Definitions
- the present invention includes methods and apparatus for providing a wireless communications system More particularly, the preferred embodiments of the mvention utilize the High Frequency, Very High Frequency and the lower end of the Ultra High Frequency (HF, VHF & UHF) bands to generate electromagnetic fields withm a building or structure Conductors withm the building or structure are used as an exciter to create a localized quasi-static electromagnetic field that may be used to connect a wide variety of devices without wires and without suffering undue mterference from external noise
- a wireless network may not be operated in frequency bands that are already licensed to other users, and may not operate m an unlicensed band unless it meets the stringent requirements of Part 15
- the Electromagnetic Field Communications System for Wireless Networks provides methods and apparatus for wirelessly connecting radio frequency devices within a quasi-static electromagnetic field
- the field is produced by feeding a radio frequency signal to a conductor withm a structure
- the conductor may be a wire or ground shield m the electrical service, a water pipe or a structural member
- the HF band has not been exploited in the past for communications networks because of problems stemmmg from 1 ) the high atmospheric and man made noise and 2) the large size of antennas for this region of the spectrum
- the present mvention solves these problems, and allows the HF band to be used for lntra- communications within a building or residence A building or residence is large relative to the wavelengths m the HF through the lower UHF regions
- the electromagnetic fields are thus practical to excite, thereby solving the problem of normally used "large antennas "
- the structure of the excited ground system or plumbing or structure or sprinkler
- the radio frequency signal is generally confined to the High Frequency (HF) from 3-30 MHz, or Very High Frequency (VHF) from 30-300 MHz, and the lower end of the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) from 300-3000 MHz band
- HF High Frequency
- VHF Very High Frequency
- UHF Ultra High Frequency
- the wavelength that is employed should be on the order of the dimension of the building or residence m which the electromagnetic field is created
- the electromagnetic field is a non-propagating, quasi-static domain of electromagnetic energy which is generally confined withm the structure in which it is generated Unlike conventional radio, which employs propagating waves that cause energy to radiate and travel away from an antenna, the present invention establishes a spatial region or volume characterized by electromagnetic voltage fields with magnitudes that vary at the frequency of the mput radio signal The electromagnetic field does not generally cause mterference with radio devices outside the structure
- the present mvention may be used to create a high-speed local area network within a building or residence
- devices including computers, cellular phones, personal digital assistants, conventional telephones, televisions, radios, security alarms, office equipment, lighting components, heating and coolmg systems and many other appliances may be connected without wires usmg the electromagnetic field produced by the mvention
- Any device having the capability to produce information or to be controlled can be wirelessly connected to the enterprise developed to process such information or to control such functions
- the communications industry has realized that connectivity in residences and commercial buildings is the key to their future business growth Increasingly, since the beginning of 1998, major firms have committed to expanding this market as the key to their growth Such firms as IntelTM, Cisco SystemsTM, MicrosoftTM and Sun MicrosystemsTM, among many others, have announced plans to penetrate the residence and building intra-communications market place
- the proposed invention provides a seamless broadband methodology for achieving this end
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a conventional radiating field, which causes radio waves to propagate and to travel away from an antenna
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a cavity-like electromagnetic field
- Figure 3 is a pictorial, cut-away view of a typical house which includes conductors within its walls A radio frequency signal generator is coupled to a conductor within the walls to establish an electromagnetic field within the house
- FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of one embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 5 is a pictorial representation of va ⁇ ous devices m a typical house that may be connected wirelessly using the present invention
- an electromagnetic field is created within the cavity
- This cavity may be formed of solid metallic surfaces or a grid of wires
- the coupler or exciter establishes currents m the walls which in turn establish an internal electromagnetic field
- This field distribution is invariant with the magnitude of the voltage component of the field, varying only at the carrier rate of the excitmg frequency
- FIG 1 supplies a simplified schematic illustration of a conventional radio station RS
- Radio signals contaimng the information that will be broadcast to listeners are fed to a tall metal transmitting tower T over a cable CBL
- the tower is composed of conductive metal that creates a field of radio waves W These fields propagate or travel great distances through the air, until they reach a radio receiver R like the one pictured in the house H m Figure 1
- the radio R detects and signal, and converts it to audible speech or music for a listener to enjoy
- the conventional radio waves that are utilized in Figure 1 create a field that is called a "far-field," because the radio waves move out and away from the antenna tower and enable the operation of a radio receiver that is far away
- the traveling waves move m accordance with a well understood electromagnetic theory of propagation, but in a layman's view, appear like ⁇ pples on the surface of a quiet pond that has been disturbed by a stone dropped m the water
- Conventional radio equipment transmits electromagnetic energy to remote receivers using waves that can travel over great distances
- Figure 2 offers an illustration of a very different kind of electromagnetic field This field is electromagnetic
- This field is electromagnetic
- a signal S is conveyed through a conductor connected to the rectangular metal enclosure E shown in Figure 2 Inside the enclosure, the field which is generated is very different from the "far-field" depicted in Figure 1
- These pomt-by-pomt voltage levels vary accordmg to the frequency of the input signal that energizes the box and the size of the box
- the electromagnetic field may be called a "quasi- static" field, since it does not produce traveling waves for distant receivers
- a receiver placed inside the box illustrated m Figure 2 can detect the signal S, but unlike conventional radio, the receiver would be "inside" a quasi-static non-propagating wave
- a more common technical term for a conductive enclosure which is energized to produce a confined electromagnetic field within its walls is a "cavity resonator"
- the present mvention utilizes the electromagnetic field phenomenon exhibited in Figure 2 to create a region or "bubble" withm an enclosure
