical length of the conductive loop in this case is less than the average electrical length of the conductive loop effective in the circular polarization mode of resonance. Therefore, the linear polarization resonance mode is centered on a local frequency compared to the circular polarization resonance mode. The linearly polarized resonant mode has an associated radiation pattern 'the radiation pattern is annular', i.e., centered on the axis 13 of the antenna. Therefore, the antenna is particularly suitable for receiving vertically polarized signals on land when the antenna is oriented substantially perpendicular to its axis 13. By varying the width of the mask conductor tracks 16U, 16L, the adjustment of the resonant frequency of the linear polarization mode can be achieved substantially independently of the resonant frequency of the circular polarization mode. In this example, the linear polarization mode has a resonant frequency of 2.45 GHz (i.e., in the ISM band). When dual frequency operation is required, it is preferred that the matching network be a bipolar network' as shown in Fig. 1D. Constructed as an elongate laminated board (4) electrical structure provides a special economical connection to the host device. Refer to Figure 2' at the antenna! In the case of connecting to a circuit component on a device board 4, it is electrically conductive by the spacing of the contact area π, on the antenna connection section 14C of the elongated antenna laminated board 14 (Fig. 1B). The 篑_42 is adjacent to the edge 23 201145673 40E of the slab and spaced apart to enable a direct electrical connection between the antenna feed line and the circuit board 40, the circuit board 40 being oriented with its plane parallel to the antenna axis. When the line is mounted at a desired position on the circuit board 40, the position of the spring contact body 42 is determined in accordance with the position of the antenna connection portion 14C of the antenna. Each of the magazine contacts includes a metal leaf spring having a folded configuration, wherein a fixed leg 42L is fixed to a respective conductor (not shown) on the circuit board 40 and a contact leg 42U It extends over but is spaced apart from the fixed leg 42L such that when a force is applied to the contact foot 42U perpendicular to the plane of the plate 40, it approaches the fixed leg 42L. Thus, it will be understood that when the antenna is juxtaposed with the circuit board 40 as shown, wherein the contact regions 16V, 18W, 16W (Fig. 1B) are in registration with the spring contacts 42, the spring contacts are elastically deformed and bear against them. The respective contact areas 16V, 18W, 16W establish an electrical connection between the antenna 1 and the circuit elements of the circuit board 40. It will be noted that there is no separate connection between the antenna and the circuit of the circuit board. Each spring contact 42 is individually and individually applied to the circuit board 4 in the same manner as other surface mount components. This configuration results in a simple device loading process, such as π in Figures 3A through 3F. Referring to the third to eighth paste, a typical assembly process involves first placing the circuit board 40 in a first device package portion 5a (3rd and 8th), which is - owed, and the antenna 1 is introduced into the package portion. 5 antenna A in the shape of an antenna 52 (帛 3C and 3DU), the antenna connection of the antenna extension 14 withstands the spring contact 42 of the road plate 4G_L, as shown in the figure . There is also a second package portion _ shaped to match the inner surface of the antenna 1 with the first reference package portion, such that the antenna i is driven into the volume 52 in the package portion 50A by 24 201145673 The spring contact body 42 is deformed in this package closing step (Fig. 3E). The two package portions 50A, 50B have an adsorption feature such that the final closed motion is associated with the adsorption of the two package portions. The support and position of the antenna 1 in the two package portions 5a, 5B are shown in the cross section of the 3F. The volume 52 and, if desired, a relative orientation volume of the package cover portion 5B, is shaped such that the antenna is positioned not only transverse to the antenna axis but also in the axial direction. It will also be noted that in addition to providing a simple and inexpensive assembly process, the configuration of the interconnection between the antenna and the board allows for axial movement between the antenna and the board 40 without interrupting the spring contacts 42. connection. This has the advantage that the device is subjected to severe shocks (for example, in the case of a hand-held wireless communication unit falling), the lack of a rigid connection between the antenna 丨 and the circuit board 4〇 avoids tensile forces on the solder joint, such soldering Welding between seams such as the elongated laminate 14 of the antenna and the second laminate 30 supporting the antenna of the matching network, and between the laterally mounted laminate 3 and the plated conductor on the distal surface portion 12D of the antenna