Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an antenna adjustment method, device, system, antenna and medium. Background Art
[0002] An antenna is a device that can emit electromagnetic waves for real-time communication. The device is generally installed on the top or side wall of a room, or on an outdoor tower, the outer surface of a building, a street lamp pole, or a post pole. Currently, common antennas are mainly composed of several groups of antenna elements and protective covers, which can emit electromagnetic waves to cover the target area. Due to the wide application of antennas in mobile communications, they generally need to meet the characteristics of small size, light weight, easy integration, low power consumption, and easy installation and adjustment. However, existing outdoor antennas often require large or ultra-large-scale radiating element arrays for beamforming, which forces outdoor antennas to be large in size, heavy in weight, and difficult to adjust.
[0003] At the same time, the existing antenna adjustment has low accuracy, small range, and is difficult to adjust linearly. Taking the current 3.5G active antenna unit (AAU) device with an ideal hanging height of 25m and a coverage of 400m as an example, the minimum adjustment step of the AAU device is fixed at 1°, and the downtilt adjustment range is 0° to 10°. Therefore, for every 1° adjustment of the AAU device, the coverage range of the main coverage beam can change from 7 meters to 50 meters. The azimuth angle of the AAU device is generally determined by the operator according to the direction of the compass, making the adjustment accuracy of the antenna susceptible to the subjective judgment and experience of the operator, reducing the adjustment accuracy of the azimuth angle of the AAU device and increasing the difficulty of signal optimization.
[0004] Therefore, how to accurately adjust the angle of the antenna is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0009] According to the target angle information, a rotating device on the antenna is controlled to adjust the angle of the antenna.

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Those skilled in the art know that the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented as a system, device, apparatus, method or computer program product. Therefore, the present invention can be specifically implemented in the following forms, namely: complete hardware, complete software (including firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.), or a combination of hardware and software.
[0033] It should be understood herein that any number of elements in the drawings is for illustration rather than limitation, and any naming is only for distinction rather than having any limiting meaning.
[0034] For ease of understanding, some concepts involved in the embodiments of the present invention are explained below:
[0035] Three-dimensional rotation device: The basic structure is mainly two rotating axes combined perpendicular to each other, which can make the object rotate within a certain angle range in different directions, and can also be combined with a three-dimensional translation device to adjust the position in space.
[0036] Vibrator: The basic unit of an antenna that can emit electromagnetic wave radiation.
[0037] Amplitude modulation element: A type of element that can modulate the amplitude of electromagnetic waves.
[0038] Phase modulation element: a type of element that can phase modulate electromagnetic waves.
[0039] Liquid crystal: A substance that has some properties of both liquid and crystal, generally composed of organic compounds with slender rod-shaped or flat sheet-shaped molecular structures. Under certain conditions, it can produce pure phase modulation of incident electromagnetic waves.
[0040] In one possible scenario, taking the antenna on the base station as an example, with the construction and planning of the city, the main activity area of users has changed and moved, making it impossible for the antenna on the base station to continue to provide services to users well, and even causing large-scale network blockage and user complaints. In order to solve this problem, operators are required to perform daily maintenance on the antenna on the base station. Operators need to frequently go to the base station site and climb the tower to adjust the azimuth and downtilt angle of the antenna on the base station, which increases certain safety risks. In addition, operators need to spend a lot of time going to the base station site and climbing the tower, which reduces the efficiency of antenna adjustment. Once encountering bad weather conditions or at night, timely optimization of the signal cannot be guaranteed.
[0041] Therefore, in order to ensure the adjustment accuracy of the antenna and reduce the difficulty of signal optimization, the embodiments of the present invention provide an antenna adjustment method, device, system, antenna and medium. During the antenna adjustment process, the main distribution area of the users served by the antenna can be determined according to the antenna position of the antenna and the user position of the user, thereby facilitating the subsequent accurate determination of the area mainly served by the antenna. Based on the antenna position and the center position of the main distribution area, the target angle information of the antenna can be determined. Subsequently, based on the target angle information, the angle of the antenna can be automatically and accurately adjusted, thereby ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the antenna, avoiding the error caused by the operator adjusting the antenna angle, increasing the difficulty of signal optimization, and reducing the difficulty of signal optimization.
