Abstract

Antenne (1) für den Empfang zirkular polarisierter Satellitenfunksignale umfassend wenigstens eine im Wesentlichen horizontal orientierte über einer leitenden Grundfläche (6) angeordneten Leiterschleife, mit einer mit einem Antennenanschluss (5) verbundenen Anordnung zur elektromagnetischen Erregung (3) der Leiterschleife. Die Leiterschleife ist als Ringleitungsstrahler (2) durch eine polygonale oder kreisförmige geschlossene Ringleitung in einer im Wesentlichen horizontalen Ebene mit der Höhe h über der leitenden Grundfläche (6) verlaufend gestaltet. Der Ringleitungsstrahler (2) bildet eine Resonanzstruktur und ist durch die elektromagnetische Erregung (3) in der Weise elektrisch erregt, dass sich auf der Ringleitung die Stromverteilung einer laufenden Leitungswelle in einer einzigen Umlaufrichtung einstellt, deren Phasenunterschied über einen Umlauf gerade M*2π beträgt, wobei M eine ganze Zahl ist und mindestens den Wert M = 2 besitzt. Zur Unterstützung der vertikal orientierten Anteile des elektromagnetischen Feldes ist mindestens ein am Umfang des Ringleitungsstrahlers (2) vertikaler und zur leitenden Grundfläche hin verlaufender Strahler (4) vorhanden, welcher sowohl mit dem Ringleitungsstrahler (2) als auch der elektrisch leitenden Grundfläche (6) elektromagnetisch verkoppelt ist. Die Höhe h ist kleiner als 1/5 der Freiraum-Wellenlänge λ.

Antenna (1) for receiving circularly polarized satellite radio signals comprising at least one substantially horizontally oriented conductor loop arranged above a conductive base surface (6), with an arrangement for electromagnetic excitation (3) of the conductor loop connected to an antenna connection (5). The conductor loop is designed as a ring line radiator (2) running through a polygonal or circular closed loop in a substantially horizontal plane with the height h above the conductive base (6). The ring line radiator (2) forms a resonant structure and is electrically excited by the electromagnetic excitation (3) in such a way that the current distribution of a traveling line wave in a single circulation direction, whose phase difference over a cycle is just M * 2π, on the ring line, where M is an integer and has at least the value M = 2. To support the vertically oriented portions of the electromagnetic field is at least one on the circumference of the ring line radiator (2) vertical and the conductive base surface extending radiator (4) present, which both with the ring line radiator (2) and the electrically conductive base (6) electromagnetically is coupled. The height h is less than 1/5 of the free space wavelength λ.
