Definitions

  • the invention relates to an antenna window with a high-frequency electrical component fixedly disposed on one of its surfaces and a conductor structure which is electrically connected to the component.
  • the DE-A1-198 23,202 discloses a vehicle antenna device, in which the foot connections of all the antennas arranged on a transparent glass pane (gathered together) at contact points of a contact field are surrounded by a plastic base disposed on the surface of the window, in which a high frequency component, for example an amplifier, is detachably fixed.
  • a high frequency component for example an amplifier
  • spring contacts are used here. These are simple to assemble and disassemble, but they are at the same time relatively sensitive to corrosion and mechanical vibrations that occur.
  • the DE-A1-198 56 663 discloses a device for contacting an antenna disposed on a window pane with an amplifier housing fixed to the window pane.
  • the connection zone is surrounded by a layer of adhesive, while the electrical contacts are preferably made by brazing.
  • the US Patent 6,087,996 shows a similar arrangement with spring contacts, wherein the amplifier housing is detachably attached to the glass surface with a Velcro fastener.
  • the document DE-A1-198 58,299 shows an antenna system for a data communication device in a vehicle: on both sides of a dielectric mounting surface such as glazing, can be connected together by capacitive coupling of antenna system components arranged on flat coupling electrodes.
  • the documents US 4931805 and US 4931806 describe a telephone antenna placed on the window of a vehicle: an outer module carries the antenna while an inner module is connected to this antenna by capacitive signal transmission.
  • the glazing is used as a dielectric. Both modules are attached to the glazing surfaces by double-sided tape.
  • the object of the invention is to provide, from a known window with a high-frequency component, another connection variant for contacting the high-frequency component disposed on the surface of the window.
  • this objective is achieved by using an antenna pane according to claim 1.
  • a multitude of antenna signals can also be transmitted capacitively in a high frequency component, with negligible damping losses, even without clean contact points, by means of a flat electrode.
  • a flat conductor structure leading the antenna signals.
  • This may be diversity antenna signals for radio and TV reception. It can also be more combined radio / TV and radiotelephone signals, GPS and the like. These signals can be filtered and exploited separately in the high-frequency component by means of suitable components, in particular amplified and restored later.
  • the two coupling electrodes must completely overlap, because the capacitance is proportional to the surface of the electrodes. Incomplete overlap leads to a reduction in coupling capacity and thus to an increase in low frequency damping. It will be possible to ensure said covering as a rule in that the conductor structure used as a coupling point is extended on the surface of the pane in the form of a coupling electrode, respectively surface associated, of such so that small differences of position remain harmless.
  • the high frequency component can be realized under the shape of a simple plate without galvanic contact towards the glass.
  • the high frequency component will be glued to the surface of the glass.
  • it includes its own housing, only external electrical connections must still be made after bonding.
  • the high-frequency component does not have its own housing, it can - naturally after a thorough operation check - be overmolded durably with an appropriate mass.
  • the ambient influences are thus substantially hermetically removed, although the high-frequency component must not itself have a clean sheath. This also contributes to the decrease of its projection above the surface of the window. Precisely in the case of application of the antenna window in a vehicle, reliable protection against moisture and water vapor is essential.
  • the width of the capacitive transmission zone is achieved by means of a double-sided adhesive tape of defined thickness, which on the one hand directly forms a dielectric intermediate layer between the conductor structure on the side of the glass and the electrode coupling of the high frequency component. On the other hand, the fixing of the high frequency component is in this way very greatly simplified.
  • the material of the adhesive tape provides long-lasting compliance with the desired width, respectively the distance of the electrodes from the capacitive transmission area.
  • the high frequency component may also include, for example, one or more tuners and the like in addition to one or more amplifiers.
  • the replacement of a possibly defective component is not particularly complicated.
  • the overmolding mass can be removed, possibly together with the component that has become unusable, and the bonded assembly can be removed, with no particular operation necessary to detach the contacts, just as with spring contacts.
  • the transmission of the signals from the conductor structure to the coupling electrode under the high-frequency component is not limited to a single zone or transmission capacity.
  • several coupling points can thus be locally close on a glass surface.
  • the signals carried by them are coupled in parallel in the high frequency component covering this plurality of transmission capacities by means of a corresponding number of coupling electrodes individually associated spatially and functionally.
  • the single figure shows, in a simplified representation (without a particular scale), a section through the edge region of an antenna window, on which a high frequency component is durably fixed by means of an adhesive tape.
  • double sided a section through the edge region of an antenna window, on which a high frequency component is durably fixed by means of an adhesive tape.
  • a transparent monolithic glass pane 1 carries, near the edge of one of its surfaces, both an opaque coating 2 and a conductor structure electrically conductive 3 disposed on the latter.
  • the opaque coating and the conductor structure are preferably made in known manner by screen printing with corresponding pastes, which can then be fired (on a glass pane).
  • Opaque coating 2 must not be electrically conductive.
  • the conductor structure 3 is preferably made in a known manner with a screen paste of high silver content, as is known by current collector strips for printed and baked heating conductors or also for heating layers. on car windows.
  • the conductor structure 3 can also, in the present case of application, have another function of being a collector array of this type.
  • antenna structures can also be used as heating elements, when they are supplied with a supply voltage from the on-board network.
  • Between the conductor structure 3 and the adhesive strip could be, according to the end customer's request, another visually opaque masking layer, which is not electrically conductive.
  • this device In the mounted state of the antenna pane 1 in a vehicle body (not shown), this device is generally located on a surface facing the interior of the vehicle, and is masked inwards by a coating inside.
  • the opaque coating 2 hides the conductor structure 3 and the RF high frequency component visually outwardly.
  • the adhesive strip 4 forms a dielectric separation layer of defined thickness between the conductor structure 3 and the flat electrode 5. Its thickness determines the distance of the two electrodes, which should not exceed about 0.5 mm, and thus takes a decisive part in the capacitive transmission behavior of the device.
  • the conductor structure 3 serves as the first electrode of a capacitive coupling of signals in the high-frequency component HF by the flat electrode 5.
  • the thickness of the electrode can range from 10 to 100 ⁇ m and the surface area is about 900 mm 2 . In the case of the example, the latter has a length of about 100 mm, a width of 10 mm and a thickness of 35 microns.
  • the conductor structure at this point has a width of more than 10 mm and a thickness of 4 - 15 ⁇ m with a silver content of> 70% and a specific resistance of 2.85 - 5.45 * 10 -6 [ ⁇ * cm].
  • the geometric dimensions of the hardware components can be kept constant in narrow tolerances. It is important that the layer adhesive does not allow penetration of moisture.
  • the flat electrode 5 is on the other side connected to a relatively thick elastic layer 6, preferably glued again, which can and must compensate for slight curvatures of the surface of the glass 1.
  • the flat electrode 5 itself is thin enough to follow any significant curvature of the surface in practice. These bends therefore have only a negligible influence on the width of the slot respectively on the thickness of the adhesive strip 4.
  • a carrier plate 7 which forms the mechanical rear armature of the high frequency component HF.
  • this carrier plate may be rigid or flexible.
  • a signaling cable 9 is electrically connected to the carrier plate, respectively to conductive tracks formed thereon. Signals are transmitted by this signal cable 9 (shielded) more than 5 ⁇ m thick to downstream devices not shown here (radio or TV receivers, telephones, etc.); in addition, it serves to supply the RF high frequency component with electrical current and possibly to connect it to the ground.
  • All this device is coated with an overmolding mass 10, which firmly adheres to the surface of the antenna pane 1, respectively to the opaque coating 2 and hermetically protects the high-frequency component HF against moisture and fouling.
