Description

Adjustable probe array device and method for active antenna multi-probe amplitude-phase test
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and relates to equipment and a method for active antenna amplitude and phase testing.
Background
In recent years, 5G wireless communication technology is developed vigorously, a large-scale Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) active array antenna is widely used, the MIMO active array antenna is similar to a phased array radar in principle, a plurality of radio frequency channels are connected to a plurality of array elements at the rear end, transmission and reception directivity is adjusted by adjusting amplitude phase distribution of each channel, and non-uniformity of original amplitude phase of each channel affects adjusted amplitude phase distribution, so that consistency of channel amplitude phase is a key point of active array antenna measurement.
The traditional active array antenna channel amplitude-phase consistency test mostly adopts a single probe scheme, the probe is generally positioned outside a near field region of an array element antenna, after the probe is moved by a mechanical device to aim at different array elements, amplitude-phase data of each array element (channel) is acquired, channels required to be measured are sequentially aligned, and the test of all channels of the whole array is completed. With the large-scale application of the 5G base station active array antenna, a more efficient measurement scheme is required for mass shipment of the base station antenna in a production field, so that a test scheme for acquiring amplitude and phase by aligning a multi-probe array to different channels appears, the number of mechanical scanning movement times can be reduced by using the probe array, and the efficiency of a test system is improved. If a 2 x 4 probe array is adopted to carry out 32-channel active array antenna test, only 4 times of mechanical alignment is needed, and the efficiency is improved by 8 times compared with the 32 times of alignment efficiency of the traditional single probe. However, the existing multi-probe array is usually in a fixed array form (the translation stage drives the antenna to be measured to perform alignment scanning in the X/Y direction), and as the probes are required to align array elements during channel amplitude-phase testing, the spacing of the probe array needs to be designed according to the spacing of the antenna array, so that if active array antennas of different types are measured, the probe arrays distributed differently need to be replaced, which is relatively complex work for a production field and is not beneficial to measurement of multiple types; in addition, probe arrays compatible with two specifications are designed, as shown in fig. 1, although space is fully utilized, two 2 × 4 arrays can be utilized to be compatible with two array antennas to be measured with different pitches, the probe array layout is complex, mutual coupling between probes is more serious, the number of matrix switches at the rear end is doubled, and the solution is not good.
In the prior art, the invention patent application No. 201910366770.0, for example, "an antenna testing method and apparatus", which is a direct extension of the conventional single-probe testing system, adopts a probe moving and scanning scheme, does not fully utilize the movable device of the antenna translation stage to be tested (the loading and unloading system of the antenna to be tested originally has a movable device), in addition, the patent does not relate to a specific implementation scheme of the array, if the free movement of all the probes in the X/Y plane needs to be driven by M +2 motors, the system complexity is greatly increased, and the shielding of the wave-absorbing material of the multi-probe array is also a relatively large problem, if the array is not effectively shielded, the probe and the metal structure supporting the array generate strong reflected waves, so that the accuracy of the measurement signal is influenced.

Detailed Description
In order to facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
The main adjustment requirement of the adjustable probe array is to adapt to active array antennas with different array element distances, taking an existing 5G base station antenna below 6GHz as an example, the array antenna works in a frequency band of 2.6GHz or 3.5GHz, the array element distance is about 0.5 lambda to 0.8 lambda, so the array element distance is usually between 43mm and 90mm, the array elements have different distribution patterns of 8 × 8, 8 × 12, 16 × 16 and the like, and the number of channels and the number of array elements also have a certain corresponding relationship of 1: 1. 1: 3 or 1: 6. the design principle of many probe arrays is with the amplitude and phase data that different array element passageways were obtained through the electronic switch switching to the probe of a certain quantity N to promote N times's efficiency of software testing, but the too much one side of probe quantity can increase the complexity of system, for example the quantity of switch matrix etc. and on the other hand the probe has certain size, and mutual noninterference's placing is also comparatively difficult.
