Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to wireless communications networks, and more particularly to a system and method for an omnidirectional planar antenna apparatus with selectable elements.
- an access point i.e., base station
- one or more remote receiving nodes e.g., a network interface card
- the wireless link may be susceptible to interference from other access points, other radio transmitting devices, changes or disturbances in the wireless nine environment between the access point and the remote receiving node, and so on.
- the interference may be such to degrade the wireless link, for example by forcing communication at a lower data rate, or may be sufficiently strong to completely disrupt the wireless link.
- One solution for reducing interference in the wireless link between the access point and the remote receiving node is to provide several omnidirectional antennas for the access point, in a "diversity" scheme.
- a common configuration for the access point comprises a data source coupled via a switching network to two or more physically separated omnidirectional antennas.
- the access point may select one of the omnidirectional antennas by which to maintain the wireless link. Because of the separation between the omnidirectional antennas, each antenna experiences a different signal environment, and each antenna contributes a different interference level to the wireless link.
- the switching network couples the data source to whichever of the omnidirectional antennas experiences the least interference in the wireless link.
- omnidirectional antennas are vertically polarized.
- Vertically polarized radio frequency (RF) energy does not travel as efficiently as horizontally polarized RF energy inside a typical office or dwelling space, additionally, most of the laptop computer wireless cards have horizontally polarized antennas.
- Typical solutions for creating horizontally polarized RF antennas to date have been expensive to manufacture, or do not provide adequate RF performance to be commercially successful.
- the omnidirectional antenna typically comprises an upright wand attached to a housing of the access point.
- the wand typically comprises a hollow metallic rod exposed outside of the housing, and may be subject to breakage or damage.
- each omnidirectional antenna comprises a separate unit of manufacture with respect to the access point, thus requiring extra manufacturing steps to include the omnidirectional antennas in the access point.
- a still further problem with the two or more omnidirectional antennas is that because the physically separated antennas may still be relatively close to each other, each of the several antennas may experience similar levels of interference and only a relatively small reduction in interference may be gained by switching from one omnidirectional antenna to another omnidirectional antenna.
- phased array antenna can be extremely expensive to manufacture. Further, the phased array antenna can require many phase tuning elements that may drift or otherwise become maladjusted.
- An antenna apparatus comprises a substrate having a first side and a second side substantially parallel to the first side.
- Each of a plurality of antenna elements on the first side are configured to be selectively coupled to a communication device and form a first portion of a modified dipole having a directional radiation pattern.
- a ground component on the second side is configured to form a second portion of the modified dipole.
- each of the plurality of antenna elements is on the same side of the substrate.
- an antenna element selecting device may selectively couple one or more of the antenna elements to the communication device.
- the antenna apparatus may form an omnidirectional radiation pattern when two or more of the antenna elements are coupled to the communication device.
- the antenna element may comprise one or more reflectors and/or directors configured to concentrate the directional radiation pattern of one or more of the modified dipoles.
- a combined radiation pattern resulting from two or more antenna elements being coupled to the communication device may be more directional or less directional than the radiation pattern of a single antenna element.
- the combined radiation pattern may also be offset in direction.
- the plurality of antenna elements may be conformally mounted to a housing containing the communication device and the antenna apparatus.
- a system comprises a communication device for generating a radio frequency signal, a first means for generating a first directional radiation pattern, a second means for generating a second directional radiation pattern, and a selecting means for receiving a radio frequency signal from the communication device and selectively coupling the first means and/or the second means to the communication device.
- the second directional radiation pattern may be offset in direction from the first directional radiation pattern.
- the second directional radiation pattern may be more directional than the first directional radiation pattern, less directional than the first directional radiation pattern, or offset in direction and directivity as the first directional radiation pattern.
- the first means and the second means may form an omnidirectional radiation pattern when coupled to the communication device.
- the system may include means for concentrating the directional radiation pattern of the first means.
