  • the present invention relates to the technical field of antenna arrangements, which are specifically designed for having an omni-directional transmitting and/or receiving profile within a two dimensional plane such as the horizontal plane.
  • the present invention relates to a method for transmitting and/or for receiving electromagnetic radiation by means of an antenna arrangement as mentioned above.
  • a User Equipment may be for instance a cellular telephone, a Personal Digital Assistant or a notebook computer.
  • WLAN Wireless Local Area Network
  • base stations are used, which are equipped or connected to antennas having a simple whip-style monopole or dipole antenna element.
  • a vertical array of rod-style antenna elements which consist of stacked dipole elements extending with a significantly length respectively height perpendicular to the two dimensional plane.
  • a Yagi antenna is a directional antenna system consisting of an active driven dipole antenna element and additional closely coupled parasitic antenna elements, which are usually a reflector and one or more directors. Such an arrangement gives the antenna directionality that a single dipole lacks.
  • WLAN applications there may be a need for providing a simple, a low-cost and preferably an on ceiling mountable antenna arrangement, which comprises an omni-directional gain and sensitivity property in a predefined horizontal plane. Further, some gain in an elevation view would also be advantageous.
  • an antenna arrangement and in particular an antenna arrangement based on the principles of Yagi antenna technology.
  • the provided antenna arrangement comprises (a) a base element having an upper surface, (b) an active antenna element, which is attached to the base element and which extends substantially perpendicular to the upper surface, and (c) a plurality of passive antenna elements, which are attached to the base element and which extend substantially perpendicular to the upper surface.
  • the active antenna element is located in the center of the whole antenna arrangement and the passive antenna elements are arranged in at least four rows, whereby each row extends radially outwards from the center in a different direction.
  • the described antenna arrangement is based on the idea that a multi-row arrangement of passive antenna elements surrounding an active antenna element may provide substantially within a two dimensional plane an omni-directional property for antenna gain and/or for antenna sensitivity. This means that when operating the described antenna arrangement only little radiation is transmitted into respectively received from directions being oriented significantly inclined with respect to a two dimensional plane, which plane is oriented parallel to the upper surface.
  • the basic idea of the present invention is to use wire and/or strip directors respectively passive antenna elements being located around a simple feeder respectively active antenna element in order to increase the directivity of the antenna arrangement in the two dimensional plane and maintaining the corresponding two dimensional gain as omni-directional as possible.
  • wire and/or strip directors respectively passive antenna elements being located around a simple feeder respectively active antenna element in order to increase the directivity of the antenna arrangement in the two dimensional plane and maintaining the corresponding two dimensional gain as omni-directional as possible.
  • slight angular deviations from the two dimensional plane in the range up to 25° to 30° are possible.
  • the active antenna element is a feed antenna, which may be connected in a known manner to a feed line of the antenna arrangement.
  • the passive antenna elements may be denominated as directors, which are stimulated by the radiation field of active antenna element.
  • the described antenna arrangement comprises no reflector elements.
  • the active antenna element and the passive antenna elements as a whole represent a system of coupled resonators. Thereby, in the transmitting case the passive antenna elements are driven by the radiation field being emitted by the active antenna element.
  • the spatial distribution of all the (active and passive) antenna elements is designed in such a way that the phase shifts between the electromagnetic radiation being emitted from all the (active and passive) antenna elements is substantially constructive for radiation being emitted within the two-dimensional plane. This means that the overall radiation field being emitted from the whole antenna arrangements represents a constructive interference between all radiation fields being emitted from each of the antenna elements.
  • this relies on the matter of fact that the spatial distance between the various antenna elements is specifically adapted to the electromagnetic wavelength the described antenna arrangement is optimized for.
  • the described antenna arrangement may be realized within a vertically low profile. Thus the antenna arrangement can be used in many locations which do not allow a spatially large extension of an antenna.
  • the antenna arrangement which may allow for a power gain of 3-6 dBi, can be realized by a simple and low-cost mechanical construction.
  • the antenna arrangement may be used as a Wireless Local Areas Network (WLAN) base station in particular for or in small cells.
  • the antenna arrangement may be suitable for WLAN base station access antennas being adapted for a frequency band between 2.4 and 2.5 GHz.
  • the two dimensional plane of the described antenna arrangement is a horizontal plane.
  • a reliable radio respectively wireless communication may be achieved for subscribers, which are located predominately within a horizontal plane such as the floor of one ore more rooms.