Setting array elements of the antenna array to be tested as M multiplied by N, wherein the array element spacing in the X, Y direction is respectively delta x and delta y; the spacing of the probe array in the direction X, Y is 4 Δ x and 2 Δ y or 3 Δ y respectively (compatible with different channel array element ratios).
According to the type of the antenna to be tested which needs to be compatible, the distance between the probe array and the probe array in the X direction is 172-360 mm, the adjustment range delta X is 360-172 mm-188 mm, the distance between the probe array and the probe array in the Y direction is 86-270 mm, and the adjustment range delta Y is 270-86 mm-184 mm; the adjustment range of each direction can be properly adjusted according to the type of the antenna to be measured which is compatible with the actual requirement.
According to the probe array provided by the invention, the adjustment of the probe in the direction X, Y can be realized by adopting single-side adjustment or double-side adjustment. The one-sided adjustment means adjustment to only one side in a certain direction, for example, adjustment to only left or right is possible in the X direction with reference to a fixed side; in the Y direction, only upward adjustment or only downward adjustment is possible. Bilateral adjustment refers to adjustment from the middle to both sides in a certain direction, for example: the adjustment can be carried out towards the left side and the right side from the middle of the X direction; starting from the middle of the Y direction, the adjustment can be carried out up and down at two sides.
And (3) defining an adjustable area of each probe according to the size of the probe and the distance between the probes: if the probe size X, Y is px and py, and the number of probes is I, J, the size of the adjustable region in the X and Y directions of each probe is (px + δ X i) and (py + δ Y j), respectively, where i and j are the coordinate counts of the probe in the X, Y direction, respectively.
For the X direction or the Y direction, if a unilateral adjustment mode is adopted, the coordinates of the fixed probe in the direction are 0, and the times are sequentially counted as 1, 2, 3 … … and n-1;
if a double-side adjustment mode is adopted, then:
when n is an even number, starting from the central coordinate of the direction as 0, the coordinates of the probes on the two sides in the direction are counted as 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 … …, (n-1)/2 in sequence;
when n is an odd number, taking the probe in the middle of the direction as 0, and sequentially counting the coordinates of the probes on the two sides in the direction as 1, 2, … …, (n-1)/2;
wherein n is I or J, and is the number of probes in the direction.
The range of the range can be expanded by several mm in each direction to ensure the convenience of installation and the flexibility of movement.
Embodiment 1 a first embodiment of the present invention is a 2 × 4 probe array, as shown in fig. 2, including a supporting plate 1, 2 × 4 hollow probe adjustable regions 2 are distributed on the supporting plate 1, and one probe 3 is installed in each adjustable region, so that 8 probes form a 2 × 4 probe array. The cross cursor 4 is installed in the probe array, and the installation position of the cross cursor 4 is different according to different adjustment modes. For example: in the unilateral adjustment mode, the cross cursor is positioned at the center of the fixed probe at one side; in the double-side adjustment mode, the cross cursor is positioned at the center of the directional array, so that the cross cursor can be conveniently aligned with the antenna unit to be tested.
Wherein, the supporting plate 1 provides a supporting function for the probe array, and is generally an aluminum or steel metal plate. In order to strengthen the integral strength of the supporting plate and avoid deformation, a reinforcing rib structure can be added on the supporting plate. For example, reinforcing ribs can be added around the supporting plate 1 to avoid deformation. The hollow parts on the supporting plate are probe movable areas, the motion range of each probe is limited by the hollow parts, and mutual collision between the probes is avoided.
Because the probe can move, the scheme of covering and fixing the wave-absorbing material by adopting the traditional fixed probe array is not feasible. Firstly, wave-absorbing materials are required to block probes, so that mutual coupling signals among the probes are avoided; secondly the metal roof at probe rear portion need shelter from completely, avoids producing the reflection influence to the radiation signal of antenna that awaits measuring, can not appear the gap in addition after the probe adjustment interval.