- a method comprises generating the radio frequency signal in the communication device and coupling at least one of the plurality of coplanar antenna elements to the communication device to result in the directional radiation pattern substantially in the plane of the antenna elements.
- the method may comprise coupling two or more of the plurality of coplanar antenna elements to the communication device to result in an omnidirectional radiation pattern.
- the method may comprise concentrating the directional radiation pattern with one or more directors and/or reflectors.
- Coupling at least one of the plurality of coplanar antenna elements to the communication device may comprise biasing a PIN diode or virtually any other means of switching RF energy.
- the method may comprise coupling at least two of the plurality of coplanar antenna elements to the communication device to result in a more directional radiation pattern.
- the method may further comprise coupling at least two of the plurality of coplanar antenna elements to the communication device to result in a less directional radiation pattern.

If all elements are switched on, the planar antenna apparatus forms an omnidirectional radiation pattern. In some embodiments, if two or more of the elements is switched on, the planar antenna apparatus may form a substantially omnidirectional radiation pattern.
- the system may select a particular configuration of selected antenna elements that minimizes interference over the wireless link to the remote receiving device. If the wireless link experiences interference, for example due to other radio transmitting devices, or changes or disturbances in the wireless link between the system and the remote receiving device, the system may select a different configuration of selected antenna elements to change the resulting radiation pattern and minimize the interference.
- the system may select a configuration of selected antenna elements corresponding to a maximum gain between the system and the remote receiving device.
- the system may select a configuration of selected antenna elements corresponding to less than maximal gain, but corresponding to reduced interference in the wireless link.
- the planar antenna apparatus radiates the directional radiation pattern substantially in the plane of the antenna elements.
- planar antenna apparatus When mounted horizontally, the RF signal transmission is horizontally polarized, so that RP signal transmission indoors is enhanced as compared to a vertically polarized antenna.
- the planar antenna apparatus is easily manufactured from common planar substrates such as an FR4 printed circuit board (PCB). Further, the planar antenna apparatus may be integrated into or conformally mounted to a housing of the system, to minimize cost and to provide support for the planar antenna apparatus.
- PCB printed circuit board

- the planar antenna apparatus 110 may include an antenna element selecting device configured to selectively couple one or more of the antenna elements to the communication device 120.
- FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B illustrate the planar antenna apparatus 110 of FIG. 1, in one embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 of this embodiment includes a substrate (considered as the plane of FIGs. 2 A and 2B) having a first side (e.g., FIG. 2A) and a second side (e.g., FIG. 2B) substantially parallel to the first side.
- the substrate comprises a PCB such as FR4, Rogers 4003, or other dielectric material.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 of FIG. 2 A includes a radio frequency feed port 220 and four antenna elements 205a-2O5d. As described with respect to FIG. 4, although four antenna elements are depicted, more or fewer antenna elements are contemplated. Although the antenna elements 205a-205d of FIG. 2A are oriented substantially on diagonals of a square shaped planar antenna so as to- minimize the size of the planar antenna apparatus 110, other shapes are contemplated. Further, although the antenna elements 205a-205d form a radially symmetrical layout about the radio frequency feed port 220, a number of non-symmetrical layouts, rectangular layouts, and layouts symmetrical in only one axis, are contemplated. Furthermore, the antenna elements 205a-205d need not be of identical dimension, although depicted as such in FIG. 2A.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 includes a ground component 225. It will be appreciated that a portion (e.g., the portion 230a) of the ground component 225 is configured to form an arrow- shaped bent dipole in conjunction with the antenna element 205a. The resultant bent dipole provides a directional radiation pattern substantially in the plane of the planar antenna apparatus 110, as described further with respect to FIG. 3.
- FIGs. 2C and 2D illustrate dimensions for several components of the planar antenna apparatus 110, in one embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
- the dimensions of the individual components of the planar antenna apparatus 110 depend upon a desired operating frequency of the planar antenna apparatus 110.
