アンテナ装置およびその指向性利得調整方法 技 術 分 野  Antenna device and directional gain adjustment method thereof
本発明は、 車両に搭載可能なアンテナ装置およびアンテナ装置の 指向性利得調整方法、 特に反射板を用いたアンテナ装置およびこの よ う なアンテナ装置の指向性利得調整方法に関する。 背 景 技 術  The present invention relates to an antenna device that can be mounted on a vehicle and a method of adjusting the directional gain of the antenna device, and more particularly to an antenna device using a reflector and a method of adjusting the directional gain of such an antenna device. Background technology
地上局および衛星からの電波を受信する車両搭載可能なアンテナ 装置は、 広い範囲に渡って指向性利得を確保する こ と が要求される アンテナが、 双方向性の放射パターンを有する場合、 反射板によ り 一方向の放射電力を反射させて他方向の放射電力に重畳させれば 指向性利得が改善する と予測される。 反射板を用いたアンテナは、 例えば特開 2 0 0 2 — 2 6 6 4 2号および特開 2 0 0 1 — 2 5 7 5 2 4号の公報に記載のものが知られている。  Vehicle-mounted antenna devices that receive radio waves from ground stations and satellites are required to ensure directional gain over a wide range.If an antenna has a bidirectional radiation pattern, Therefore, it is expected that the directional gain will be improved if the radiated power in one direction is reflected and superimposed on the radiated power in the other direction. As the antenna using the reflector, those described in, for example, JP-A-2002-26642 and JP-A-2001-257524 are known.
そこで、 本発明者らは、 反射板と して平板状の反射板を用いて、 その効果を確かめた。 図 1 に、 平板状の反射板を使用 した場合の指 向性利得改善の概念を示す。 図中、 1 0 は双方向性の放射パターン を有するアンテナを、 1 2 は反射板を示す。 さ らに、 図には、 説明 の便宜上 X Y Z軸を示してある。 アンテナ 1 0がダイ ポールアンテ ナの場合には、 Z方向および— Z方向の双方向に電力は放射される , 反射板 1 2 を X Y平面に平行に配置する こ と で、 アンテナ 1 0 から 一 Z方向への放射電力を反射させ、 + Z方向の利得向上を図る。 得 られる指向性利得パターンは、 アンテナ 1 0 と反射板 1 2 との間の 距離 Lによ り決定される。  Then, the present inventors used a flat-plate-like reflector as a reflector, and confirmed the effect. Figure 1 shows the concept of improving the directivity gain when a flat reflector is used. In the figure, 10 indicates an antenna having a bidirectional radiation pattern, and 12 indicates a reflector. Further, in the figure, XYZ axes are shown for convenience of explanation. When the antenna 10 is a dipole antenna, power is radiated in both directions of the Z direction and the −Z direction. Reflects radiated power in the Z direction to improve gain in the + Z direction. The obtained directional gain pattern is determined by the distance L between the antenna 10 and the reflector 12.
なお、 以下の説明において指向性利得， 利得変化量を示す図を用 いるが、 天頂角 0は図 2 で示すよ う に取る ものとする。 すなわち、 地上の半球領域の天頂方向 Tから測った角度である。 なお、 図の Y Z面において、 天頂方向から右方向へ測った角度を正、 左方向へ測 つた角度を負とする ものとする。 In the following description, the figures showing the directivity gain and the amount of change in gain are used, but the zenith angle 0 is assumed as shown in Fig. 2. That is, the angle measured from the zenith direction T of the hemisphere on the ground. Note that Y in the figure On the Z plane, the angle measured rightward from the zenith direction is positive, and the angle measured leftward is negative.
