Definitions
- the invention relates to a combination antenna for mobile radio services/or mobile radio and radio services.
- Antennas for mobile radio services from the prior art are designed as connected electrically conductive structures, for example made of sheet metal.
- Such antennas can be manufactured economically and even have the advantageous property of three-dimensional configurability.
- the mechanical combination of several antennas of this type which can be produced cheaply, using this technology to form a combined antenna system consisting of a number of individual antennas, remains economically complex.
- Antennas are also known which are made from flat plastic plates coated with electrical conductors, the electrically conductive antenna elements being printed on.
- the advantage of this antenna technology lies in the accuracy and variety with which the natural frequency-sensitive structures can be reproduced. Subject to reasonable manufacturing costs, these antennas are limited to two-dimensional structures.
- Another disadvantage - as with antennas made of connected electrically conductive structures - is the high manufacturing costs associated with the space-saving physical and mechanical combination of several such antennas on the vehicle in mass production.
- the area required on the vehicle surface, the overall height, its aerodynamic shape and its wind resistance value are particularly important for the use of antennas on vehicles. However, because of the large quantities that are customary in vehicle construction, particular importance is attached to the economics of producing such an antenna.
- the large number of modern mobile networks requires extreme bandwidth antennas.
- a frequency range between 698 and 960 MHz is provided - hereinafter referred to as the lower band - and above a frequency gap the frequency range between 1460 MHz and 2700 MHz, hereinafter referred to as the upper band, is provided, as in Figure 1c shown.
- a middle band in the frequency range between 1460 MHz and 1700 MHz is often provided, which is assigned to the upper band.
- the frequency gap between the lower band and the upper band is desired to protect against the radio services located there.

- a particular advantage of a combination antenna 1 according to the invention is the possibility of placing multiple antennas for different frequency ranges and/or different radio services in a particularly compact manner on a common mechanical support. Particular space savings result from the possibility of using antenna structures 2 several times in some cases for the design of the different antennas.
- the combination of all the antennas to form the combination antenna 1 on a plastic film 3 printed on one or both sides with a highly conductive material structure and having a thickness between, for example, 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm enables particularly inexpensive production in a single printing process.
- the subsequent bending along less straight folds or bending lines 9 around previously known bending angles 35 is also extremely inexpensive for mass production using the simplest production machines.
- the mechanical fixing and contacting with a base plate 5 designed as a conductively coated printed circuit board 22 with the slot-shaped collecting device 30 with contact elements 45 at the antenna connection points 4 can be carried out in a particularly simple manner without complex soldering.
- the entire manufacturing process for the combination antenna 1 according to the invention is particularly suitable for mass production for vehicles.
- the longitudinal direction 10 of the foil tube 8 with the protective antenna cover 11 is advantageously oriented in the direction of travel 26 .
- cone-shaped monopole antennas are particularly suitable for frequencies above 1 GHz, i.e. for the LTE upper band.
- the three-dimensional design of the foil tube 8 according to the invention in Fig. 1a advantageously enables the realization of an antenna which approximates the antenna shape of a cone.
- a monopole with the shape of an inverse pyramid is formed, which corresponds to the desired conical shape also with regard to the electrical behavior approaches.
- a monopole antenna 14 is designed as an LTE sub-band antenna 52 for frequencies below 1 GHz, consisting of the top capacitance 15 and the printed conductor track to the connection pad 23. This antenna is arranged in a space-saving manner in such a way that the roof capacitance 15 designed as a longitudinally extended conductor structure 16 covers the LTE high-band antenna 51 at a sufficient distance.
- the cross section of the film tube 8 is adapted to the shape of the inner surface 28 in such a way that by bending the plastic film 3 along the bending lines 9 there are contact points 27 of the film tube 8 with the inner surface 28 of the protective antenna hood 11 and thus a mechanical fixation against vibrations is provided.
- This fixation is also effective when the contact with the inner surface 28 is not strictly given, but that due to an existing residual distance, the amplitude of the foil tube 8 is small enough in the event of vibrations not to impair the electrical properties of the combination antenna 1.
- the foil tube 8 can be fixed mechanically via connection pads 24 with the aid of soldering support points—embodied on the electrically conductive base plate 5 .
