Abstract

Mit der Erfindung wird das Problem gelöst, Kraftfahrzeuge, deren Karosserie unter teilweiser bis weitgehender Verwendung von Teilen aus Kunststoff hergestellt wird, mit Antennen auszustatten. Die Erfindung weist gleichzeitig einen Weg auf, die Konfiguration und die Funktion derartiger Antennen experimentell und rechnerisch zu optimieren. Dabei werden die Antennen vorzugsweise unter dem Gesichtspunkt ausgewählt, daß sie in den Fahrzeugaufbau integriert werden können und den Formfluß der Karosse nicht stören.The invention solves the problem of motor vehicles whose Body with partial to extensive use of parts is made of plastic to equip with antennas. The invention also has one way, the configuration and the function of such antennas experimentally and computationally to optimize. The antennas are preferably under the Selected point of view that it integrated into the vehicle body can be and do not interfere with the shape flow of the body.

Gemäß der Erfindung werden Karosserieteile, die aus flächigen und aus stabförmigen Kunststoff-Elementen bestehen, zumindest zu einem Teil mit Flächen und Bahnen einer elektrisch gut leitenden Metallbeschichtung versehen, die so strukturiert werden, daß sich einerseits Antennen für gleiche und für unterschiedliche Frequenzen und andererseits Massebezugsflächen sowie Bereiche mit gezielt abschirmender Wirkung ergeben. Dabei werden, in Abhängigkeit von der Betriebsfrequenz und vom erforderlichen Strahlungsdiagramm, Strahler mit unterschiedlichem Aufbau und Funktionsprinzip ausgebildet.
Um z.B. Rundumcharakteristik im horizontalen Strahlungsdiagramm zu gewährleisten, werden mehrere Antennen mit Richtcharakteristik um das Fahrzeug verteilt angeordnet und das Signal phasenrichtig summiert, oder es wird mit mehreren, entsprechend den Gegebenheiten verteilten Antennen eine Mehrantennen-Anordnung für Antennendiversity gebildet.
Bei Fensterscheiben aus Kunststoff und aus Kunststoff/Glas-Kombinationen mit einer elektrisch gut leitenden Metallisierung wird die Metallisierung für bestimmte Frequenzen als separate, vom umgebenden Rahmen getrennte HF-wirksame Fläche ausgebildet, die als Antenne nutzbar ist, oder die nichtleitende Umrandung wird zur Ausbildung von Schlitzantennen genutzt.According to the invention, body parts, which consist of flat and rod-shaped plastic elements, are at least partially provided with surfaces and tracks of an electrically highly conductive metal coating, which are structured in such a way that antennas for the same and for different frequencies are present on the one hand, and ground reference surfaces on the other as well as areas with a targeted shielding effect. Depending on the operating frequency and the required radiation diagram, emitters with different structures and functional principles are designed.
In order to ensure all-round characteristics in the horizontal radiation diagram, for example, several antennas with directional characteristics are arranged around the vehicle and the signal is summed in phase, or a multiple antenna arrangement for antenna diversity is formed with several antennas distributed according to the circumstances.
In the case of window panes made of plastic and of plastic / glass combinations with an electrically highly conductive metallization, the metallization for certain frequencies is designed as a separate HF-effective area that is separate from the surrounding frame and can be used as an antenna, or the non-conductive border is used to form Slot antennas used.

Zur experimentellen und rechnergestützten Auswahl, Positionierung und Bemaßung der Antennen auf den Karosserie-Elementen aus Kunststoff wurde ein Simulationsmodell aus dielektrischem Material konzipiert, das in den Umrissen und Abmessungen ein Kraftfahrzeug nachbildet. Auf einer Bodenplatte können mit einem Stabwerk Personenkraftwagen in verschiedenen Varianten erstellt werden. Sie werden mit flächigen Elementen mit aufgelegten Metallfolien und metallischen Anstrichen verkleidet. Die metallische Beschichtung nimmt die zu untersuchenden Antennenstrukturen auf bzw. dient als partielle Masseflächen.
Durch einen einfachen Aufbau der Modellvarianten und Verwendung von ebenen Verkleidungsteilen wird die rechnerische Nachbildung erleichtert.

For the experimental and computer-aided selection, positioning and dimensioning of the antennas on the plastic body elements, a simulation model made of dielectric material was designed, which simulates the shape and dimensions of a motor vehicle. Various types of passenger cars can be created on a base plate using a rod structure. They are covered with flat elements with metal foils and metallic coatings. The metallic coating accommodates the antenna structures to be examined or serves as partial ground surfaces.
The mathematical simulation is made easier by a simple structure of the model variants and the use of flat cladding parts.