[0042] It should be noted that the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the antenna, can be applied not only in application scenarios such as 5G millimeter wave, 6G, 7G, optical communication, but also in other application scenarios. It should be understood that the application scenarios cited in the above embodiments are only for the convenience of explaining the proposed exemplary scenarios, and are not a limitation on the application scenarios of the antenna adjustment method, device, system, antenna and medium provided in the embodiment of the present application. It is known to those skilled in the art that with the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.
[0043] Embodiment 1:
[0044] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an antenna adjustment process provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the process includes:
[0045] S101: Determine a main distribution area of users served by the antenna according to the antenna position of the antenna and the user position of the user.
[0046] The antenna adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to an electronic device, which may be an intelligent device, such as a mobile terminal, a laptop computer, etc., or may be a server, a base station, an antenna, etc.
[0047] The electronic device can adjust the antenna according to the preset period using the antenna adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, so that the antenna can be adjusted in real time to ensure the timeliness of the adjustment. The electronic device can also adjust the antenna at a preset time using the antenna adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present invention. Of course, the electronic device can also adjust the antenna using the antenna adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present invention after receiving the adjustment request. In the specific implementation process, it can be flexibly set according to actual needs.
[0048] The antenna can be installed not only on signal towers, but also on poles, drip irrigation, rooftops, indoor side walls, top walls, etc. It is only necessary to adjust the antenna's shape, format, size, etc. according to the needs of different places.
[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, the user location can be determined based on information such as a satellite positioning system (GPS (Global Positioning System, Global Positioning System), Beidou, Galileo, etc.), AGPS (Assisted GPS, Assisted GPS), indoor WiFi, the timing advance (Timing Advance, TA) reported by the user's terminal to the base station, and three-point positioning technology.
[0050] The user location may be collected by the electronic device itself or received from other devices. For example, if the electronic device is a base station, the electronic device may collect the user location itself, or it may be obtained and sent to the electronic device by an adjacent base station or across base stations.
[0051] It should be noted that the user location may include only the user locations of users within the antenna service area, or may include the user locations of users within the antenna service area and the user locations of users outside the antenna service area, for example, the user locations of users in the entire network.
[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, the antenna position may be pre-recorded in the electronic device, or may be acquired from other devices.
[0053] In one example, after the electronic device obtains the antenna position of the target wire and the user position of the user, the antenna position and the user position can be preprocessed so that the preprocessed antenna position and the preprocessed user position are position information in the same coordinate system, for example, position information in a coordinate system with the antenna position as the origin, and position information in a world coordinate system. The processed user positions are then clustered, and each distribution area is determined based on the clustering results. The center position of each distribution area is determined. For each center position, if the distance between the center position and the antenna position is within a preset distance range, the distribution area where the center position is located is determined to be the main distribution area of the users served by the antenna.
[0054] The processed user locations may be clustered using clustering algorithms such as a K-means clustering algorithm and a density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN).
[0055] In another example, the main distribution area of users served by the antenna can also be determined based on the antenna position of the antenna and the user position of the user through area determination algorithms and models, such as classification, regression analysis, neural network algorithms, deep learning models, etc.
[0056] In a possible implementation, the electronic device can also obtain the user's behavior information to determine the main distribution area of the users served by the antenna based on the antenna position, the user position and behavior information of each user. In this way, it is possible to determine the main distribution area of the users served by the antenna in combination with the user's behavior information, so that the main distribution area can reflect the user's behavior information, which is conducive to the subsequent antenna to more accurately provide services to users with specific behavior information, thereby improving the user experience.
[0057] Among them, the user's behavior information may include one or more of the following: service category (such as Volte (Voice over LTE, high-definition voice) service, data service, 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G communication service, etc.), terminal throughput, user level (such as star user, public customer, VIP, etc.).
[0058] It should be noted that the behavior information can be collected by the user or sent by other devices. For example, if the electronic device is a base station, the user's terminal can report the behavior information to the electronic device, or the behavior information uploaded by the terminal can be received by an adjacent base station or across base stations and sent to the electronic device.
