Description

一种基于数字开关的天线测试系统及方法Antenna testing system and method based on digital switch

技术领域Technical Field

本发明涉及一种天线测试方法,特别是一种基于数字开关的天线测试系统及方法,属于天线测量技术领域。The invention relates to an antenna testing method, in particular to an antenna testing system and method based on a digital switch, belonging to the technical field of antenna measurement.

背景技术Background Art

天线测试是检验天线实际性能重要手段,已经成为了天线研制流程中十分重要且不可或缺的一个流程。随着天线的不断发展,对天线测试系统提出来更高的要求。如多端口多波束天线的问世,在很大程度上提高天线传输能力的同时,对天线测试提出了新的问题,多端口多波束天线通常以数个数十个喇叭作为馈源,加上反射器构成天线。在辐射特性测试时,需要对每一个端口进行测试,传统测试方法需要将每一个端口每次测试,与单端天线测试相比所需要时间长了数倍,在端口数达到一定数量时传统方法所需的测试时间长达数月,无法满足天线研制需求。Antenna testing is an important means to verify the actual performance of the antenna, and has become a very important and indispensable process in the antenna development process. With the continuous development of antennas, higher requirements are placed on antenna testing systems. For example, the advent of multi-port multi-beam antennas has greatly improved the transmission capacity of antennas while raising new issues for antenna testing. Multi-port multi-beam antennas usually use dozens of horns as feed sources, plus reflectors to form antennas. When testing the radiation characteristics, each port needs to be tested. Traditional testing methods require testing each port each time, which takes several times longer than single-ended antenna testing. When the number of ports reaches a certain number, the traditional method requires several months of testing time, which cannot meet the needs of antenna development.

电子开关在测试系统中的出现缓解的这一矛盾,但是也引入了新的问题。如开关差损带来的动态范围下降,通道数量增多带来的探头位置与理想网格偏移。多通道接收机可以解决一部分这类天线的测试需求,但是只能解决天线接收模式的测试需求。The emergence of electronic switches in the test system alleviates this contradiction, but also introduces new problems. For example, the dynamic range decreases due to switch loss, and the probe position deviates from the ideal grid due to the increase in the number of channels. Multi-channel receivers can solve some of the test requirements of this type of antenna, but can only solve the test requirements of the antenna receiving mode.
