Abstract

A log-periodic dipole antenna (10) includes a boom (12) which through insulator blocks (15) carries a plurality of elements (13) consisting of element halves (13A, 13B) which extend in opposite directions from the boom (12). Spaced transmission wires (38A, 38B) extend along the boom (12) without crossing each other and yet communicate with alternatingly opposite element halves (13A, 13B) of adjacent elements (13) in view of their connection with brackets (30A, 30B) attached to element halves (13A, 13B).

The transmission wires (38A, 38B) are spaced a,t the point of communication with each element (13) a distance proportional to the impedance of that particular element (13) by virtue of their being attached at different locations along the brackets (30A, 30B).

Description

Docket No. AUT.P0014 1 LOG-PERIODIC DIPOLE ANTENNA
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to the construction and design of antennas.
More particularly, this invention relates to the construction and design of log-periodic dipole antennas.
BACKGROUND ART
Antennas of the log-periodic dipole type are designed to assist in the transmission or reception of radio wave signals. These antennas include a plurality of spaced elements which are carried by and extend outwardly from an insulator which is attached to a boom. Feeder or transmission wires are connected to the elements to carry the signals to be transmitted or the signals received by the elements.
Several problems exist regarding the current design and configuration of such antennas. For example; one problem related to these antennas is that in the current designs the transmission wires must cross each other so that their attachment to adjacent elements can be made on alternating sides of the boom. However, the crossover of the transmission or feeder wires has an effect on the impedance created by the wires. The impedance of the transmission line is dependent on the diameter of the two wires and the distance between them. As you allow the wires to cross each other, the distance between them varies and thus the impedance varies. But the impedance of the transmission wires should rernain constant and match the impedance of the elements so that a maximum transfer of the signal exists from the elements to the transmission lines or from the transmission lines to the elements.
Regarding impedance matching; the impedance of a element is a function of its length-to-diameter ratio. If you know the impedance of the transmission wires, based bn their diameter~and spacing, as discussed above, the elements must be designed to match such impedance. However, in the typical array of elements, their lengths vary from element to element and thus, if the impedance of the feeder wires is constant, the diameter of the elements Docket No. AUT.P0014 must be varied. This can add to the cost and weight of the antenna and requires the design and use of insulators capable of receiving elements of substantially varying sizes.
As a result, the need exists for a simple system for matching the impedance of the transmission wires to the elements, while at the same time avoiding the need to cross the transmission wires.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
It is thus an abject of the present invention to provide an antenna which has transmission wires which do not cross and yet which are connected to adjacent elements which extend from opposite sides of the boom.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an antenna, as above, in which the impedance of the transmission wires can be matched to the varying impedances of the elements by varying the spacing between the transmission wires.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide an antenna, as above, in which the impedance of the transmission wires can be matched to the varying impedances of the elements by varying the diameter of the transmission wires.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an antenna, as above, which can utilize elements of a constant diameter, and insulators which attach the elements to the boom of a single size and design.
These and other objects of the present invention, as well as the advantages thereof over existing prior art forms, which will become apparent from the description to follow, are accomplished by the improvements hereinafter described and claimed.
In general, an antenna made in accordance with one aspect of the present invention includes a longitudinally extending boom and a plurality of elements carried by the boom at longitudinally spaced locations. Each element has a first portion extending laterally from the boom in one direction, and a second portion extending from the boom in the opposite direction. First and second transmission wires extend along the boom without crossing each other. The first transmission wire alternatingly communicates with the first and Docket No. AUZ.P0014 second portions of adjacent elements, and the second transmission wire alternatingly communicates with the portions of the elements with which the first transmission wire is not communicating.
In accordance with yet another object of the present invention, the longitudinal boom carries a plurality of elements having differing impedances.
The spaced transmission wires communicate with the elements and the diameter of the wires at the point of communication is dependent on the impedance of that element.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the longitudinally extending boom carries a plurality of elements having differing impedances. Spaced transmission wires communicate with the elements, the spacing of the wires at the paint of communication with an element being dependent on the impedance of that element.
