Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a broadband antenna with radiation pattern conservation.
  • VSWR voltage standing wave ratio ratio
  • the most widespread topologies are: frequency independent antennas (spiral, log-periodic), broadband dipoles (elliptic, voluminal, planar ). These topologies can be used in the context of the realization of directional antennas or omnidirectional.
  • the increase of the bandwidth can be achieved through the addition of a matching circuit , which can incorporate a variable number of discrete or pseudo-localized components (capacitors, inductances). , resistors, transformers, etc.).
  • the patent US 4,527,163 discloses a monostrip antenna having an outer member formed by a cut sheet having a shape of Y.
  • the present invention aims in particular to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above related to known antennas through an innovative construction.
  • the antenna according to the invention can be used alone or as an antenna element in a network of identical or different antennas, and, depending on the case, in contact or not with a mass.
  • the electrically conductive sheet forming the outer element comprises a first side defining the maximum height of the outer element and a second side, in particular perpendicular to the first, defining a base of the external element.
  • the conductive sheet may for example have a right-angled triangle shape or have a third side connecting the first two and having a decreasing exponential shape.
  • the conductive sheet may comprise a third side connecting the first and second sides and formed by a succession of slots.
  • the minimum height of the outer element may be zero or, alternatively, non-zero.
  • the conductive sheet may have for example a shape of a right triangle, truncated or not at a vertex.
  • the outer element comprises a winding of a conductive sheet having an isosceles triangle shape whose base defines the maximum height of the outer element.
  • the outer element may be spirally wound, in particular in a spiral with a variable pitch, in particular in a logarithmic spiral.
  • the profile of the sheet constituting the outer member may be continuous or formed of a succession of plane portions.
  • the winding of the conductive sheet can be made from one or other of the ends thereof, and from the inside to the outside, or from the outside to the inside with respect to the element central radiating.
  • the central radiating element can be of any type.
  • the radiating element may be of dipole type, in particular a printed or cylindrical dipole.
  • the outer element can be considered as an impedance transformer when it is arranged to operate without contact with a mass and only by electromagnetic coupling.
  • the antenna is then called "continuous profile".
  • the outer element is arranged to operate in contact with a mass and can be considered as an extension of this mass.
  • the antenna is then called "adaptive sleeve".
  • the radiating element may be a monopole, a dipole, a helix, an ellipse or a combination of these elements.
  • the radiating element may be a printed or cylindrical dipole, for example.
  • All elements of the antenna can be formed from conductive materials or comprise printed circuit boards.
  • the central radiating element and the outer element may be surrounded by a dielectric material, in particular by being at least partially embedded in the dielectric material.
  • a sheet dielectric material wound around the central radiating element and the outer member may be used.
  • the antenna according to the invention can be ultra-wide band or multi-band type.
  • the broadband adaptation as well as the high efficiency of the antenna according to the invention allows the operation thereof in high power.
  • the invention further allows the miniaturization of the antenna, with dimensions of the order of one-tenth of the wavelength.
  • the antenna according to the invention can thus be used in all types of applications, in particular for portable or vehicular devices.
  • It can in particular be used for mobile applications, especially in the field of portable devices or vehicles, or, alternatively, used in infrastructure, for example in the field of base stations.
  • the invention further provides a radiation pattern selected to be directional, sectoral (antenna networking) or omnidirectional.
  • FIG. 1 shows a so-called “continuous profile” antenna 1 comprising a central radiating element 2 of dipole type with a longitudinal axis X and an external element 3, partially described as a parasite, represented in dotted lines, surrounding the radiating element 2 .
  • the antenna 1 illustrated comprises a dielectric material 4 in which the radiating element 2 and the outer element 3 are at least partially embedded.
  • the radiating element 2 and the outer element 3 may be separated by air.
  • the radiating element 2 may be of any type, for example a printed or cylindrical dipole, and have the shape of a rod.
  • the outer element 3 can be considered as an adaptive load, and is not connected to any mass.
  • the outer element 3 is formed of a winding of an electrically conductive sheet 5 having an isosceles triangle shape, as illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the shape of the triangle could be arbitrary.
  • the sheet 5 can be wound in a spiral, for example a spiral with a variable pitch, as can be seen in FIG.
  • the maximum height H of the outer element 3 measured along the X axis corresponds to the length H of the base of the isosceles triangle of the sheet 5.
  • the minimum height of the outer element 3 along the winding is zero, corresponding to the vertex S of the isosceles triangle opposite the base.
  • the antenna 1 may be of the ultra-wide adaptation band type.
  • the outer member 3 may have other shapes.
  • the outer member 3 may be formed from a conductive sheet 5 having a right-angled triangle shape.
  • the conductive foil 5 may have a truncated right triangle shape, so that the outer member 3 has a minimum height along the winding which is non-zero.
  • the conductive sheet 5 may alternatively have two perpendicular sides and a third side having a curvilinear shape of descending exponential type.
  • the conductive sheet 5 may have a side formed by a succession of slots, the height of the outer member varying along the winding being alternately increasing and decreasing.
  • This antenna 10 is of monopole type, and comprises a central radiating element 11, an outer element 12 wound around the radiating element 11 and a mass 13, to which the outer element 12 is connected.
  • the outer element can be realized in one piece with the mass.
  • the elements 11 and 12 may be made of conductive material or, alternatively, from printed circuit boards.
  • the radiating element 11 may be of the dipolar type.
  • the outer element 12 can be considered as an extension of the mass 13.
  • the outer element 12 is formed of a winding of a sheet having a right-angled triangle shape.
  • the outer member 12 may, of course, have another of the forms described above.
  • the antenna 10 can make it possible to obtain an ultra wide adaptation band.
  • the influence of the mass 13 on the operation of the antenna can be extremely low thanks to the invention.
  • the radiating element 11 may be one-piece or consist of several assembled elements.
  • the central radiating element and the outer element are concentric.
  • the central radiating element could be eccentric with respect to the outer element.