In order to meet the requirements, in the embodiment of the invention, the probe array is provided with the plurality of layers of staggered regional wave-absorbing materials, so that the wave-absorbing materials are effectively shielded in the process of increasing or decreasing the distance between the probes. The cross-sectional view is shown in fig. 3 (taking Y direction as an example):
the bipolar probe is wrapped by a wave-absorbing material sleeve 5 customized according to the shape of the probe, and the top view of the wave-absorbing material sleeve 5 is shown in figure 4.
The first layer of wave-absorbing material 6 is used for shielding a metal frame of the probe array supporting plate 1, and a movable region of a probe on the first layer of wave-absorbing material 6 is hollowed out as in the supporting plate shown in fig. 2 and is adhered and fixed on the lower surface of the supporting plate 1. The probe is convenient to move in the hollow area, and the metal supporting plate is shielded.
As shown in fig. 5, the second layer of wave-absorbing material 7 and the third layer of wave-absorbing material 8 are also hollowed out at corresponding portions, and the hollowed-out size is slightly larger than that of the probe so as to be capable of being sleeved outside the wave-absorbing material sleeve 5. The second layer of wave-absorbing material 7 and the third layer of wave-absorbing material 8 are sleeved outside the probe wave-absorbing material sleeve 5 in a laminating mode through hollow parts and are staggered in the Y direction, and at least one layer of wave-absorbing material is shielded in the rear area under the condition that the probe moves.
Embodiment 2 this embodiment provides a method for using a 2 × 4 probe array for active antenna amplitude-phase testing, which specifically includes:
(1) determining the adjustment mode and range of the probe
The probe adopts a single-side adjustment mode in the X direction and a double-side adjustment mode in the Y direction, so that the size and the adjustable range of the adjustable region of the probe in the X, Y direction can be calculated according to the following steps.
The X direction is adjusted in a single side mode, and the X coordinate of a fixed row of probes is i equal to 0, so that the adjustable area (the size of the hollow area) is px + deltax 0 equal to px in the X direction. Seventhly, the x coordinate of the probe is i equal to 1, so that the adjustable area is px + δ x 1 equal to px + δ x, and the adjustable range of the single-side probe is δ x, as shown in fig. 6.
The Y direction is adjusted bilaterally, the Y coordinate of the center of the direction is 0, the Y coordinate of the probe c is 0.5, so the size of the adjustable area is py + delta Y0.5 py + delta Y/2, the Y coordinate of the probe c is 1.5, and the size of the adjustable area is py +3 delta Y/2. As shown in fig. 6, the probe is closer to the center, the adjustable range in the Y direction is δ Y/2, the two sides are away from the center at the same time to meet the requirement of the adjustable range δ Y, the adjustable range in the Y direction of the probe is 3 δ Y/2, and the distance is adjusted by 3dx while the distance dx is adjusted because the requirement of equal distance is met.
(2) Drive design for adjustable probe array
For a 2X 4 probe array, 8 probes are needed to realize the adjustment of the distance between the probes in the X direction and the Y direction, the traditional mode needs 10 motors, namely, the probes are mounted on a support plate, 1 motor is needed to drive the probes to move in the X direction, and the probes are mounted on a support plate, 1 motor is needed to drive the probes to move in the Y direction, and 1 motor is needed to drive the probes to move in the Y direction.
This embodiment provides many probes linkage scheme according to array adjustment demand, uses 6 motors at most, uses 3 motors at least and can realize 8 probes at X, Y interval adjustment of two directions:
(a) for the X direction, because the probes are fixed and only the probes need to move in the X direction, the 4 probes are connected firmly and driven by 1 motor.
(b) For the motion in the Y direction, the adjustment distances of the probes are the same, and the adjustment distances of the probes are similar, so that 8 probes can be divided into 4 groups, two probes with the same movement requirements are in hard connection, the adjustment in the Y direction can be driven by adopting 4 motors at most, namely the adjustment of the X/Y distance of the 8 probes is realized, and only 5 motors are needed.
