Definitions

  • the frequency ranges lie within the longwave, intermediate wave, shortwave and ultra shortwave regions, that is, between frequencies of 0.15 and H MHz a number of frequency ranges, with large gaps therebetween, exist.
  • Such short antennas tuned for the ultra shortwave region, represent only a small capacitive coupling to the electromagnetic field in the longwave, intermediate wave and shortwave regions.
  • Such antennas are almost exclusively energized by the electrical component of the electromagnetic field.
  • cables must be used interconnecting the antenna and the receiver, which represent a very small capacitive component, that is, cables, which do not have a well-defined characteristic impedance.
  • rod-like antennas which are generally employed in a telescopic arrangement in commercial vehicles, are constantly in danger of inadvertent damage.
  • active antenna Also presently known in the art, is a so-called active antenna, as disclosed in Belgian Patent No. 725,370, issued Feb. 14, 1969. It is disclosed in this patent that broadband matching may be achieved between the parts of the antenna receiving the electromagnetic energy and the receiver, or the receiver cable, by use of controllable, three-terminal active elements. These three-terminal, controllable active elements, preferably transistors, are used to make the signal to noise ratio an optimum. This type of matching is hereinafter called noise matching. Since active elements are used in these antenna arrangements with such noise matching, these antenna arrangements will hereinafter be called active antennas.
  • the active antennas described above, as disclosed in the Belgian patent, have a single signal transmission path between the antenna parts receiving the radiant energy and the antenna output, for all frequencies and frequency ranges to be received.
  • the active antennas disclosed in the Belgian patent still do not constitute an arrangement which eliminates all of the following drawbacks:
  • the present invention is an antenna arrangement for receiving radiant energy in a plurality of frequency ranges at an antenna input and furnishing corresponding antenna output signals to an antenna output. It comprises a plurality of passive impedance elements for receiving said radiant energy..lt further comprises active impedance means, and connecting means connecting said passive impedance elements and said active impedance means in such a manner that a signal transmission path having transmission characteristics independent of the transmission characteristics of all other signal transmission paths, is formed between said antenna input and said antenna output for each of said frequency ranges.
  • the active impedance means may be independently matched to the passive impedance elements.
  • the active impedance means may comprise a plurality of active impedance elements, each associated with one transmission path, and the operating point of each active impedance element may be adjusted independently. In this way, an optimum coupling to the electromagnetic field may be combined with an optimum coupling to a cable interconnecting antenna output to the receiver input, and, further, very small antennas may be used, thus decreasing the probability of damage.
  • Each signal transmission path with its associated active elements can be matched and adjusted to the corresponding frequency range, so that, in spite of large differences in the frequency ranges, a single antenna may be used for optimum reception in all of these different frequency ranges.
  • the frequency band to be received is divided into two frequency ranges and two signal transmission paths are provided between the antenna input and the antenna output.
  • Each path may have its appropriate matching and/or amplification.
  • the two frequency ranges to be received in a commercial vehicle namely the long, intermediate and shortwave region on the one hand, and the ultra shortwave region on the other hand, may each be received in an optimum manner.
  • each of the signal transmission paths may lead to a separate antenna output, thus permitting signals within the two separate frequency ranges to be separately transmitted to, for example, a separate receiver.
  • only the active element for the upper, for example the ultra shortwave frequency range, is matched to the passive impedance element on a noise-matching basis.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for commercial vehicle antennas functioning in widely-separated frequency regions. Very little equipment is required, and the mismatching in the lower frequency range is acceptable.
  • the active element for the upper frequency range is capacitively coupled to the passive impedance elements, which, in this embodiment, are part of both the first and second signal transmission path.
  • the capacitive coupling may be achieved via the shield of a coaxial conductor.
  • the above-mentioned coaxial conductor is a printed pseudo coaxial cable comprising a first, second and third conducting strip, the first and third conducting strip consisting outer conductors and the shield for the second, or inner conducting strip.
  • control electrode of each active element is connected to a choke.
  • the chokes are so designed that all frequencies not within the frequency range of the signal path with which the particular active element is associated, are blocked from said signal path. This type of connection will substantially eliminate coupling between the different signal paths and resulting noise.
  • an additional active element is connected in series with the active element associated with the signal transmission .path in the lower frequency range. This reduces the danger of non-linear distortion and results in signal amplification without corresponding noise amplification, thus improving the sensitivity of the antenna.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of the active antenna of this invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram showing the active elements of an antenna in accordance with the present invention.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawing is a printed circuit, which is particularly suitable for placement into the mounting of a rear-view mirror in a commercial vehicle.