core seam. Referring now to Figures 4A and 4B, a second antenna according to the invention has a magazine contact 42 mounted on the elongate laminate 14 adjacent the extended antenna connection section 14C. As in the system described above with reference to Figure 2, the spring contacts are metal leaf springs, each metal leaf magazine having a fixed foot and a contact foot. In this case, the fixed legs are individually and individually soldered to the respective contact regions 16V, 18W, 16W of the antenna connecting portion 14C. The device board (not shown) is provided with corresponding spaced apart contact areas such that the spring contacts 42 are compressed when the antenna turns into the desired position relative to the board. This configuration yields the same advantages as the configuration outlined above for 25 201145673 for the unit diagram of Figure 2. Referring to Figures 5A and 5B, the laminate structure of the feed line also provides for the full support of an active circuit component such as an RF front end low noise amplifier 60. In this case, the laminate 14 has a relatively large extension portion 14C, and the feed conductor (not shown) of the transmission line segment 14A is directly connected to the input of the low noise amplifier 60. The output of the amplifier can be directly coupled to the exposed contact area 62, as depicted in Figures 5A and 5B, to connect to a device board using the spring contacts as described above with reference to Figure 2. The position of the laminated plate 14 in the hole 12B (see Fig. 5B) of the antenna core 12 is assisted by the magazine biasing elements on the opposite faces of the laminated plate 14. They bear against the walls of the hole 12B to help center the plate 14 about the shaft 13. In this case, the direct connection of the feed conductor of the feed line to the radial track on the near end surface portion 12P (not shown) can be accomplished through the planar conductive lug or contact plate 66, the planar conductive lug Or the contact plate 66® is adjacent to the far contact area on the distal extension portion 14B of the laminate 14 and welded to the radial track. A further enlargement of the laminated board 14 as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B allows the delta antenna assembly 'where the feeder is directly fed with a low noise amplifier 6 〇, and the low noise amplifier 60 is correspondingly fed and mounted One of the proximity plates 14 of the laminate 14 is a receiver wafer 68. The economic assembly has a high frequency current that eliminates the connection between the laminate 14 and the device board, whether the connection is by a discrete connector 7A, a flexible printed circuit laminate or the top shown in Figures 6 and 6 Refer to the spring contact configuration described in Figure 2 for advantages. Furthermore, 'all parts of this circuit reduce the chance of common mode noise on the circuit board's noise emission 26 201145673 coupling to the circuit on the laminate 14 on a common adjacent ground plane of the laminate 14. . As an alternative to the conductive ear 66 described as a means for connecting the feeder conductor to the radial path on the distal surface 12P of the core as described above with reference to FIG. 5B, a spring contact can be used, As shown in Figures 7A and 7B. The spring contacts each have a planar connection base for soldering to the distal end ©UD and a dependent recessed spring segment that is threaded over the opposite side of the elongated layer 4 plate 14 The manhole (10) contacts the far contact zone _ on the distal extension 14B of the transmission line segment 14A. This provides an impact resistant interconnection of the feed line 14 with the antenna elements 10A-10B. The distal connections of the conductor-line feeder to the far-surface portion conductor are shown in Figures 8A and 8B. The connection between the plated near end surface portion 12p of the core 12 and the proximal end portion of the feeder shield conductors _, 16L can be achieved by a weld bead as shown in the 从, 叩, 冗 and 〇 It is achieved that the connection can be established when the antenna passes through the oven and the soldering of the ring 76 is obtained by plating the surface near the surface and stretching the outer conductor layer of the laminated board W. The (four) system between the inner edges of the weld ring and the ring-shaped inner edge is realized by providing a groove diameter as shown in Fig. 9E. In this case, the panel-like distal extension portion UB has a larger width than the transmission line segment 14A to make it easier to directly match the component on the elongated laminate 14 as shown in Fig. 9b. Referring to Figure 9F, the structure of the laminated board 14 of the antenna shown in Fig. 9-8 will now be described in more detail. The board has the following three conductive layers: an upper conductor consisting of a layer 14 1 inter-shield conductive layer 14_2 and a lower outer conductive layer (in the 9F diagram, a dashed line 四 (4) 14 small inner layer is formed _ narrow elongated feeder conductor Μ. Outside 27 201145673 The layers form the mask conductors 16U, 16L as described above. As