Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for monitoring the orientation of an antenna system, in particular a mobile radio antenna system.
  • US 5 790 075 discloses a method and a device for measuring the orientation of an antenna based on data from a magnetic field detector known.
  • a reference measurement is carried out in advance, at the antenna must be rotated 360 ° once, while the horizontal and / or vertical component of the earth's magnetic field by means of the sensor is measured. Thereafter, by comparing the current from the sensor measured geomagnetic field data with the previously stored reference data and off the direction of rotation of the antenna whose current orientation is determined.
  • the object of the invention is a reliable monitoring of the alignment allow mobile radio antenna systems with little effort.
  • the invention provides to detect the position of an antenna via the earth's magnetic field.
  • the disturbing influences by iron masts or other electromagnetic influences is with Help compensate for calibration in a given position of the antenna.
  • the invention enables a simple and constant monitoring of the antennas e.g. from the base of an antenna mast of the plant or via a remote diagnostic system.
  • the antenna system can be monitored during operation, as a Do not enter the antenna system and work with ladders or lifting vehicles necessary.
  • eliminating the construction of a complicated measuring device e.g., for a bearing measurement).
  • the antenna system shown in the figure comprises an antenna mast 6, on the multiple antennas 1 are mounted.
  • monitoring units 2 which is an electronic earth magnetic field sensor, a Microcontroller and an interface for communication with an over-whelm headquarters 3.
  • the electronic magnetic field sensor that is at the Antenna detected 1 existing geomagnetic field.
  • a possible failure by Metal masses is compensated by the calibration of the sensor, wherein the Target state as "normal zero" stored in the EEPROM of the microcontroller becomes.
  • the microcontroller constantly measures the deviation from this calibrated one Position and triggers an alarm when exceeding a set tolerance. The exceeding is communicated to the monitoring center 3, this is this visually and / or acoustically signaled.
  • the monitoring center 3 allows also a forwarding to downstream devices 5.
  • the positional deviation of the antenna 1 is according to the invention without external Calibration (e.g., by rotating the antenna or the like).
  • the calibration refers to the assumption of the (once set) nominal position of the Antenna 1. This position of the antenna 1 is by the specifications of the user certainly. If the antenna 1 is mounted, the corresponding values are displayed as Preset position (reference data) stored. Subsequently, the Orientation of the antenna 1 monitored by means of the geomagnetic field sensor by comparing the currently measured values with the reference data become.
  • the variables O, N and Z give the space vectors East, North and Top (Gravitational vector).
  • WMM World Magnetic Model
  • Another parameter to consider is the current time.
  • false alarms of the device may be due to a disregard Such deviations of the earth's magnetic field are due avoided become.
  • the invention allows, independent of the vertical and horizontal Able, a correct indication of the direction of the compass with respect to the antenna 1, where errors of the magnetic field vector due to spatial and temporal Deviations or changes in the Earth's magnetic field and due to ferromagnetic Influences are compensated. This becomes an absolute independence reached by fixed or mobile aids.