- the foil tube is 8 in Figure 3a Carrier of two symmetrical versions of a combined LTE antenna 42 and an AM/FM monopole antenna 33 with a roof capacity connection point 36 approximately in the middle of the longitudinally extended conductor structure 16 as a roof capacity.
- the combined LTE antenna 42 is - as in figure 1 - Applied as conical monopole broadband antennas 18 for the LTE upper band on the V-shaped oriented surfaces 19 as triangular structures 20, so that they span an inverse pyramid, which resembles the shape of a cone.
- the printed conductor track 17 located at the end of the film tube 8 also leads to its connection pad 23 as a connection to the longitudinally extended conductor structure 16 in the upper area of the film tube 8 to form an LTE sub-band antenna 52.
- the connection pad 23 is therefore also the LTE antenna connection pad 32 for the combined LTE antenna 42.
- Two LTE low-band antennas 52, two LTE high-band antennas 51 and an AM/FM monopole antenna 33, that is to say a total of 5 antennas on the film tube 8, are thus implemented in an extremely space-saving manner.
- Their antenna structures 2 are electromagnetically coupled to one another due to the partial dual use and the small spatial distances from one another.
- the flat triangular structures 20 are formed by strip-shaped lamellae 39 arranged in a fan-like manner in the triangular plane and converging in the lower triangular apex.
- the electromagnetic decoupling of the roof capacitance connection points 36 spaced apart from one another is increased by the inductive effect of a meandering conductor structure 37.
- the inductive and capacitive effect of the meandering conductor structure 37 can be coordinated with the amplitude 38 and the conductor width of the meandering over the cross-sectional width 46 of the planar structure of the top capacitance 15 .
- This tuning can advantageously take place in such a way that with a suitable impedance termination of each of the two combined LTE antennas 42 located at the ends of the film tube 8 on the associated LTE antenna connection pad 32 for the FM antenna, the advantageous Function of a laterally symmetrical invert-F antenna on the AM/FM antenna connection pad 47 is achieved.
- FIG 4 shows that the flat plastic film 3 can be printed in a simple manner in order to proceed from it to the film tube 8 described.
- the figure shows the sectional view of the symmetrical version 1 with two combined LTE antennas and the central decoupling for the AM/FM monopole antenna 33.
- the plastic film 3 is designed as a rectangle with broad side edges 6a, 6b of equal length, the bending leads to the bending lines 9 as described to a film tube 8 that does not taper in the longitudinal direction 10.
- the result is a conical film tube 8 that tapers towards the front of the vehicle.
- the shape of the film tube 8 can advantageously be adapted to an antenna protective hood 11 predetermined by the design.
- figure 5 shows a sectional view variant according to the invention as in figure 4 with two combined LTE antennas 42 and central decoupling at the roof capacitance connection point 36 for the separate interconnect connection 41 towards the AM/FM antenna connection pad 47, however, with an irregular meander structure.
- figure 6 shows a sectional view variant according to the invention as in figure 4 with two combined LTE antennas 42 and with two approximately central decoupling at roof capacity connection points 36 at different points of the meandering conductor structure 37 on both sides.
- the foil tube 8 is formed by bending at the bending lines 9, the two AM/FM antenna connection pads 47 come together locally and are contacted together via the contact element 45 at the associated antenna connection point 4 when they are inserted into the slot-shaped receiving device 30.
- figure 7 shows a sectional view variant according to the invention as in figure 4 however, without a central roof capacitance connection point 36 of the separate conductor track connection 41 but with the common conductor track connection 17, 41 to design a common connection pad 32, 47 as an LTE antenna connection pad 32 and AM/FM antenna connection pad 47.
- a film tube 43 designed with an open tube jacket in the tube cross-section is designed with a plastic film 3 with shortened broad side edges 6a, 6b.
- the open tube jacket 13 is in Figure 8b inscribed in the inner cross-section of the protective antenna hood 11 in such a way that when only one of the two longitudinal side edges 7a is attached to the attachment line 44 at the height h1, it meets only one of the cross-sectional sides at contact points 27.
- the flat roof capacity 15 has reached the end 50 of the plastic film 3 .
