- the antenna device 7 according to the present embodiment is such that the antenna element 43 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal region 54 (non-conductive surface exposed from the notch 22) of the substrate 50 and the shape thereof is shown in FIG. Except for the differences, the second embodiment is the same as the sixth embodiment.
- the antenna element 43 includes a high-band portion 431 that is a plate-like conductor pattern whose tip is an open end, and a low-band portion 432 that is a meander-like conductor pattern whose tip is an open end.
- Each power supply end 430 is shared. That is, the ground conductor pattern 51 that is not electrically connected to the GND conductor pattern 58 is electrically connected to the base end (feed end 430) of the high band portion 431 and the conductor pattern (feed end 430) integral with the base end of the low band portion 432. Connected (conducts).
- the GND conductor pattern 58 is formed near the substantially trapezoidal region 54, and is a conductor pattern different from the GND conductor pattern 52.
- the high band portion 431 Since the high band portion 431 has a higher frequency band that resonates than the low band portion 432, it is relatively less susceptible to the influence of the ground plane 20. For this reason, the high band part 431 is formed at a position closer to the ground plane 20 than the low band part 432.
- the length from the proximal end to the distal end of the high band portion 431 (the length in the left-right direction in FIG. 14) is the length from the proximal end to the distal end of the low band portion 432 (in FIG. 14).
- the pattern shown in FIG. 14 does not always have to be used as long as it is a size that resonates in the LTE high band.
- FIG. 15 is a VSWR characteristic diagram, where the vertical axis represents VSWR and the horizontal axis represents frequency (MHz).
- the broken line indicates an example of the VSWR characteristic of the antenna device 6 according to the sixth embodiment
- the solid line indicates an example of the VSWR characteristic of the antenna device 7 according to the present embodiment.
- the antenna device 7 has a lower VSWR in the LTE low band and a smaller variation in the VSWR in the high band than the antenna device 6 of the sixth embodiment.
- FIG. 16 is a plan view of the antenna device main body portion of FIG. 11 viewed from below (the direction in which the ground plane 20 is installed), and the ground plane 20 is omitted for convenience.
- the antenna device 8 according to the present embodiment is different from the seventh embodiment in that both the high band portion 441 and the low band portion 442 of the antenna element 44 include meander-shaped elements. Note that the power feeding ends 440 of the high band unit 441 and the low band unit 442 are shared.
- the low band part 442 has a plate shape in which the element at the base end has a relatively larger area than other elements toward the tip end, and the element extending from the base end to the tip end has a meander shape.
- the first turn of the meander starts from a portion far from the feeding end 440 and the GND conductor pattern 58.
- the turn is below the portion parallel to the turn of the high band portion 441 (downward direction in FIG. 16). It extends for a long time. Therefore, the length (the left-right direction in FIG. 16) from the proximal end to the distal end of the low band portion 442 can be shortened.
- the tip of the low band portion 442 and the turn portion near the tip do not exceed the width of the element of the high band portion 441 (the vertical width in FIG. 16). That is, the distance between each turn portion or tip of the meander-like element and the GND conductor pattern 58 is always longer than that of the high band portion 441. Therefore, it is possible to suppress narrowing of the frequency range in which the VSWR is low to a practical level in the LTE low band.
- Fig. 17 shows the VSWR characteristics.
- the vertical axis represents VSWR, and the horizontal axis represents frequency (MHz).
- the broken line is an example of the VSWR characteristic of the antenna device 7 according to the seventh embodiment
- the solid line is an example of the VSWR characteristic of the antenna device 8 according to the present embodiment.
- the VSWR in the LTE low band is generally lower than that in the antenna device 7, and the phenomenon that the VSWR rapidly changes in the LTE high band is alleviated. I understand that
- the meander-shaped conductor pattern of the high band portion 441 and the low band portion 442 is not limited to the example described in the present embodiment, and can be arbitrarily modified as long as it resonates in the LTE frequency band.
- the conductor pattern of the antenna device 8 ′ shown in FIG. 18 may be used.
