Definitions
- the invention relates to an antenna arrangement for receiving circularly polarized satellite radio signals, in particular for satellite radio navigation.
- Satellite radio signals are usually transmitted with circularly polarized electromagnetic waves and are used for all known satellite navigation systems.
- Modern navigation systems provide, in particular for global accessibility in connection with high navigation accuracy in mobile navigation, to evaluate the radio signals received from several satellite navigation systems at the same time.
- GNSS Global Navigation Satellite System
- Satellite antennas for navigation on vehicles are usually on the electrically conductive outer skin of the Vehicle body built up.
- Circularly polarized satellite receiving antennas are used, such as those from the publications DE-A-10 2009 040 910 , DE-A-40 08 505 and DE-A-101 63 793 are known.
- Antennas which are particularly suitable for installation on vehicles are those which are characterized by a low overall height in connection with low-cost manufacturability. This includes, for example, those from the Pamphlet DE-A-10 2009 040 910 known circular, polygonal or square ring line antenna designed as a resonance structure with a small structural volume, which is particularly required for mobile applications.
- the antenna has a necessary conductive footprint of relatively small size and is very low with a height of less than one tenth of the free space wavelength.
- Patch antennas are known according to the prior art as further antennas for satellite navigation on vehicles, but these are less efficient in terms of reception at a low elevation angle.
- One of the challenges for satellite antennas for GNSS is the requirement for a large frequency bandwidth, which, for example, in GPS is through the frequency band L1 with the center frequency 1575 MHz (required bandwidth approx. 80 MHz) and the frequency band L2 with the center frequency 1227 MHz (required bandwidth approx. 53 MHz) is specified. This requirement is covered, for example, by separate antennas assigned to one of the two frequency bands L1 or L2, or by an antenna comprising both frequency bands.
- Prior art antennas of this type are known as patch antennas. However, these are less efficient in terms of reception at a low elevation angle. This disadvantage is partially remedied by ring line antennas, such as those in the DE-A-10 2009 040 910 are described. However, it is also desirable for such antennas to improve the cross-polarization distance, in particular in the area of low elevation angles.
- Satellite antennas are usually set up on horizontal surfaces of the electrically conductive outer skin of a vehicle.
- the immediate vicinity of the upper edge of the cutout of the rear window - that is, the rear edge of the roof - is often specified as a preferred location of such a satellite receiving antenna on the electrically conductive vehicle roof.
- the vehicle roof is curved and sloping towards the edge of the window, so that the satellite antenna is not set up on an azimuthally flat and completely horizontal conductive surface.
- This disturbance of the reception properties of the satellite antenna always arises in those cases in which the antenna is partially built in the vicinity of the edge area of the horizontal body surface.
- the US 2013/0500371 A1 discloses an antenna arrangement with a receiving antenna which is surrounded by a plurality of parasitic elements in the form of directors or reflectors, the latter being each provided with a plurality of switches in order to change the directional characteristic of the antenna.
- the EP 0 340 404 A2 discloses L-shaped parasitic elements for receiving circularly polarized waves.
- an antenna arrangement (1) for receiving circularly polarized satellite radio signals with free space wavelength ⁇ and frequency f comprises at least one circularly polarized satellite receiving antenna (2) positioned over an electrically conductive base surface (3), in particular for satellite navigation with a relative antenna height ha / ⁇ ⁇ 0.15, whose floor plan is a Circle K is inscribed around its phase center PZ with the relative antenna radius ra / ⁇ ⁇ 0.15.
- a director (4) which comprises a horizontal electrical conductor (5) with two conductor ends (11) which is guided over a director length Ld at a director height hd above the conductive base area (3), at least approximately a lateral surface Mz of a cylinder oriented perpendicular to the conductive base area with a cylinder radius rz and a central axis Z through the phase center PZ of the satellite receiving antenna (2), the horizontal electrical conductor (5) being angled at its two conductor ends (11) and from there as vertical conductor (6) runs towards the conductive base surface (3) and is connected to it in an electrically conductive manner.
- the director (4) can design the director length Ld, the director height hd and the vertical conductor (6) be matched in such a way that its natural resonance frequency is set in the frequency vicinity of the frequency f.
- the elongated horizontal electrical conductor 5 is either curved in a plan view, or is straight-lined in the manner of a secant, as it approaches the curved lateral surface Mz of the cylinder.
- the director length Ld is selected to be somewhat shorter than the resonance length, i.e. about 90% of half the free space wavelength ⁇ and the cylinder radius rz about 20% of the free space wavelength ⁇ .
- At least three directors 4 are arranged azimuthally uniformly around the satellite receiving antenna 2 and the cylinder radius rz is chosen to be no more than half a free space wavelength.
- the at least one director 4 for targeted non-uniform change in the horizontal directional characteristic in one Distance of not more than half a free space wavelength ⁇ from the phase center PZ is appropriately positioned azimuthally.
