Definitions
- Calibration device for an antenna array and method for calibrating it.
- the invention relates to a calibration device for an antenna array and an associated antenna array and
- the antenna array is intended in particular for mobile radio technology, in particular for base stations for mobile radio transmission.
- a generic antenna array usually comprises a plurality of primary radiators, but at least two radiators arranged next to and above one another, so that a two-dimensional array arrangement results. This also under the
- antennas known antenna arrays are used, for example, in the military to track targets (radar). These applications are often referred to as “phased array” antennas. Recently, however, these antennas have increasingly been used in mobile communications, particularly in the frequency ranges 800 MHz to 1000 MHz or. 1700 MHz to 2200 MHz.
- the development of new primary radiator systems has now made it possible to set up dual-polarized antenna arrays, in particular with a polarization orientation of + 45 ° or -45 ° with respect to the horizontal or vertical.
- Antenna arrays of this type regardless of whether they basically comprise dual-polarized or only single-polarized radiators, can be used to determine the direction of the incoming signal. At the same time, however, the radiation direction can also be changed by appropriate coordination of the phase position of the transmission signals fed into the individual columns, i.e. selective beam shaping takes place.
- This alignment of the radiation direction of the antenna can be done by electronic beam swiveling, i.e. the phase positions of the individual signals are set by suitable signal processing. Suitable dimensioned passive beam shaping networks are also possible. The use of active phase shifters or those which can be controlled by control signals in these feed networks to change the radiation direction is also known.
- a beam shaping network can consist, for example, of a so-called Butler matrix, which has, for example, four inputs and four outputs. Depending on the connected input, the network creates a different but fixed phase relationship between the emitters in the individual dipole rows.
- Butler matrix Such an antenna structure with a Butler matrix has become known, for example, from the generic US Pat. No. 6,351,243.
- phase relationship of the individual signals fed into the individual primary radiators depends on the length of the connecting cable. Since this can often be relatively long - especially in exposed locations - it is necessary to calibrate the phase of the antenna, including the connection cables. Active electronic components in the individual feed lines, such as transmit or receive amplifiers, are of course also included in the calibration.
- US Pat. No. 5,644,316 shows an active phase setting device for an antenna, in which a coupling device is provided in front of the antenna array. Downstream of the coupling device are N parallel transmission paths, each comprising a phase and an amplitude adjusting device, via which a radiator element associated with the path in question is controlled on the output side.
- N parallel transmission paths each comprising a phase and an amplitude adjusting device, via which a radiator element associated with the path in question is controlled on the output side.
- the individual paths are measured in succession, for which purpose a probe provided on the output side is assigned to a radiator element in question.
- the transmission signal supplied to the radiator element via the path in question is collected via the probe and also sent to an evaluation device. guided.
- the phase and amplitude setting device By evaluating the transmission signal branched off on the input side in comparison with the transmission signal received via the probe, the phase and amplitude setting device provided there can then be appropriately controlled via the respectively measured path.
- the calibration device therefore requires that the probe be moved successively to each radiator of the antenna array in order to collect the signals emitted by the radiator in question, in order ultimately to carry out the transmission path d upstream of the individual radiators.
- a detailed solution on how to arrange the probes in relation to the beams is not described in this prior publication.
- no symmetrical coupling with respect to the phase position and the amplitude can be produced, at least in the near field of the antennas.
- a comparable calibration device has become known.
- a special signal is preferably fed via the individual signal paths to a radiator assigned to the individual signal paths in order to detect a phase position signal via a probe brought into the near field of the radiator element.
- a phase control device can be controlled on the input side, via which the signal is fed to the radiator element in question.
- coupling devices can also be provided, which are then assigned to each individual radiator element. The coupling devices can be switched on and off in succession via the switching device.
- a method and a device for calibrating a group antenna has also become known from DE 198 06 914 C2.
- a directional coupling device is assigned to each antenna element, via which a signal can be coupled out from the respective signal path.
- test signals are sent in succession to a single antenna radiator and a signal value is coupled out via the directional coupler.
- a power divider is arranged downstream of the directional couplers. The signal fed to an individual radiator in the calibration process is thereby decoupled via the directional coupler in question and guided to the central gate via the power divider.
- a reflection termination is connected to this central gate. The transmission signal component is reflected at this reflection section and divided into partial signals with the same amplitude and phase at the branching gates, there being as many branching gates as there are transmission or reception paths.