- the field is used to connect many different devices without wires, and even more importantly, without interference to other conventional radio devices
- signals are generated in the High Frequency (HF) band, which spans the frequencies from 3 to 30 MHz
- signals are generated m the Very High Frequency (VHF) band, which spans the frequencies from 30 to 300 MHz Fields may also be generated in the lower end of the UHF band (at least up to 400 MHz)
- the high and very high frequency bands are especially useful for the implementation of the present invention because they are generally shunned by other users of conventional radio frequencies This is true because signals propagated at these frequencies are plagued by many different types of natural atmospheric and man-made sources of noise
- Figure 3 portrays a structure or building 10 havmg walls 12 which mclude common metallic conductors 14 such as electrical ground shields, wires, sprinkler conduits, water pipes or structural members These conductors 14 are activated or energized by introducing a signal from a signal generator 16 which is attached to one or more of the conductors 14 with a wire 18
- the wire 18 may be omitted by energizmg the conductors 14 with electromagnetic energy which is emitted from the signal generatoi 16
- the present invention uses the metal elements 14 already present in virtually all buildings and homes as a cavity antenna to create an electromagnetic field 20 within the building or home
- a variety of devices 22 that mclude receivers are then able to be connected in a local area network without wires
- This local area network may, in turn, be connected to public or private telephone lmes, to a satellite transceiver, or to some other interface to the outside world
- FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of one embodiment of the invention
- the system has a controller which may be a card in a PC or a separate base station This terminal is connected to the house ground system (or structure or plumbing, etc ) to excite the volume Numerous devices then transmit withm the volume, and are thus connected to the network Their signals are received by the controller
- the controller which includes a router m one embodiment of the invention, separates the individual signals of different bandwidths and/or modulation formats, and routes them to their addressed target
- the target may be the processor itself, if devices are being momtored, or a remote device such as a video receiver which is receiving data from a VCR or TV
- the target may also be a remote for which settings are bemg changed
- the transmitter, the receiver and all other hardware may be implemented digitally
- a major advantage of the system is that the hardware for the frequencies m this invention is considerably cheaper than in the bands above 2400 MHz
- connection to the conductors m the volume is made through a matching section and then through a coaxial cable
- the output of the coaxial cable is connected to the conductor, leaving the ground shield unterminated
- RF energy is connected to a terminal, part of the energy is transmitted as desired, and part is reflected
- the reflection occurs because the impedance of the exciter is not the same as the generator, and, moreover, changes with frequency while the generator does not
- the reflected energy represents a loss in efficiency and should be minimized
- the matching section transforms the exciter impedance to achieve a minimum reflection over the band of operation
- the exciter should be connected between 0 1 and 0 4 wavelengths above true ground to achieve a reasonable match This restricts the bandwidth for a given attachment to 400%- more than adequate for the purposes mtended
- Figure 5 is a pictorial representation of various devices m a typical house that may be connected wirelessly using the present mvention
- the invention provides a method for generatmg a radio frequency signal which is fed to a conductor 14 within a structure 10
- a quasi-static non-propagating electromagnetic field 20 is created withm the structure, and is used to convey the radio frequency signal to a receiver 22 located withm the structure 10
- a number of different signals may be fed to the conductor simultaneously, enablmg the transmission of multiple signals
- signals may be conveyed using the HF, VHF and lower UHF bands simultaneously, as long as appropriate filtering is performed to msure adequate signal separation
- the mvention may be installed by inserting a common three- prong electrical plug into a conventional three-slotted electrical socket
- the plug has first and second power prongs, and a third p ong for a ground connection
- the signal is fed to the ground wire of the electrical system of the structure via the ground prong on the plug
- the use of the ground prong is an especially method of implementing the invention, but the alternative use of water pipes and conductive structural members of the building such as steel beams provide important advantages, since they are generally free of electrical noise
- the invention provides a signaling system for use in a building structure 10 This embodiment utilizes a radio frequency signal generator 16,22 and one or more radio frequency signal receivers characterized m that the generator 16,22 is arranged to supply its signals to the conductors(s) 14, and the conductor(s) is/are arranged to create, m response to said signals,
- the electrical conduits in the structure form a small set of grids, which are small relative to the HF wavelengths, and "cut off' radiation from outside sources, sigmficantly reducmg the effects of atmosphe ⁇ c and man-made noise
- This g ⁇ d acts as a screen which prevents energy from penefratmg when the grid size drops below 0 5 wavelengths
- a g ⁇ d opening of 25 feet on a side is more than adequately small at 30 MHz and easily realized m any structure
- the term "conductor” is used to desc ⁇ be a type material that is characte ⁇ zed by an ability to convey or transport an electrical current
- the use of the term is not, however, limited to typical conductors such as metal wires, cables or pipes
- the conductor that is used to implement the invention may comprise any substance in which electrons or other charges are generally free to move to form a current and, consequently, generate a field
- structure is not mtended to be limited to any specific type of building
- structure encompasses any complete or partial enclosure, or elements of a structure, including but not limited to a wall, partition, floor, window, ceiling or roof, which form a cavity resonator INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
- the preferred embodiments of the mvention utilize the High Frequency, Very High Frequency and the lower end of the Ultra High Frequency (HF, VHF & UHF) bands to generate electromagnetic fields withm a building or structure Conductors within the building or structure are used as an exciter to create a localized quasi-static electromagnetic field that may be used to connect a wide va ⁇ ety of devices without wires and without suffering undue mterference from external noise
- the present mvention will be capable of bemg applied to a vast array of uses, mcludmg the creation of localized commercial and residential wireless networks
