Since the outer and inner shell of the lens can be used for beam shaping, there are two degrees of freedom. In order to be able to implement the simple anti-reflection layer, it is necessary that the wave fronts of the high-frequency signal emerge from the material of the outer shell 10 as parallel as possible to the lens surface. Therefore the hemispherical geometry is chosen for the outer shell.
- the inner, rotationally symmetrical shell 9 can be adapted to different spatial situations.
- a ⁇ / 4 anti-reflection layer for the dielectric-air transition grooves are screwed symmetrically into the material of the lens. These grooves must be smaller than the wavelength in the substrate.
- These grooves of suitable depth and in a suitable duty cycle make a simple anti-reflective layer possible without the additional application of a layer. For example, with a duty cycle of 1: 1, grooves 0.5 mm wide and 1 mm deep are cut into the lens. This avoids reflection losses and improves the efficiency of the antenna. In addition, the radiation characteristics of the antenna are smoothed.

Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Antenne zum Abstrahlen von hochfrequenten Funksignalen nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs. Aus der Veröffentlichung Sven Zimmermann: "Investigations of antennas for an indoor wideband communication System at 60 GHz", IEEE Workshop Mobile Millimeter Communications (MMMCOM), Technische Universität Dresden, 12-13.5. 1997, Seiten 89-92, ist bekannt, Antennen für die Kommunikation zwischen einer Basisstation und mehreren Mobilstationen in einem geschlossenen Raum als Linsenantenne auszubilden. Ziel dieser Antenne ist es, in einem System zur hochbitratigen Datenübertragung im Frequenzbereich von 60 GHz Funkverbindungen von einer unter der Decke angebrachten Basisstation zu mehreren in einem geschlossenen Raum befindlichen Mobilstationen aufzubauen. Das am Eingang einer Antenne anliegende hochfrequente Signal der Basisstation wird mit Hilfe der Antenne in den zu versorgenden Raum abgestrahlt. Die Strahlungscharakteristik der Antenne ermöglicht die gleichmäßige Versorgung der gesamten Raumfläche in einer definierten Arbeitshöhe. Unter anderem werden Mobilstationen in weiterer Entfernung mit mehr Sendeleistung versorgt, als Mobilstationen die sich in kurzen Entfernungen unterhalb der sendenden Antenne befinden. Das direkt senkrecht zum Boden gerichtete Signal besitzt einen kleineren Leistungspegel, als das Signal, das gegen die Begrenzungswände des Raumes abgestrahlt wird. Bei der Signalübertragung zwischen Basisstation und Mobilstation sollen Reflektionen durch Mehrwegeausbreitung vermieden werden. Ansonsten überlagern sich am Empfangsort einzelne Wellen, so daß es je nach Phasenlage bis zur Auslöschung durch Interferenzen der Gesamtfeldstärke kommt. Die vorgeschlagene Antenne für das Abstrahlen des hochfrequenten Signals der Basisstation besteht aus einer linsenförmigen Plexiglasform, die von einem Wellenleiter gespeist wird. Die Geometrie der äußeren Schale der Linse ist an die Gegebenheiten des Raumes angepaßt, der mit dem Hochfrequenz Signal versorgt werden soll. Die abgestrahlten Funksignale sind linear polarisiert. Durch die Geometrie der äußeren Schale der Linse entstehen Reflektionsverluste im Übergang zwischen Linsenmaterial und Luft. Zudem müssen die Antennen der mobilen Teilnehmer so ausgerichtet werden, daß sie die linear polarisierten Signale geeignet empfangen.The invention is based on an antenna for radiating high-frequency radio signals according to the genus of the main claim.

Die erfindungsgemäße Antenne mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs hat dem gegenüber den Vorteil, daß die innere Schale der dielektrischen Linse eine an den Raum angepaßte Geometrie aufweist, während die äußere Schale aus einer Halbkugel besteht. Dadurch ist es einfacher möglich eine Antireflektionsschicht aufzubringen und Reflektionsverluste beim Übergang von Linsenmaterial und Luft zu vermeiden.The antenna according to the invention with the characteristic features of the main claim has the advantage that the inner shell of the dielectric lens one to the room has adapted geometry, while the outer shell a hemisphere.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigt Figur 1 das Kommunikationssystem und Figur 2 die erfindungsgemäße Antenne.An embodiment is shown in the drawings and explained in more detail in the following description. It Figure 1 shows the communication system and Figure 2 shows the antenna according to the invention.
