The invention further relates to a light pole, which is provided with at least one such antenna module is.

Die Betreiber von Mobilfunknetzen sind darauf angewiesen, in regelmäßigen Abständen Sende- und Empfangsantennen aufzustellen, um ein flächendeckendes Telefonnetz mit möglichst wenigen sogenannten Funklöchern den Benutzern zur Verfügung zu stellen. Ein Problem dabei besteht darin, geeignete Standorte für solche Antennen beispielsweise auf Hochhäusern in entsprechender Lage zu finden, zumal solche Standorte zum Teil sehr teuer bezahlt werden müssen. Eine weitere Schwierigkeit besteht in der Montage der Antenne, die vor Ort an dem entsprechenden Gebäude erfolgt, was dazu führt, daß die bekannten Antennen nach Art von Fernsehantennen Einzelanfertigungen darstellen. Mobile network operators are dependent on transmit and receive antennas at regular intervals to set up a nationwide telephone network with as few so-called dead spots to the users to provide. One problem with this is suitable locations for such antennas, for example to be found on high-rise buildings in a suitable location, especially since such locations are sometimes very expensive to pay have to. Another difficulty is the assembly the antenna that is on site at the appropriate building takes place, which leads to the known antennas after Represent type of television antennas.

Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Problematik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, alternative Aufstellungsmöglichkeiten für Antennen zu erschließen und individuell einsetzbare Antennenmodule zur Verfügung zu stellen.Against the background of this problem lies the present Invention based on the task of alternative installation options open up for antennas and individually applicable antenna modules are available put.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Antennenmodul zur Anbringung auf einem Bauwerk, insbesondere einem Lichtmast, mit einer zentralen Säule, die Befestigungsmittel zur Anbringung von Sende- und/oder Empfangsantennen insbesondere für die Telekommunikation aufweist und von einer Verblendung aus einem funkwellendurchlässigen Material umgeben ist, wobei am Basisende und/oder am oberen Ende der Säule Kupplungsmittel vorgesehen sind, um das Antennenmodul an einem Bauwerk anzubringen oder mit einem weiteren Antennenmodul zu verbinden.According to the invention, this object is achieved by an antenna module for mounting on a building, in particular a light pole, with a central column, the fasteners for attaching transmitting and / or receiving antennas in particular for telecommunications and from a veneer from a radio-wave-permeable Material is surrounded, at the base end and / or on upper end of the column coupling means are provided to to attach the antenna module to a building or with to connect another antenna module.

Der Erfindung liegt damit die allgemeine Überlegung zugrunde als Standort für Sende- und Empfangsantennen insbesondere für den Mobilfunkbereich größere Lichtmasten heranzuziehen, wie sie beispielsweise an Fußballstadien oder dergleichen ohnehin bereits zur Verfügung stehen. Hierfür schafft die Erfindung ein Standard-Antennenmodul mit einer zentralen Säule, an der die eigentlichen Sende- und/oder Empfangsantennen angebracht werden, und einer die Säule umgebenden Verblendung, die sowohl einen Sichtschutz bildet, als auch die Antennen und Versorgungsleitungen etc. vor Umwelteinflüssen schützt. Dieses Standard-Antennenmodul kann komplett vormontiert und über die am Basisende vorgesehenen Kupplungsmittel an dem Lichtmast angebracht werden.The invention is therefore based on the general consideration as a location for transmitting and receiving antennas in particular for the mobile radio area, larger light poles to be used, such as at football stadiums or the like are already available anyway. For this purpose, the invention creates a standard antenna module with a central pillar on which the actual broadcast and / or receiving antennas are attached, and one the pillar surrounding veneer, which is both a privacy screen forms, as well as the antennas and supply lines etc. protects against environmental influences. This standard antenna module can be completely pre-assembled and over the coupling means provided at the base end on the light pole be attached.

Des weiteren bietet die Erfindung die Möglichkeit, mehrere Antennenmodule zu einem Turm aufzubauen, wobei dann entsprechende Kupplungsmittel beispielsweise in Form von Kupplungsflanschen am Basisende und auch am oberen Ende der Säule vorgesehen sind, um eine einfache Montage zu gewährleisten. Hierdurch können beispielsweise an einem Lichtmast die Antennen unterschiedlicher Mobilfunkanbieter jeweils in einen Modul montiert werden, wobei auch ein nachträgliches Nachrüsten in einfacher Weise erfolgen kann.Furthermore, the invention offers the possibility of several Then build antenna modules to a tower corresponding coupling agent, for example in the form of Coupling flanges at the base end and also at the upper end the column are provided for easy assembly guarantee. In this way, for example, on a Light masts the antennas of different mobile operators each can be mounted in a module, whereby also retrofitting can be carried out in a simple manner can.