  • the passive antenna elements represent a symmetrical structure with respect to the active antenna element. This holds at least within a two dimensional plane being parallel to the upper surface of the base element
  • the structure of the passive antenna elements may be point symmetric with respect to the central active antenna element. This means that for each of the passive antenna elements there is also one another of the passive antenna elements which represent a pair of antenna elements, wherein the active antenna elements is located exactly in the middle of a fictive line connecting the two antenna elements of the respective pair of antenna elements.
  • the passive antenna elements respectively the directors of the symmetrical structure may be arranged within a circular, radially periodic geometry. Thereby, horizontally omni-directional high-gain antennas may be realized in a comparatively simple and effective manner.
  • the base element is a plate. This may provide the advantage that the whole antenna arrangement can be constructed within a small vertical extension. Thereby it becomes possible that the antenna arrangement can be mounted for exampled on ceilings without reducing the effective height of the corresponding room significantly.
  • the base element comprises an electrically non conductive material.
  • the non conductive material may be any dielectric material such as for instance plastic.
  • the active antenna element and/or the passive antenna elements may be round and thin metal rods which can be attached to the plastic plate.
  • the antenna arrangement further comprises a conducting ground-plane, which is spatially separated from the passive antenna elements and which laterally extends below all passive antenna elements.
  • the passive antenna elements respectively the directors can be realized for example by means of strips on vertical substrate pieces.
  • the active antenna element may be for instance a monopole.
  • Such an antenna arrangement may provide the advantage that the beam direction can be located very close to the horizon. Further, electronic components may be located behind the conducting ground-plane representing an effective shielding against unwanted electromagnetic radiation.
  • the base element comprises an electrically conductive material.
  • the conductive material may be any metallic material such as for instance copper, which comprises a high electrical conductivity and therefore contributes in reducing the ohmic loss when operating the described antenna arrangement.
  • a metal base element and in particular a metal plate act as an electromagnetic mirror for the electrical charge respectively for the electrical potential.
  • This may provide the advantage that the vertical size of the (active and passive) antenna elements can be further reduced, because the active and passive antenna elements can be operated quasi as an electromagnetic monopole having only half of the length of a corresponding electromagnetic dipole.
  • the vertical size is the dimension of the antenna elements in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the metallic base element.
  • the metallic base plate which causes all the antenna elements to be operable as quasi electromagnetic monopoles may further comprise the advantage that the active antenna element can be supplied by means of a monopole feed.
  • a monopole feed may allow for a straight coaxial connection to the antenna arrangement.
  • a monopole feed can eliminate the need for a so called balun transformer.
  • balun transformers are passive electronic devices that convert between balanced and unbalanced electrical signals.
  • the impedance of the described antenna arrangement By employing a metal plate it is possible to design the impedance of the described antenna arrangement to have a good match to an usual 50 Ohm impedance being used for a feed cable and/or for a transmitting respectively a receiving device being connected to the antenna arrangement.
  • a further advantage of using a metallic base element is an effective shielding of electromagnetic radiation.
  • the metallic base element may effectively prevent electromagnetic radiation from undesirably entering a spatial region being located behind the base element.
  • the electromagnetic compatibility of the described antenna arrangement may further be increased.
  • the antenna elements which may be realized as round thin metal rods or strips, can be welded into a ground-plane of the upper surface representing a ground-plane of the base element. Further, the antenna elements, which may be realized as metallic strips, can be constructed on identical substrate plates, which are assembled radially on the ground-plane. Thereby, the described antenna arrangement can be realized by means of a modular assembly.
  • the base element extends along the whole antenna arrangement.
  • all the antenna elements are located directly in front of a metallic surface representing an electromagnetic mirror.
  • This kind of antenna arrangement may provide the advantage that it can be realized within a very flat design. However, a comparatively large metallic ground surface is needed.
  • the maximum gain of the antenna arrangement cannot be within the two dimensional plane being oriented parallel to the upper surface.
  • the maximum gain may be rather elevated between 15° and 25° above or below this plane. If the antenna arrangement is oriented horizontally for instance on the ceiling of a room, the maximum gain may be realized within a plane being elevated between 15° and 25° under the horizon.
  • the base element extends solely along a portion of the whole antenna arrangement. This means that only some of the antenna elements are located directly in front of the metal plate respectively the metallic surface representing an electromagnetic mirror. Preferably, the metal plate extends solely below the active antenna element.
  • this kind of antenna arrangement cannot be realized within such a small vertical extension as the above described antenna arrangement having a large ground plate.
  • the height of the described antenna arrangement having a small or a reduced ground plate will rather be of the order of one height of a dipole, which of course also depends on the wavelength being transmitted and/or received by the antenna arrangement.