A preferred exemplary antenna incorporating the concepts of the present invention is shown by way of example in the accompanying drawings without attempting to show all the various form:. and modifications in which the invention might be embodied, the invention being measured by the appended claims and not by the details of the specification.

PREFERRED EMDODIMENT FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A log-periodic dipole antenna is somewhat schematically shown in Fig. 1 and indicated generally by the numeral 10. Antenna 10 normally includes a tower 11 which carries a horizontally and longitudinally extending boom 12. A plurality of longitudinally spaced elements 13 are made up of half elements 13A and 13B which extend laterally from boom 12 in opposite directions from boom 12. As shown, elements '13 are of varying length and number dependent on the design parameters of antenna 10. Antenna 10 of Fig. 1 is shown as having sixteen elements 13 with elements 13 increasing in length from the left to the right as viewed in Fig. 1.
Elements 13 must be isolated from boom 1 ~. As such, an insulator assembly, generally indicated by the numeral 14, is provided at each junction of elements 13 with boom 12. Insulator assembly 14 is best shown in Fig. 2, and its primary component, an insulator block, is generally indicated by the numeral 15. Insulator block 15 is preferably made of a strong, rigid, ultra-violet resistant plastic material, such as rigid thermoplastic polyurethane or the like, and includes opposed shoulders 16 which define at least one element receiving compartment 17 therebetween. Compartment 17 has an arcuate bottom surface designed to generally match thE: circumference of a range of sizes of elements 13. Opposed sidewalls 18 (one shown) extend downwardly from shoulders 16 and are provided with sloped surfaces 19 which are interconnected by a generally semicircular surface 20.
Insulator assembly 14 also includes two conventional band clamps having a body portion in the form of a band 21, and a clamping portion 22.
Bands 21 of the band clamps are adapted to engage boom 12 which extends through the space defined by a portion of bands 21 and semicircular surfaces 20 of block sidewalls 18. To attach insulator block 15 to boom 12, a portion of bands 21 is positioned between sidewails 18, and bolts 23 received vvithin bands 21 are utilized to hold bands 21 within block 15. Boom 12 is then Docket No. AUT.P0014 5 positioned within bands 21 and received against surfaces 20, and clamping portions 22 are tightened to hold boom 12 in place.
In order to attach element portions or halves 13A and 13B to insulator block 15, the inner ends of element halves 13A and 13B may be provided with two sets of diametrically opposed apertures, and when the ends of halves 13A and 13B are positioned in compartments 17, as shown in Fig. 2, these apertures may receive fasteners 24 therethrough to attach element halves 13A and 13B to block 15.
Each insulator assembly 14 also includes extension brackets, generally indicated by the numeral 30, which are attached to elements 13 by fasteners 24. Specifically, a bracket 30A is attached to element half 13A and a bracket 30B is attached to element half 13B. Brackets 30A and 30B are preferably identical, and each are generally U-shaped. That is, brackets 30A
and 30B include opposing legs 31 and 32 joined by connecting leg 33. The opposing legs 31 and 32 are generally parallel and extend perpendicularly from connecting leg 33. A rectangular base portion 34 may be integral with leg 31 and overlies and is attached to an element half via fasteners 24. I_eg 31 extends from base portion 34 to a position longitudinally adjacent to, but not contacting, the other element half. Ttius, leg 3~I of bracket 30A is adjacent to element half 13B, and leg 31 of bracket 30B is adjacent to element half 13A.
Because of the U-shape, leg 32 is diaposed above leg 31 and rectangular base portion 34. A feed or transmission wire post 35 is carried by each leg 32. Each wire post 35 incorporates a wire sleeve 36 for connectively engaging the transmission or feeder wires in a manner to be described. As will hereinafter be discussed, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, posts 35 are positioned at different locations for each insulator assembly 14, and for ease of manufacturing, identical brackets 30 may be manufactured having a plurality of spaced apertures or perforations 37. Posts are thus selectively mountable to perforations 37, dependent on the desired 30 spacing thereof. Alternatively, a plurality of brackets 30 could be manufactured each having an aperture 37 disposed at a designed location - but a location different from the other brackets 30. However, again, for economy, it is Docket No. AUT.P0014 preferable to manufacture all brackets 30 alike with the plurality of spaced apertures 37, as shown.