[0059] In a possible implementation, after the electronic device obtains the antenna position of the target wire, the user position of the user, and the behavior information, it can cluster the user position of at least one user corresponding to each behavior information, and determine each distribution area according to the clustering result. Determine the center position of each distribution area. For each center position, if the distance between the center position and the antenna position is within a preset distance range, determine that the distribution area where the center position is located is the main distribution area of the user corresponding to the behavior information served by the antenna.
[0060] In another possible implementation, the main distribution area of users served by the antenna can be determined based on the antenna position of the antenna, the user position of the user, and the user's behavior information through area determination algorithms and models, such as classification, regression analysis, neural network algorithms, deep learning models, etc.
[0061] Figure 2 The electronic device determines the main distribution area of users served by the antenna according to the antenna position, the user position and behavior information of each user, which are respectively Figure 2 There are three discontinuous main distribution areas A, B, and C shown in the figure, where areas A and B represent ground areas of different sizes, and area C represents an area somewhere in a high-rise building. The main distribution areas A, B, and C are determined by comprehensively considering factors such as the user location, user behavior information, and base station location, and do not just refer to the distribution of physical user locations.
[0062] S102: Determine target angle information of the antenna based on the antenna position and the center position of the main distribution area.
[0063] After the main distribution area is obtained based on the above embodiment, the center position of the main distribution area can be determined. Then, according to the antenna position and the center position, the target angle information of the antenna can be determined.
[0064] The target angle information identifies the angle between the antenna and the preset initial position when the antenna provides services to users in the main distribution area, and the angle includes a direction and an angle value. In other words, the target angle information includes a direction and an angle value.
[0065] In a possible implementation, the arc corresponding to the main distribution area can be determined, and the center of the arc can be determined as the center position of the main distribution area. For example, the boundary information of the main distribution area is extracted, the boundary information is fitted, the arc corresponding to the main distribution area is obtained, and then the center of the arc is determined as the center position of the main distribution area.
[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, the target angle information of the antenna can be determined based on the antenna position and the center position by a preset algorithm, or by a pre-configured correspondence between the antenna position-center position and the angle information. Of course, the target angle information of the antenna can also be determined based on the antenna position and the center position by a pre-trained model. In the specific implementation process, it can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0067] The target angle information includes one or more of the following: azimuth angle and downtilt angle.
[0068] For example, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a scenario for determining target angle information provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the coordinate system with the ground position of the signal tower as the origin, the center position of the main distribution area is determined to be (x, y, z), and the antenna position is (0, 0, z0). Then the azimuth angle α and downtilt angle β of the antenna can be determined by the formula:
[0069]
[0070]
[0071] Among them, x, y, z can be positive or negative or 0, and the value range of α and β is 0-360°.
[0072] S103: According to the target angle information, controlling a rotating device on the antenna to adjust the angle of the antenna.
[0073] After the electronic device obtains the target angle information, it can control the antenna to adjust the angle according to the target angle information.
[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, a rotating device is installed on the antenna, so that the angle of the antenna can be adjusted by the rotating device. For example, the rotating device can be a three-dimensional rotating device, and the three-dimensional rotating device can include two mutually perpendicular rotating axes, through which 360° rotation in different directions can be achieved, and the azimuth angle and downtilt angle of the antenna can be adjusted.
[0075] It should be noted that, considering that the user position and the user's behavior information often change, the determined main distribution area and the center position of the main distribution area will also change, which will cause the target angle information of the antenna to change accordingly. Therefore, the rotating device is instantly adjustable, and the electronic device can obtain the user position and the user's behavior information in a cycle for multiple times, and determine the target angle information of the antenna based on the user position and the user's behavior information obtained each time, so as to adjust the angle of the antenna through the rotating device according to the target angle information.
[0076] In one example, the electronic device stores the current angle of the antenna. The electronic device can determine the angle offset of the antenna based on the current angle and the determined target angle information. Based on the angle offset, the antenna can be controlled to adjust its angle.
