- a CRLH transmission line that is a medium of a right-handed left-handed composite (Composite Right and Left Handed; CRLH) is known.
- the CRLH transmission line is known to exhibit properties as a right-handed medium, a left-handed medium, and an electromagnetic bandgap structure (hereinafter abbreviated as an EBG structure) depending on the frequency of incident electromagnetic waves.

- propagation of electromagnetic waves generated on the surface of the substrate can be suppressed.
- electromagnetic interference between antennas mounted on the substrate or between devices can be reduced.
- the EBG structure functions as a magnetic wall that reflects incident electromagnetic waves in the same phase in the vicinity of the band gap. If the EBG structure is installed on the back surface of the antenna using this characteristic, the antenna can be reduced in height without decreasing the radiation efficiency.
- a capacitance component formed between adjacent conductor patches constitutes an LC parallel resonance circuit with an inductance component formed from a conductor via. Since the CRLH transmission line has a band gap in the vicinity of the resonance frequency, it can be used as an EBG structure. In order to lower the frequency of this band gap, the inductance component is preferably increased. However, if the conductor via is lengthened to increase the inductance component, the structure becomes thicker.

Since it is less necessary to provide a Copt Renner line from the viewpoint of controlling the operating band, it is possible to reduce leakage of electromagnetic waves caused by the Copt Renner line. Since the number of conductor connection portions per unit structure can be reduced, a low-cost structure can be obtained. As described above, the structure of the present invention can realize thinning and low frequency at low cost, and can reduce unnecessary radiation to the back surface of the structure.

