Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present utility model invention relates to the field of communications technology, in particular to a device for amplifying antenna signals. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] With the development and expansion of automation, thermal power plants are increasingly using wireless devices, such as radio signal transmission and antenna installation. Current technology uses passive antennas configured by the manufacturer, which often make it difficult to continue operation under poor signal quality. Therefore, amplifying antenna signals is crucial to ensure smooth operation.

[0003] Through this study, a basic understanding of the current use of passive antennas was gained. The antennas we commonly use are generally passive devices and cannot generate power. Antenna gain reflects the ability to radiate energy effectively and concentratedly in a specific direction or to receive electromagnetic waves. To evaluate the strength of the antenna's reception and transmission, we generally use energy conversion—the conversion of guided waves and free-space waves. In short, the focus of antenna design is to ensure that the antenna is long enough and has a sufficient number of directions. Antennas generally have eight directions that can be used for signal reception. Adjusting the angle requires human intervention to achieve directional radiation (reception)—it has a certain degree of directivity.In practice, the input impedance of the antenna is also affected by surrounding buildings and nearby objects, which requires the antenna to be mounted very high. The design of the antenna rack must be stable, wind- and lightning-resistant, while ensuring the stability of the signal strength. However, because the antenna is higher than the surrounding buildings, it is vulnerable to lightning strikes. To prevent such incidents, a metal rod at a height of 1.5 meters above the antenna is often used as a lightning rod. The rod or metal must be quickly grounded, and improper installation may cause equipment damage. Therefore, existing passive antennas still have certain problems. And from the state of the art, an antenna signal amplification device is urgently needed that has advantages such as simple structure, dynamic control, and amplification of antenna radiation and antenna gain.

[0017] The present utility model invention is described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. Example:

[0018] As in Fig.1, the present utility model invention provides an antenna signal amplification device comprising an antenna tuner 9, a transceiver 8, and a chassis 5. The chassis 5 is equipped with a drive element 3, at least one signal tuning module, and at least one signal amplification module. Each signal tuning module comprises a first tuning component 11 and a reflection element 2 mounted on the first tuning component 11. Each signal amplification module comprises a second tuning component 12 and a guide element 4 mounted on the second tuning component 12. The first tuning component 11 and the second tuning component 12 are both connected to the antenna tuner 9, and the drive element 3 is connected to the transceiver 8.

[0019] Operation: By adjusting the antenna tuner 9, the signal tuning module is controlled to reflect radio signals, thereby radiating the radio signals at a specific angle and achieving local signal energy concentration, which transmits the signal to at least one signal amplification module. By adjusting the antenna tuner 9, the signal amplification module is controlled to control the direction of the radio signals reflected by the signal tuning module, thereby radiating the radio signals in a directed manner toward the drive element 3. After the drive element 3 receives the amplified radio signals via its antenna connection, they are transmitted to the transceiver 8.

[0020] In particular, the reflection of the radio signals is achieved by controlling the reflection element 2 mounted on the first tuning component 11, wherein the respective received radio signals are radiated onto the drive element 3 by controlling the guide element 4 mounted on the second tuning component 12.

[0021] As an optional embodiment, the antenna tuner 9 is connected to the two tuning components via the digital control line 6.

[0022] As an optional embodiment, the transceiver 8 contains the antenna amplifier, which can bundle the signals and re-superimpose them.

[0023] As an optional embodiment, the drive element 3 is connected to the transceiver 8 via the fixed wiring.

[0024] As an optional embodiment, the transceiver 8 and the antenna tuner 9 are arranged in a controller 10, wherein the controller 10 further includes the power supply component 7. The power supply component 7 supplies power to the transceiver 8 and the antenna tuner 9 and forms a small control loop.

[0025] As an optional embodiment, the number of signal tuning modules and signal amplification modules is the same.

[0026] In summary, the present utility model invention provides an antenna signal amplification device that can dynamically and automatically control the radiation and direction control of radio signals by providing the antenna tuner, the signal tuning modules connected to the antenna tuner, and the signal amplification modules. This device supports wider frequency band access. While traditional antenna designs aim to achieve signal transmission with fewer interference signals in limited communication channels, they require the design of various geometric shapes to achieve the frequency band correction effect.

[0027] By providing tuning components and reflection elements as signal tuning modules, the present utility model invention enables the antenna to increase radiation at a smaller angle, i.e., within a small angular range, the beamwidth can be concentrated into a small area, thereby increasing the antenna gain. By providing at least one signal tuning module, the strength of the antenna signals can be increased, which is precise and energy-efficient. The components include variable capacitors that can withstand high radio-frequency voltages. Tunable filters, as well as analog radio-frequency applications requiring high-voltage operation, can be used to tune the tunable antenna. This tuner eliminates the limitations of traditional isolator input losses and radio-frequency voltage processing.

[0028] By providing tuning components and guide elements as signal amplification modules and mounting the guide element adjacent to the tuning component, the present utility model invention can enhance the integration of wireless devices. The virtual antenna technology is based on very small antenna elements (antenna amplifiers) to meet the requirements of relatively narrow bandwidths.

[0029] By combining signal tuning modules and signal amplification modules, this present utility model invention constructs a virtual antenna technology that does not require a complex antenna but only a small antenna structure to achieve the effect of an antenna amplifier.

[0030] By providing a controller that includes the power supply component connected to the transceiver and the antenna tuner, the entire device for amplifying antenna signals in this present utility model invention does not require an external power supply.

[0031] The present utility model invention uses tunable capacitors and passive components to design the reconstructed matching network system. Antenna amplifiers without a matching network have very poor impedance characteristics. Using a multi-band matching network, the power can be easily adjusted without changing the geometric state of the antenna. The position of the antenna amplifier is important to achieve effective ground radiation. In practice, a corner of the ground is selected in the design. Due to the importance of the ground connection, the antenna efficiency is maintained by compensation via the power supply system to avoid negative effects of connecting components when measuring antenna performance. To achieve the highest efficiency, tunable capacitors and passive components are used to design the reconstructed matching network system.

[0032] The present utility model invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments. It should be understood that a person skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations in accordance with the concept of the present utility model invention without inventive step. Therefore, all technical solutions that a person skilled in the art can obtain through logical analysis, deduction, or limited experimentation based on the prior art in accordance with the concept of the present utility model invention fall within the scope of protection defined by the patent claims.
