Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transponder arrangement for electromagnetic interrogation systems.
  • electromagnetic interrogation systems essentially comprise an interrogation device and any number of transponders per se, the interrogation device and transponder interacting with one another via an electromagnetic near field.
  • the interrogation device contains a transmitter and a receiver along with devices for displaying and processing information content and an antenna arrangement.
  • the transmitter emits alternating field energy via the antenna, which may be emitted by a existing transponder is added.
  • the transponder in turn contains a receiver, a transmitter, a memory and a modulation device in order to impress information on the radio-frequency signal of the transmitter, and an antenna arrangement.
  • the query process runs e.g. as follows: If the interrogation device (antenna) and transponder are close enough to one another, then alternating field energy is transmitted contactlessly from the transmission antenna of the interrogation device to the transponder antenna. The energy received activates both the receiver and the transmitter, modulator and information store in the transponder. The transponder emits an alternating field modulated with a stored information via its antenna, which is picked up and processed by the interrogator-receiver.
  • transponders for example in the form of a credit card format or glass ampoule.
  • a transponder arrangement for the manufacturing process of a product for example a vehicle, in which a simple transponder remains permanently in the product.
  • the transponder can contactlessly exchange data with a reader.
  • the communication range can be increased by a complex auxiliary device that is only used temporarily.
  • the auxiliary device forms a conversion station between inductive coupling with the transponder and optical or microwave coupling with the reading device.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a transponder arrangement which permanently and reliably enables a greater range of the interrogation systems.
  • the invention is described in claim 1.
  • the subclaims contain advantageous refinements and developments of the invention.
  • the requirements for small dimensions of a transponder carrier body and for strong interaction of the antenna arrangement with the electromagnetic alternating field of the interrogator can be optimized separately. Due to the permissibility of small dimensions of the carrier body, universal types of transponders can be used for a large number of applications. Due to the fact that the carrier body itself contains a transmit / receive coil of small dimensions, which is coupled to the auxiliary antenna of the antenna arrangement via a coupling coil, transponders can also be operated in the arrangement, which can also be used independently . The arrangement according to the invention then results in a substantially larger query area of the query systems compared to the independent use of such transponders.
  • the carrier body and the antenna can advantageously be spatially spaced apart.
  • metallic components of an object carrying the transponder arrangement which are primarily used for other functions, e.g. are provided as supporting housing parts.
  • FIG. 1 a principle of a query system
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a transponder arrangement
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment
  • FIG. 5 shows an embodiment with an auxiliary antenna
  • an interrogation device G transmits an electromagnetic field via a device antenna GA, which is indicated by broken lines and wavefronts.
  • a device antenna GA which is indicated by broken lines and wavefronts.
  • an object for example a piece of luggage, a vehicle, etc.
  • the transponder arrangement T absorbs energy from the electromagnetic field of the interrogation device via its own antenna arrangement.
  • the transponder arrangement essentially also contains a receiver, a transmitter and an information memory. Control electronics, a processor, etc. can also be included in more complex designs.
  • the transponder arrangement is preferably purely field-fed and does not have its own energy supply.
  • the electronic components of the transponder arrangement are then activated only when energy is absorbed from the electromagnetic field of the interrogation device G. After activation of the transponder electronics, this causes the transmission of an electromagnetic field via the transponder transmitter and the antenna arrangement, which is indicated in FIG. 1 by wavefronts and arrows in solid lines and which in turn is transmitted by the device antenna GA of the device question device G is recorded and evaluated in the interrogator.
  • the transmission frequency of the interrogation device G is different from the transmission frequency of the transponder arrangement T.
  • the interrogation signal of the interrogation device can be modulated or unmodulated.
  • the response signal emitted by the transponder arrangement is preferably modulated with information from a non-volatile information memory of the transponder arrangement.
  • the interrogation system outlined is provided in the object O with a transponder arrangement according to the invention, which has a transponder carrier body TK and a large-area frame antenna A separated from it, which are coupled to one another, e.g. via a connecting line L and a coupling coil KS.
