Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for suppressing mutual in- terference between antennas located close to each other, said apparatus consisting of at least one elongated suppressing element of conductive material fitted between antenna radiators, disposed in a plane transverse to the connecting line between the antennas.
- the base transceiver stations of mobile communication networks use superposed dipole antennas, each antenna being connected to a separate transmitter-receiver apparatus.
- Such superposed antennas placed closely together produce interference in each other.
- superposed antennas must be placed at a relatively large dis- tance from each other to achieve a sufficient insulation level, e.g. 26 dB, between the antennas. Therefore, the antenna structures currently used in base transceiver stations are relatively high. This is a disadvantage especially in cities, where there are many base transceiver stations within a small area and they are placed on residential and office buildings in city blocks.
- WO 98 /01923 presents a vertical cross-polarized antenna array which comprises a vertical suppression bar placed between superposed radiator modules, in a plane transverse to the direction of radia- tion, to suppress mutual interference between the antennas.
- the length of the bar is at least 25% of the distance between the radiator modules.
- the suppression bars are placed in a plane transverse to the direction of radiation and transversely to the connecting line between the antennas. The problem with these prior-art solutions for the suppression of interference is that they have a low interference suppression capability.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks associ- ated with prior-art solutions and to achieve a new type of apparatus for suppressing mutual interference between antennas placed close to each other.
- the apparatus of the invention is characterized in that the suppressing element is disposed in the direction of radiation and its length equals a quarter of one of the wavelengths in the frequency range of the antennas or its multiple, the suppressing element thus functioning as a resonator tuned at least to the frequency range in question and radiating in a plane transverse to the direction of radiation of the antennas.
- the apparatus of the invention it will be possible to place antennas considerably more closely together than at present. This will reduce the size of the antenna structures of e.g. base stations, allowing more inconspicuous disposition of the base stations of mobile communication networks especially in an urban environment.
- the antenna system comprises two dipole antennas 1 , 2 placed one above the other in the same vertical plane, each of which is provided with a vertical radiator 11 , 21 attached to a horizontal arm 10, 20. Placed behind these is a vertical reflector 3, the upper end of which extends slightly above the upper end of the radiator 11 of the upper antenna while the lower end extends slightly below the lower end of the radiator 21 of the lower antenna.
- Each antenna is connected by an antenna cable 13, 23 to a separate receiver-transmitter (Rx/Tx) apparatus.
- the antenna system is mounted on a supporting structure (not shown) and enclosed in a protective casing 4.
- the antenna system is provided with a round bar or a strip 5 having the shape of an elongated rectangle, placed between the antennas despite the small distance between them and made of the same electrically conductive material as the reflector and the radiators, said bar or strip being connected to the reflector 3 in a direction parallel to the supporting arms 10, 20 of the antennas.
- the length L of this bar or strip equals a quarter of the wavelength or this quantity multiplied by an odd integer, i.e.
- ⁇ is the wavelength and n is an odd integer (1 ,3,5,).
- the strip 5 is placed at a distance from the radiators and it functions as a resonator tuned to the frequency of 900 MHz and radiating omnidirectionally in a plane transverse to the direction of radiation (to the right in the plane of the paper sheet) of the antennas 1 ,2, so that only a very small proportion of the signal it receives can get from one antenna to the other. Thus, interference transmitted from one antenna to the other is substantially reduced, and still the strip 5 does not interfere with the operation of any one of the antennas.
- An antenna construction of electrically conductive film comprising the antennas and the suppressing element 5 can be etched on a fiberglass circuit plate.
- the length of the strip or bar is equal to half the wavelength or half the wavelength multiplied by an integer.
