Abstract

The invention discloses an antenna array calibration method and a system. The problem of data distortion in background technology can be solved. The antenna array calibration method comprises the steps of receiving calibration information from a digital signal processor (DSP) in a radio frame, wherein the calibration information comprises an average power value of a calibration sequence, a known symbolic number where the calibration sequence lies and known calibration enable signals; calculating and obtaining the average power value of the calibration sequence by the DSP according to all data of the known calibration sequence; searching a calibration sequence in a second radio frame according to the symbolic number where the known calibration sequence lies and the known calibration enable signals and comparing the received average power value of the calibration sequence of the searched calibration sequence with known target gain; and regulating the gain according to the comparative result and completing antenna array calibration. The antenna array calibration method and the system improve the precision of the average power value of the calibration sequence, and avoid the condition of data distortion and the influence on the calibration sequence after a compression algorithm is introduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of communications, and in particular, to a method and system for calibrating an antenna array. Background technique [0002] In the existing antenna array calibration method, in the downlink direction, the digital signal processing (Digital Signal Processing, DSP) unit inserts the calibration sequence into the position of the downlink baseband data protection time slot (Protect Period, GP), and then sends it to the baseband unit device (Base band Unit (BBU) Field Programmable Gate Array (Field-Programmable Gate Array, FPGA). In the uplink direction, the radio remote unit (Radio Remote Unit, RRU) switches through the switch, combines the calibration signal and the working signal, and then sends it to the RRU-FPGA. Therefore, for BBU-FPGA and RRU-FPGA, the working signal and the calibration signal are mixed together, and they are all processed according to the same process. And the ...