- the length from the proximal end to the distal end of the high band portion 451 is shorter than that shown in FIG. 16, and the distal end is higher than the height of the proximal end (vertical direction in FIG. 18). It is formed low.
- the area of the base end of the low band portion 452 is larger than that in the example shown in FIG. 16, and the number of meander turns is smaller than that in the example shown in FIG.
- the first turn of the element extending from the proximal end to the distal end starts from a portion closest to the feeding end 450 and the GND conductor pattern 51.
- the power feeding ends 450 of the high band portion 451 and the low band portion 452 are shared.
- the VSWR characteristics in this case are shown in FIG. 19, the broken line is an example of the VSWR characteristic of the antenna device 8 having the antenna element 44 shown in FIG. 16, and the solid line is an example of the VSWR characteristic of the antenna device 8 ′ having the antenna element 45 shown in FIG. .
- FIG. 19 in the case of the antenna device 8 ′, it can be seen that the VSWR in the frequency band exceeding 900 MHz in the LTE low band is lower, and the bandwidth can be increased.
- the position of the turn near the tips of the low band portions 442 and 452 does not exceed the width of the high band portions 441 and 451 (the vertical direction in the figure). It has been found that the range in which the VSWR can be satisfactorily maintained in the LTE low band out of the LTE low band suddenly narrows as the GND conductor pattern 58 is approached beyond the widths of 441 and 451.
- Embodiment 9 Embodiment 9 of the antenna device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 20A and 20B.
- 20A is a plan view of the antenna device body portion of FIG. 11 viewed from below (the direction in which the ground plane 20 is installed)
- FIG. 20B is a plan view of the antenna device body portion of FIG. 11 from above (the back side of FIG. 20A).
- FIG. The antenna device 9 according to the present embodiment is different from the eighth embodiment in the shape of the antenna element 46 and the formation position thereof.
- the antenna element 46 is formed on the non-conductive surface of the surface of the substantially trapezoidal region 54 in the substrate 50, and the feed conductor pattern 51 and the through conductor pattern 51 formed on the back surface of the region 54. It is electrically connected (conducted) in the hall.
- the high band portion 461 is formed along the shape of the outer edge of the GND conductor pattern 52 and at a certain distance from the outer edge. That is, in the section in which the outer edge of the GND conductor pattern 52 protrudes in the direction of the antenna element 46, the element extending from the base end of the high band portion 461 is linear, and the outer edge of the GND conductor pattern 52 has moved away from the antenna element 46.
- the low band part 462 has a plate-like shape in which the base end portion has a relatively larger area than other elements toward the tip end. Further, among the elements on the way to the tip, in the section where the high band portion 461 does not exist near the meander turn portion, the turn length is longer than the section where the turn is parallel to that of the high band portion 461 (see FIG. 20B). The length (downward) is longer. Therefore, the length (the left-right direction in FIG. 20B) extending from the base end of the low band portion 462 can be shortened. Further, any turn portion of the low band portion 462 does not extend toward the GND conductor pattern 52 from the element farthest from the GND conductor pattern 52 in the high band portion 461.
- the power feeding ends 460 of the high band unit 461 and the low band unit 462 are shared.
- the non-conductive surface of the substrate 50 is radio wave transmissive, radio waves can be transmitted or received on the surface of the substrate 50 on which the antenna element 46 is formed (the surface on which the patch antenna 10 is provided). And the average gain in the low band and the high band of LTE increases.
- FIGS. 21A and 21B Average gain characteristic diagram when the ground plate 20, the antenna element 46, the substrate 50, and the GND conductor patterns 52 and 58 of the antenna device 9 of the embodiment are arranged so as to be parallel to the ground and the operation is simulated. Is shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B.
- the radio wave transmitted or received by the antenna element 46 is horizontally polarized.
- FIG. 21A is an example of an average gain characteristic of horizontal polarization in the horizontal plane in the LTE low band
- FIG. 21B is an example of average gain characteristic of horizontal polarization in the horizontal plane in the LTE high band.