アンテナ 1 0 にダイポールアンテナを用い、 反射板 1 2 との距離 を 0 . 2 5 え， 0 . 5 λ ( λは受信波の波長である） と した場合の 指向性利得を、 図 3 に示す。 なお図には、 比較のために、 反射板を 設けないダイポールアンテナ （デフォル トアンテナと言う） の指向 性利得を示している。 図 4 には、 図 3 の結果から求めたデフォル ト アンテナからの利得変化量 （ d Β ) を示す。  Figure 3 shows the directivity gain when a dipole antenna is used as the antenna 10 and the distance from the reflector 12 is 0.25, and 0.5 λ (where λ is the wavelength of the received wave). . For comparison, the directional gain of a dipole antenna without a reflector (called the default antenna) is shown in the figure. Figure 4 shows the amount of gain change (dΒ) from the default antenna obtained from the results in Fig. 3.
図 3 に示す指向性利得からわかるよ う に、 距離 0 . 5 えでは、 デ フオル トアンテナにはみられない、 鋭い利得の落ち込みが現れる。 これは、 アンテナから直接放射される電波と、 反射板によ り 反射さ れた電波の相互干渉によって指向性利得が決まる こ と に起因 してい る。 ，  As can be seen from the directional gain shown in Fig. 3, at a distance of 0.5 or less, a sharp drop in gain appears that is not seen in the default antenna. This is because the directivity gain is determined by the mutual interference between the radio wave directly radiated from the antenna and the radio wave reflected by the reflector. ,
また、： 図 4 の利得変化量からわかる よ う に、 距離 0 . 2 5 λでは、 天頂角 Θが約 7 0 ° 〜 9 0 ° および約— 7 0 ° 9 0 ° で、 デフ オル トアンテナに比べ利得変化量が低下し、 距離 0 . 5 えでは、 天 頂角一 3 0 ° 〜 3 0 ° でデフォル トアンテナに比べ利得変化量が低 下している。 これは、 直接波と反射波が同位相で合成される角度で は利得改善効果があるが、 逆位相で合成される角度については、 ヌ ル点が生成されるこ と に起因 している。  Also, as can be seen from the gain change in Fig. 4, at a distance of 0.25λ, the zenith angle 約 is about 70 ° to 90 ° and about −70 ° 90 °, and the default antenna is The gain change is smaller than that of the default antenna at a zenith angle of 30 ° to 30 ° when the distance is 0.5. This is because there is a gain improvement effect at the angle where the direct wave and the reflected wave are combined in the same phase, but a null point is generated at the angle combined with the opposite phase.
このよ う に平板状の反射板では、 反射板とアンテナとの間の距離 によっては、 指向性利得において、 デフォル トアンテナにはみられ ない鋭い落ち込み （低下） が発生し、 — 9 0 ° 〜 + 9 0 ° の天頂角 範囲に渡って指向性利得を確保するこ と は困難である。 発 明 の 開 示  In such a flat reflector, depending on the distance between the reflector and the antenna, a sharp drop (decrease) occurs in the directional gain that is not seen in the default antenna, and the It is difficult to secure directivity gain over the zenith angle range of + 90 °. Disclosure of the invention

本発明によれば、 反射板を多段形状に し、 段数に応 じた数の平面 状反射面を構成し、 アンテナと反射面までの距離関係が複数得られ る よ う にする。 このよ う にする こ と によ り 、 各反射面特有の指向性 利得改善範囲が等価的に合成されるよ う にな り 、 指向性利得が改善 される天頂角範囲の拡大が可能と なる。  According to the present invention, the reflecting plate is formed in a multi-stage shape, the number of planar reflecting surfaces corresponding to the number of stages is formed, and a plurality of distance relationships between the antenna and the reflecting surface are obtained. By doing so, the directivity gain improvement range peculiar to each reflecting surface is equivalently combined, and the zenith angle range in which the directivity gain is improved can be expanded. .
また、 多段形状の反射板を使用 した場合、 各反射面特有の指向性 利得の落ち込みポイ ン トを相互に補完するため、 全体と しては鋭い 落ち込みはなく なる。  In addition, when a multi-stage reflector is used, since the drop points of the directivity gain peculiar to each reflecting surface complement each other, no sharp drop is eliminated as a whole.