Considering the adjustment of the distance in the Y direction, because the probe array is scattered from the center to two sides in the Y direction, the moving distances of the probe and the probe are always the same, the moving directions are opposite, and the probe are also the same, so the movement of the probe and the probe in the Y direction can be driven by one motor, the movement of the probes on two sides can be realized by adopting a single motor to drive a positive screw rod and a negative screw rod, the adjustment of the distance in the Y direction only needs 2 motors at least, and the adjustment of the distance in the X direction can be realized by adding 3 motors of 1 motor in the X direction.
Embodiment 3 this embodiment provides another method for using a 2 × 4 probe array for active antenna amplitude-phase testing, which specifically includes:
(1) determining the adjustment mode and range of the probe
X, Y the probe adjustment range in the Y direction is the same as that in the embodiment 2, as shown in FIG. 7.
The X direction is adjusted bilaterally, the X coordinate of the center is 0, the X coordinate of the probe is 0, the probe is phi, 0, phi, 0, phi, 0, phi, 0, phi, and phi, 0, phi, 0, phi. δ X/2 can be adjusted on both sides in the X direction as shown in FIG. 7.
(2) Drive design for adjustable probe array
The drive design for Y-direction adjustment is the same as that of embodiment 2, and therefore, 2 or 4 motors are required for driving.
In the X direction, 2 independent motors can be adopted, and the probes are hard connected; hard connection is carried out on the probe, and the probe is driven by 2 independent motors respectively or 1 motor is adopted to match with a positive screw rod and a negative screw rod to carry out spacing adjustment.
Therefore, 6 motors are used at most, and the distance between 8 probes X, Y can be adjusted by 3 motors at least.
Embodiment 4 this embodiment provides a third method for using a 2 × 4 probe array for active antenna amplitude-phase testing, which specifically includes:
(1) determining the adjustment mode and range of the probe
X, Y the probe adjustment range in the X direction is the same as that in the embodiment 2, and the single-side probe adjustment range is deltax.
As shown in fig. 8, in the Y direction, a row of probes is fixed, and the Y coordinate of the probe is 0, so that the adjustable region (the size of the hollow region) is py + δ Y × 0 in the Y direction.
The y coordinate of the probe is j equal to 1, so that the adjustable region is py + deltay 1 equal to py + deltay, and the adjustable range of the single-side probe is deltay.
The y coordinate of the probe (c) is j equal to 2, so that the adjustable region is py + δ y 2 equal to py +2 δ y, and the adjustable range of the single-side probe is 2 δ y.
The y coordinate of the probe is j equal to 3, so that the adjustable region is py + delta y x 3 equal to py +3 delta y, and the adjustable range of the single-side probe is 3 delta y.
(2) Drive design for adjustable probe array
In the direction X, the same as the embodiment 2, because the probe is fixed and only the probe needs to move in the direction X, the 4 probes are connected firmly and driven by 1 motor.
In the Y direction, the adjusting ranges of the probes are different, so that the probes are respectively connected with 3 independent motors.
Therefore, the distance between the 8 probes X, Y can be adjusted by 4 motors at most.
In the above embodiments 2, 3 and 4, the installation manner of the probe is the same as the installation manner of the conventional movable probe, and an L-shaped probe bracket can be adopted to be hung on the movable guide rail slide block.
The motor is connected with the screw rod through the coupler and drives the screw rod to rotate. The slider is connected with the lead screw, can pass through the rotation translation of lead screw to drive the probe and carry out displacement adjustment.
It should be further noted that, in the probe array of the present invention, in the active antenna amplitude-phase test, the adjustment manner of the probe is not limited to the specific manner listed in the above embodiments 2, 3, and 4, and the adjustment manners in the X and Y directions can be both single-sided or double-sided adjustment, and a combination of different adjustment manners in the X, Y direction can be performed as needed.
However, it should be noted that if the adjustment in the Y direction is performed in a single-sided manner, the adjustment range of the farthest probe is 3 δ Y, the hollow space to be reserved is too large, which affects the strength of the probe array support plate, and the too large reserved space is not conducive to shielding the wave-absorbing material, and if the blank area cannot be effectively shielded, the metal top plate (back wall) at the back of the probe will affect the measurement signal.
