Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of antenna patterns, and more particularly, to a method, system, terminal and medium for generating an antenna pattern based on finite features. Background Art

[0002] Predicting inter-antenna compatibility is a crucial component of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) analysis and assessment. System-level and regional-level EMC simulations typically prioritize antenna impacts, such as inter-antenna isolation and the electromagnetic environmental effects caused by antenna radiation. Therefore, antenna-related information, such as operating frequency, transmit power, gain, radiation pattern, and polarization, is essential. This information, with the exception of the radiation pattern, is relatively readily available. The antenna pattern is one of the most crucial parameters in the compatibility analysis. However, obtaining accurate antenna models or pattern data from antenna manufacturers during EMC analysis often requires limited information, often limited to characteristic features such as gain, 3dB beamwidth, polarization, and operating frequency. This data is often difficult to accurately translate directly into full-wave electromagnetic simulation software such as FEKO and HFSS.

[0003] Existing radiation pattern generation technology: On the one hand, there are methods to obtain antenna radiation patterns by designing equivalent physical antennas; there are also methods to build approximate radiation pattern mathematical models based on the characteristics of existing parameters, so that antenna radiation pattern data at any angle can be calculated, but only the antenna gain and 3dB beam width are considered; although the above two methods can approximately simulate the shape of the antenna radiation pattern, they cannot accurately reflect important information in the radiation pattern, such as polarization mode and axial ratio, resulting in the following deficiencies: (1) The existing technology fits less antenna radiation pattern feature data, so that the obtained antenna radiation pattern is quite different from the real one; (2) The existing technology hardly considers the polarization characteristics and axial ratio characteristics of the real antenna. In the simulation application process, the influence of polarization mismatch is lacking, making the simulation results not close enough to the real situation; (3) The existing technology, especially the mathematical simulation technology, does not consider the decomposition of different components of the antenna radiation pattern in different coordinate systems, such as the θ component and Components make it difficult to apply in full-wave electromagnetic simulation software. On the other hand, some antenna pattern generation methods are laboratory testing, that is, using physical antennas to perform pattern testing in professional antenna testing laboratories. However, this method also has the following shortcomings: (1) Testing requires physical antennas, which may be difficult to obtain in most cases; especially in the demand analysis stage of many projects, there may be no physical antennas at all; (2) Testing requires professional laboratories, with long test cycles and high test costs; (3) Testing requires obtaining amplitude and phase information at the same time, which makes the test complex.

[0004] Therefore, how to research and design an antenna pattern generation method, system, terminal and medium based on finite features that can overcome the above-mentioned defects is a problem that we urgently need to solve. Summary of the Invention