- the vertical axis represents the average gain (dBi) of horizontal polarization
- the horizontal axis represents the frequency (MHz).
- a broken line indicates an example of the average gain characteristic when the antenna element 46 is formed on the back surface of the substrate 50, that is, the region 54 shown in FIG. 20A, and a solid line indicates an example of the average gain characteristic in the antenna device 9 of the present embodiment. Show. It can be seen that the average gain is higher in most frequency bands when the antenna element 46 is formed on the surface of the substrate 50 as in the present embodiment. The average gain is higher on the front and back surfaces than on other frequency bands at around 810 MHz in the low band and around 1760 MHz in the high band.

Abstract
Description
図23におけるTEL用アンテナ・エレメント16は、LNA基板15上から地板20に対し鉛直方向に立ち上がり、その後平行に伸長するものである。この場合、TEL用アンテナ・エレメント16の地板20に垂直に鉛直方向に伸長する部分が主に電磁波を発生させる部位となり、偏波は地板20に対して垂直方向となる。TEL用アンテナ・エレメント16の地板20と水平方向の伸長した部分は、地板20近傍であることから、地板20には逆相の電流が発生し、地板20と平行な偏波(水平偏波)となる電磁波は発生しない。図23と実質同様の構造が下記特許文献1に開示されているが、同じ理由で電話用アンテナが発生する電磁波は垂直偏波が強勢となる。
これらの場合において、前記ハイバンド部と前記ローバンド部は、それぞれ、その先端が給電端から略平行に配置され、かつ、前記ローバンド部の先端が前記ハイバンド部の先端よりも前記地導体と導通する面部から遠く配置されるようにしてもよい。
なお、前記ローバンド部のミアンダ状のエレメントは前記ハイバンド部から最も近い部位からターンを開始することが望ましい。
図1A及び図1Bは本発明に係るアンテナ装置の実施の形態1を示す。これらの図において、アンテナ装置1は、車両としての自動車のインスツルメンツパネル内に配置されてGNSS信号を受信するGNSS用パッチアンテナ10と、地導体としての地板20と、共振型のアンテナエレメントの一例となるTEL用アンテナ・エレメント30とを備える。以下の説明では、GNSS用パッチアンテナを「パッチアンテナ」、TEL用アンテナ・エレメントを「アンテナ・エレメント」と称する。また、パッチアンテナ10、地板20、アンテナ・エレメント30を含む部分を「アンテナ装置本体部分」あるいは「主要部」と呼ぶ場合がある。
地板20の一部(本例では一部の端面)は、内側に切り欠かれている。以下、切り欠かれた部分を便宜上「切欠」と呼ぶ。図示の例では、地板20の一辺の端面の左右両縁部21を所定幅で残して切欠22が形成されている。アンテナ・エレメント30は、例えばL型形状の平板エレメントであってLNA基板15及び地板20と実質的に平行な面内で地板20と重ならない位置、換言すれば、切欠22の位置に設けられている。このとき、アンテナ・エレメント30の給電側(給電端)は地板20と一部重なってもよいが、アンテナ・エレメント30の主要部は地板20と重ならない。