previously described, extending between the mask conductors 16U, 16L are two rows of plated vias 17 which form a mask in combination with the mask conductors 16U, 16L. The inner conductor 18 is enclosed. The proximal extension portion 14C of the transmission line segment 14A has contact regions 16V, 18W, 16W connected to the feeder conductor as described above with reference to Figure 1B. In this example, the enlarged distal extension portion 14B constitutes a matching segment. The second laminate 3's matching section instead of the first antenna described above with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B has a shunt capacitor provided by a discrete surface mount capacitor 8A, which is mounted on the outer conductor layer The spacers formed in 14-1 are respectively connected to the inner conductor 18 through a via hole 18V and an extension portion 81 of the feed line mask conductor 16U. The transverse layer 82 and the associated via hole are passed through the intermediate layer. 14-2 medium shape A series inductance. The remote extension of the laminate 14 is achieved by a welded joint between the outer conductive layer on the side extension of the distal extension portion 14B and the conductor provided by the patterned conductive layer on the distal surface portion of the core. The connection of the matching network on portion 14B. It is not necessary to make a connection between the antenna feeder and a device board through a contact area extending in a plane parallel to the antenna axis. Referring to Figures 10A and 10B, at core 12 A contact area oriented perpendicular to the antenna axis may be provided on the proximal end surface portion 12P. In this case, the plating of the near end surface portion 12P may be patterned to provide an isolated "land" 88, which is formed to be electrically conductive. The continuation of the sleeve 20 is etched 88B. The patterning of the proximity conductive layers 88A, 88B on the core 12 provides a conductive pedestal region for attaching the fan-shaped conductive support member 28 201145673 The inner end of the 90' fan-shaped conductive support member 90 is shaped to connect to the contact region of the transmission line segment 14A proximate to the extended portion 14C (eg, a conductive gasket) 18W) (such regions are on opposite sides of the laminate 14). The support members 9 are coupled to the respective conductive layer portions 88A, 88B to form a thin and wear resistant contact region oriented perpendicular to the antenna axis and receive adjacent spring contacts. The body is as shown in Fig. 11. Referring to Fig. 11 'in this case, a device circuit board 40 has a straight metal leaf spring contact body 42, and the vertical metal leaf spring contact body 42 has a fixed leg 42F 'fixed foot The 42F is fixed in a hole in an edge of an adjacent circuit board 4'' and spaced apart to be registered with the spaced apart support member 90 connected to the end surface portion i2p of the antenna core 12. Each of the spring contacts has a contact leg 42U that elastically bears against the support member 90 in a direction parallel to the antenna axis. The same vertically oriented support member can be used on the face of a device board 4 The "turret" of the antenna is mounted, as shown in Fig. 12. In this case, the spring contact 42 is surface mounted on the plate 4, as shown in Fig. 12. When assembled at the antenna When the antenna 1 is driven into a position on the circuit board 40 during the device to which the circuit board 4 is a part, a predetermined interval is formed between the approaching end surface portion 12P and the opposite surface of the circuit board 40, appearing with reference to the above second The elastic footing movement of the contact pins of the spring contact body 42 in the direction of the fixed foot is the same as that shown in the figure. In FIGS. 13A and 13B, one of the circuit boards connected to the device can be selected by the tower installation configuration. In this case, the conductive layer plated on the surface portion 12P of the near end 29 201145673 of the antenna core 12 is patterned as described above with reference to FIGS. 10A and 10B. However, in this case, a diameter is opposite to the square. A pair of spring contact members 42 respectively mounted on the land conductor region 88A and the sleeve connection conductive region 88B are made to connect the feed lines to the elongated laminate 14. In each case, the fixed legs 42L are soldered to respective conductive The area is such that the contact leg 42U is oriented to withstand a contact area on a device circuit board (not shown) parallel to the proximal end surface portion 12P of the antenna core and perpendicular to the antenna axis 13, the antenna being in accordance with the spring contact 42 At a predetermined interval that is required for compression, the spring contacts are oriented such that the resilient interconnection between the fixed foot and the contact foot is in each case oriented toward and spaced from the shaft to withstand the stack. The near-extension portion 14B of the transmission line segment 14A of the board 14 is as shown in Figures 13A and 13B.
