Definitions
- the present invention relates to antennas for use in portable, wireless, communication devices and more particularly to antennas for receiving global positioning system (GPS) signals .
- GPS global positioning system
- Planar Inverted F Antennas are widely used in cellular telephone handsets for the transmission and reception of radio frequency (RF) signals to and from base stations.
- a prior art PIFA is shown in FIG. 1.
- a conventional PIFA 10 typically include a plate conductor and a ground conductor which are arranged approximately in parallel. The plate and ground conductors are typically coupled by a shorting pin (not shown) , while a coaxial line is typically employed as a feed pin (also not shown) .
- a PIFA is a planar antenna, it is usually parallel- mounted to the printed circuit board (PCB) 12 ground plane. Due to the small size of the cellular phone handset, only the first resonating mode of the PIFA is typically used for antenna radiation. The direction of the radiating maximum 14 for the first resonant mode is perpendicular to the plane of the antenna, as shown.
- PIFAs have been used in stand-alone global positioning system (GPS) applications. In GPS applications, the PIFA is typically mounted on top of a car or stand-alone box, so that it is generally parallel to the earth plane. In this orientation, the direction of the radiating/receiving maximum is perpendicular to the earth plane i.e. pointing toward the sky, from where the GPS signals are transmitted.
- GPS global positioning system
- cellular telephones are now required to possess a GPS chip or geolocation receiver, and to be capable of receiving GPS position data transmitted by a GPS satellite.
- the presence of a GPS chip in a cellular telephone or other portable wireless communication device allows a user to press a 911 or panic button if the user is in danger or in need of medical attention.
- the portable wireless device would then resolve positioning signals from a number of GPS satellites.
- a location signal is then transmitted from the wireless device to police, fire or medical emergency personnel so that the user may be located easily.
- a PIFA is used to receive GPS signals, it is usually mounted parallel to the PCB ground plane, like in other cellular applications. However, a cellular telephone is typically held in a generally vertical position when being used. In this position, the PIFA's radiating/receiving maximum is directed toward the horizon and its radiating/receiving minimum is directed toward the sky. Typically, the antenna gain for a PIFA is 10 dB lower in the direction of the radiating/receiving minimum as in the direction of the radiating/receiving maximum. Therefore, using a PIFA to receive GPS signals results in poor communication links or dropped calls.
- the present invention contemplates a new and improved inverted F antenna for receiving GPS signals which overcomes the above-referenced problems and others .
- FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a conventional PIFA mounted to a printed circuit board (PCB) of a cellular telephone;
- FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of a folded inverted F antenna (FIFA) in accordance with the present invention
- FIGURES 3A, 3B, and 3C are perspective views of alternate embodiments of a FIFA in accordance with the present invention.
- FIGURE 4 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of a FIFA capable of transmitting/receiving circularly polarized signals in accordance with the present invention.
- the folded inverted F antenna (FIFA) 20 of the present invention includes an L-shaped or folded conductor plate, which forms the receiving element 30 for the antenna 20.
- the receiving element 30 is mounted on a dielectric substrate 32.
- the conductor plate 30 may serve as a radiating element for transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals and/or a receiving element for detecting RF signals.
- the receiving element 30 consists of a parallel side 34 and a perpendicular side 36 which share a fold edge 38.
- the fold angle between the parallel and perpendicular sides is about 90 degrees.
- the fold angle of the receiving element may have values less than or greater than 90 degrees.
- the folded radiating/receiving element 30 is mounted on top of a printed circuit board (PCB) ground plane 40 such that the parallel side 34 is parallel to the PCB and the perpendicular side 35 is perpendicular to the PCB, as shown in FIGURE 2.
- PCB printed circuit board
- Such a PCB is standard in cellular telephones and other wireless communication devices .
- the implementation of the present invention will be discussed in terms of cellular telephones. However, it is to be understood that a FIFA may be employed in other wireless communication devices such as personal digital assistants (PDA) and standalone GPS stations.
- PDA personal digital assistants
- a separate antenna ground plane 42 is disposed below and substantially parallel to the perpendicular side 36 of the receiving element 30.