アンテナ・エレメント30の給電端となる一端(L型形状の短辺の端部)は、LNA基板15の給電用導体パターン(図示省略)に接続される。アンテナ・エレメント30の他端(L型形状の長辺の端部)は開放端となっている。また、アンテナ・エレメント30は切欠22からはみ出さない配置である。なお、パッチアンテナ10の構成は図22と同様であり、説明は省略する。
図3は本発明に係るアンテナ装置の実施の形態2を示す。この図において、アンテナ装置2は、パッチアンテナ10とアンテナ・エレメント30とを備えるが、地板20の形状が異なっている。すなわち、地板20の一部の端面に、片側縁部23を所定幅で残して切欠24が形成されている。その他の構成は実施の形態1と同様である。
また、切欠24の内周縁部の全長が片側縁部23を残さないで直線的に切り欠いた場合に比べ長くなっているので、所望の周波数帯域において良好なアンテナ送受信特性を得ることが可能となる。また、アンテナ・エレメント30は切欠24からはみ出さないから、アンテナ・エレメント30を設置することに起因してアンテナ装置2の設置面積が増大することが無い。
図4は本発明に係るアンテナ装置の実施の形態3を示す。この図において、アンテナ装置3は、パッチアンテナ10とアンテナ・エレメント30とを備えるが、地板20の形状が異なっている。すなわち、地板20の一端面が、一方の縁から他方の縁に至るまで直線的に切り欠かれた結果、あたかも上記の切欠22が存在しないかの如く見える。その他の構成は実施の形態1と同様である。
図5は本発明に係るアンテナ装置の実施の形態4を示す。この図において、アンテナ装置4は、パッチアンテナ10とアンテナ・エレメント40とを備える。アンテナ・エレメント40は地板20と一体に形成されている。つまり、アンテナ・エレメント40は複数の端部を有しており、そのうちの一端は地板20(導電面)に電気的に接続され、アンテナ・エレメント40の他端が給電端41となる。なお、図5に示したアンテナ・エレメント40の形状、特に端部の配置や形状は例示であり、使用する周波数の共振長に応じて変更が可能である。また、アンテナ・エレメント40は、地板20と一体に形成する代わりに別部品の導体板で構成し、一端をはんだ付け等で接続した構造でもよい。その他の構成は実施の形態1と同様である。
図6から図10で本発明に係るアンテナ装置の実施の形態5を説明する。これらの図に示すように、アンテナ装置5は、パッチアンテナ10とアンテナ・エレメント30(図9~図10)が設けられた基板50と、基板50が固定された地導体としての地板20と、基板50及び地板20を含むアンテナ装置本体部分を車両に設けられたアンテナ取付機構(図示省略)へ離脱自在に装着可能な収容するホルダ60とを備えている。基板50は地板20に対してネジ67で複数箇所で固定されている。また、ホルダ60は地板20の左右両縁部21を保持する。
アンテナ・エレメント30は、例えば、F型形状であり、長エレメント部30a及び短エレメント部30bを有する。長エレメント部30aは、切欠22の開口に臨む縁に近い(図示の場合、縁に沿った)配置であり、短エレメント部30bは長エレメント部30aよりも内側に配置されている。アンテナ・エレメント30の給電端となる一端は、基板50の給電用導体パターン51と導通し、基板50の底面に固定されたコネクタ55の端子に電気的に接続される。パッチアンテナ10の受信信号もコネクタ55の他の端子に導出されている。この結果、パッチアンテナ10及びアンテナ・エレメント30は、コネクタ55を介して車内の電子機器に電気的に接続される。なお、その他の構成は実施の形態1と同様である。
図11から図14で本発明に係るアンテナ装置の実施の形態6を説明する。図11は本実施の形態におけるアンテナ装置本体部分の外観斜視図である。本実施の形態のアンテナ装置6は、地板20及び基板50の形状・構造と、アンテナ・エレメント42が実施の形態5のものと少し異なる。その他は実施の形態5と同じである。すなわち、本実施の形態におけるアンテナ装置6では、地板20の左右両縁部21が実施の形態5のものよりも短く、その分だけ凹状の切欠22の面積が小さくなっている。左右両縁部21には、図示しないアンテナカバーへの取付孔28が設けられている。アンテナカバーが取り付けられたアンテナ装置本体部分は、ホルダ60に挿入、保持される。アンテナ装置本体部分がホルダ60に保持されたアンテナ装置6は、インスツルメンツパネル内に固定される。
