Abstract

Multi-beam antenna for a mobile telephone base station basically comprising: a two-dimensional array of radiating elements (2) having double polarization, the radiating elements (2) being grouped in arrays (3a, 3b, ..) one-dimensional or multi-dimensional, being both the different arrays (3a, 3b, ...) of radiating elements (2) and the distribution networks completely independent of each other, with the vertical and horizontal beam widths of each array of radiating elements being personalized and optimized independently of the rest of beams so that each distribution network or phase shifter (5) has movable parts that vary the phase provided to the radiating elements (2), allowing to dynamically vary the azimuth angle of each array (3a, 3b, ..) completely independently.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE. A la vista de las comentadas figuras y de acuerdo con la numeración adoptada podemos observar cómo se describe una antena multi-haz para estación base de telefonía móvil, cuya DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT.

En contraposición se pueden seleccionar arrays unidimensionales que presentan ancho de haz vertical aproximado de 60 grados, o bien arrays con tres o más elementos radiantes en dirección vertical, disminuyendo más el ancho de haz pero aumentando la complejidad y tamaño de la antena. Dos elementos radiantes en dirección vertical es la mejor solución de compromiso entre ancho de haz y dimensión de la antena. En el caso práctico de la presente invención de cinco haces con ganancias superiores a 20dBi por haz en la banda de 1710-2690MHz, la antena presenta dimensiones asequibles de 1100 x 1300mm (figura 10). El ancho de haz vertical de 30 grados presenta además la ventaja de dar muy buena cobertura a toda una grada de un estadio de futbol sin necesidad de ofrecer tilt eléctrico, simplificando por tanto el esquema global de la antena. No obstante la antena puede ser instalada con tilt mecánico si así se desea sin degradar el diagrama de radiación gracias al amplio ancho de haz vertical. In contrast, one-dimensional arrays can be selected that have an approximate vertical beam width of 60 degrees, or arrays with three or more radiating elements in the vertical direction, further decreasing the beam width but increasing the complexity and size of the antenna. Two radiating elements in the vertical direction is the best compromise solution between beam width and antenna dimension. In the practical case of the present invention of five beams with gains greater than 20dBi per beam in the band of 1710-2690MHz, the antenna has affordable dimensions of 1100 x 1300mm (Figure 10). The vertical beam width of 30 degrees also has the advantage of giving very good coverage to a whole tier of a football stadium without the need to offer electric tilt, thus simplifying the overall antenna scheme. However, the antenna can be installed with mechanical tilt if desired without degrading the radiation pattern thanks to the wide vertical beam width.

Una tercera ejecución práctica se muestra en la figura 11, donde se han añadido dos arrays 3a y 3e unidimensionales que dan cobertura a los extremos de la celda con menor densidad población, ampliando así la zona de cobertura sin añadir complejidad a la antena. La ventaja de esta realización con respecto a la mostrada en la figura 7 es la disminución de dimensiones de la antena costa ampliar más ancho de haz vertical de los haces extremos. A third practical execution is shown in Figure 11, where two three-dimensional arrays 3a and 3e have been added that give coverage to the ends of the cell with lower population density, thus expanding the coverage area without adding complexity to the antenna. The advantage of this embodiment with respect to that shown in Figure 7 is the decrease in dimensions of the coastal antenna to extend wider vertical beam width of the extreme beams.

Con las explicaciones anteriores el lector puede inferir múltiples combinaciones posibles de implementación sujetas a la presente invención. With the foregoing explanations the reader can infer multiple possible combinations of implementation subject to the present invention.

La figura 12a muestra un esquema del mecanismo con el que se ha dotado la antena multihaz objeto de esta invención para el ajuste remoto de la dirección de apuntamiento azimutal de cada uno de los haces que componen la antena. Como norma general, el mecanismo está compuesto de un módulo electrónico 9 y de tantos módulos de accionamiento mecánico 8a, 8b, .. 8e como desfasadores 5a, .. 5e haya presentes en la antena, cinco en la realización práctica que nos ocupa. Figure 12a shows a diagram of the mechanism with which the multi-beam antenna object of this invention has been provided for the remote adjustment of the azimuthal pointing direction of each of the beams that make up the antenna. As a general rule, the mechanism is composed of an electronic module 9 and of so many mechanical actuation modules 8a, 8b, .. 8e as phase shifters 5a, .. 5e are present in the antenna, five in the practical embodiment at hand.

La figura 12b muestra un esquema del modo en el que el módulo de accionamiento mecánico se acopla a los desfasadores para hacer posible el ajuste dinámico de la dirección del haz principal. Figure 12b shows a schematic of the way in which the mechanical drive module is coupled to the phase shifters to enable dynamic adjustment of the main beam direction.

Para hacer posible la variación de apuntamiento acimutal de cada uno de los haces de radiación es preciso variar la fase de la señal que se aporta a cada uno de los elementos de To make possible the azimuthal pointing variation of each of the radiation beams, it is necessary to vary the phase of the signal that is provided to each of the elements of

La conexión entre el módulo electrónico 9 y cada uno de los módulos de accionamiento se hace a través de cables 50i que llevan las señales de accionamiento de giro de los motores más los sensores necesarios para la detección del movimiento/paro. The connection between the electronic module 9 and each of the drive modules is made through cables 50i that carry the motor rotation signals plus the sensors necessary for motion / stop detection.

5 En la materialización práctica de esta invención los medios para el ajuste del azimuth se han dispuesto como un sistema integrado a la antena, donde tanto módulo electrónico como sistemas de accionamiento mecánico y motores están dentro del mismo radomo que envuelve la antena. No obstante se puede disponer tanto interno como externo sin suponer ninguna novedad a lo presentado en esta invención. In the practical embodiment of this invention, the means for azimuth adjustment have been arranged as an integrated system to the antenna, where both electronic module and mechanical drive systems and motors are within the same radome that surrounds the antenna. However, both internal and external can be arranged without assuming any novelty to what is presented in this invention.

10 El mecanismo de ajuste de azimut se ha diseñado para ser accionado manualmente así como remotamente, tal cual se conocen actualmente los sistemas de ajuste de tilt. 10 The azimuth adjustment mechanism is designed to be operated manually as well as remotely, as tilt adjustment systems are currently known.

El mecanismo de ajuste de azimut incluye un indicador 14 visible desde el exterior que 15 señala el azimut configurado para cada haz. The azimuth adjustment mechanism includes an indicator 14 visible from the outside that indicates the azimuth configured for each beam.

En la presente invención se da solución a esta necesidad proponiendo una realización de antena multi-haz con direcciones de apuntamiento azimutales configurables dinámicamente y anchos de haz reducidos, a la vez que se mantienen las prestaciones generales para In the present invention, this need is met by proposing a multi-beam antenna embodiment with dynamically configurable azimuthal pointing directions and reduced beam widths, while maintaining the general performance for

20 antenas de estación base, como el aislamiento entre polarizaciones y entre haces de 30dB. 20 base station antennas, such as isolation between polarizations and between 30dB beams.

Con todo esto se consigue una sectorización óptima de la celda para eventos multitudinarios tales como conciertos o estadios deportivos. With all this, an optimal sectorization of the cell is achieved for mass events such as concerts or sports stadiums.