- the PCB 40 serves as a ground plane for the parallel side 34.
- a separate ground plane (not shown) is mounted substantially parallel to the parallel side 32 in addition to the PCB. It should be appreciated that the FIFA exhibits better bandwidth in the embodiment in which the PCB serves as the ground plane for the parallel side.
- a receiver circuit 50 is disposed between the parallel side 34 and the PCB ground plane 40. Utilizing the space between the parallel side and the PCB ground plane to house antenna circuitry or components contributes to overall real estate efficiency, which facilitates using the present invention in smaller telephone housings.
- the FIFA includes at least one shorting pin or conductor 54 which couples the L-shaped receiving element 30 to the first ground plane 42 and/or the PCB ground plane 40.
- a receive conductor or receive line 58 couples the antenna's receiver circuit 50 to the receiving element 30.
- coaxial cable containing an inner conductor and an outer ground shield, is utilized as the receive conductor. It is to be appreciated that positioning of the shorting conductor and receive conductor affects the performance of the antenna.
- FIGURES 3A, 3B, and 3C illustrate alternate embodiments of shorting and receive conductor positions for the FIFA.
- FIGURE 3A illustrates an embodiment with both the shorting and receive conductors 54 and 58, respectively, coupled to the parallel side 34 of the receiving element 30.
- FIGURE 3B illustrates an alternate embodiment in which the receive conductor 58 is coupled to the perpendicular side 36 of the receiving element 30 and the shorting conductor 54 is coupled to the parallel side 34 of the receive element 30.
- FIGURE 3C illustrates yet another embodiment where both the shorting and receive conductors 54, 58 are coupled to the perpendicular side 36 of the receiving element 30. It is to be appreciated that antenna performance for each of the aforementioned embodiments may be varied by changing the position of the receive and/or shorting conductors on the parallel and/or perpendicular sides of the receiving element.
- the shorting and receive conductors, 54 and 58, respectively, are adjusted in order to achieve maximal sensitivity to electric and magnetic fields transmitted by a global positioning system (GPS) satellite. Because of the location of the GPS satellite above the surface of the earth, the transmitted GPS signals travel along a zenith direction, i.e. from the sky.
- GPS global positioning system
- GPS capability means the ability to self determine position through the use of the GPS constellation of satellites.
- the Global Positioning System may be used to determine the position of a GPS receiver on or near the surface of the earth from signals received from a constellation of satellites.
- the orbits of the GPS satellites are arranged in multiple planes in order that signals can be received from at least four satellites at any position on earth. More typically, signals are received from six or eight satellites at most places on the earth's surface.
- Orbits of GPS satellites are determined with accuracy from fixed ground stations and are relayed to the spacecraft.
- the latitude, longitude, and altitude of any point close to the surface of the earth can be calculated from the times of propagation of the electromagnetic signals from four or more of the satellites.
- a measured range is determined between the GPS receiver and the satellites based upon these propagation times.
- the measured range is referred to as pseudorange because there is typically a time offset between timing clocks on the satellites and a clock within the GPS receiver.
- pseudorange because there is typically a time offset between timing clocks on the satellites and a clock within the GPS receiver.
- To determine a three-dimensional position at least four satellite signals are needed to solve for the four unknowns represented by the time offset and the three dimensional position.
- the nature of the signals transmitted from the GPS satellites is well known from the literature.
- Each GPS satellite transmits two spread spectrum, L-band carrier signals, referred to as Ll and L2 signals. Two signals are needed if it is desired to eliminate any error that arises due to refraction of the transmitted signals by the ionosphere.
- the Ll signal from each GPS satellite is Binary Phase Shift Keyed (BPSK) modulated by two pseudorandom codes in phase quadrature as is known to those skilled in the art.
- BPSK Binary Phase Shift Keyed
- Using a binary pseudorandom code to modulate the phase of a carrier signal produces a suppressed carrier spread spectrum signal.
- the L2 signal from each satellite is BPSK modulated by only one of the pseudorandom codes .