Aus aerodynamischen Gesichtspunkten sollte sich ein solcher Turm aus Antennenmodulen zu seiner Spitze hin verjüngen, und aus diesem Grund ist gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß sich der Querschnitt der Verblendung eines jeden Antennenmoduls vom Basisende zum oberen Ende hin verjüngt, wobei die Außenkonturen der Verblendungen von zwei aneinandergrenzenden Antennenmodulen zweckmäßigerweise so gewählt sind, daß der Übergang zwischen den beiden Antennenmodulen fließend ist. In gleicher Weise können auch die Außenkonturen des Lichtmastes und der Antennenmodule aneinander angepaßt sein, daß der Übergang vom Lichtmast zu dem daran fixierten Antennenmodul im wesentlichen fließend verläuft.From an aerodynamic point of view, one should Taper the tower of antenna modules to the top, and for this reason, according to one embodiment the invention provided that the cross section the facing of each antenna module from the base end tapered towards the upper end, the outer contours of the Coverings of two adjacent antenna modules are expediently chosen so that the transition is flowing between the two antenna modules. In the outer contours of the light pole can also be used in the same way and the antenna modules to be adapted to each other that the transition from the light pole to the antenna module attached to it runs essentially fluently.

Die Verblendung, die im Grunde genommen einen beliebigen Querschnitt besitzen kann, in bevorzugter Weise jedoch einen runden oder quadratischen Querschnitt hat, muß aus einem funkwellendurchlässigen Material bestehen, wobei vorzugsweise ein Kunststoffmaterial eingesetzt wird, das die erforderliche Stabilität und ein geringes Gewicht besitzt. Diese Verblendung ist gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung an der Säule eingehängt und abgespannt. Hierzu kann am oberen Ende der Säule ein Träger angebracht sein, an welchem die Verblendung aufgehängt ist, und am Basisende der Säule ein weiterer Träger vorgesehen sein, der die Verblendung am unteren Ende der Säule positioniert. Wesentlich ist hierbei, daß die Träger am oberen und unteren Ende der Säule zumindest in ihren mit der Verblendung in Kontakt kommenden Bereichen ebenfalls aus einem funkwellendurchlässigen Material wie beispielsweise Kunststoff bestehen, so daß die Empfangs- und Sendeeigenschaften nicht beeinträchtigt werden.The delusion that is basically any Can have cross-section, but preferably has a round or square cross section, must a radio wave permeable material, wherein preferably a plastic material is used, the has the required stability and light weight. This veneer is according to one embodiment the invention hung on the column and guyed. A support can be attached to the top of the column on which the blind is hung, and another support is provided at the base end of the column be positioned at the lower end of the column. It is essential that the carrier at the top and lower end of the column at least in its with the Veneer in contacting areas as well a radio wave permeable material such as Plastic exist, so that the reception and transmission properties not be affected.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind an der Säule Befestigungsmittel vorgesehen, um Antennen mit einem Versatz von 120° zueinander am Umfang der Säule verteilt anzubringen. Ein solcher Versatz um 120° gewährleistet gute Sende- und Empfangseigenschaften in allen Richtungen. In Ausgestaltung dieser Ausführungsform ist es möglich, die Befestigungsmittel so anzuordnen, daß zwei Sätze von drei um 120° zueinander versetzten Antennen übereinander an der Säule angebracht werden können. Auf diese Weise können in einem Antennenmodul die Antennen für verschiedene Netze (D1, D2, UMTS etc.) eines Anbieters untergebracht werden. According to one embodiment of the invention are on the column Fasteners provided to antennas with an offset 120 ° apart on the circumference of the column. Such an offset of 120 ° ensures good Send and receive properties in all directions. In Design of this embodiment, it is possible Arrange fasteners so that two sets of three antennas offset by 120 ° to each other can be attached to the column. That way you can in one antenna module the antennas for different Networks (D1, D2, UMTS etc.) of a provider become.