As was previously discussed, it is desirable that the transmission or feeder wires, shown in Figs. 3 and 4 and identified as wires 38A and 38B, should be attached to opposite portions of each successive or adjacent element 13. To that end, in the prior art, it was disadvantageously required that the transmission wires crossed as they extended between elements.
However, in accordance with the present invention, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, wires 38A and 38B do not cross between adjacent elements 13 and yet are attached to opposite element halves of adjacent elements, as now to be described.
Fig. 3 depicts two adjacent elements on boom 12, one having element portions or halves 13A, and 138,, and i:he other having element portions or halves 13A2 and 13B2. As shown, transmission wire 38A is connected to leg 32 of bracket 30B, and is therE;fore attached to element half 13B,. At the adjacent element, transmission wire 38A is attached to leg 32 of bracket 30A2 and is therefore attached to element half 13A2. Similarly, transmission wire 38B, at the left in Fig. 3, is attached to leg 32 of bracket 30A~
and is therefore attached to element half 13A,. At the adjacent element, transmission wire 38B is attached to leg 32 of bracket 3082 and is therefore attached to element half 1382. .The desirable phase reversal is thus accomplished without crossing wires 38A and 38B. Such a reversal configuration continues for each adjacent elemE;nt 13 with wires 38A and 38B
being alternatively connected to element halves 13A and 13B.
It should be also noted that because 'wires 38A and 38B are carried by posts 35 and wire sleeves 36, they will pass over the top of a bracket 30 that they are not to be attached to. That is, for example, as shown at the left of Fig. 3, wire 38A is carried by a post 35 and wire sleeve 36 on bracket 30B,, and thus wire 38A will pass over leg 32 of bracket 30A,. Likewise, as wire 38A
approaches element halves 13A2 and 13B2, it will pass over leg 32 of bracket 30B2 to be attached to post 35 and wire sleeve 36 of bracket 30A2.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, because transmission wires 38A and 38B do not cross, it is possible to more easily Docket No. AUT.P0014 7 match the impedance thereof to that of the elements. As previously described, it is desirable to match the impedance of the wires to the impedance of each element at the point that the wires communicate with the elements. The impedance of the elements is proportional to the ratio of their length to diameter, and the impedance of the feeder wires is proportional to their diameter and spacing. In order to utilize insulator assemblies 14 of one size, and for ease of manufacture, it is desirable to provide elements having the same diameter. As such, the longer the element, the greater its impedance that should be matched by the feeder wires. Thus, as shown in Fig. 4, the present invention contemplates varying the spacing of constant diameter wires 38A and 388 dependent on the impedance of the element to which they are connected. For example, in Fig. 4, three adjacE;nt pairs of element halves 13A3, 1383; 13A4, 1384; and 13A5, 1385 are shown spaced along boom 12.
For purposes of this discussion, it is assumed that element 13 having element halves 13A3, 1383 is the shortest element shown, element 13 having element halves 13A5, 1385 is the longest element shown, with element 13 having element halves 13A4, 1384 being of a length between the length of the other two elements. As such, in order to match the varying impedances of these elements, wires 38A and 38B are mounted closer together on element halves 13A5 and 1385 than they are on element halves 13A4 and 1384. Wires 38A
and 388 are likewise mounted closer together on elements halves 13A4 and 13A4 than they are on element halves 13A3 and 1383. This is accomplished by positioning posts 35 in different perforations 37 of brackets 30A3,30B~; 30A4, 3084; and 30A5, 3085. Or, as previously described, brackets 30 need not have a plurality of perforations 37, but rather special brackets 30 can be used for each set of element halves. As a result, the distance between wires 38A and 38B at the point that they communicate with or are otherwise connected to elements 13 can be preselected to match the impedance of the element to which they are attached, with the wires being closer together for longer elements and farther apart for shorter elements of the same diameter'.