- the individual partial signals derived from the transmission signal are now coupled into the individual reception paths via the directional couplers.
- the partial signals present at the outputs of the reception paths and picked up by the radiation shape network are evaluated by a control device.
- a total transmission factor can be determined for each individual path leading to an antenna radiator, by means of which a weighting and ultimately a phase adjustment can be carried out.
- a coupling device is required here, since, as mentioned, in each individual transmission path a partial signal is masked out and secondly a partial signal coming via the refection device and the power divider must be re-coupled in each individual path via the directional couplers provided in order to carry out the relevant evaluation.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a calibration device for an antenna array and an associated antenna array, which or. which has a simple structure and nevertheless has advantages over the prior art.
- the antenna array according to the invention should preferably be a dual-polarized antenna array.
- the associated calibration device should therefore preferably be suitable for such a dual-polarized antenna array.
- the calibration device according to the invention or. the antenna array according to the invention are characterized by numerous
- one probe for each of the two outermost columns (or one coupling device in the case of a single-polarized antenna array or one pair of coupling devices in the case of a dual-polarized antenna array) or, for example, one probe each for the two middle columns (or again the coupling device) can be provided in a corresponding manner.
- a Butler matrix Even in the case of a beam shaping network, it is preferably possible in the form of a Butler matrix. lent to use only one, but preferably at least two fixed probes, each of which is assigned to a radiator element in a different column of the antenna array. The measurement results obtained in this way can ultimately determine a phase relationship with respect to all radiator elements. Ultimately, this is possible because the individual emitters, their arrangement and the length of the supply cable of an input-side connection point to the emitters are measured and matched by the manufacturer such that all emitter elements are fixed in a fixed manner even when using a beam shaping network, e.g. in the manner of a Butler matrix predetermined phase relationship to each other.
- phase shifts occur due to upstream beam shaping networks or due to different upstream cable lengths, the resulting phase shifts affect all radiators, so that ultimately even a single fixed probe or possibly only a single coupling device assigned to one radiator results in a shift the phase position can be detected. This applies even if a down-tilt angle is preset or provided with regard to the large number of radiators in the antenna array.
- the test signals for the calibration process are preferably tapped not via coupling devices, ie in particular not via directional couplers, but rather via probes which can be provided in the near field. It proves to be particularly favorable that even with dual-polarized radiators only one probe is necessary for both polarizations!
- the probes can be positioned directly on the reflector plate of an antenna array so that the vertical extension height is measured. Compared to the plane of the reflector plate is lower than the position and arrangement of the radiator elements, for example the dipole structures for the radiator elements.
- the calibration device according to the invention ie the antenna array according to the invention, can also be constructed from patch radiators or from combinations of patch radiators with dipole structures.
- the small number of probes provided for each antenna array column or, for example, only one probe provided for only a few columns is preferably arranged on the uppermost or lowermost radiator or on the uppermost or lowermost dipole radiator structure.
- the probes are preferably arranged in a vertical plane perpendicular to the reflector plane, which runs symmetrically through the dual-polarized radiator structure. But a lateral offset is also possible in principle.
- the preferably at least two capacitive or inductive probes or the coupling devices which may be used are permanently interconnected by means of a combination network.
- This combination network is preferably constructed in such a way that the group delay from the input of the respective column to the output of the combination network is approximately the same for all antenna inputs (at least with regard to polarization in the case of dual-polarized antennas) and over the entire operating frequency range.
- the antenna array according to the invention or the calibration device according to the invention is suitable for calibrating an antenna array in which the radiators and radiator groups arranged in the individual columns are usually controlled via a separate input.
- a corresponding phase calibration can therefore be carried out using the calibration device according to the invention in order to obtain a desired beam shaping.
- the main beam direction can also be pivoted, especially in the azimuth direction (but of course also in the elevation direction).
- the antenna array according to the invention and the calibration device according to the invention can also be used equally if the antenna array is preceded by a beam shaping network, for example in the form of a Butler matrix.
- the phase position of the transmission from the input of the individual columns or the antenna inputs is preferably of the same size, but in practice the phase position (or the group delay) has more or less strong tolerance-related deviations from the ideal phase position.
- the ideal phase position is given by the fact that the phase is identical for all paths, including with regard to the beam shaping.
- the more or less strong tolerance-related deviations result additively as an offset or also frequency-dependent through different frequency responses.
