Definitions
- the invention relates to a planar antenna arrangement in a radar sensor for detecting objects in the vicinity of a motor vehicle with a plurality of micro-stiff feed lines and a plurality of coupling slots for radiating the microwave energy into free space.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying an antenna arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset which is based on LTCC technology (low temperature perature Cofired Ceramics) and which achieves a good antenna efficiency with a planar structure.
- LTCC technology low temperature perature Cofired Ceramics
- This object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.
- Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.
- the invention is based on the observation that holes or cavities are not possible when the antenna arrangement is constructed using LTCC thick-film technology. Wave separation in the direction of free space is also made more difficult by the high dielectric constant. Instead, the microwave energy vagabundates in the ceramic.
- the feed lines and the coupling slots are formed in a multilayer ceramic substrate in LTCC thick-film technology with an upper and a lower ground layer, and the feed lines and the coupling slots are chambered by through-contacts from the upper to the lower ground layer. This ensures that the microwave energy cannot be radiated into the rest of the circuit.
- the feed lines and the coupling slots are surrounded by plated-through holes at a fixed distance, the distance being smaller than a critical distance value at which waveguide modes are formed. With this shielding, the lines for the radiation are nailed up, so to speak.
- the defined distance is preferably in the range from approximately 0.01 * ⁇ to approximately 0.1 * ⁇ , where ⁇ represents the wavelength of the emitted microwave radiation.
- each coupling slot is enclosed by a single-row arrangement of plated-through holes.
- each coupling slot can be enclosed by a double-row arrangement of vias according to claim 5.
- the two rows of arrangements can be aligned with one another or offset from one another.
- other shapes such as three-row, four-row or n-row arrangements, are also possible, but with an increased space requirement.
- the distance between the coupling slots and the end of the resonator is essentially (2n-1) * ⁇ / 4, where ⁇ represents the wavelength of the emitted microwave radiation and n is a natural number.
- the vias enclose the coupling slots along a substantially rectangular circumferential line.
- the distance between the coupling slots and the edge of the plated-through holes perpendicular to the slot direction is preferably essentially 2n * ⁇ / 4, where ⁇ is the wavelength of the emitted microwave radiation and n is a natural one Represents number.
- a particularly high transmission of the energy to the complete slot is achieved by the measure of claim 9, according to which the vias enclose the coupling slots along a circumferential line bulged in the middle of the slot.
- the distance in the middle of the slots is slightly larger than 2n * ⁇ / 4 and outside the center slightly smaller than 2n * ⁇ / 4.
- ⁇ represents the wavelength of the emitted microwave radiation and n is a natural number.
- the plated-through holes enclose the coupling slots along a circumferential line with rounded corners.
- two rows of plated-through holes at a distance of half a wavelength can be provided.
- the embodiments according to the invention offer a completely planar structure of the antenna arrangement without a need for holes or cavities, simple and inexpensive implementation in LTCC technology, complete shielding from other circuit parts and the recovery of scattered fields. This increases the radiated power and thus the efficiency of the antennas.
- Figure 1 is a plan view of a planar antenna arrangement according to an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a planar antenna arrangement 100 according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the antenna arrangement 100 has an LTCC substrate 10 with an upper ground layer 12 and a lower ground layer not visible in the illustration in FIG. 1.
- a plurality of rectangular through-contacts 14 connect the upper to the lower ground layer.
- the antenna arrangement 100 also contains a microstrip feed network 16, which in the exemplary embodiment supplies four buried feed lines 18, each of which leads to one of four coupling slots 20 for coupling out the microwave radiation into the free space.
- Four coplanar waveguides 22 are arranged in the LTCC substrate 10 between the feed lines 18 and the feed network value 16.
- the vias 14 include the coupling slots 20 in the slot direction with a distance 24 of approximately ⁇ / 2, and perpendicular to the slot direction with distances 26 and 28 of approximately 0.8 * ⁇ / 2 and 1, 3 * ⁇ / 2, respectively.
- FIG. 2 shows different variants of the shielding through the plated-through holes for an antenna array with four elements.
- the coupling slots 20 are enclosed by a single-row arrangement of vias 30 in the form of a rectangle.
- the distance 32 between the coupling slots 20 and the plated-through holes in the slot direction is approximately 0.1 * ⁇ / 2.
- the distance 34 between the upper and lower via rows is approximately one wavelength.
- FIG. 2 (b) shows an alternative embodiment in which the coupling slots 20 are enclosed by two-row via arrangements 36 with the distances unchanged compared to FIG. 2 (a).
- the two rows of vias are aligned with each other, that is, a parallel in the slot direction either meets both or neither of the rows of vias.
- a likewise possible mutually offset arrangement of the via rows 38 is shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 2 (d).
- 2 (c) is optimized for the most compact dimensions, the four array elements in FIG. 2 (d) are distributed over the entire circuit width B.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 Further advantageous arrangement variants for the plated-through holes are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- value was placed on the most compact dimensions, while the structures of FIG. 4 were optimized for maximum gain.
- FIGS. 3 (a) and 4 (a) each show, similar to FIG. 2 (a), an arrangement in which the coupling slots 20 are enclosed by a single-row arrangement of through-contacts 40 in the form of a rectangle.
- the distance between the coupling slots 20 and the edge of the plated-through holes 40 perpendicular to the slot direction is approximately ⁇ / 2.
- the coupling slots 20 are enclosed by the plated-through holes 42 along a circumferential line bulged out at the center of the slot.
- the distance between the coupling slots 20 and the edge of the plated-through holes 42 is somewhat larger than ⁇ / 2 in the middle of the slots and somewhat smaller than ⁇ / 2 outside the center. This results in a very good concentration of the energy over the entire coupling slot 20.
- FIGS. 3 (c) or 4 (c) and 3 (d) or 4 (d) are analogous to the structures of FIGS. 3 (a) or 4 (a) and 3 (b) or 4 (b), with the single-row arrangement being replaced by a double-row arrangement of the plated-through holes 44 and 46, respectively.
- the variants according to FIGS. 3 (e) and 4 (e) include the energy in the outer corners. Due to the rounded corners of the circumferential line of the via arrangements 48, the lateral stray energy is reflected back onto the coupling slot 20 and used.
- the via arrangements 50 of the structures according to FIGS. 3 (f) and 4 (f) combine the advantages of the peripheral line bulged in the middle according to FIGS. 3 (d) and 4 (d) with the rounded corner guide of FIG. 3 (e). or 4 (e) and lead to a particularly good efficiency of the antennas. While the invention has been shown and described in particular with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that changes in form and details can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the disclosure of the present invention is not intended to be limiting. Instead, the disclosure of the present invention is intended to illustrate the scope of the invention, which is set forth in the following claims.