- an electrically conductive ground plate 3a resting on the electrically conductive outer skin of the vehicle as a mechanical support for the satellite receiving antenna 2 and the at least one director 4, on which the ground points are formed for the electrically effective connection of the director 4 to the conductive base area 3 are.
- the director 4 is designed in the form of a wire.
- the ground plate 3a is at least partially designed from an electrically conductive sheet metal surface, and the director 4 as sheet metal strip 21 is cut out of this sheet metal surface except for a connecting web 26 as a ground point 8 and bent out of the sheet metal surface by the bending angle 10 is.
- At least two directors 4 are arranged closely adjacent to one another along the cylinder jacket Mz and the adjacent conductor ends 11 of the elongated horizontal electrical conductors 5 are capacitively coupled to one another.
- the satellite receiving antenna 2 is completely surrounded in azimuthally symmetrical form by directors 4 that are adjacent to one another and capacitively coupled with one another with regard to their conductor ends 11.
- the directors 4 consist of electrically conductive sheet metal and are each angularly shaped and bent at the conductor ends 11 of the elongated electrical conductor 5 in such a way that a sheet metal flag 12 is formed in each case and by the flag surfaces that are parallel to one another neighboring directors 4 the capacitive coupling is effected.
- the directors 4 arranged in a ring are combined to form a mechanically coherent ring made of sheet metal, the connection of the directors 4 to one another being provided via, in particular, short connecting webs 26, which are placed on the ground plate 3a and electrically connected to it at the ground points 8 are conductively connected.
- the satellite receiving antenna 2 consists of a circularly polarized loop antenna 13 with a relative height ha / ⁇ 0.1 and its vertical projection is inscribed in a circle with the relative antenna radius ra / ⁇ ⁇ 0.13 around its phase center PZ and the relative director length Ld / ⁇ ⁇ 0.3 and the relative director height hd / ⁇ ⁇ 0.07 and the relative cylinder radius are selected in the range rz / ⁇ ⁇ 0.2.
- the satellite receiving antenna 2 is formed as a circularly polarized patch antenna 14.
- An antenna arrangement 1 according to the invention has the advantage that when using a predetermined satellite receiving antenna 2 suitable for receiving the positioning satellites but not specified in more detail, the radiation properties can be improved in a targeted manner by the design and placement of the directors 4 according to the invention with regard to gain and cross-polarization suppression .
- a particular advantage of the invention is also that it makes it possible, in the case of an azimuthally non-uniform environment of the antenna arrangement 1, to remedy the disruption of its omnidirectional radiation pattern with regard to gain and cross-polarization distance caused thereby.
- an antenna arrangement 1 Another advantage of an antenna arrangement 1 according to the invention is that the directors 4 can be manufactured and attached particularly easily, which also enables them to be implemented using simple bent sheet-metal or wire structures.
- This has a relative antenna height ha / ⁇ ⁇ 0.15 and is inscribed with its vertical projection in a circle K with the relative antenna radius ra / ⁇ ⁇ 0.15 around its phase center PZ.
- At least one director 4 which is formed from a substantially elongated horizontal electrical conductor 5 and which over the director length Ld below the director height hd above the conductive base 3 approximately along the lateral surface of a vertically oriented cylinder with a cylinder radius rz and a central axis Z is passed through the phase center PZ of the satellite antenna 2.
- the horizontal electrical conductor 5 is kinked at both ends of the length L and runs as a vertical conductor 6 towards the conductive base surface 3 and is conductively connected to it.
- the relative director length Ld is selected in the range 0.2 ⁇ Ld / ⁇ ⁇ 0.4.
- the relative director height hd is selected in the range 0.03 ⁇ hd / ⁇ ⁇ 0.15.
- the relative cylinder radius is selected in the range 0.15 ⁇ rz / ⁇ ⁇ 0.4.
- the invention is based on a circularly polarized satellite receiving antenna 2 located above an electrically conductive base area 3, the relative antenna height ha / ⁇ of which, based on the free space wavelength ⁇ , is less than 0.15.
- This extremely small height ha of the antenna is associated with the problematic property that its radiation gain decreases very quickly towards smaller elevation angles. This is also associated with an increased decrease in the cross-polarization distance.
- This effect can be mitigated by the presence of the directors 4 to such an extent that a satellite receiving antenna 2 with the specified structural volume on the electrically conductive outer skin of a vehicle 7 can also be used for qualified location determination with the aid of satellite navigation.
- satellite reception signals are to be evaluated for the navigation, which are incident at the low elevation angle of 20 ° up to an elevation angle of 5 °.
- the extremely strong drop in antenna gain at such low elevation angles for the desired polarization direction of such a low one Satellite receiving antenna 2 over a conductive base 3 is based on the weakness of the horizontal component of its electric radiation field. According to the invention, this weakness is alleviated by the use of the directors 4 around the satellite receiving antenna 2 and the antenna gain is increased for low elevation angles.
- the directors form an arch or a (U-shaped) gate in relation to the base area (cf. Fig. 1 ), which consists of the vertical conductor 5 and the two vertical conductors 6.