[0077] For example, if the antenna is an antenna of an electronic device, after the electronic device obtains the angle offset, it directly adjusts the direction of the antenna according to the angle offset, and controls the antenna to offset the target angle value in the target angle direction. The angle offset includes the target angle direction and the target angle value. Exemplarily, the electronic device can control the operation of the rotating device through the circuit system and the control system, and then control the rotating device on the antenna to adjust the angle of the antenna according to the target angle information.
[0078] For example, if the antenna is not an antenna of an electronic device, after the electronic device obtains the angle offset, it can send the angle offset to the antenna, so that after the antenna receives the angle offset, it can control the rotating device on the antenna to adjust the angle of the antenna.
[0079] In another possible implementation, if the antenna is not an antenna of an electronic device, after the electronic device obtains the target angle information, it can send the target angle information to the antenna, so that after the antenna receives the target angle information, it can control the rotating device on the antenna to adjust the angle of the antenna.
[0080] In actual application, there may be a situation where the main distribution area of the users served by the antenna does not change much, or there may be a situation where the main distribution area of the users served by the antenna changes greatly. Only when the main distribution area of the users served by the antenna changes greatly, is it necessary to adjust the angle of the antenna. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the main distribution area served by the antenna determined last time (recorded as the user distribution area) will be cached. After determining the main distribution area of the users served by the antenna, the area offset between the main distribution area and the cached user distribution area can be determined. If the area offset is not within the preset offset range, it means that the main distribution area of the users served by the antenna changes greatly, and it is necessary to perform subsequent steps to determine the target angle information of the antenna based on the antenna position and the center position of the main distribution area to adjust the angle of the antenna.
[0081] In a possible implementation, if the main distribution area of users served by the antenna does not change much, the angle of the antenna may not be adjusted, which can save resources consumed in determining the target angle information. Exemplarily, after the area offset is determined based on the above embodiment, if it is determined that the area offset is within a preset offset range, the subsequent step of determining the target angle information may not be performed.
[0082] During the antenna adjustment process, the main distribution area of users served by the antenna can be determined based on the antenna position and the user position of the user, which facilitates the subsequent accurate determination of the area mainly served by the antenna. Based on the antenna position and the center position of the main distribution area, the target angle information of the antenna can be determined. Based on the target angle information, the angle of the antenna can be automatically and accurately adjusted, ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the antenna, avoiding the error caused by the operator adjusting the antenna angle, and reducing the difficulty of signal optimization.
[0083] Embodiment 2:
[0084] In order to further accurately adjust the antenna, based on the above embodiment, in an embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:
[0085] If it is determined that the area offset is within a preset offset range, or the rotating device on the antenna has been controlled to adjust the angle of the antenna, the beam transmission information is determined according to the user information; wherein the user information includes one or more of the following: the user location and the behavior information;
[0086] The beam transmitted by the antenna is adjusted according to the beam transmission information.
[0087] In an embodiment of the present invention, the beam transmitted by the antenna can be adjusted to achieve the purpose of further optimizing the signal. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, when there is no need to adjust the antenna, or when the adjustment of the antenna has been completed, the beam transmission information can be determined based on the user information to adjust the beam transmitted by the antenna according to the beam transmission information, which can further improve the signal quality and user experience, thereby achieving comprehensive optimization of the signal. Exemplarily, if it is determined based on the above-mentioned embodiment that the area offset is within a preset offset range, or the rotating device on the antenna has been controlled to adjust the angle of the antenna, the beam transmission information is determined based on the user information, and then the beam transmitted by the antenna is adjusted according to the beam transmission information.
[0088] The user information includes one or more of the following: the user location and the behavior information.
[0089] In one example, the beam transmission information can be determined based on the user information according to a preset algorithm, such as classification, regression analysis, etc., or the beam transmission information corresponding to the current user information can be determined according to the correspondence between the user information and the beam transmission information. Of course, the beam transmission information can also be determined based on the user information through a pre-trained model, such as a deep learning model, a neural network model, etc. In the specific implementation process, it can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0090] In an embodiment of the present invention, the beam transmission information includes one or more of the following: local switching of the information source, the strength of the information source, the amplitude of the radiated electromagnetic wave, and the phase of the radiated electromagnetic wave.