Figur 1 zeigt eine Basisstation 1 und mehrere Mobilstationen
2, die über Funksignale miteinander kommunizieren. Die
mobilen Stationen 2 befinden sich in einem geschlossenen
Raum, der durch eine Wand 4 und eine Decke 3 begrenzt ist.
Die von der Basisstation abgestrahlten Funksignale sind zu
einem Abstrahlkegel 5 geformt. Figure 1 shows a base station 1 and several
Es ist zu erkennen, daß der Abstrahlkegel so geformt ist, daß möglichst Reflektionen an der Wand 4 vermieden werden. Die Sendeleistung ist innerhalb des Abstrahlkegels unterschiedlich, sie ist im Mantelbereich des Kegels höher, um weiter entfernte Mobilstationen mit Sendeleistung versorgen zu können und verringert sich in der Mitte des Abstrahlkegels.It can be seen that the radiation cone is shaped so that possible reflections on the wall 4 are avoided. The transmission power is different within the radiation cone, it is higher in the mantle region of the cone Provide more distant mobile stations with transmission power to be able to and decreases in the middle of the radiation cone.
Figur 2 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Antenne 6, die aus einem
Primärstrahler 13 und einer dielektrischen Linse 12 besteht.
Der Primärstrahler 13 besteht aus einem Hohlleiter 7, an dem
eine Helixantenne 8 angebracht ist. Der Primärstrahler ragt
in die innere Schale der dielektrischen Linse 12 hinein. Die
äußere Schale 10 der dielektrischen Linse 12 ist halbkugelförmig
ausgebildet. Auf der halbkugelförmigen Oberfläche der
äußeren Schale 10 befindet sich die Antireflektionsschicht
11.FIG. 2 shows the
Die Antenne der Basisstation besteht aus einem Primärstrahler
und der dielektrischen Linse. Der Primärstrahler 13 wird
direkt durch den Hohlleiter erregt, wodurch keine Übergänge
und zusätzliche Schnittstellen notwendig sind. Der Primärstrahler
erzeugt ein 60° breites Strahlungsdiagramm mit
zirkularer Polarisation, das durch die dielektrische Linse
12 zum Solldiagramm geformt wird. Die Form der
dielektrischen Linse richtet sich nach der räumlichen
Geometrie und kann an jede Raumsituation angepaßt werden. Da
zur Strahlformung die äußere und die innere Schale der Linse
genutzt werden kann, sind zwei Freiheitsgrade vorhanden. Um
die einfache Antireflektionsschicht realisieren zu können,
ist es notwendig, daß die Wellenfronten des
Hochfrequenzsignals möglichst parallel zur Linsenoberfläche
aus dem Material der äußeren Schale 10 austreten. Deshalb
wird für die äußere Schale die halbkugelförmige Geometrie
gewählt. Die innere, rotationssymetrische Schale 9 kann an
verschiedene Raumsituationen angepaßt werden. Die Linse
selbst besteht aus einem dielektrischen Material, das
einfach zu bearbeiten ist. Beispielsweise wird Polyethylen
mit einem εr = 2,14 verwendet. Als λ/4-Antireflektionsschicht
für den Übergang Dielektrikum-Luft
werden in das Material der Linse symmetrisch Nuten
eingedreht. Diese Nuten müssen kleiner als die Wellenlänge
im Substrat sein. Durch diese Nuten geeigneter Tiefe und in
einem geeigneten Tastverhältnis wird eine einfache Antireflexschicht
ohne zusätzliches Aufbringen einer Schichtung
möglich. Beispielsweise wird bei einem Tastverhältnis von
1:1 Nuten von 0,5 mm Breite und 1 mm Tiefe in die Linse
geschnitten. Dadurch werden Reflektionsverluste vermieden
und der Wirkungsgrad der Antenne verbessert. Zudem wird die
Strahlungscharakteristik der Antenne geglättet.The antenna of the base station consists of a primary radiator and the dielectric lens. The