  • conducting strips 1 and 2 are printed as printed circuits on an insulating plate P. These strips serve as inductors.
  • These conducting strips in conjunction with a top-loading capacity 3, which may be embodied in a rear-view mirror and with the car body or other metallic ground plane, constitute the passive or receiving part of the antenna.
  • the capacity 3 may be varied within predetermined limits, that is as long as the mathematical product of the effective antenna height multiplied by this capacity remains unchanged.
  • Conducting strips 1 and 2 constitute the means for transforming the impedance of the parts of the antenna which receive the electromagnetic energy to a value which allows an optimum noise matching to the active impedance elements.
  • These active elements of the active antenna comprise, as will be described in more detail below, the transistors 4 and 5 in the circuit shown in FIG. 2.
  • the capacity 3 has a definite function both in the upper frequency range, for example the ultra shortwave region, as well as in the lower frequency range, for example the longwave region.
  • the capacity 3 together with the conducting strips 1 and 2 constitute the capacity of an oscillator circuit serving as input circuits; in the upper frequency region, that is in the longwave region, the capacity 3 constitutes the main antenna capacity.
  • the printed conducting strip 1 is continued as the printed inner conductor 7 of a pseudo coaxial cable, which consists of three substantially parallel conducting strips, 2 and 7.
  • the conducting strip 1 and the inner conductor 7 of the pseudo coaxial cable also serves as a connection between the capacity 3 and the active element used in the signal transmission path for the lower frequency range, namely transistor 4.
  • the outer conductor of the pseudo coaxial cable, that is the conducting strip 2 serves as partial inductivity of the input circuit for coupling the active element for the upper frequency region, that is transistor 5, to the receiving,
  • passive part of the antenna It further constitutes, together with the input impedance of transistor 4, a part of the transformation circuit for matching the receiving part of the antenna on a noise matching basis to the input impedance of the active impedance element for the upper frequency region, that is transistor 5.
  • connection from the conducting strip 2 of the pseudo "coaxial cable to transistor 5, is made via terminal 8 to the printed surface of a coupling capacitor 9 (FIG. 1) and then to terminal 10 (FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) over an additional capacitor 11 to the base of transistor 5.
  • the resistances 12 and 13 shown in FIG. 2 serve to set the operating point of transistor 5.
  • transistor 4 the active impedance element for the lower frequency range, with the receiving part of the antenna is made via terminal 14 connected to the inner conductor 7 to the terminal 15 (FIG. 2) and via a choke l6 and a resistance 17 to the base of transistor 4.
  • a diode 18, shown in FIG. 2 protects transistor 4, namely the transistor for the lower frequency range, from static charges.
  • an additional active element, or amplifier, such as transistor 6 may be connected in series to the active impedance element for the lower frequency range.
  • the cascade circuit of transistors 4 and 6 increases the amplification without a corresponding increase in noise, thus effectively improving the sensitivity of the antenna arrangement.
  • the resistance 30 in the emitter circuit of transistor 6 serves as a feedback resistance and serves to submerge interference resulting from intermodulation into the noise level.
  • the resistance 17 serves to flatten any possibly existing resonance curves.
  • the choke 16, in conjunction with the resistance 17, serves to decrease interference which may result from electrical equipment associated with the engine of a commercial vehicle, when the active antenna of this invention is used in such a vehicle.
  • Such electrical interference, generated by the abovementioned associated electrical equipment, is radiated into the receiving parts of the antenna and produced by mixing with higher frequencies.
  • Choke 20 together with capacitor 21 serve as a general filter for the input to transistor 4, while resistance 22 together with capacitor 23 blocks high frequency interference from the input to transistor 4.
  • This high frequency interference may, for example,-
  • Choke 25 and capacitor 26 serve to de-couple the output voltage of the lower frequency range from the output of transistor 5, which serves to amplify the voltages of the upper frequency range, that is the ultra shortwave region.
  • the output of transistor'6 for the lower frequency range, and the output of transistor 5 for the upper frequency range are both connected to the antenna output.
  • the connection between the antenna output and the receiving means may then be made, for example by a coaxial cable 29.
  • Capacitor 26 serves this function as well as the function mentioned above.
  • Capacitors 27 and 28 serve to supply bias voltages.