Abstract
Description
特許文献1の構造では、インダクタンス要素を導体パッチ層に接続する第1導体ビアと、インダクタンス要素を導体プレーン層に接続する第2導体ビアの2つの導体ビアを単位構造ごとに設ける必要がある。したがって、構造が複雑になり、製造に要する工数が増えること等により製造効率の低下や製造コストの増大を招いてしまう。
特許文献2の構造では、不要な電磁波が、コプレナー線路を形成するために設けた導体プレーンのスリットから漏れて、導体プレーンの外側に放射されてしまう。
本発明の構造体は、第1導体と、前記第1導体に少なくとも一部が対向して設けられた第2導体と、前記第1導体と前記第2導体との間に配置され、前記第1導体又は前記第2導体のいずれか一方の導体プレーンと導体接続部を介して電気的に接続されているとともに他方の導体に対向して設けられ、開放端を有する伝送線路と、を含み、前記第2導体と前記伝送線路と前記導体接続部とを少なくとも含んで構成される単位構造を少なくとも一つ含むこと特徴とする。
以上のように、本発明の構造体は、薄型化及び低周波化を低コストで実現することが可能であり、しかも構造裏面への不要放射を低減することが可能なものになっている。本発明の構造体は、機器雑音抑制に寄与し、電子装置の誤動作低減等に有益である。本発明のアンテナは、マイクロ波・ミリ波帯域の電磁波を送受信する無線通信機器等の小型化に有益である。
また、CRLH伝送線路のアドミタンスを増加させる観点で、コプレナー線路を設ける必要性が低くなり、コプレナー線路を形成するためのスリットを一方の導体に形成する必要性が低くなる。したがって、スリットの数を減らすことやスリットをなくすことができ、不要な電磁波がスリットを通って一方の導体の外側に放射されることを格段に低減することができる。
また、オープンスタブによりCRLH伝送線路が構成されているので、ショートスタブにより構成されるCRLH伝送線路と比較して、単位構造あたりの導体接続部の数を減らすことができる。したがって、導体接続部の形成に要する工数やコストを低減することができる、低コストの構造体にすることができる。
図1は、第1実施形態に係る構造体をz軸正方向から見た平面図である。図2は、図1の導体パッチ4(図2で2点鎖線で示す)を透視して、構造体をz軸正方向から見た平面図である。図3は、図1及び図2のA-A'線断面図である。
また、後に説明する第5~第8実施形態では、構造体を含んだアンテナについて説明する。第5~第8実施形態では、構造体が主として左手系媒質として動作するようになっている。
次に本発明の第2実施形態に係るプリント基板について説明する。図10は、第2実施形態のプリント基板20の概略構成を示す平面である。図11は、図10のA2-A2'線断面図である。図10、図11に示すようにプリント基板20は、グランドプレーン21と、デバイス22、23と、デバイス22、23の間に配置されたEBG構造24とを備える。プリント基板20は、デバイス22、23が設けられた表層からグランドプレーン21に至る厚み部分が誘電体により構成されている。デバイス22はノイズ源となるデバイスであり、デバイス23はノイズの影響を受けやすいデバイスである。
また、ここではデバイス間のノイズ伝播抑制を例に説明したが、例えば近接して設置されたアンテナ間の不要な結合を抑制する場合にも、デバイスの場合と全く同様に、本発明に係るEBG構造を用いることができる。
次に、本発明の第3実施形態に係るアンテナについて説明する。図13(a)は、本発明に係るEBG構造を反射板として用いたパッチアンテナの一例を示す断面図であり、(b)はパッチアンテナの平面図である。図13に示すようにパッチアンテナ30は、EBG構造31、アンテナエレメント32、及び同軸給電線路33より構成されている。
次に、本発明の第4実施形態に係る伝送線路導波管変換器について説明する。図15は、本発明に係るEBG構造を反射板として用いた伝送線路導波管変換器の一例を示す断面図である。図14に示すように伝送線路導波管変換器40は、反射板としてのEBG構造41、伝送線路42、及び導波管43を備えている。EBG構造41のバンドギャップは、伝送する電磁波の周波数帯に対応させて設計されている。
次に、本発明に係る第5実施形態のアンテナについて説明する。本実施形態のアンテナは、本発明に係る構造体を含んでおり、構造体が左手系媒質として動作するようになっている。
次に、本発明の第6実施形態に係るアンテナについて説明する。図20に示したように、第5実施形態におけるCRLH伝送線路の分散関係は、右手系バンドと左手系バンドの間、すなわち4.9GHzから9.3GHzまでの周波数帯に、バンドギャップを有している。これは、図4に示した等価回路図において、右手系バンドの下限周波数を規定する直列インピーダンスZの共振周波数と、左手系バンドの上限周波数を規定するアドミタンスYの共振周波数にギャップがあるためである。
また、第6実施形態では補助導電パッチ9を伝送線路6と同一層に設けられた構成を例示したが、隣接する2つの導体パッチ4の双方と重なることにより電気的な容量を構成するものであればよく、補助導電パッチ9が伝送線路6と異なる層に設けられた構成であってもよい。また、第1~第4実施形態に係る構造体において、補助導電パッチ9が設けられた構成にすることも可能である。
次に、本発明の第7実施形態に係るアンテナについて説明する。図29は、第7実施形態のアンテナをz軸正方向から見た平面図である。図30、図31は、それぞれ、本発明の第7実施形態の変形例のアンテナをz軸正方向から見た平面図である。
第7実施形態のアンテナは、単位構造が2次元的に周期配列されている点で、第5、第6実施形態のアンテナと異なる。ここでは、導体パッチ4の形状が正方形であり、単位構造がx軸方向に3つ、y軸方向に4つ配列されている。第7実施形態のアンテナは、x軸方向とy軸方向に線路長Lの異なるCRLH伝送線路が形成されているため、x軸方向とy軸方向とで1/2波長共振が生じる周波数が異なる。これにより、第7実施形態のアンテナは、デュアルバンドアンテナまたはマルチバンドアンテナとして機能するようになっている。
次に、本発明の第8実施形態に係るアレイアンテナについて説明する。図32は、第8実施形態のアレイアンテナの構成を模式的に示す平面図である。図32に示すように、第8実施形態のアレイアンテナは、本発明に係るアンテナをアレイ要素50として、プリント基板51に複数のアレイ要素50が配列された構成になっている。ここでは、アレイ要素50として第5実施形態で説明したアンテナを採用しており、4つのアレイ要素50が1次元的に配列されている。アレイ要素50は、マイクロストリップライン7により並列に接続されている。