[0091] Exemplarily, if the beam transmission information includes a local switch of a signal source, after the electronic device determines the beam transmission information, the antenna can control a signal source control unit (e.g., a radiation element array unit) in the antenna based on the beam transmission information to adjust the local switch of the signal source, thereby adjusting the beam transmitted by the antenna.
[0092] If the beam transmission information includes the strength of the information source, after the electronic device determines the beam transmission information, the antenna can control the information source control unit in the antenna to adjust the strength of the information source based on the beam transmission information, thereby adjusting the beam transmitted by the antenna.
[0093] Taking the antenna installed on the electronic device as an example, after the electronic device determines the beam transmission information, it can control the radiating vibrator array unit through the network management system, circuit system, control and other systems to adjust the local switch of the signal source, and / or the strength of the signal source, thereby adjusting the beam transmitted by the antenna.
[0094] If the beam transmission information includes the amplitude of the radiated electromagnetic wave, after the electronic device determines the beam transmission information, the antenna can control the amplitude modulation unit (for example, the amplitude modulation element) in the antenna based on the beam transmission information to adjust the amplitude of the radiated electromagnetic wave, thereby adjusting the beam transmitted by the antenna.
[0095] Taking the antenna installed on the electronic device as an example, after the electronic device determines the beam transmission information, it can control the amplitude modulation element through the network management system, circuit system, control and other systems to adjust the amplitude of the radiated electromagnetic wave, thereby adjusting the beam emitted by the antenna.
[0096] If the beam transmission information includes the phase of the radiated electromagnetic wave, after the electronic device determines the beam transmission information, the antenna can control the phase modulation unit (such as the phase modulation element) in the antenna based on the beam transmission information to adjust the phase of the radiated electromagnetic wave, thereby adjusting the beam transmitted by the antenna.
[0097] Taking the antenna installed on the electronic device as an example, after the electronic device determines the beam transmission information, it can control the phase modulation element through the network management system, circuit system, control and other systems to adjust the phase of the radiated electromagnetic wave, thereby adjusting the beam transmitted by the antenna.
[0098] It should be noted that the antenna can also be installed on other devices.
[0099] Considering that the user's location and the user's behavior information often change, the determined beam transmission information will also change. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device can obtain the user's location and the user's behavior information in a loop for multiple times, and determine the beam generation information based on the user's location and the user's behavior information obtained each time, so as to timely adjust the beam transmitted by the antenna according to the determined beam generation information, thereby realizing all-weather real-time automatic antenna adjustment.
[0100] In an embodiment of the present invention, the angle of the antenna can be modulated by a rotating device so that the beam emitted by the antenna covers a certain main direction, and the beam sent by the antenna can be adjusted by a beam forming module on the antenna. The beam forming module includes at least a radiation element array unit and a phase modulation element. Optionally, the beam forming module may also include an amplitude modulation element. Therefore, when the user position and the user's behavior information do not change much, the change amplitude of the main distribution area and the center position of the main distribution area is also small, and the beam sent by the antenna can be adjusted only by the beam forming module on the antenna. When the user position and the user's behavior information change greatly, the change amplitude of the main distribution area and the center position of the main distribution area is also large, and the angle of the antenna can be modulated by the rotating device first, and then the beam sent by the antenna can be adjusted by the beam forming module on the antenna.
[0101] In the embodiment of the present invention, the rotating device, the radiation oscillator array unit, the amplitude modulation element and the phase modulation element can be completely remotely controlled by the electronic device, and no manual adjustment is required by the operator on site or in the background, which reduces the workload of the operator and avoids the error caused by the operator adjusting the antenna angle, which increases the difficulty of signal optimization. In addition, the angle of the antenna and / or the beam emitted by the antenna are adjusted according to the user position and the user's position information, which ensures the accuracy of the adjustment.
[0102] In some possible scenarios, the operator needs to control the angle of the antenna and the beam emitted by the antenna. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the operator can also manually input the target angle information and / or the beam emission information to manually control the angle of the antenna and the beam emitted by the antenna. The operator can be an operator on site or an operator in the background.