- the invention therefore provides , the rectangular plastic film 3 - as in figure 10 shown - to expand on both sides by a first further conductive triangular structure 40 and attached to this by a second further triangular structure 40a.
- the expansion takes place in such a way that the triangular structure 40a is attached via a common connecting side 49 and that after the design of the open film tube 8 by approximately right-angled bending of the first further conductive triangular structure 40 along the broad side edge 6a and by approximately right-angled bending of the second further triangular structure 40a along the common connection side 49 of the two adjoining further triangular structures 40, 40a, the remaining triangular structure 20 and the second further triangular structure 40a are oriented in a V-shape to one another and the lower triangle tips 21 of all triangular structures 20, 40, 40a with the LTE antenna connection pad 32 are connected.
- Fig. 11 b the film tube 8 equipped with antenna structures is shown from the side. This shows how it is connected to the coated circuit board 22 . Additional circuit components, such as a satellite ring antenna 56a and a concentric satellite ring antenna 56b, can be attached to the coated printed circuit board 22 in a particularly advantageous manner. Corresponding cutouts 57 of the film tube 8 allow the film tube to be spatially combined with the coated printed circuit board 22. Using the electrical circuits designed as printed conductor tracks on the printed circuit board 22, antennas can be connected to one another, for example to design directivity. In modern communication systems, antenna technologies such as multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) and the use of highly complex multi-antenna systems come into question.
- MIMO multiple-input-multiple-output
- the Figures 12-14 show exemplary structures of combined LTE antennas 42, which can be applied to a film tube 8 advantageously, ie with little effort.
- the side view of a section of the film tube 8 with the structure of a combined LTE antenna 42 with an LTE connection pad 32 at the base to form the antenna connection point 4 on the electrically conductive base area 5 as a coated printed circuit board 22 is shown in each case.
- this value can be Invention can be achieved in its full implementation at the antenna connection point 4 already with an antenna height h of 6 cm.
- the properties of the monopole antenna 14 below 1 GHz are essentially determined by its antenna height h and by the size of the planar roof capacitance 15, the horizontal extension 16 of about 6 cm is much larger, i.e. at least three times larger than the vertical extension 61.
- A Although a significantly larger vertical extent 61 increases the capacitance value of the roof capacitance 15, it reduces the effective height of the monopole antenna 14, which, in contrast to the capacitance value, is the square of the formation of the frequency bandwidth of this antenna.
- Formation monopole broadband antenna for frequencies above 1GHZ 18 in figure 12 is essentially given by the planar triangular structure 20, provided that the inductive effect of the conductor strips 17 with a narrow strip line width 64 for separating radio signals with frequencies above 1 GHz from the top capacitance 15 is large enough.
- the invention provides for the conductor strips 17 to be provided with meandering embossments 62 .
- the functional division of the combined LTE antennas 42 into the monopole antenna 14 below 1 GHz and the monopole broadband antenna above 1 GHz 18 should not be viewed strictly. Rather, the transition between the effects is fluid and the subdivision is to be understood as a description of the main effects in the two frequency ranges.
- the mode of operation of the monopole broadband antenna above 1 GHz 18 located above the conductive base surface 2 is essentially given by the design of the flat triangular structure 20 .
- a planar triangular structure 4 standing on its apex with a triangular opening angle 53 is provided according to the invention, the apex of which is connected to the LTE antenna connection pad 32 .
- the antenna connection point 4 for the combined LTE antenna 42 is formed by this together with the ground connection point on the conductive base surface 5 .
- the height of the base line of the flat triangular structure 18 above the conductive base area 5 essentially forms the effective height of the monopole broadband antenna above 1 GHz 18, which essentially determines the frequency response.
- the height of the monopole broadband antenna should be above 1GHZ 18 at the upper LTE frequency limit should not be greater than about 1/3 of the free space wavelength. Values between 30 and 90 degrees have proven to be favorable as a triangle opening angle 12 .
- the resulting triangular structure 18, which has a broadband effect, makes it possible, for example, to comply with the requirement for impedance matching at the base point of VSWR ⁇ 2.5 in the frequency range above 1 GHz, which is also frequently made.
