Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the antennas produced according to the microstrip technique.
  • Such an antenna includes a patch which is typically formed by etching a metal layer. She is called in English by specialists "microstrip patch antenna” for “antenna to microstrip type tablet ".
  • the presentation will be sometimes limited below for the purpose of simplification to the sole case of an antenna transmitter connected to a transmitter. But it must be understood that the provisions described could also apply in the case of receiving antennas connected to a receiver. For the same purpose it will be accepted that the substrate has the form of a horizontal sheet.
  • a first type can be called "Half-wave”.
  • the antenna is then called "half-wave” or "electric”.
  • This length is substantially equal to half of the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave propagating in this direction in the line formed by the mass, the substrate and the patch.
  • the coupling with the radiated waves is done at the ends of this length, these extremities being located in regions where the amplitude of the electric field prevailing in the substrate is maximum.
  • a second type of resonant structure that can be produced according to this same technique can be called “quarter wave”.
  • the antenna is then called “quarter wave” or “magnetic". It differs from a half-wave antenna by part by the fact that its pellet has a length substantially equal to a quarter of the wavelength, this length of the patch and this wavelength being defined as above, on the other hand by the fact that a significant short circuit is made at one end of this length between the mass and the patch of so as to impose a resonance of the quarter wave type including a node of electric field is fixed by this short circuit. Coupling with waves radiated is done at the other end of this length, this other end being located in the region where the amplitude of the electric field across the substrate is maximum.
  • the coupling of such an antenna to a signal processing device as a transmitter is typically done not only through a coupling device included in this antenna, but also a line of external connection to this antenna and connecting the coupling device to the signal processor. If we consider a functional chain global including the signal processing unit, the connection line, the coupling device and the resonant structure, the coupling and the connection line are made so that this chain has a uniform impedance over its entire length, which avoids parasitic reflections opposing good coupling.
  • the respective functions of the coupling device, the connection line and the antenna are as follows:
  • the function of the connection line is to carry a radio frequency or microwave signal from the transmitter to the antenna terminals. Throughout such a line the signal is propagates in the form of a traveling wave without undergoing, at least in principle, significant modification of its characteristics.
  • the function of coupling device is to transform the signal supplied by the line of connection so that this signal excites a resonance of the antenna, this is to say that the energy of the traveling wave carrying this signal is transferred to a standing wave settling in the antenna with defined characteristics by the latter.
  • the antenna it transfers the energy of this wave stationary at a wave radiated in space.
  • the signal provided by the transmitter thus undergoes a first transformation to pass from the shape of a wave progressive to that of a standing wave, then a second transformation which gives it the shape of a radiated wave.
  • a first transformation to pass from the shape of a wave progressive to that of a standing wave
  • a second transformation which gives it the shape of a radiated wave.
  • an antenna receiving the signal takes the same forms in the same organs but the transformations are done in reverse order and direction.
  • connection lines can be made according to a technique other than planar, for example in the form of coaxial lines.
  • Antennas produced using planar techniques are included in various types of devices. These devices include portable radiotelephones, base stations for the latter, automobiles and airplanes or air missiles.
  • portable radio the continuous nature of the lower mass layer of this antenna makes it possible to easily limit the radiation power intercepted by the body of the user of the device.
  • the antenna can be shaped to this profile so as not to cause additional aerodynamic drag embarrassing.
  • the area in the middle of the candlestick has a field node electric fixed by a series of short circuits to the ground plane, this series short circuits being arranged along the axis of symmetry of this zone.
  • the conductive areas are separated from each other by slots of relatively large width (0.7 cm for a wavelength of 3.3 cm), this which makes it possible to produce an antenna of smaller size than that of the antennas known, for a given wavelength.
  • this antenna cannot not operate properly on multiple frequencies, for example in a multiband radiotelephone.
  • a first known antenna is described in the document of US-A-4,766,440 (Gegan).
  • the patch 10 of this antenna has a U-shaped curved slot which is continuous and entirely internal to this pellet.
  • This slit is radiative and shows a mode of resonance additional antenna. It also allows, by a suitable choice of its shape and its dimensions, to bring the frequencies of the modes of resonance with desired values which gives the possibility of associating two linear cross-polarized modes for emitting a polarized wave circular.
  • the supply line ends with a coupling device which is a line produced using the microstrip technique as specified above but which is also said to be coplanar, this because the microstrip extends in the plane of the patch and enters between two notches of the latter.
  • This device is provided with transformation means impedance to adapt it to the different input impedances respectively presented by the line at the different resonance frequencies used as operating frequencies.