[0103] Embodiment 3:
[0104] In order to further accurately control the antenna, based on the above embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:
[0105] Determining target displacement information of the antenna based on the antenna position and the center position;
[0106] According to the target displacement amount, the displacement device on the antenna is controlled to adjust the position of the antenna.
[0107] In the embodiment of the present invention, a displacement device (such as a three-dimensional translation device) is also installed on the antenna, so that the antenna can be controlled to move in translation through the three-dimensional translation device.
[0108] In an example, the target displacement information of the antenna can be determined by manual input, and then according to the target displacement information, the displacement device on the antenna is controlled to translate the antenna, thereby adjusting the position of the antenna.
[0109] In another example, the horizontal distance between the antenna position and the center position can also be determined based on the antenna position and the center position. If the horizontal distance is greater than the farthest horizontal distance of the beam currently transmitted by the antenna, the distance difference between the horizontal distance and the farthest horizontal distance is determined. According to the distance difference, the target displacement information of the antenna is determined. Then, according to the target displacement information, the displacement device on the antenna is controlled to translate the antenna, thereby adjusting the position of the antenna.
[0110] In a possible implementation, the rotating device and the displacement device on the antenna may be separate components, or their functions may be integrated and combined into the same component.

[0115] It should be noted that the antenna provided in the embodiment of the present invention has the same principle as that of solving the technical problem in the above embodiment. Please refer to the above embodiment for details and no further details will be given here.
[0116] Furthermore, the controller 42 is specifically configured to determine a main distribution area of users served by the antenna according to the antenna position and the user position and behavior information of each of the users.
[0117] Furthermore, the target angle information includes one or more of the following: an azimuth angle and a downtilt angle.
[0118] Further, the controller 42 is specifically configured to determine the angle offset of the antenna according to the current angle of the antenna and the target angle information;
[0119] According to the angle offset, the rotating device 41 is controlled to adjust the angle of the antenna.
[0120] Furthermore, the controller 42 is also used to determine the main distribution area of users served by the antenna based on the antenna position and the user position of the user, and then determine the regional offset between the main distribution area and the cached user distribution area before determining the target angle information of the antenna based on the antenna position and the center position of the main distribution area; and determine that the regional offset is not within a preset offset range.
[0121] Furthermore, the antenna further comprises:
[0122] A beam forming module, used for transmitting a beam;
[0123] The controller 42 is also used to determine the beam transmission information according to the user information if it is determined that the area offset is within a preset offset range, or the rotating device 41 on the antenna has been controlled to adjust the angle of the antenna; wherein the user information includes one or more of the following: the user location and the behavior information; and adjust the beam transmitted by the beam generating module according to the beam transmission information.
[0124] In one example, the beam forming module includes at least a radiation vibrator array unit and a phase modulation device. The radiation vibrator array unit is used to generate a signal source, and includes at least one antenna vibrator. It can be located on one side of the rotating device 41 of the antenna. The phase modulation device is placed in parallel with the radiation vibrator array unit and is located on the same side of the rotating device 41 of the antenna as the radiation vibrator array unit. The radiation vibrator array unit is located between the phase modulator and the rotating device 41. The phase modulation device is used to modulate the phase of the electromagnetic wave to achieve beamforming. The phase modulation device can be designed by computer aided design and controlled by the antenna controller 42. It can change the input signal in real time to achieve real-time modulation of the spatial distribution of the electromagnetic wave.
[0125] Phase modulation elements are designed based on the principle of electromagnetic wave diffraction, and phase modulation is achieved through wavefront conversion, that is, the emission angle of electromagnetic waves can be freely modulated; usually, optimization algorithms such as Geisberg-Saxon (GS), annealing, and genetics can be used to obtain their surface structure. Since phase modulation elements are designed based on the theory of electromagnetic wave diffraction, wear, contamination, and failure of any part will not affect the overall function of its wavefront modulation, and the electromagnetic wave can still be directed to the set area, and the cost is only the loss of some electromagnetic wave energy.