- the dimensions of the individual components maybe established by use of RF simulation software, such as IE3D from Zeland Software of Fremont, CA.
- IE3D IE3D from Zeland Software of Fremont, CA.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 incorporating the components of dimension according to FIGs. 2C and 2D is designed for operation near 2.4GHz, based on a substrate PCB of Rogers 4003 material, but it will be appreciated by an antenna designer of ordinary skill that a different substrate having different dielectric properties, such as FR4, may require different dimensions than those shown in FIGs. 2C and 2D.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 may optionally include one or more directors 210, one or more gain directors 215, and/or one or more Y-shaped reflectors 235 (e.g., the Y-shaped reflector 235b depicted in FIGs. 2B and 2D).
- the directors 210, the gain directors 215, and the Y-shaped reflectors 235 comprise passive elements that concentrate the directional radiation pattern of the dipoles formed by the antenna elements 205a-205d in conjunction with the portions 230a-230d.
- providing a director 210 for each antenna element 205a-205d yields an additional 1-2 dB of gain for each dipole.
- the directors 210 and/or the gain directors 215 may be placed on either side of the substrate. In some embodiments, the portion of the substrate for the directors 210 and/or gain directors 215 is scored so that the directors 210 and/or gain directors 215 may be removed. It will also be appreciated that additional directors (depicted in a position shown by dashed line 211 for the antenna element 205b) and/or additional gain directors (depicted in a position shown by a dashed line 216) may be included to further concentrate the directional radiation pattern of one or more of the dipoles.
- the Y-shaped reflectors 235 will be further described herein.
- the radio frequency feed port 220 is configured to receive an RF signal from and/or transmit an RF signal to the communication device 120 of FIG. 1.
- An antenna element selector (not shown) may be used to couple the radio frequency feed port 220 to one or more of the antenna elements 205a-205d.
- the antenna element selector may comprise an RF switch (not shown), such as a PEN diode, a GaAs FET, or virtually any RF switching device, as is well known in the art.
- the antenna element selector comprises four PIN diodes, each PIN diode connecting one of the antenna elements 205a-205d to the radio frequency feed port 220.
- the PEN diode comprises a single-pole single-throw switch to switch each antenna element either on or off (i.e., couple or decouple each of the antenna elements 205a-205d to the radio frequency feed port 220).
- a series of control signals (not shown) is used to bias each PEN diode. With the PEN diode forward biased and conducting a DC current, the PEN diode switch is on, and the corresponding antenna element is selected. With the diode reverse biased, the PEN diode switch is off.
- the radio frequency feed port 220 and the PEN diodes of the antenna element selector are on the side of the substrate with the antenna elements 205a-205d, however, other embodiments separate the radio frequency feed port 220, the antenna element selector, and the antenna elements 205a- 205d.
- the antenna element selector comprises one or more single- pole multiple-throw switches.
- one or more light emitting diodes are coupled to the antenna element selector as a visual indicator of which of the antenna elements 205a-205d is on or off.
- a light emitting diode is placed in circuit with the PIN diode so that the light emitting diode is lit when the corresponding antenna element 205 is selected.
- the antenna components are formed from RF conductive material.
- the antenna elements 205a-205d and the ground component 225 may be formed from metal or other RF conducting foil.
- each antenna element 205a-205d is coplanar with the ground component 225.
- the antenna components may be conformally mounted to the housing of the system 100.
- the antenna element selector comprises a separate structure (not shown) from the antenna elements 205a-205d.
- the antenna element selector may be mounted on a relatively small PCB, and the PCB may be electrically coupled to the antenna elements 205a-205d. In some embodiments, the switch PCB is soldered directly to the antenna elements 205a-205d.
- the Y-shaped reflectors 235 e.g., the reflectors 235a
- the bent dipole e.g., the antenna element 205a in conjunction with the portion 230a of the ground component 225.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 is designed to operate over a frequency range of about 2.4GHz to 2.4835GHz, for wireless LAN in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard.
