UTILIZATION Patented Feb. 24, 1942 mesne assignments, to Philco Radio and Television Corporation, Philadelphia, Pa., a corporation of Delaware Application June 5, 1939, Serial No. 277,550
This invention relates to loop antennas or aerials, and more particularly to a novel construction for shielded loop antennas which are capable of being conveniently disposed in the cabinet of a radio receiver.
In order to improve the portability of radio receivers and to simplify their installation it has been found desirable to employ compact .loop antennas in place of the more usual and cumbersome outdoor antenna structures. Further, in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of such 100p antennas it has been found desirable to surround them with an electrostatic shield to discriminate against a large variety of electrostatic disturbances generated by nearby electrical apparatus such as commutator equipped devices, electrical ignition systems,,switches, and the like. Where such a loop antenna is to be employed in radio receivers designed for mass production, it is obvious that the loop antenna and shield structure must not only be relatively inexpensive but must be simple in its construction and must present no unusual problem of assembly.
One of the objects of this invention, therefore, is to provide a simple but highly efficient shielded loop antenna for use in radio receiving equipment.
Another object of the invention is to provide a shielded loop antenna structure whose size and shape is such as to permit ready mounting in the cabinets of console or table model radio receivers.
Still another object of the invention is to provide in such a loop structure a simple and eflicient shielding means capable of discriminating very substantially against locally generated electrostatic interference signals.
A further object of the invention is to provide a simple and eiiicient electrostatic shield which is electrostatically balanced to ground.
The invention may best be understood by reference to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the shielded loop antenna structure provided by the invention, .a portion of the frame being broken away for the sake of illustration;
Fig. 2 is an end view of the same; and
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the loop and its electrostatic shield illustrating one mode of connection to the input circuits of a suitable signal utilization means.
The construction of the loop antenna and its reference to the perspective and end views of Figs. 1 and 2, in which like reference numerals refer to corresponding parts. It will be observed that a common supporting structure is provided for both a loop winding l, and a shield winding 2. This supporting structure may comprise a pair of spaced frames 3 and 4 which are preferably of elongated form such as oval or rectangular, the latter form being illustrated. The frames 3 and 4 may be suitably and fixedly spaced relative to each other by means of a plurality of spacers or dowels 5 or the like. The frames and the spacers may be formed of any suitable insulating material such as wood, hard rubber, Bakelite, or the like. The loop antenna coil I may be wound upon the spacers 5, as illustrated, and may comprise either a single turn or a plurality of turns or layers of any suitable wire. Enameled copper wire has been found to be satisfactory for this coil and may be employed. The number of turns, and their spacing, will depend upon the frequency range which it is desired to cover, and upon the maximum and minimum capacities of the tuning condenser to be employed.
The shield winding '2 may be wound upon the spaced frames 3 and 4 substantially as illustrated, the winding preferably extending from one end of the framework to the other. Thus, the spaced turns of the shield winding are disposed in transverse relation to the longitudinal axis of the loop antenna, and are disposed in planes substantially perpendicular to the general plane of the loop. This winding may be grounded at any suitable point such, as 6, l 'or 8 (see Fig. '3), but'is preferably grounded at the midpoint 1 for a reason hereinafter explained. The shield winding may consist of cotton covered copper wire. 7
Both the loop antenna coil I and the shield coil 2 may be permanently aflixed to the spacers and frames, respectively, by dipping the structure and its windings into melted wax or by applying a suitable coil dope. It is particularly important that the position and spacing of the turns in'the loop I be securely anchored against possible movement, since only thus can the inductance and distributed capacity of the loop be maintained substantially constant.
It will be observed that the spacers 5 are disposed near the inner edges of the members forming the frames 3 and 4. This is the preferred construction, for it increases the separation between the loop I and the shield coil 2, thereby electrostatic shield may best be understood by" reducing the distributed capacit therebetween,
Where one end of the loop is connected to the control grid of a vacuum tube and the other is connected to ground, substantially as shown in Fig. 3, it is especially desirable that the distributed capacity between the shield and the grid end of the loop be as small as possible. In the particular embodiment illustrated, this capacity has been reduced .by locating the grid end 9 of the loop substantially midway between the two frames 3 and 4 and by winding the loop toward one of the frames. This may be seen clearly in Fig. 2, from which it will be seen that the end turn of the loop at the grid end thereof is substantially midway between frames 3 and 4,
While the end turn at the grounded end of the loop is adjacent to frame 3. In Fig. 3 the innermost turn of loop I corresponds to the end turn in Figs. 1 and 2 which is substantially midway between frames 3 and 4. The increased distrib-- uted capacity between the shield 2 and the grounded end of the loop, which results from this construction, is of minor importance.
If desired, an insulatingterminal strip [0 may be affixed to one of the frames, as illustrated in Fig. l.' The shield winding and the ends of the loop, or any intermediate taps thereon, may be terminated at the lugs ll on said strip for con.- venient connection to ground and to the input circuits of a radio receiver or the like. If the loop is to be padded with a small padding condenser, such a condenser I2 may conveniently be mounted on this same terminal strip, a illustrated.
Although th loop antenna structure may be mounted at any convenient point, it is desirable, particularly for table model radio receivers, to mount the structure in a vertical plane at the rear of the receivers chassis. If the cabinet con taining the receiver is of the type having a removable back panel, the loop structure may conveniently be mounted on the inner surface-of said panel. Th size and shape of the framework to be employed will, of course, depend upon the cabinet in which it is to be used.
Reference is now made to Fig. 3 in which the loop antenna coil 1 and the shielding coil 2 are represented schematically as connected to the input circuit of a suitable signal utilization means 13 which may be a superheterodyne radio receiver. which is furthest removed from the shield coil 2, may b connected directly to the grid of the vacuum tube i4, while the outer turn of the loop may be connected to ground and to the cathode of the tube M. In the interests of simplicity no biasing means have been shown. A section l'5 of the main tuning condenser gang may be connected across the loop, as illustrated. The usual trimmer condenser l6 may be located either at the loop terminals or at the tuning condenser l5. Other means for coupling loops and vacuum tubes are of course well known.
The shield coil 2 may be groundedat either'end The inner turn of the loop antenna,
6 or 8, but is preferably grounded at its electrical midpoint l. Grounding the midpoint of the shield coil has been found to improve the efficiency of shielding. This is probably due chiefly to two factors: firstly, the average impedance to ground of the several turns of the shield coil is while the shield coil 2 consisted of thirty turns of No. .26 double cotton covered wire, spaced about two turns per inch. The size and kind of wire employed in the shield is determined largely by mechanical considerations, While the type of wire employed in th loop is determined largely by the Qwhich is desired. The loop referred to gave a Q of about 100. It is of course understood that the voltage built up across the resonant loop circuit comprising the loop I and the tunin condenser I5 is directly proportional to the Q of that circuit. I
Although the invention has been described with particular reference to the embodiment of the drawing, it will be understood that'the invention is capable of various forms of physical expression, and is therefore not to be limited to the specific disclosure, but only by the scope of the appended claims. The term central axis" employed in certain of the claims with reference to the loop and shield windings designates the axis about which either winding is wound, i. e. the axis of the helix.