基板50の両端間の長さは、地板20の同方向の長さとほぼ同じである。また、基板50の略台形状の領域54の先端部は、地板20の左右両端部21の先端部同士を結ぶ線上にある。
ローバンド部422は、その先端が開放端であり、その基端がハイバンド部421のうち給電端420に対して遠く離れた部分から延びる。ローバンド部422は、また、LTEのローバンド(699MHz~960MHz)の信号の送受信を可能にするサイズになるように、基板50の外周に沿って、途中からエレメントが折れ曲がる部分(以下、「ターン」)の向きとエレメント長とを変えながら形成されている。
ハイバンド部421は、LTEのハイバンド(1710MHz~2690MHz)の信号の送受信を可能にするサイズに設計されている。上述した給電用導体パターン51には、ハイバンド部421の基端でもある給電端420が電気的に接続される(導通する)。
なお、ハイバンド部421は、ローバンド部422に比べて共振する周波数帯が高いので、相対的に地板20の影響を受けにくい。このため、ハイバンド部421は、ローバンド部422よりも地板20に近い位置に形成されている。
図14及び図15で本発明に係るアンテナ装置の実施の形態7を説明する。図14は図11のアンテナ装置本体部分を下方(地板20が設置される方向)から見た平面図であり、便宜上、地板20が省略されている。本実施の形態のアンテナ装置7は、アンテナ・エレメント43が基板50のうち略台形の領域54(切欠22から露出する非導電面)に形成される点及びその形状が図12に示したものと異なる点以外は、実施の形態6と同じである。
ハイバンド部431は、ローバンド部432に比べて共振する周波数帯が高いので、相対的に地板20の影響を受けにくい。このため、ハイバンド部431は、ローバンド部432よりも地板20に近い位置に形成されている。
なお、図14の例では、ハイバンド部431の基端から先端までの長さ(図14中、左右方向の長さ)は、ローバンド部432の基端から先端までの長さ(図14中、左右方向の長さ)よりも短いが、LTEのハイバンドにおいて共振するサイズであればよいので、常に図14に示されるパターンにしなければならないものではない。
図16から図19で本発明に係るアンテナ装置の実施の形態8を説明する。図16は、図11のアンテナ装置本体部分を下方(地板20が設置される方向)から見た平面図であり、便宜上、地板20が省略されている。本実施の形態のアンテナ装置8は、アンテナ・エレメント44のハイバンド部441とローバンド部442のいずれもミアンダ形状のエレメントを含む点が実施の形態7と異なる。なお、ハイバンド部441とローバンド部442のそれぞれの給電端440は共有されている。
また、ローバンド部442の先端及び先端付近のターンの部分はハイバンド部441のエレメントの幅(図16の上下方向の幅)を超えない。つまり、ミアンダ状のエレメントの各ターンの部分や先端とGND導体パターン58との距離がハイバンド部441よりも常に長くなる。そのため、LTEのローバンドにおいてVSWRが実用レベルまで低い周波数の範囲の狭帯域化を抑制することができる。
この場合のVSWR特性を図19に示す。図19中、破線は図16に示したアンテナ・エレメント44を有するアンテナ装置8のVSWR特性例であり、実線は図18に示したアンテナ・エレメント45を有するアンテナ装置8’のVSWR特性例である。図19に示されるように、アンテナ装置8’の場合、LTEのローバンドのうち900MHzを超える周波数帯域でのVSWRがより低く、広帯域化が図れることがわかる。
図20A,図20Bで本発明に係るアンテナ装置の実施の形態9を説明する。図20Aは、図11のアンテナ装置本体部分を下方(地板20が設置される方向)から見た平面図であり、図20Bは図11のアンテナ装置本体部分を上方(図20Aの裏側)から見た平面図である。本実施の形態のアンテナ装置9は、アンテナ・エレメント46の形状とその形成位置が実施の形態8と異なる。
なお、ハイバンド部461とローバンド部462のそれぞれの給電端460は共有されている。
本実施の形態のように、アンテナ・エレメント46を基板50の表面に形成した方が、ほとんどの周波数帯においても平均利得が高くなっていることがわかる。
また、ローバンドでは810MHz前後、ハイバンドでは1760MHz前後で、表面及び裏面とも、他の周波数帯よりも平均利得が高くなっている。