- the reflectors 235a-235d broaden the frequency response of each dipole to about 300 MHz (12.5% of the center frequency) to 500 MHz (-20% of the center frequency).
- the combined operational bandwidth of the planar antenna apparatus 110 resulting from coupling more than one of the antenna elements 205a-205d to the radio frequency feed port 220 is less than the bandwidth resulting from coupling only one of the antenna elements 205a-205d to the radio frequency feed port 220.
- the combined frequency response of the planar antenna apparatus 110 is about 90 MHz.
- coupling more than one of the antenna elements 205a-205d to the radio frequency feed port 220 maintains a match with less than 1OdB return loss over 802.11 wireless LAN frequencies, regardless of the number of antenna elements 205a-205d that are switched on.
- FIG. 3 A illustrates various radiation patterns resulting from selecting different antenna elements of the planar antenna apparatus 110 of FIG. 2, in one embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 3 A depicts the radiation pattern in azimuth (e.g., substantially in the plane of the substrate of FIG. 2).
- a line 300 displays a generally cardioid directional radiation pattern resulting from selecting a single antenna element (e.g., the antenna element 205a). As shown, the antenna element 205a alone yields approximately 5 dBi of gain.
- a dashed line 305 displays a similar directional radiation pattern, offset by approximately 90 degrees, resulting from selecting an adjacent antenna element (e.g., the antenna element 205b).
- a line 310 displays a combined radiation pattern resulting from selecting the two adjacent antenna elements 205a and 205b.
- enabling the two adjacent antenna elements 205a and 205b results in higher directionality in azimuth as compared to selecting either of the antenna elements 205a or 205b alone, with approximately 5.6 dBi gain.
- the radiation pattern of FIG. 3 A in azimuth illustrates how the selectable antenna elements 205a-205d may be combined to result in various radiation patterns for the planar antenna apparatus 110.
- the combined radiation pattern resulting from two or more adjacent antenna elements e.g., the antenna element 205a and the antenna element 205b
- the radio frequency feed port is more directional than the radiation pattern of a single antenna element.
- the selectable antenna elements 205a-205d may be combined to result in a combined radiation pattern that is less directional than the radiation pattern of a single antenna element. For example, selecting all of the antenna elements 205a-205d results in a substantially omnidirectional radiation pattern that has less directionality than that of a single antenna element. Similarly, selecting two or more antenna elements (e.g., the antenna element 205a and the antenna element 205c on opposite diagonals of the substrate) may result in a substantially omnidirectional radiation pattern.
- selecting a subset of the antenna elements 205a-205d, or substantially all of the antenna elements 205a-205d, may result in a substantially omnidirectional radiation pattern for the planar antenna apparatus 110.
- additional directors e.g., the directors 211
- gain directors e.g., the gain directors 216
- removing or eliminating one or more of the directors 211, the gain directors 216, or the Y-shaped reflectors 235 expands the directional radiation pattern of one or more of the antenna elements 205a-205d in azimuth.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 may be advantageously configured, for example, to reduce interference in the wireless link between the system 100 of FIG. 1 and a remote receiving node.
- the antenna element 205a corresponding to the line 300 yields approximately the same gain in the direction of the remote receiving node as the antenna element 205b corresponding to the line 305.
- selecting the antenna element 205a yields approximately a 4 dB signal strength reduction for the interferer as opposed to selecting the antenna element 205b.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 may be configured (e.g., by switching one or more of the antenna elements 205a-205d on or off) to reduce interference in the wireless link between the system 100 and one or more remote receiving nodes.
- FIG. 3B illustrates an elevation radiation pattern for the planar antenna apparatus 110 of FIG. 2.
- the plane of the planar antenna apparatus 110 corresponds to a line from 0 to 180 degrees in the figure.
- additional directors e.g., the directors 211
- gain directors e.g., the gain directors 216
- the system 110 maybe located on a floor of a building to establish a wireless local area network with one or more remote receiving nodes on the same floor.