- Use of the pseudorandom codes allows use of a plurality of GPS satellite signals for determining a receiver's position and for providing navigation information.
- a signal transmitted by a particular GPS satellite is selected by generating and matching, or correlating, the pseudorandom code for that particular satellite.
- Some of the pseudorandom codes are known and are generated or stored in GPS receivers. Other pseudorandom codes are not publicly known.
- both the parallel side 34 and the perpendicular side 36 of the receiving element 30 have radiation sensitivity maxima 60, 62 in directions perpendicular to the parallel and perpendicular sides.
- the parallel side 34 of the receiving element 30 possesses a radiation sensitivity maximum 60 in the horizon direction and the perpendicular side 36 of the receiving element 30 possesses a radiation sensitivity maximum 62 in the zenith direction.
- These two radiation sensitivity maxima 60, 62 form a continuous radiation sensitivity field 64.
- the radiation sensitivity field of the FIFA is tuned to receive GPS position signals when the cellular phone is in a user position ranging from about vertical to about 30 degrees from about vertical.
- the positioning of the receive conductor 58 and the shorting conductor 54 may be varied depending upon the physical geometry of the wireless device housing. For ' example, a FIFA for use in a type cellular phone that has a movable section that opens and closes relative to the body of the telephone will have different positioning of the receive and shorting conductors that a conventional 'candy bar' style cellular telephone.
- the contact positions of the receive conductor 58 and the shorting conductor 54 on the parallel side 34 and the perpendicular side 36 of the receiving element are varied in order to adjust the overall radiation sensitivity maximum so that it is pointing toward the sky or zenith direction regardless of the orientation of the cellular telephone.
- the radiation sensitivity field is tuned such that GPS signals will be within the radiation sensitivity maximum for cellular phone orientations from about vertical to about 30 degrees from about vertical.
- the FIFA 20 exhibits about 6dB greater antenna gain for signals in the zenith direction than conventional planar inverted F antennas .
- the FIFA configurations having one receive pin 58 and one shorting pin 54 provide an antenna • which is capable of receiving linearly polarized (LP) signals.
- GPS satellites transmit circularly polarized (CP) signals.
- CP circularly polarized
- any CP field transmitted by a GPS satellite can be decomposed into two orthogonal LP fields having a 90 degree phase difference, with one of the two LP fields matching the polarization of the FIFA antenna .
- a FIFA is configured to transmit/receive CP signals by employing two shorting conductors 54 ⁇ , 54 2 and one receive conductor 58 on the receiving/radiating element 30.
- a receive conductor 58 is in contact with the receiving element 30 at the fold edge 38.
- one shorting conductor 54 is coupled to the parallel side 34, while the other shorting conductor 54 ⁇ is coupled to the perpendicular side 36.
- the FIFA is tuned to change the strength and phase of its sensitivity/radiating field, such that CP fields may be received/transmitted in desired directions. It is to be appreciated that CP fields may be detected/transmitted by coupling two receive conductors, one on each of the parallel and perpendicular sides, and a single shorting conductor to the receiving/radiating element.
- An antenna device for a portable wireless device comprising: a first ground plane; a first conductor plane oriented substantially parallel with the first ground plane; a second ground plane oriented substantially perpendicular to the first ground plane and first conductor plane; a second conductor plane oriented substantially parallel with the second ground plane; a shorting conductor extending between at least one of i) the first ground plane and first conductor plane, and ii) the second ground plane and second conductor plane; and at least one receive conductor extending between a receive circuit and at least one of i) the first conductor plane and ii) the second conductor plane.
- the first ground plane defines a printed circuit board (PCB) of the wireless device.
- PCB printed circuit board
- the receive conductor couples the receive circuit to the fold edge of the first and second conductor planes; a first shorting conductor connects the first conductor plane to the first ground plane; and a second shorting conductor connects the second conductor plane to the second ground plane.
- the antenna device wherein the first and second conductor planes receive circularly polarized electric and magnetic radiation fields transmitted by a global positioning system (GPS) satellite.
- GPS global positioning system