  • the described small ground plate antenna arrangement may provide the advantage that it's input impedance, which strongly depends on the spatial distribution of the antenna elements, can be easily optimized to be nearly 50 Ohm.
  • the described small ground plate antenna arrangement may further provide the advantage that the maximum gain is on the horizon respectively within the two dimensional plane being oriented parallel to the upper surface and the gain and the ripple in gain profile can be controlled by a selection of the number of directors in the radial rows and by the number of radial rows.
  • this further aspect of the invention is based on the idea that the above described multi-row arrangement of passive antenna elements surrounding the active antenna element may provide substantially within a two dimensional plane an omni-directional property for the gain and the sensitivity of the antenna arrangement. This means that when operating the described antenna arrangement only little radiation intensity is transmitted into respectively received from directions being oriented significantly inclined with respect to the two dimensional plane being parallel to the upper surface.

  • rows 125-1, 125-3, 125-5, 125-7, 125-9, 125-11, 125-13 and 125-15 have three passive director elements and correspondingly rows 125-2, 125-4, 125-6, 125-8, 125-10, 125-12, 125-14 and 125-16 have four passive director elements.
  • antenna arrangements in accordance with the invention can also comprise a different number of rows.
  • the number of directors being assigned to a row can also differ from three or four.
  • the number of rows is preferably equal or larger than four and the number of passive antenna elements being assigned to one row is at least one.
  • the number of rows and/or the number of passive antenna elements being assigned to a single row There may be a technical limit in that sense, that if the number of passive elements is large the gain doesn't necessarily increase with the number of passive elements or the antenna is not omni-directional anymore.
  • Figure 2 shows a three dimensional directivity function of the antenna arrangement 100.
  • the gain in a certain directions with respect to the point of origin which directions are defined by the three coordinates x, y and z, is defined by the spatial distance between the corresponding point of the surface of the three dimensional directivity function and the point of origin.
  • the illustrated three dimensional directivity function has been calculated for electromagnetic radiation having a frequency of 2.442 GHz.
  • the maximum gain is 4.9 dBi in certain horizontal directions.
  • the unit dBi refers to decibels referring to a fictitious isotropic antenna, which uniformly distributes the whole available radiation energy into all directions.
  • the antenna arrangement 100 comprises a maximum gain in certain horizontal directions, which maximum gain is 4.9 dB higher than the gain of an isotropic antenna.
  • Figure 3 shows the directivity function of the antenna arrangement 100 in the horizontal plane for seven different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
  • the depicted frequencies are 2.379 MHz, 2.4 MHz, 2.421 MHz, 2.442 MHz, 2.463 MHz, 2.484 MHz and 2.505 MHz. Since these directivity functions are very close to each other they can hardly be resolved in Figure 3 .
  • Figure 4 shows the directivity function of the antenna arrangement 100 in an elevation view.
  • most of the radiation intensity is emitted into the horizontal plane given by the angular values -90° and 90°.

Such an arrangement comprising eight rows each having three directors 521 will be denominated as an 8x3 director arrangement.
  • the metal base plate 510 represents an electromagnetic mirror in particular for the electric potential being generated by the antenna arrangement 500.
  • This mirror behavior has the advantage that compared to the antenna arrangement 100 shown in Figure 1 , the height of the antenna elements 520, 521 can be reduced by a factor of two. This is based on the matter of fact that the electromagnetic mirror has the same effect as a further antenna element arrangement, which is directly attached to the arrangement 500 in a mirror-inverted way. Therefore, by using a metal plate 510 as a base element the effective height of the antenna elements and; as a consequence, the effective height of the whole antenna arrangement 500 can be significantly reduced compared to an antenna arrangement being assembled on a dielectric base element.

Again, the depicted frequencies are 2.379 MHz, 2.4 MHz, 2.421 MHz, 2.442 MHz, 2.463 MHz, 2.484 MHz and 2.505 MHz. Since these directivity functions are very close to each other they can hardly be resolved in Figure 7 .
  • Each of the depicted directivity functions exhibits eight bumps protruding outwardly. In between two neighboring bumps there is a dimple (minimum). Differences between the different frequency directivity functions can only be seen within the regions of one of the eight the dimples. The difference between the maximums and minimums in the antenna gain, ripple in the antenna gain, depends of the number of passive director element rows used in the antenna.
  • Figure 8 shows the directivity function of the antenna arrangement 500 in an elevation view.
  • most of the radiation intensity is emitted into a direction being oriented approximately 20° angularly offset with respect to the horizontal plane given by the angular values -90° and 90°.
