AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in the massive MIMO antenna array test, the phase calibration of the near-field test is relatively difficult, so the traditional near-field test scheme based on the near-field-far-field conversion technology is not suitable for the measurement of the massive MIMO antenna array.

Abstract

The invention discloses a near-field testing method for reconstructing an antenna array far-field directional diagram in a radiating near-field region, and belongs to the technical field of antenna measurement. The method comprises the steps: carrying out the phase correction of all antenna units in a to-be-detected antenna array; and reconstructing the antenna array far-field directional diagramin the radiating near-field region under a given distance, wherein the phase correction indicates that the beam pointing direction (shown in the description) of the antenna array far-field directionaldiagram and a near-field testing distance R jointly determine the phase distribution of all antenna units. According to the invention, a far-field directional diagram of a large-scale MIMO antenna array is directly reconstructed at a position with the testing distance R in the radiating near-field region, and the method does not need the near-field to far-field conversion. Afterwards, the methodcan achieve the direct measurement of the far-field directional diagram at the near-field testing distance R. Therefore, the method shortens the testing distance of the large-scale MIMO antenna array,and also reduces the complexity of a near-field measurement system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of antenna measurement, relates to antenna array near-field measurement, in particular to a near-field test method for reconstructing the antenna array far-field pattern in the radiation near-field area. Background technique [0002] In the case of increasingly tight wireless spectrum resources, massive MIMO (Massive MIMO) will be the core technology in 5G mobile communications in order to increase the spectral efficiency of wireless mobile communications by another order of magnitude. In a massive MIMO system, a base station will be equipped with a large number of antennas, usually hundreds or even thousands of antennas, which is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude more than the number of antennas in existing MIMO systems. However, with the sharp increase in the number of antennas, the size of the radiation aperture of the antenna array also increases. In the radiation field area of ​​the antenna, the radiation are...
