Problems solved by technology

However, in the conventional border correction method, since only the power of the radio wave received by the detector 905 is used, the phase of the radio wave radiated from each scatterer antenna cannot be corrected.

Abstract

When each radio wave independently emitted from each scatterer antenna (50-n) is respectively received using a receiving antenna for calibration (60a), a computer (10) measures the amplitude and phase of each received signal (S60a), with a transmitted signal (S22a) used as a reference signal, decides the target amplitude on the basis of each amplitude measured, and decides the target phase on the basis of each phase measured. The reference attenuation amount control voltage (VAa-n) for each attenuator (14a-n) is set to each attenuation amount control voltage for bringing each measured amplitude into agreement with the same target phase respectively, and the reference phase shift amount control voltage (VPa-n) for each phase shifter is set to the phase shift control voltage for bringing each measured phase into agreement with the same target phase respectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an antenna evaluation device for evaluating antenna performance of a radio communication device and an antenna evaluation method using the antenna evaluation device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, it has been proposed to install a plurality of transmitting antennas for modeling scatterers (hereinafter referred to as scatterer antennas) at equal intervals on a circle with a predetermined radius, and to generate An antenna evaluation device for spatially multiplexed waves (for example, refer to Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Documents 1 to 4). In this antenna evaluation device, the transmission signal generated by the signal generator is divided into the same number of transmission signals as the scatterer antenna, and each distributed transmission signal is radiated from the corresponding scatterer antenna through a phase shifter and an attenuator. go out. At this time, by adjusting the phase shift amo...
