Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the existing calibration scheme, since the signal coupling network is on the RU side, not on the AU side, the calibration of the RF port signal through the calibration loop in the signal coupling network can compensate for the interference of the RU on the RF signal, but cannot compensate for the interference of the AU, And the connectors and cables between RU and AU interfere with the radio frequency signal generated by RU, resulting in inaccurate calibration of the amplitude difference and phase difference between the transmitted signals of each two transceiver units, thereby reducing the beam shape and beam Steering accuracy of direction, resulting in degraded beam performance