- the deviations over all transmission paths are preferably based on the distance from the antenna array or beam shaping network input to the probe output or input to the ⁇ on outputs and preferably measured over the entire operating frequency range (for example, during the production of the antenna).
- the transmission paths are preferably measured on the route from the antenna array or beam shaping network input to the coupling output or coupling outputs.
- This determined data can then be saved in a data record.
- These data which are stored in a suitable form, for example in a data record, can then be made available to a transmitting device or the base station in order to then be taken into account for the electronic generation of the phase position of the individual signals. It has proven to be particularly advantageous, for example, to assign this data or the mentioned data record with the corresponding data to a serial number of the antenna.

- FIG. 6 an exemplary embodiment extended to FIG. 5 using coupling devices for a dual-polarized antenna array
- FIG. 7 a diagram for deriving the phase relationships of the individual radiators arranged in different columns.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic top view of an antenna array 1 which, for example, comprises a multiplicity of dual-polarized radiators or radiator elements 3 which are arranged in front of a reflector 5.
- the antenna array shows columns 7 which are arranged vertically, four emitters or emitter groups 3 being arranged one above the other in each column in the exemplary embodiment shown.
- the antenna array shows columns 7 which are arranged vertically, four emitters or emitter groups 3 being arranged one above the other in each column in the exemplary embodiment shown.
- four columns 7 are provided in the antenna array according to FIGS. 1 and 2, in each of which the four radiators or radiator groups 3 are positioned.
- the individual emitters or emitter groups 3 do not necessarily have to be arranged at the same height in the individual columns.
- the emitters or emitter groups 3 can be arranged offset in each case in two adjacent columns 7 by half the vertical distance between two adjacent emitters.
- a probe 11, which can work inductively or capacitively, is assigned to each of the left-most and right-most columns 7, for example, each of the dual-polarized radiator 3 arranged at the bottom.
- This probe 11 can consist, for example, of a columnar or pin-shaped probe body, which extends perpendicular to the plane of the reflector 5.
- the probes 11 can also consist, for example, of inductively operating probes in the form of a small induction loop.
- the respective probe is preferably arranged in a vertical plane 13, in which the either single-polarized radiators or the dual-polarized radiators or radiator elements 3 are arranged.
- the probes are preferably arranged in the near field of the associated radiators.
- the exemplary embodiment is a capacitive probe.
- the radiators 3 can consist, for example, of cross-shaped dipole radiators or of dipole squares. Dual-polarized dipole radiators, such as are known for example from WO 00/39894, are particularly suitable. Reference is made in full to the disclosure content of this prior publication and made the content of this application.
- a beam shaping network 17 is also provided in FIG. 1, which has, for example, four inputs 19 and four outputs 21.
- the four outputs of the beam shaping network 17 are connected to the four inputs 15 of the antenna array.
- the number of outputs N can deviate from the number of inputs n, ie in particular the number of outputs N can be greater than the number of inputs n.
- a feed cable 23 is then connected to one of the inputs 19, via which all outputs 21 are fed accordingly. For example, if the feed cable 23 is connected to the first input 19.1 of the beam shaping network 17, a horizontal radiator alignment with, for example, -45 ° to the left can be effected, as can be seen from the schematic diagram in FIG. 3.
- the antenna array can be operated in such a way that, for example, a pivoting by 15 ° to the left or to the right relative to the vertical plane of symmetry of the antenna array is effected can. It is therefore customary in such a beam shaping network 17 to provide a corresponding number of inputs for different angular orientations of the main lobe of the antenna array, the number of outputs generally corresponding to the number of columns of the antenna array. Each input is connected to a large number of outputs, as a rule each input is connected to all outputs of the beam shaping network 17.
- the calibration device which is explained in detail below, is also particularly suitable for an antenna array according to FIGS. 1 and 2, which does not have an upstream beam shaping network, in particular in the form of a Butler matrix.
- the column inputs 15 of the antenna array are then fed via a corresponding number of separate feed cables or other feed connections.
- only four feed lines 23 running in parallel are provided in FIG. 1, which are then connected directly to the column inputs 15 of the antenna array, omitting the beam shaping network shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 4 shows schematically the further structure and the functioning of the calibration device and the antenna array. In this case, only four radiator elements 3 are indicated schematically in FIG. 4, specifically one radiator element per column 7.