[0126] In one possible implementation, the controller 42 may include a background control submodule, a circuit submodule, and a network management submodule. Through the joint collaboration of these three modules, the target angle information of the antenna, such as the azimuth and downtilt angle of the antenna, and the beam transmission information, such as signal source on / off, signal source strength, electromagnetic wave amplitude, and electromagnetic wave phase, can be determined.
[0127] For example, the background control submodule can determine the target angle information and beam emission information of the antenna based on user information. According to the beam emission information, the switch of each oscillator in the radiation oscillator array unit and the strength of each oscillator are adjusted, that is, the local switch of the signal source and the strength of the signal source are adjusted, the local on-off of the amplitude modulation element and the amplitude adjustment of the electromagnetic wave are controlled, and the phase modulation element is controlled to adjust the phase of the electromagnetic wave, that is, the exit angle of the beam, so that the beam can cover the main distribution area served by the antenna and the signal is optimized.
[0128] Optionally, the beam forming module may further include an amplitude modulation device and a beam reflecting element.
[0129] The amplitude modulator and the radiation vibrator array unit are located on the same side of the rotating device 41, and the radiation vibrator array unit is located between the amplitude modulator and the rotating device 41. The amplitude modulator is placed in parallel with the radiation vibrator array unit and the phase modulator, and is used to modulate the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave, that is, to determine whether the electromagnetic wave passes through a certain area of the layer structure and to control the strength of the electromagnetic wave passing through. The amplitude modulator is controlled by the antenna controller 42, and the amplitude modulator can also be divided into multiple independent units, each of which is independently controlled by its own circuit, and cooperates with the radiation vibrator array unit to adjust the intensity of the electromagnetic wave in real time. The amplitude modulator can be located between the phase modulator and the radiation vibrator array unit, and the phase modulator can be located between the amplitude modulator and the radiation vibrator array unit.
[0130] The electromagnetic waves modulated by the phase modulation element can be emitted in any number of directions. The number of emission directions and the size of the coverage area in each direction are determined by the controller 42, and the number of emission directions and the size of the coverage area in each direction can be changed according to the change of user information. The beam intensity of the electromagnetic wave in each direction is jointly determined by the amplitude modulation element and the radiation vibrator array, and also changes according to the change of user information.
[0131] The beam reflection element can be located on the same side of the rotating device 41 as the radiation vibrator array unit, or on a different side of the rotating device 41. The beam reflection element is placed parallel to the radiation vibrator array unit and is used to reflect the electromagnetic waves emitted from the radiation vibrator toward the beam emission direction. The beam reflection element can be any object with a structure on its surface that can reflect electromagnetic waves. The beam reflection element can be a single-layer or multi-layer independent structure in the indoor antenna, or it can be combined with the radiation vibrator array unit to form a composite element. The beam reflection element can be located between the rotating device 41 and the radiation vibrator array unit, and the rotating device 41 can also be located between the beam reflection element and the radiation vibrator array unit.
[0132] For example, the rotating device 41 of the antenna can receive instructions from the controller 42 to adjust the angle of the antenna, such as adjusting the downtilt angle and azimuth angle of the antenna, so as to achieve the main distribution area covered by the beam determined by the electromagnetic waves emitted by the radiating vibrator array unit, forming the first adjustment of the antenna. It can be understood that this adjustment is a coarse adjustment of the antenna. At the same time, when the electromagnetic wave passes through the amplitude modulation element of the antenna, the amplitude modulation element will actively adjust the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave. When the electromagnetic wave passes through the phase modulation device of the antenna, the phase modulation element will adjust the phase of the electronic wave to achieve beamforming, thereby forming a secondary adjustment of the antenna for the user, so as to ultimately achieve the optimal configuration of the signal and achieve the best user experience. It can be understood that the secondary adjustment is a fine adjustment of the antenna.
