    摘要: In a waveguide-transmission line transition, a short-circuiting metal layer is formed on one surface of a dielectric substrate, and the short-circuiting metal layer has a slit in which a strip line is disposed. The short-circuiting metal layer and the strip line are disposed on the same plane with a predetermined gap formed therebetween. A grounding metal layer having a shape substantially congruent with the cross-sectional shape of the opening surface of the waveguide is formed on the other surface of the dielectric substrate. The short-circuiting metal layer, the grounding metal layer, and the waveguide are maintained at the same potential by metal embedded in through-holes provided along the circumferential edge of the dielectric substrate. Further, a matching element is disposed on the surface of the dielectric substrate on which the grounding metal layer is formed. This structure enables formation of substantially the entirety of the transition, except the waveguide, on the same substrate on which a microwave or millimeter-wave circuit or a planar antenna are formed.

    摘要: An antenna is divided into a plurality of sub-arrays which are arranged parallel to each other on a turntable. At least one of the sub-arrays is laterally divided into sub-array sections. Reception signals from these sub-array sections are compared with each other to detect a phase difference therebetween. This phase difference is utilized to control the beam direction of the antenna such that the antenna can be properly oriented to the satellite at all times.

    摘要: In mobile communications, it is required that the beam direction is maintained to track the desired direction as the mobile is moving. For such a purpose, the mobile includes an angular rate sensor mounted therein which detects the state of turn in the mobile and to control the beam direction of the antenna in accordance with the state of turn as well as the strength of radiowave received by a receiver in the mobile. Antenna elements are in the form of microstrip antenna and are arranged in plane on the same dielectric substrate. Feeding and drive circuit layers for controlling the transmission and reception at the antenna elements are stacked into a single layered unit. This enables the antenna system to be formed into a low-profile structure. The dielectric substrate of the microstrip antenna element is formed by stacking a plurality of dielectric substrate different in dielectric constant from one another. It is thus intended that the band width of the antenna is increased and that the mutual coupling between the antenna elements is reduced to prevent the gain of the antenna from being lowered. Furthermore, the position of feed points in the antenna element are rotated against each adjacent antenna element. This can improve the axial ratio in the array antenna over a wide band width.

    摘要: A land vehicle navigation system is adapted to display the present position of a vehicle by receiving signals from a combination of satellites under the global positioning navigation system. The present position of the vehicle is displayed on a screen, superposed over map data. To obtain the best global positioning data, the combination of satellites is selected in connectio with the visibility. To perform the positive reception of signals from the satellites as the vehicle is running in an urban area, data relating to the building height around the area can be obtained from a geographical information section including data indicative of the map and the building height distribution with respect to the area to determine the visibility.

    摘要: There is provided an antenna system applicable to an in-vehicle satellite tracking antenna system. A feed probe (1) is inserted into a ground plate (4) from a lower surface of the ground plate (4) toward an upper surface to protrude from the upper surface. A semicylindrical sub-reflector (2) forming a primary radiator together with the feed probe (1) is arranged on the upper surface of the ground plate (4) in the vicinity of the feed probe (1), and a main reflector (3) is arranged on the ground plate (4) such that mirror surfaces of the reflectors face to each other across the feed probe (1). The main reflector (3) is parabolic in at least one axis, and has a predetermined focal point or a predetermined focal line. The main reflector (3) is standing on the ground plate (4) such that the feed probe (1) is positioned on the focal point or the focal line, which is mounted on the ground plate (4) at a predetermined installing angle &thgr; so that an elevation angle of the antenna is directed in a direction that receives radio waves or a direction that radiates radio waves. Tracking of the antenna system with respect to an azimuth is carried out by turning the ground plate (4) in a fashion being out of contact with the feed probe (1). By virtue of the above construction, the antenna system can be downsized or given a low profile.

    摘要: In an annular microstrip antenna element, an annular radiant conductor plate is mounted on a ground conductor plate via a dielectric layer. A coaxial transmission line is provided, whose external conductor is connected to the ground conductor plate, and whose central conductor is connected to the radiant conductor plate, via a feeding point, with a pair of microstrip lines. The pair of microstrip lines extend from the feeding point to two connecting points on the radiant conductor plate, forming an angle between them like a V shape. By varying the angle, it is possible to adjust the input impedance of the annular microstrip antenna element at the feeding point, so that impedance matching with the coaxial transmission line is achieved. In a radial line antenna system comprising a plurality of the antenna elements, the antenna elements are mounted on concentric circles with a constant space between the adjacent antenna elements, thereby reducing undesirable electromagnetic coupling.

    摘要: A control portion performs gyro control at control intervals of .DELTA.t, by using -.omega.G, which is obtained by inverting the polarity of an angular rate .omega.G outputted from an angular rate sensor portion. On the other hand, a receiving level is detected at constant control intervals of .DELTA.T (=M.DELTA.t: M is an integer). The rotation of an antenna portion is controlled by using .omega.s, if the receiving level has increased, or by using -.omega.s, if the receiving level has decreased, i.e. by step track control. By accumulating the control amount .+-..omega.s for a predetermined long time period of N.DELTA.T, accumulation of an error contained in each angular rate .omega.G is obtained. The accumulated value is then divided by N to calculate an error .DELTA..omega.G contained in .omega.G. This error .DELTA..omega.G is used to compensate the actual error, so that the gyro control can be made more accurate.
