Problems solved by technology

This traditional AC utilizes fixed time intervals for acquisition and calculation, but this will occupy GP or traffic symbol positions and reduce transmission efficiency
[0012] In addition, because the 3GPP compatible AC interrupts the PDCCH, the delay of the network increases
The frequency at which the AC signal is sent cannot be slowed down due to strict antenna alignment requirements for beamforming and MIMO applications and rapid phase drift due to temperature changes
These conflicting requirements bog down AC solutions

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for antenna calibration, includes predicting a predicted phase difference at a predetermined number of predicted time points within a next measurement time interval based on a time value at a previous measurement time point, a time value at a current measurement time point, an antenna phase difference measured at the previous measurement time point, and an antenna phase difference measured at the current measurement time point; and outputting a predicted phase difference at each predicted point in time. The present disclosure also relates to an apparatus for antenna calibration. With the prediction process of the present disclosure, the AC update interval can be significantly expanded, thereby reducing the negative impact of AC.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to communication systems, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for antenna calibration. Background technique [0002] This section will introduce various aspects that facilitate a better understanding of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the statements in this section should be read in this light and should not be construed as an acknowledgment of what is or is not prior art. [0003] An antenna array is a collection of antennas that have their own independent transmit / receive circuits (or branches) that work together to transmit and receive radio signals. Antenna arrays benefit communication systems in many ways. First, antenna arrays can achieve narrower beams of radio waves with higher transmit and receive gain. It can increase the coverage area without increasing the transmit and receive power. It is especially beneficial for mobile terminals with limited battery power supply. Second, ante...