[0133] In an embodiment of the present invention, the beam reflection element, the radiation oscillator array unit, the amplitude modulation element and the phase modulation element need to be matched and aligned to a certain extent to improve the accuracy of adjusting the antenna. These four can be components that work individually, or they can be combined with each other to form a composite control device with integrated functions, which are jointly controlled by the control system and globally optimized and calculated by the controller 42. Since the radiation oscillator array unit is only used to adjust the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave without changing the phase, the amplitude modulation element is only used to adjust the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave without changing the phase, and the phase modulation element can only be used to adjust the phase of the electromagnetic wave without changing the amplitude, therefore, the three elements can adjust the characteristics of the electromagnetic wave (including amplitude and phase) respectively, realize the parameter decoupling of amplitude and phase, reduce the design difficulty of the antenna, and make it easy to adjust.
[0134] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of two rotating devices provided by embodiments of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the rotating device 41 on the antenna can be a sidewall-type three-dimensional rotating device 41 or a suspended three-dimensional rotating device 41. Figure 5 The sidewall type three-dimensional rotating device 41 shown in the left figure is composed of two mutually perpendicular axes, each of which can rotate 360 degrees, and the radiating vibrator array unit can be fixed on one of the arms. Among them, one axis can adjust the azimuth angle, and the other axis can adjust the downtilt angle. The antenna using the sidewall type three-dimensional rotating device 41 can be installed in signal towers, drip irrigation, holding poles, etc. Figure 5 The right picture in the figure is a suspended three-dimensional rotating device 41, which is also composed of two perpendicular axes, one axis is used to adjust the azimuth angle, and the other axis is used to adjust the downward tilt angle. The difference is that the two axes are connected by a U-shaped arm, and it can be suspended in the ceiling of the scene inside the building.
[0135] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of another antenna provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6As shown, the radiating vibrator array unit in the antenna releases electromagnetic waves, part of which is reflected to the amplitude modulation element by the beam reflection element, and part of which is directly incident on the amplitude modulation element. The amplitude modulation element performs local amplitude modulation on the electromagnetic waves passing through, that is, determines whether the electromagnetic waves pass through a certain area of the layer structure and controls the intensity of the electromagnetic waves passing through a certain area of the structure. The electromagnetic waves after amplitude modulation are then emitted to the phase modulation device, and the phase of the electromagnetic waves is changed through the wavefront conversion function of the phase modulation device, that is, the emission angle is changed.
[0136] Furthermore, the beam transmission information includes one or more of the following: local switching of the information source, strength of the information source, amplitude of the radiated electromagnetic wave, and phase of the radiated electromagnetic wave.
[0137] Furthermore, the antenna further comprises: a displacement device;
[0138] The displacement device is used to translate the antenna;
[0139] The controller 42 is further configured to determine target displacement information of the antenna; and control the displacement device on the antenna to translate the antenna according to the target displacement.
[0140] Since the rotating device 41 of the antenna is generally not large and will not increase the volume of the antenna, the antenna can be kept in a smaller size and lighter weight, making it easier to install and adjust. The antenna can be deployed in different scenarios, reducing the difficulty of deploying the antenna indoors and improving the versatility of the antenna.
[0141] In addition, although the existing antennas that can be deployed indoors can meet the characteristics of small size and light weight, they generally do not have the ability of beamforming. However, the antenna provided in the embodiment of the present invention is also equipped with a phase modulation element, so that the antenna not only meets the characteristics of small size and light weight, but also has the ability of beamforming, thereby further improving the performance of the antenna deployed indoors.
[0142] In the embodiment of the present invention, the antenna has the advantages of high spatial resolution, high phase resolution, few moving parts, low driving voltage, high integration, low cost, etc., which can make the antenna develop in the direction of high integration and miniaturization. The antenna is thin and light in size and compact in structure; at the same time, the production process of each component is mature, large-scale batch production can be achieved, product consistency is easy to ensure, which is conducive to industrial large-scale production and the price is controllable.
[0143] During the antenna adjustment process, the main distribution area of users served by the antenna can be determined based on the antenna position and the user position of the user, which facilitates the subsequent accurate determination of the area mainly served by the antenna. Based on the antenna position and the center position of the main distribution area, the target angle information of the antenna can be determined. Based on the target angle information, the angle of the antenna can be automatically and accurately adjusted, ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the antenna, avoiding the error caused by the operator adjusting the antenna angle, and reducing the difficulty of signal optimization.