図 5 は、 本発明の反射板の一実施例を示す斜視図である。 多段形 状の反射板 1 4は、 サイズの異なる矩形の平板状の反射板が多段に 積層された形状であ り、 上方よ り 平面状反射面 S I , S 2 , S 3 を有している。 各反射面とアンテナ 1 0 との間の距離は、 L I , L 2 , L 3…である。 なお、 このよ うな反射板は、 導体で形成される。 前述したよ う に、 平板状の反射板を用いた場合、 指向性利得は、 アンテナと反射板との間の距離によって決定される。 したがって、 図 5 に示した、 サイズの異なる矩形の平板状の反射板が多段に積層 された形状の反射板 1 4 は、 平板状の各反射板をそれぞれ設けた場 合の指向性利得を合成 した指向性利得を有する ものと考える こ と が でき る。 FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the reflection plate of the present invention. The multi-stage reflector 14 has a shape in which rectangular flat reflectors of different sizes are stacked in multiple stages, and has planar reflection surfaces SI, S 2 and S 3 from above. . The distance between each reflecting surface and the antenna 10 is LI, L2, L3,. Note that such a reflection plate is formed of a conductor. As described above, when a flat reflector is used, the directivity gain is determined by the distance between the antenna and the reflector. Therefore, the rectangular flat reflectors of different sizes shown in Fig. 5 are stacked in multiple stages. It can be considered that the reflector 14 having such a shape has a directional gain obtained by combining the directional gain when each of the flat reflectors is provided.
したがって段数および距離は、 所望の指向性利得に応じて選択す る こ とができ る。 たと えば一 9 0 ° 〜十 9 0 ° の範囲にわたっての 半球領域全域にて利得改善を行 う ためには、 大きい天頂角 （低仰 角） で特性の良い距離 （例えば 0 . 5 え） から、 小さい天頂角 （高 仰角） で特性の良い距離 （例えば 0 . 2 5 え） の間で、 複数の反射 面を有する反射板を構成する。 これによ り 、 所望の領域全域にわた つての利得改善が得られる と と もに、 指向性利得の落ち込みについ ても、 相互に補完する こ とができ る。  Therefore, the number of steps and the distance can be selected according to the desired directivity gain. For example, in order to improve the gain over the entire hemisphere range from 90 ° to 90 °, a large zenith angle (low elevation angle) and a good distance (for example, 0.5 mm) are required. A reflector having a plurality of reflecting surfaces is formed at a small zenith angle (high elevation angle) and at a distance with good characteristics (for example, 0.25 mm). As a result, the gain can be improved over the entire desired region, and the drop in the directional gain can be complemented by each other.
なお、 多段形状の反射板は、 矩形状以外の形状であっても よい。 例えば、 図 6 の反射板 1 6 に示すよ う に楕円の多段形状、 あるいは 円の多段形状とする こ とができ る。  Note that the multi-stage reflecting plate may have a shape other than a rectangular shape. For example, as shown in a reflection plate 16 in FIG. 6, the shape can be an elliptical multi-stage shape or a circular multi-stage shape.

図 1 1 に、 アンテナが平面アンテナ 2 2 である場合の、 反射板 2 0 を示す。 この反射板 2 0 には、 実施例 1 と 同様に、 正方形の 2段 形状の反射板を用いた。  FIG. 11 shows the reflector 20 when the antenna is a planar antenna 22. As in the first embodiment, a square two-stage reflecting plate was used as the reflecting plate 20.
平面アンテナ 2 2 は、 放射素子の周囲をアース導体で取り 囲んだ タイプのものである。 図 1.2 に、 この平面アンテナを示す。 2 4 は 放射素子を、 2 6 はアース導体を、 2 9 は給電点を示す。 なお、 給 電点 2 9 は、 放射素子およびアース導体への接続点を含めて示して おり 、 実際には、 同軸ケーブルを用い、 その芯線を放射素子に接続 し、 網線をアース導体に接続する。  The planar antenna 22 is of a type in which the radiating element is surrounded by a ground conductor. Figure 1.2 shows this planar antenna. 24 denotes a radiating element, 26 denotes a ground conductor, and 29 denotes a feed point. The power supply point 29 includes the connection points to the radiating element and the ground conductor.In practice, a coaxial cable is used, the core wire of which is connected to the radiating element, and the mesh wire is connected to the ground conductor. I do.