  • a third known antenna is described in the document of US-A-4,771,291 (LO et al). Its patch has slots extending along respective line segments inside the patch. These slots reduce the difference between the two operating frequencies. Occasional short circuits also reduce this difference. They are formed by conductors passing through the substrate.
  • FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of a device for communication including a first antenna produced according to this invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a top view of the antenna of the figure 1.
  • FIG. 3 represents a front view of this same antenna.
  • Figure 4 shows a diagram of the variation of a reflection coefficient in decibels at the input of this same antenna in function of the frequency expressed in MHz.
  • Figure 5 shows a top view of a second antenna made according to this invention.
  • the antenna further includes a coupling device having more particularly the shape of a coupling line.
  • This device includes on the one hand, a main conductor made up of two sections C1 and C3 and connected to the patch 6 at an internal connection point 18. It comprises on the other hand an equally composite ground conductor which cooperates with this main conductor and which will be described later. It constitutes all or part of a connection assembly which connects the resonant structure of the antenna to a signal processor 8, for example to drive one or more resonances of the antenna from this body in the case where it is a transmitting antenna.
  • the connection set typically includes a connecting line such as C4, C5, which is external to the antenna and which comprises two conductors.
  • this line On the antenna side, these two conductors are connected respectively with two connecting conductors which belong to the coupling and which can be considered as constituting two terminals of the antenna. At the other end of this line, the two conductors of this last are connected respectively to two terminals of the processing unit signal.
  • This line can in particular be of the coaxial type, of the type to microstrip or coplanar type. In case the antenna considered constitutes a receiving antenna, this same assembly transmits the received signals through this antenna to the signal processor. The various elements of this together have the respective functions previously defined.
  • the signal processor is able to operate at those resonant frequencies which constitute said frequencies of antenna operation. It can be composite and then include a element permanently tuned into each of these frequencies of operation. It can also include a tunable element.
  • the present invention also relates to a device for communication including an antenna according to this invention and a said organ for signal processing connected to this antenna by a so-called set of connection.
  • the antenna given in example is a dual-frequency antenna, it is to say that it must be able to give rise to at least two resonances so to operate in two modes corresponding to two frequencies of operation.
  • a slot is formed in the patch 6 and leads forward outside the latter. It constitutes a slit longitudinal divider F1.
  • the longitudinal extent occupied by this slot defines in this patch a region before Z2, Z1, Z12, the slot itself separating in this region a primary zone Z1 from a secondary zone Z2.
  • a rear region ZA extends between this front region and the rear edge 10. De preferably this rear region is shorter and preferably still much shorter in the longitudinal direction DL than this region before.
  • the internal connection point 18 is outside the area secondary and it is preferably located in the primary zone Z1.
  • a said mode then constitutes a primary mode in which a wave stationary is established thanks to a propagation of progressive waves in the two directions of this longitudinal direction or of a direction close to this last, these waves propagating in an area including this primary zone and this rear region, substantially excluding the secondary zone Z2.
  • Another operating mode constitutes a secondary mode in which a wave stationary is established thanks to a propagation of progressive waves in the same two directions, these waves propagating in another area including the primary and secondary areas and the rear region.
  • the rear region ZA has a first function which is to couple the secondary zone to the primary zone to allow the establishment of the secondary mode. She has a second function which is to allow the short circuit present on the rear edge of play its role in each of these two areas.
  • the antenna is then, at least approximately, for each operating frequency, of the quarter type wave.
  • the configurations of the pad and the coupling device and more particularly the longitudinal position of the internal connection point 18 are chosen so as to show a desired value predetermined impedance presented by the antenna for the signal processing or more typically for a connection line connecting this body to this device.
  • This impedance will be called below antenna impedance.
  • input impedance In the case of a transmitting antenna it is usually called input impedance.
  • desired value is advantageously equal to the impedance of the connection line. It is why, preferably, the position of the connection point gives the antenna impedance substantially the same value for the various operating frequencies.
  • the operating frequencies have predetermined desired values. These values can be advantageously obtained by a suitable choice of dimensions respective longitudinal zones primary Z1 and secondary Z2. It is why, in the context of the present invention, these two dimensions are typically different. As a result, the front edge of the patch deviates then necessarily of a transverse straight line.
  • the configuration of the pad 6 preferably further forms a slot extending in the direction transverse DT.
  • This slot constitutes a transverse separating slot F2 partially separating this primary zone from the rear region ZA. Of preferably it connects to the rear end of the separating slot longitudinal F1.