- Including the additional directors 211 and/or gain directors 216 in the planar antenna apparatus 110 further concentrates the wireless link to substantially the same floor, and minimizes interference from RF sources on other floors of the building.
- FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B illustrate an alternative embodiment of the planar antenna apparatus 110 of FIG. 1, in accordance with the present invention.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 On the first side of the substrate as shown in FIG. 4A, the planar antenna apparatus 110 includes a radio frequency feed port 420 and six antenna elements (e.g., the antenna element 405).
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 On the second side of the substrate, as shown in FIG. 4B, the planar antenna apparatus 110 includes a ground component 425 incorporating a number of Y-shaped reflectors 435. It will be appreciated that a portion (e.g., the portion 430) of the ground component 425 is configured to form an arrow-shaped bent dipole in conjunction with the antenna element 405.
- a portion e.g., the portion 430
- the resultant bent dipole has a directional radiation pattern.
- the six antenna element embodiment provides a larger number of possible combined radiation patterns.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 of FIG. 4 may optionally include one or more directors (not shown) and/or one or more gain directors 415.
- the directors and the gain directors 415 comprise passive elements that concentrate the directional radiation pattern of the antenna elements 405. In one embodiment, providing a director for each antenna element yields an additional 1-2 dB of gain for each element. It will be appreciated that the directors and/or the gain directors 415 may be placed on either side of the substrate.
- the system 100 may select a different configuration of selected antenna elements to change the radiation pattern of the planar antenna apparatus 110 and minimize the interference in the wireless link.
- the system 100 may select a configuration of selected antenna elements corresponding to a maximum gain between the system and the remote receiving node.
- the system may select a configuration of selected antenna elements corresponding to less than maximal gain, but corresponding to reduced interference.
- all or substantially all of the antenna elements may be selected to form a combined omnidirectional radiation pattern.
- a further advantage of the planar antenna apparatus 110 is that RF signals travel better indoors with horizontally polarized signals. Typically, network interface cards (NICs) are horizontally polarized. Providing horizontally polarized signals with the planar antenna apparatus 110 improves interference rejection (potentially, up to 2OdB) from RF sources that use commonly-available vertically polarized antennas.
- NICs network interface cards
- Another advantage of the system 100 is that the planar antenna apparatus 110 includes switching at RF as opposed to switching at baseband. Switching at RF means that the communication device 120 requires only one RF up/down converter. Switching at RF also requires a significantly simplified interface between the communication device 120 and the planar antenna apparatus 110.
- the planar antenna apparatus provides an impedance match under all configurations of selected antenna elements, regardless of which antenna elements are selected.
- a match with less than 1OdB return loss is maintained under all configurations of selected antenna elements, over the range of frequencies of the 802.11 standard, regardless of which antenna elements are selected.
- a still further advantage of the system 100 is that, in comparison for example to a phased array antenna with relatively complex phase switching elements, switching for the planar antenna apparatus 110 is performed to form the combined radiation pattern by merely switching antenna elements on or off. No phase variation, with attendant phase matching complexity, is required in the planar antenna apparatus 110.
- Yet another advantage of the planar antenna apparatus 110 on PCB is that the planar antenna apparatus 110 does not require a 3-dimensional manufactured structure, as would be required by a plurality of "patch" antennas needed to form an omnidirectional antenna.
- the planar antenna apparatus 110 may be constructed on PCB so that the entire planar antenna apparatus 110 can be easily manufactured at low cost.
- planar antenna apparatus 110 comprises a square or rectangular shape, so that the planar antenna apparatus 110 is easily panelized.
- the invention has been described herein in terms of several preferred embodiments. Other embodiments of the invention, including alternatives, modifications, permutations and equivalents of the embodiments described herein, will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification, study of the drawings, and practice of the invention. The embodiments and preferred features described above should be considered exemplary, with the invention being defined by the appended claims, which therefore include all such alternatives, modifications, permutations and equivalents as fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.