放射素子 2 4 は、 正方形であるが、 円偏波アンテナを実現するた めに、 対角に位置する 2個のコーナーに切 り 込み 2 8 , 2 8 が設け られている。  The radiating element 24 is square, but cuts 28 and 28 are provided at two diagonally located corners to realize a circularly polarized antenna.
このよ う な平面アンテナは、 車両の窓ガラスの内側面に設けられ る。 図 1 1 では、 1枚のガラス板 3 0の、 反射板 2 0 と対向する面 (窓ガラスの内側面に相当する） に設けている。  Such a planar antenna is provided on the inner surface of a vehicle window glass. In FIG. 11, it is provided on the surface (corresponding to the inner surface of the window glass) of one glass plate 30 facing the reflection plate 20.

The size of one side is 1.5 mm.
また、 反射面 S 1 と平面アンテナ 2 2 との間の距離は 0 . 3 5 、 反射面 S 2 と平面アンテナ 2 2 との間の距離は 0 . 5 えである。 例 えば衛星ラ ジオ放送の電波の波長えが、 1 2 7 . 5 mm ( 2 . 3 5 G H z ) である場合、 0 . 3 5 λ = 4 4 . 6 2 5 mmであ り 、 0 . 5 1 = 6 3 . 7 5 mmである。 なお、 参考までに、 アンテナと平面からなる反射板との間の距離 を 0 . 3 5 え と した と きのデフォル ト アンテナの利得変化量のダラ フを図 1 3 に示す。 The distance between the reflecting surface S 1 and the planar antenna 22 is 0.35, and the distance between the reflecting surface S 2 and the planar antenna 22 is 0.5 mm. For example, if the wavelength of the radio wave of satellite radio broadcasting is 127.5 mm (2.35 GHz), then 0.35 λ = 44.625 mm. 5 1 = 6 3.75 mm. For reference, Figure 13 shows the gain variation of the default antenna when the distance between the antenna and the reflector consisting of a plane is 0.35.
以上のよ う な反射板 2 0 を配置した平面アンテナ 2 2の指向性利 得改善の効果を、 図 1 4に示す。 図 1 4は、 反射板 2 0を設けた場 合と、 設けなかった場合の仰角平面内平均指向性利得 （ d B ) を示 す。 この結果からも、 反射板 2 0 を設けるこ とによ り 、 指向性利得 が改善されているこ とがわかる。 なお、 仰角は、 図 2の天頂角 0を 説明する図において、 （ 9 0 ° — Θ ) の角度である。  FIG. 14 shows the effect of improving the directivity gain of the planar antenna 22 in which the reflector 20 is arranged as described above. FIG. 14 shows the average directivity gain (dB) in the elevation plane when the reflector 20 is provided and when the reflector 20 is not provided. This result also indicates that the provision of the reflection plate 20 improves the directivity gain. The elevation angle is an angle of (90 ° -Θ) in the figure explaining the zenith angle 0 in FIG.
図 1 5 は仰角 0〜 9 0 ° の範囲に対する利得変化量 （ d B ) を示 す。 図 1 5 の利得変化量は図 1 3の.利得変化量に比べて利得の低下 がなく 、 利得が改善されているこ とがわかる。 産業上の利用可能性  Figure 15 shows the gain change (dB) for the range of elevation angles from 0 to 90 °. It can be seen that the gain variation in FIG. 15 does not decrease and the gain is improved as compared with the gain variation in FIG. Industrial applicability

As a result, it is as if the directivity gain improvement areas of each other were added, and the sharp drop in directivity gain caused by each single reflecting surface should be interpolated by other reflecting surfaces. Can be. Therefore, the directivity gain improvement effect can be obtained over a wide range, and the sharp drop in directivity gain that occurs when a normal flat reflector is used does not occur.
