- One or more PCB antennas are connected to one of Elek ⁇ tronikplatinen (printed circuit boards) (e.g., as by soldering).
- a PCB antenna has milled-out pins on the edge of the board, which are inserted through corresponding openings in the electronics board to which the PCB antenna is to be attached so that the PCB antenna is perpendicular to the electronics board.
- the insertion of the PCB board in the openings of the electronics ⁇ board is usually done manually in the production of the antenna modules.
- the PCB antenna is then soldered to the inserted into the Elek ⁇ tronikplatine pins by means of a selective soldering process, or by means of a Lötroboters with the Elek ⁇ tronikplatine.
- This process which is necessary for the through hole technology (THT) of the antenna, is Compared to other surface mount technology (SMT) mounting and soldering techniques that can be used with SMD components, for example - time consuming and costly.
- the object underlying the invention is to provide a PCB antenna available that can be processed with the usual SMD component ⁇ assembly and soldering. This object is achieved by an antenna according to claim 1.
- Different embodiments and deve ⁇ developments are subject of the dependent claims.
- an antenna arrangement which has a circuit board with front and a back and arranged on the front and / or the back antenna ⁇ structure.
- the antenna arrangement further comprises at least one disposed at a front side of the board and electrically connected to the antenna structure on ⁇ metallized contact ⁇ surface for surface mounting to a surface of a terplatte LEI.
- SMT surface mounting technology
- the front side of the board has an edge to the front and an edge to the back, wherein the at least one me ⁇ tallized contact surface can surround both edges at least partially.
- the antenna board may have on its front side a projection which can be pushed through a corresponding opening (a slot) in the circuit board.
- solder paste is applied to the solder pad and the antenna arrangement is arranged on the printed circuit board, so that the at least metallized contact surface on the front side of the antenna board makes contact with the solder pad and rests flat against the latter. Finally, the solder joint between the printed circuit board and the antenna arrangement is produced by melting the solder paste.
- the antenna arrangement can be processed automatically in a similar manner as conventional SMD components.
- a protrusion located on the front side of the antenna is inserted through a through hole (a slit) in the circuit board.
- a through hole a slit
- an antenna module which comprises a printed circuit board with at least one solder pad and an antenna comprising a board with front and a back. On the front and / or the
- Rear of the board is arranged an antenna structure.
- On the front side of the board is at least one me ⁇ tallized contact surface, which is electrically connected to the antenna structure.
- the arranged on a front side of the board contact surface is flat against the solder pad and is attached to this by means of a solder joint.
- FIG. 1 shows several views of an example of a PCB antenna suitable for surface mounting ;
- Figure 2 is a plan view of an electronic circuit board with SMT solder pads for surface mounting a PCB antenna of FIG. 1 and
- FIG. 3 shows a front view of the electronic circuit board from FIG. 2 with a PCB antenna mounted thereon by means of surface mounting technology.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a PCB antenna 100, which is designed for mounting on a printed circuit board (see FIG. 2) by means of a surface mounting technique.
- the conductor ⁇ plate may be part of an antenna module, which z. B. as described above can be arranged in or on a vehicle roof.
- 1 a shows a view of the lower end side of the antenna
- FIG. 1 b shows a view of the rear side 102
- FIG. 1 c shows a side view
- FIG. 1 d shows a view of the front side 101 with antenna structure 110 arranged thereon
- FIG. 1 shows an isometric view.
- THT Through Hole Technology
- solderable pads directly to corresponding solder pads (solder pads) a circuit board.
- SMT surface mounting technology
- PCB antennas are realized by means of printed circuit boards arranged on a printed circuit board.
- the circuit board 100 is made of a dielectric material, for example, fiber-reinforced synthetic resin (eg, FR-4 or the like).
- An antenna structure 110 is arranged on a front side 101 or a rear side 102.
- the antenna structure 110 is formed by strip conductors arranged on the board, the geometric configuration of which is designed depending on the desired transmission and reception properties.
- the antenna structure 110 may also extend over the front and rear sides 101, 102 of the circuit board 100.
- On the circuit board 100 also includes a plurality of separate antenna structures 110 may be ⁇ sorted, for example, for receiving radio signals in different frequency ranges.
- the lower end side has at least one metallized contact surface.
- two metallized contact surfaces 120 and 121 are provided on the front side (shown hatched in Fig. La).
- the Kon ⁇ clock surfaces may be tin-plated.
- the metallized contact surfaces are located not only on the front side of the board 100, but can also enclose the edge to the front side 101 and the edge to the back side 102 (see FIGS. 1b and 1d).
- the metallized contact surfaces 120 and 121 are connected to the antenna structure.
- FIG. 2 shows a part of a printed circuit board 200 on which the PCB antenna according to FIG. 1 is mounted.
- the PCB antenna 100 is arranged on the printed circuit board 200 in such a way that the contact surfaces 120 and 121 on the front side of the antenna board 100 lie flat against corresponding soldering pads 220 and 221 of the printed circuit board.
- the antenna board 100 Prior to assembly, applying a solder paste onto the solder pads üb ⁇ SHORT- to allow the subsequent reflow soldering. So that the antenna board 100 is fixed approximately perpendicular to the printed circuit board 200 before soldering and can not slip or fall over, the antenna can be glued to the printed circuit board 200, for example. As is customary in surface mounting, the adhesive is applied to the printed circuit board 200 before or after application of the solder paste or solder preforms. For the subsequent automatic placement antennas according to the example shown in Figure 1 can be provided strapped, which allows easy automatic processing.
- the antenna board 100 can have at least one projection 105 on its lower end side, which can be inserted into a corresponding slot 205 of the printed circuit board.
- the projection 105 may include a metallization. However, this is not necessarily necessary, since this projection 105 does not fulfill an electrical function, but merely serves to hold the antenna in the correct desired position on the printed circuit board 200 before soldering. Characterized in that the slot 205 is elongate (has the shape of a slot) and the projection 105 has a corresponding rectangular cross-section, the antenna board 100 is held against rotation in the slot 105.
- Figure 3 is an illustration of a printed circuit board 200 and an antenna according to Figure 1 in the assembled state.
- the antenna like other SMD components can be processed, resulting in a significant reduction of production costs made it ⁇ light.
- the assembly is simpler than in previous antenna designs, in particular eliminates a manual Be ⁇ piece of the circuit board with the antenna. A complex selective soldering process is no longer necessary. Rather, the PCB antenna 100 together with other SMD components in ⁇ example, by means of reflow soldering (solder layer 230) are connected to the circuit board 200.