  • the antenna A is not subject to the spatial restrictions of the carrier body T and can therefore be designed for a stronger coupling to the electromagnetic alternating field of the interrogation device. As a result of the stronger coupling to the interrogation field, sufficient energy is available to operate the transponder arrangement, even at a greater distance from the interrogation device.
  • the transponder body contains at least one receiver, one transmitter, one information store, and one transmit-receive coil, which is coupled to the coupling coil KS by means of a transformer.
  • Reinforcement or directivity of the electromagnetic field can be equipped with ferromagnetic material.
  • a transponder body TK which, in addition to the transmitter, receiver and information store, also contains a transceiver coil connected to the transmitter and receiver.
  • the antenna arrangement consists of the frame antenna A which is coupled to the external electromagnetic field, a coupling coil KS connected to it and the transmission / reception coil in the carrier body TK, which is not shown separately, and which couples with the coupling coil KS in a transformative manner is.
  • the coupling coil KS is wound directly onto the carrier body TK. Between antenna A and coupling coil L can in turn be one
  • Connecting line L can be inserted so that antenna A and carrier body TK can be arranged at a spatial distance.
  • a universal transponder body can be used, which can also be used independently as a transponder arrangement in other applications with lower range requirements, in which case the internal transmit / receive coil serves as an antenna Coupling to an electromagnetic field is used.
  • the effective area of the antenna A is significantly larger than that of the internal transmit-receive coil.
  • the connecting line can advantageously be in a form that does not couple with an electromagnetic field, - 9 -
  • a query can be made on the line wires themselves, even without antenna A, if the conductors are further apart and form a closed current loop.
  • Antenna, connecting line and coupling coil can be tuned for resonance with an operating frequency of the interrogation system or can also be aperiodic to the operating frequencies.
  • a first frequency for transmission from the interrogation device to the transponder and a second frequency for transmission in the opposite direction occur as operating frequencies.
  • passive devices such as filters for the receiving or transmitting frequency of the interrogation system can be connected to this connecting line in order to achieve an improved function. Furthermore, by feeding a signal into the connecting line, the coupling coil or the carrier body via switches or couplers, the information content of the information memory can be changed and / or queried by devices on the object.
  • the means required here are no longer to be seen as part of the passive antenna arrangement in the sense of the invention and do not impair the function of the transponder arrangement, which is independent of a power supply. In the case of FIG.
  • the coupling coil including the transponder body is surrounded by an electromagnetic shielding sheath H made of ferromagnetic and / or electrically conductive material, thereby ensuring that no disturbing electromagnetic fields can act on the electronics of the transponder arrangement.
  • the indirect influence of such interference fields via antenna A can be suppressed by filter measures in the antenna arrangement.
  • the shielding sheath H is shown in FIG. 4 drawn partially cut open to show the inner coupling coil KS. In the example, this is not wound directly onto the carrier body Tk, but rather onto a separate hollow cylindrical coil former SK in which the carrier body TK can be inserted. It can also be provided that the carrier body is removably arranged in the coil body.
  • the coil can also form a hollow cylindrical receiving space for the carrier body in a self-supporting manner.
  • the internal transmit / receive coil TS and the electronics E with receiver, transmitter and information memory are indicated in the carrier body.
  • FIG. 5 Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 5 shown.
  • the transponder body TK with coupling coil is located within a hollow metal frame R which is interrupted at a point U in its cross section.
  • a closed conductor loop as antenna A which is connected on the one hand to the coupling coil to the transponder and on the other hand is self-contained.
  • the conductor loop couples to the metal frame, which in turn acts as an auxiliary antenna.
  • the the cavity surrounding the conductor loop need not be in the shape of a rectangle as in FIG. 5, it can also be a ring, an oval, and the like, and the metal can have magnetic or non-magnetic properties, or the frame can be non-metallic.
  • the coupling coil to the transponder body is e.g. designed as a cylinder winding or flat winding, care being taken to ensure sufficient transformer coupling with the transceiver coil in the transponder body. It can be wound directly on the transponder body, as shown in FIG. 3, or be designed or arranged so that the transponder can be removed and e.g. is interchangeable with another, e.g. in the embodiment of FIG. 4th