- a three-dimensional structure is formed for this, which is formed from the two-dimensional structure in the manner described above by the fact that on the opposite side the lower end V -shaped oriented surfaces 19 of the film tube 8 an approximately congruent triangular structure 20 is applied, so that instead of the planar triangular structure 18 an approximately conical structure is effective.
- the invention provides for the planar triangular structure 20 to be extended by strip-shaped lamellae 39 converging like a fan at the lower triangle tip, as shown in figure 13 shown to perform.
- the same structure By attaching the same structure to the opposite side of the V-shaped oriented surfaces 19 of the foil tube 8, an advantageous broadband quasi-conical monopole broadband antenna above 1 GHz 18 is simulated.
- this is according to the invention essentially by vertically electrically conductively separated strip-shaped, but connected at its upper end via a remaining strip 16 Roof slats 63, as in the figures 14 and 15 shown, executed.
- the further rectangular structure 69 is arranged at the minimum distance 68 essentially parallel to the first rectangular structure 16 and the further conductor strip 67 is designed to have a high impedance for frequencies above 1 GHz by selecting a sufficiently small strip line width 64 and by means of meandering characteristics 62 .
- the roof capacity 15 and the other rectangular structure 69 can be chosen to be different in size.
- the expansion of the frequency range at the lower end of the LTE frequency band can be optimized by selecting a suitable minimum distance 68 in connection with the horizontal extension of the further rectangular structure 69 .
- the capacitive coupling of the longitudinally extended conductor structure 16 of the top capacitance 15 with the further rectangular structure 69 connected to the ground 5 is particularly helpful according to the invention.
- a combination antenna in which the inner cross section of the dielectric antenna protective hood 11 is essentially the same as the cross section of a bell, which tapers towards the tip and the cross-sectional shape of the folded body 8 of the inner surface 28 of the antenna protective hood 11 is inscribed in such a way that at the height h1 suitable choice of the opening angle 53 of the tube jacket surfaces 19 meeting in a V-shape at the attachment line 44 on both cross-section sides at contact points 27 with the inner protective antenna cover 11 bending lines 9 and suitable bending angles 35 are designed and at the inner tip at the height h of the protective antenna cover 11 another Bending line with bending angle 35 is present in such a way that with a gabled roof-shaped design of the cross section of the folding body 8 for the flat design Roof capacity 15 is given both a sufficient width and the full utilization of the available height h under the protective antenna cover 11.
- a combination antenna in which, however, to further increase the effect of the roof capacitance 15 at a height h2 above the base plate 5, on the cross-section sides opposite to the cross-sectional center line 48, a further bending line 9 with contact on the inner antenna protective hood 11 and a corresponding Bending angle 35 is selected in such a way that a mansard roof-shaped design of the structure for the flat roof capacity 15 is achieved.
- a combination antenna in which the inner cross-section of the dielectric antenna protective hood 11 is essentially the same as that of a semicircle and, at a large number of heights h2, h3, h4,... above the base area, each having a further bending line touching the inner Antenna protective cover 11 is selected in such a way that the tube jacket 13 is nestled sequentially above the height h1 to the cross-section semicircle and the cross-sectional width 46 of the planar structure of the roof capacity 15 is designed to be effective.
- a combination antenna in which a conductive triangular structure 40 connected to the LTE antenna connection pad 32 is provided on one of the longitudinal ends of the folded body 8 to approximate a conical character of an LTE high-band antenna 31 with LTE antenna connection pad 32, so that after bending the conductive triangular structure 40 along a broad side edge 6a, two opposite conductive triangular structures 20 are supplemented by the further conductive triangular structure 40 in the sense of a cone simulation.
- a combination antenna in which the structures for designing the LTE antenna 42 are applied to one of the two sides of the tube casing 13 and to support the frequency range below 1 GHz on the opposite side of the tube casing 13 to the roof capacitance 15 at a minimum distance of 68 in There is a substantially rectangular further structure 69 which runs essentially parallel to the top capacitance 15 on the longitudinal side and is capacitively coupled to it, which is connected to a further conductor strip 67 which has a high resistance for frequencies above 1 GHz and is provided with a connection pad 23 at its lower end in order to form a ground connection 24 is.
