Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a radiating coaxial high-frequency cable with openings in the outer conductor, which are formed as slots arranged substantially perpendicular to the cable axis.
  • Cables of the generic type are well known, because of the electromagnetic energy penetrating through the slots in the outer conductor, they act practically as antennas, which enable communication between mobile receivers and a fixed transmitter. If you consider the slot configuration over the entire cable length, then it is practically a series of antennas connected in series, which cause a radiation field in the vicinity of the cable. As already known (DE-OS 41 06 890), however, there is a decrease in the intensity of the radiated power over the length of the cable along the cable due to the natural cable attenuation and the radiation. In practice, this means that the system attenuation between a vehicle and the radiating cable increases from the point at which the radio-frequency energy is fed into the cable along the length of the cable.
  • the known radiating high-frequency cable sees a compensation of the influence of the line attenuation by a special one Slot configuration before. Then the number of slots per period length along the cable increases according to a suitable rule. As already known ("Leaky coaxial cable with length independent antenna receiving level" in International Wire & Cable Symposium Proceedings 1992, pages 748-756), this measure leads to a particularly advantageous embodiment for transmission frequencies up to over 900 MHz. Since the generic cables are mainly used in tunnel sections to enable the transmission of messages to or from outside traffic, it is important that the slot configuration in the outer conductor of the coaxial high-frequency cable compensates for the influence of the line attenuation for the longest possible section causes.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, even with today's possible cable lengths of 800 m in length Keep the sum of coupling and line loss at a low, largely constant level. This is equivalent to maximizing the cable length.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that sections with a periodically repeating slot configuration are provided along the cable, which differ in the period length and / or in the number of slots per period length with the same number of slots per period length and / or with the same number of slots.
  • Radiating high-frequency cables designed in this way can have a length of more than 1000 m at operating frequencies of z. B. 900 to 960 MHz.
  • the steps according to the invention also lead to a reduction in the signal variations and to a reduction in the signal dynamics on the mobile subscriber or transmitter.
  • Increasing the maximum length of the radiating high-frequency cable with compensated line loss leads to increased flexibility in the coordination of the respective properties of the transmission system. Fewer feed points and amplifiers along the cable route are also required. a. for cost reduction, simplified maintenance and increased reliability. This results in significant advantages in the transmission of radio messages in areas with unfavorable propagation conditions, for example along the tunnel routes mentioned, but also in parking garages, airport buildings, high-rise buildings, etc.
  • the sections differ with a constant number of slots in the period length along the cable, then one will advantageously proceed in such a way that the period length decreases along the cable from the feed point of the cable.
  • a Transition z. B from a 20 cm 1-hole configuration to a subsequent 17 cm 1-hole configuration, for example, an increase in the radiation by about 10 dB could be achieved.
  • This example already shows the possibilities of variation with regard to range, balance and radiation intensity of the coaxial radiating high-frequency cables given by the invention. Further advantageous possibilities arise when the period length along the cable decreases in several steps.
  • the flexibility to adapt to the required range and to the transmission properties can also be achieved in that the number of slots increases along the cable as the period length decreases.
  • Known cable constructions of generic embodiments have, for. B. an inner conductor, this enclosing plastic insulation and one arranged above the outer conductor, which provides a certain distribution of openings for the exit of the radiation energy. Then a plastic outer jacket (GB 20 62 359 A) is applied.
  • GB 20 62 359 A One of them deviating known embodiment (GB 21 27 621 A) provides a tape winding over the extruded insulation of the inner conductor, which is applied in two layers, the turns of each layer being applied with a gap, so that through openings are formed through which the electromagnetic energy can step outside.
  • the radiating high-frequency cable consists of a concentrically arranged to the inner conductor and spaced from the inner conductor in its position held plastic tube that carries the band-shaped, slotted outer conductor.
  • the outer conductor of the radiating cable consists of a copper tape, which is applied to the insulation of the inner conductor, advantageously a plastic tube sprayed over an annular spacer.
  • the tape already contains the slot configuration required for this particular cable type, the tape is wrapped lengthwise around the plastic tube, advantageously so far that the tape edges overlap one another, so that even with strong bends in the cable no damage is caused by the tape edges being unfolded . For this reason, one can also proceed to mechanically overlap the overlapping strip edges with one another, for example by gluing or soldering connect.
  • a radiating coaxial radio-frequency cable also referred to as a leakage cable, for data transmission between stationary and mobile units and vice versa, for example for arrangement in a train tunnel.
  • a cable consists of the inner conductor 1, for example in the form of a metal strip, preferably made of copper, which is wrapped around a polyethylene strand 2, and spacer disk 3 arranged at intervals on the inner conductor 1, through which a tubular sheath 4 made of a thermoplastic material, for example polyethylene, is extruded . Due to this construction, air-filled, self-contained chambers 5 are formed, which at the same time ensure that the cable is longitudinally watertight.
  • outer conductor 6 in the present exemplary embodiment a copper tape pre-punched with the corresponding configuration of the slots 7, is inserted lengthwise around the insulating sleeve 4 so that the tape edges overlap one another, in their overlapped position the edges are held, for example, by gluing, soldering or welding.
  • the outer casing 8 made of an abrasion-resistant plastic serves as external mechanical protection, possibly also in a flame-retardant version.
  • the cable according to the invention offers itself insofar as, as shown, an optical element, for example a hollow fiber 9 containing optical fibers, is arranged inside the plastic core 2.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show the damping properties of known cable designs each over the cable length.
  • the period length is constant in both cases.
  • the course of the line loss ⁇ L or the coupling loss ⁇ K in FIG. 2 is that of a so-called standard cable (S) with the same number of slots and the same period length. Because of the rapidly increasing system attenuation from the entry point (SP) of the cable, only relatively short lengths can be bridged with this cable.
  • V vario cable
  • the measure according to FIG. 3 is not sufficient always off. 4 therefore shows an embodiment of the invention as a so-called double-vario cable (DV) with a different number of slots and a different period length.
  • DV double-vario cable
  • the individual sections along the cable each have a slot in the first three sections, followed by two, four, eight and two sixteen slots.
  • the period length also varies here with P1, P2, P3 and P4.
  • the essentially constant signal level in FIG. 4 was measured on a radiating coaxial high-frequency cable of the type according to the invention corresponding to FIG. 1 with the one shown in FIG. B. schematically shown slot configuration.
  • a slot is provided in the first section with a period length of 23 cm, followed by a section with a period length of 20 cm, which also has only one slot, followed by sections with a constant period length of 17 cm, the Number of slots is increased starting from 1 to 16 slots per section.
  • a section with a period length of 16.5 cm which, like the preceding section with a period length of 17 cm, has sixteen slots.
  • FIG. 6 shows a possibility of compensating the line losses over longer lengths, which deviates from the slot configuration according to FIG. 5, in which the slot number is constant, then the period length is constant and the number of slots is varied when the period length initially decreases. In the latter case, the number of slots increases towards the end of the cable up to a number of slots of 16, which is maintained if the period length is reduced from 17 cm to 16 cm in the last section.
  • the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 7 shows a slot configuration in which the number of slots is initially maintained and the period length is reduced in the first sections, and then both the number of slots and the period length change continuously, even if in the opposite sense.