It should also be understood that the impedance of the elements can also be matched by providing feeder wires 38A and 38B with variable diameters spaced a constant distance apart along boom 12. Therefore, rather Docket No. AUT.P0014 than varying the spacing of feeder wires 38A and 38B with a constant diameter, the same result can be accomplished with variable diameter wires 38A and 388 spaced a constant distance apart as shown in Fig. 3. As such, the diameter of the feeder wires 38A and 38B will be greatest when mounted to the longest element 13 having element halves 13A5 and 1385 and will be smallest when mounted to the shortest element 13 having element halves 13A3 and 1383. Furthermore, the diameters of the feeder wires can taper between its greatest diameter and smallest diameter along boom 12. In addition, it is possible to achieve the same result by simultaneously varying the spacing of feeder wires 38A and 38B and the diameter of feeder wires 38A and 388. As such, it is possible to prevent the wire diameter 'from getting too thin or the spacing from getting too wide.
It should be noted that the addition of brackets 30 to half elements 13A and 138 provides a structure with a longer electrical length. That is, structures 40A and 408, consisting of half element 13A and bracket 30A, and half element 13B and bracket 308, respectivelyU are electrically lengthened relative to elements 13A and 13B by themselves. However, because of the unique shape of brackets 30, the electrical lengths of structures 40A and 408 remain approximately constant as long as transmission wires 38A and 38B are symmetrically positioned on brackets 30A and 30B about boom 12, that is, positioned equal distances from boom 12 as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. As a result, when transmission wires 38A and 38B are symmetrically positioned about boom 12 on brackets 30A and 308, varying the spacing between transmission wires 38A and 38B will have negligible effects on the electrical lengths and the resonant frequency of structures 40A and 408.
Figs. 5 and b depict two alternative positions of posts 35 on brackets 30A in order to illustrate that the electrical length of structure 40A is dependent on two physical length components. The first physical length component is the length 41 from the outer end of half element 13A to a point uhder post 35 to which transmission wire 38A is attached. The second physical length component defines a transmission-line stub and is two times the length 42 from the point under post 35 to connecting leg 33. Length 41 as seen in Fig. 5 Docket No. AUT.P0014 is thus shorter than length 41 shown in Fig. 6, and length 42 of Fig. 5 is longer than length 42 in~ Fig. 6.
Assuming that both configurations of structure 40A have the same overall physical length (measured from the far end of half element 13A to leg 33) in Figs. 5 and 6, these configurations of structure 40A would also have approximately the same electrical length even though transmission wire 38A is positioned differently. Such a result is possible because structure 408 would mirror structure 40A at insulator assembly 14 in both configurations.
Furthermore, irrespective of the position of transmission wire 38A, the electrical length of structure 40A remains the same in boi:h Figs. 5 and 6 because the inductive reactances dependent on lengths 41 and lengths 42 effectively offset each other in the alternative configurations due to the properties of bracket 30.
Therefore, although at each insulator assembly 14 structure 40A will have a different overall physical length, the configurations of structure 40A shown in Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate that, if transmission wire, 38A and 38B are symmetrically positioned about boom 12, then the spacing between transmission wires 38A and 38B can be varied 'when necessary without effecting the electrical length of structure 40A.
Consequently, for paired structures 40A and 40B of a given physical length at a given insulator assembly 14, the electrical lengths of both structures 40A and 40B are approximately the same as long as transmission lines 38A
and 38B are symmetrically positioned along brackets 30A and 30B about boom 12. Therefore, the spacing between transmission wires 38A and 38B
will have negligible effects on the electrical length and the resonant frequencies of structures 40A and 40B, and cari be varied as required provided that transmission wires 38A and 38B are symmetrically positioned about boom 12.
In view of the foregoing, it should be evident that an antenna constructed in accordance with the present invention as described herein accomplishes the objects of the invention and otherwise substantially improves the art.