- the mode of operation of the directors 4 can be checked for plausibility on the basis of the spatial representation of the antenna arrangement 1 according to the invention in FIG Fig. 1 and their top view in the Figures 1a and 2 explain approximately.
- the azimuthally almost complete encompassing of the satellite receiving antenna 2 with directors 4 leads to the desired increase in the antenna gain in the case of omnidirectional radiation.
- the satellite receiving antenna 2 designed for circular polarization excites the electrical conductors of the directors 4 with the currents flowing on it.
- the conductor ends 11 of the horizontal electrical conductors 5 are each connected to a ground point 8 with the conductive base 3 via the vertical conductors 6.
- secondary currents are formed on the electrically excited director 4 and in particular also on the horizontal electrical conductor 5, which, with a suitable choice of the director length in the range 0.2 ⁇ Ld / ⁇ ⁇ 0.45, the director height in the range 0.03 ⁇ hd / ⁇ ⁇ 0.15 and the cylinder radius in the range 0.15 ⁇ rz / ⁇ ⁇ 0.5, which determines the distance between the directors 4 and the center Z of the antenna arrangement 1, generate a radiation field. This is superimposed on the radiation field of the satellite receiving antenna 2 in such a way that the desired increase in the antenna gain occurs, in particular for low elevation angles.
- the small selected deviation of the satellite frequency f from the natural resonance frequency of the director 4 is the reason for the associated increase in the currents on the director 4 and, in combination with the appropriately set cylinder radius rz, the resulting, in relation on the phase position constructive superposition of the director radiation field with the radiation field of the satellite receiving antenna 2 in the sense of the task to be solved.
- the horizontal electrical conductors 5 above the electrically conductive base 3 below the director height hd each form an electrical line terminated at both conductor ends 11 via the vertical conductor 6 with the characteristic impedance ZL, the size of which depends on the conductor width 27 or the sheet metal strip width 21 and the conductor spacing 28 of the horizontal electrical conductor 5 is given by the conductive base 3.
- the wave impedance ZL can be varied within wide limits.
- a fine adjustment of the distance rz of the director 4 from the center Z as well as the choice of a suitable wave impedance ZL and the self-inductance of the vertical conductors 6 enables the optimization of the radiation pattern of the antenna arrangement 1 in terms of the object of the invention.
- the ground plate 3a resting on the outer skin of the vehicle 7 is designed as a mechanical support for the satellite receiving antenna 2 and the directors 4 and is made of sheet metal.
- a particular advantage here is the possibility, according to the invention, of cutting the directors 4 from the sheet metal and bending them out by the bending angle 10. The cutting and bending processes required for this can be carried out extremely inexpensively in mass production with very good reproducibility.
- the non-uniform change in the horizontal directional characteristic can be counteracted with a specifically positioned director 4.
- This measure according to the invention is particularly helpful when choosing the preferred installation spaces Br1, Br2, and Br6 on the vehicle roof 16, in which due to the abrupt breaking off of the conductive base surface 3 on the rear roof edge 18 at the upper edge of the rear window 15 and the curvature that is often present there of the vehicle roof 16, the radiation pattern of a satellite receiving antenna 2 is generally severely impaired.
- the installation spaces are more compact and the radiation characteristics are impaired by electromagnetic coupling.
- the satellite receiving antenna 2 for GNSS is attached in an arrangement according to the invention with two opposing directors 4 on the installation space Br2 and the satellite receiving antenna 23 for radio reception at approximately 2.3 GHz on the installation space Br6. Both antennas are designed as ring line antennas 13 in the example. It is shown to be very advantageous here that the strict requirements for the radiation characteristics of the satellite broadcast receiving antenna 23 are not impaired by the presence of the directors 4 according to the invention.
- the secondary currents which the satellite broadcast antenna 23 causes on the directors 4 are sufficiently small that their effect on the radiation characteristics of the satellite broadcast antenna 23 is negligible. This effect is pronounced in such a way that the disturbance of the radiation properties of the satellite broadcast antenna 23 in Fig. 11 is small even when the satellite receiving antenna 2 for GNSS is completely surrounded by directors 4.
- These secondary currents generate different voltages on the inductive effects of the adjacent vertical electrical conductors 6, the difference being via the capacitive Coupling produces the desired effect of improving the cross polarization distance.
- the directors 4 are cut out of the sheet-like ground plate 3a except for the short connecting webs 26 and bent out of the sheet-metal ground plate 3a along the bending line 24, the bending angle 10 being selected to be 90 °.
- the conductor ends 11 of the elongated electrical conductor 5 are shaped flat and angular in such a way that a sheet metal lug 12 is formed in each case.
- the sheet metal lugs 12 are bent radially outward - in relation to the center Z - in such a way that the surfaces of two adjacent sheet metal lugs 12 are aligned essentially parallel to one another and thus the increased capacitive coupling is achieved.