- FIG. 4 a simplified embodiment is described in which an antenna array with four columns only two probes 11c and 11d are used. These probes are arranged so that each probe is arranged in a pair next to one another. Neten columns 7 is assigned. In other words, the probe 11c is arranged in the intermediate area between the two columns on the left and the probe 11c in the intermediate area between the two columns 7 on the right of the four-column antenna array according to FIG.
- the two probes 11c and 11d are each connected via a signal line 25 'and 25 "to a combiner 27 (Comb), the output of which is connected to a connection S via a line 29.
- Comb combiner 27
- a pilot tone is now applied to the lead for the input A, i.e. a known signal is given in order to measure the absolute phase at the output S of the combination network 27 (Comb), for example a combiner. Now you can do this for the supply line at inputs B, C and D.
- phase actuators 37 which are connected upstream of the inputs A to D.
- a corresponding electrical connection line 23 would then, for example, at the entrance A, B, C or D are connected, that is to say an input upstream of the respective phase compensation device 37, in order to bring about a corresponding alignment of the main lobe with a different horizontal alignment as desired.
- the phase actuators 37 can also consist of electrical line sections which are connected upstream of the individual inputs A to D in a suitable length in order to effect the phase compensation or phase adjustment in the desired sense.
- probes 11 offer the advantage that the corresponding calibration can be carried out with a corresponding number of probes both with single-polarized and also with dual-polarized antenna arrays.
- FIG. 5 shows a comparable structure in which 11 coupling devices 111 are used instead of probes.
- coupling devices 111 only calibration for single-polarized antenna arrays can then be carried out.
- a construction using corresponding pairs of coupling devices is then necessary, as is evident from FIG. 6, which is explained below.
- the beam shaping network 17 can be, for example, a known Butler matrix 17 ′, the four inputs A, B, C and D of which are each connected to the outputs 21, via which the radiators 3 are fed via lines 35.
- two probes 11 that are as identical as possible are now provided, each of which receives a small part of the respective signals.
- the combination network 27 mentioned for example a so-called combiner (comb)
- the outcoupled signals are added.
- the result of the decoupling of the signals and the addition can also be measured on the combination network via an additional connection.
- FIG. 6 shows that a combination network can be used for calibration, which does not work with probes 11, but rather coupling devices 111, for example directional couplers 111.
- the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5 also shows how the calibration network can be combined for phase adjustment of the feed lines.
- Such a combination makes sense if e.g. the respective beam shaping network 17, for example the so-called Butler matrix 17 ', can be implemented together with the couplers and combination networks on a circuit board, since largely identical units (in each case coupler combination networks) can thereby be produced.
- Figure 6 shows the expansion compared to Figure 5 Dual polarized radiators with a beam shaping network, the two outputs of the respective combination network 27 'and 27 ", for example in the form of a combiner (Comb), combined with the inputs of a downstream second combination network 28 also in the form of a combiner (Comb) and to the common output S.
- the combination network 27 'thus serves to determine the phase position on a radiator element with respect to the one polarization, the combination network 27 "being used to determine the phase position on a radiator in question for the other polarization.
- phase actuators can consist of line sections that can be connected upstream in order to change the phase position.
- a probe 11 can of course also be used instead of a coupling device 111, via which the signals emitted by a dual-polarized radiator can be received in both polarizations. Thus, only one probe is required for both polarizations.
- the network points M1, M2, M3 and M4 could be measured and generated depending on whether a connecting line 23 is connected to the input A, B, C or D.
- the straight lines shown in FIG. 7 can then be determined by the fixed phase assignment of the radiators arranged in the individual columns 11, as a result of which the exact phase position can be derived. With appropriate evaluation of the data from this diagram, a corresponding phase adjustment can then be carried out on the input side, preferably before the beam shaping network.
- the use of only one probe can only be realized if it is an antenna array with only two columns or an antenna array with several columns, which is preceded by a beam shaping network, for example in the form of a Butler matrix. Because only in this case is there a predetermined phase relationship to the radiators in the individual columns.
- corresponding measuring points M11, M12, M13 and M14 could be determined, if the corresponding straight lines could be laid again through the fixed phase relationship through these points. This would also make it possible to derive the same diagram according to FIG. 7 in order to be able to make the corresponding phase settings and calibrations.
- the measuring points M1 to M4 and the measuring points would be in each case in the diagram according to FIG M31 to M34 can be determined, which facilitates the entire evaluation.
