Description
B~ilt-in chi~ transponder with antenna c~il ~IELD OF T~E INVENTION
The invention refers to an antenna circuit to be used in a chip transponder such that the antenna circuit serves both for the reception of interrogative signals for the transponder as well as for the dissemination of response signals to be transmitted by the transponder such that the antenna circuit has at least one magnetic circuit of material of high ~.
BACKGR~UND OF THE INVENTION
In practice it is known that in order for a transponder chip ko be embedded in or attached to an object or an animal that is to be identified. it must be e~uipped with an antenna circuit or antenna element of high u material. Thus, a chip of this type is often equipped with a small ferrite staff that serves as an antenna beacon. One disadvantage is the fact that such an antenna circuit does not have such a sharply defined field of radiation into space.
Similarly, such an embodiment does not lend itself well to incorporation into a thick-walled surface.
SUM~qRY OF THE INVENTION
It is the goal of the present invention to create an antenna circuit for a chip transponder that is to be incorporsted into a thick-walled surface that does not protrude and is thus little prone to damagefrom the outside due to crushing, one that has an effective field of radiation while retaining a high quality factor and sufficient selection difference.
This is achieved in the case of an antenna circuit of the sort named in the preface that conforms to the inven~ion in such a way that the antenna circuit is formed of ceramic cores, which are built into a cavity in a thick-walled surface that is intended for the chip transponder, so that the field of radiation from the ~ntenna circuit extends in a direction away ~rom the surface. The surface is, for example, made of metal.
In this embodiment in keeping with the invention, a damage-resistant chip transponder that is built into a thick-walled surface and an antenna circuit are realized which, despite their incorporation into the metal, yield a high quality factor and adequate antenna properties.

DF,TAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INnn~YTION
The incorporation of a chip transponder into a thick-walled metallic surface and a ceramic core as an antenna entails the problem that the quality factor which, in open space, may be oO, for example, is diminished to 60, for example, as a result of being built in. Such incorporation, therefore, must occur in such a way thht the radiation field has sufficient scope and selective distance. Preferably, such a selective distance should be 20 to 30 cm.
This is realized in the embodiments that are illustrated in the following figures.
Figure la shows a transverse view of an an~enna circuit 1 that works in conjunction with the chip transponder, which circuit consists of a ceramic core resonator 2 and a ceramic core antenna 3. The resonator 2 is formed of a closed ceramic core that consists of two half ceramic , .: : , , ~ , ;
6 ~
cores 4. 5, from which a secondary coil (two windings) is connected wi~h a half of a ceramic core that serves as an antenna. The resonator with the closed ceramic core ~an, despite the metallic environment, have a high Q, as a result of which the antenna which has the ceramic core can have a lower Q. As a result of the aforementioned loose connection, some energy is used for the radiation field. The quality factor on the primary side in the resonator remains sufficiently high. In Figure lb, it is shown that the primary coil in the resonator forms a resonant circuit with a capacitative element C1 in series. The rPsonator is connected to the chip transponder 6.
Figure 2a shows a transverse section of a second embodiment. The secondary circuit is now embodied in such a way as to resonate with a capacitive element C2. In the equivalent diagra~, which is shown in Figure 2b, the frequency of the secondary antenna circuit 8 can be adjusted, for example, to the low side of the frequency band that is to be used, ~hile the primary resonator 7 is then adjusted to its high side.
In this embodiment, the coupling factor, determined by the number of coils and the resistor R, is chosen in such a way that a flat band curve is obtained for the transponder application.
In Figure 3a, a transverse section of a third embodiment is shown, one with a so-called sliced-inductor packet 10. The resonator and the antenna are formed by one and the same half ceramic core. This embodiment has the best antenna properties with good scope of field and an appropriate selection distance. It is bothersome, however, to retain a good quality factor in this case. For the purpose of achieving this end, tinsel conductor, for example, may be used. At the same time, independent, flat, disk-shaped coil packets, as shown in figure 3b, may be used as coils in order to keep ~he capacity of the total assembly low, and, by these means, to retain a hi~h quality ~actor of the resonator.
The equivalent electrical diagram is shown in figure 3c.
In Figure 4a, a transverse section view is presented of a fourth embodiment in which the resonator 12 that consist~ of having a ceramic core is placed with its open side against the antenna 13 that consists of half a ceramic core. In this embodiment, magnetic energy from the resonator is given off to the cer~mic core antenna by way of the magnetic coupling. In Figure 4b, once again, th0 equivalent electrical diagram is indicated.
In Figure 5a, a transverse section view of a further embodiment is indicated, in which the ceramic core resonator and the ceramic core .. .
, : -` 20861~9 antenna are formed once again by one and the same ceramic core 14. This ceramic core is, in part. shut off on the outside by means of a covering disk 15, such as Figure 5b indicates. The mechanism is such, in the meantime, that the resonator's field of distribution is used as the field of radiation due to the fact that the ceramic core has no ideal closed magnetic circuit. In Figure 5c. once again, the equivalent electrical diagram is shown.
In Figure 6. a transverse section view is presented of a transponder 6 with the appropriate resonator-antenna circuit 17. The whole is encapsulated in a packaging 18 and incorporated into a thick metallic wall 16. The antenna circuit may be executed as indicated in Figures 1 to 5.
