Problems solved by technology

Based on the existing domestic and foreign manufacturing levels, chip-level active devices are easy to achieve the consistency of the output signal amplitude, but the phase consistency cannot be guaranteed, and the phase error is within ±180 degrees
Ordinary active transmitting antennas use the method of adding a millimeter-wave phase shifter for phase compensation, and the insertion loss is large, reaching 7dB; and the phase modulation accuracy is poor, and the minimum adjustable angle of the phase is 11.25 degrees; adding a phase shifter will also Increase the length by 10 mm to increase the system volume
For the integrated multi-channel millimeter-wave active transmitting antenna, under the condition of ensuring that the output power remains unchanged, under the constraints of the system requirements that the channel-to-channel amplitude error is within 0.5dB and the phase error is within 10 degrees, adding a millimeter-wave phase shifter in the past The method of phase compensation has irreconcilable contradictions with the miniaturized system structure and index requirements, and there is no relevant and effective implementation method at home and abroad. Therefore, how to easily compensate the amplitude and phase errors of the transmitting channel in a highly integrated active circuit is an important issue. Key Difficulties in Realizing Millimeter Wave Integrated Multi-Channel Active Transmitting Antenna
[0004] In order to realize the integrated and miniaturized design of the millimeter-wave active transmitting antenna, based on the existing integration level, the transmitting module adopts the multi-chip assembly technology based on MMIC technology, and the transmitting module composed of cascaded multi-stage amplifiers in this implementation scheme The channel is relatively easy to ensure the consistency of the transmitted signal amplitude, but the phase consistency is difficult to achieve. At the same time, it is limited by the integration and miniaturization design requirements and cannot add a phase shifter. Therefore, the phase error of the transmitted signal is large, and it is applied to active transmission. The antenna will seriously affect the radiation pattern of the active antenna
