Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wireless communication testing, and in particular to a device and method for testing the MIMO OTA performance of an intelligent connected vehicle. BACKGROUND
[0002] This section is intended to provide background or context to the embodiments of the application recited in the claims. The description herein does not constitute admission that the prior art is prior art nor does it constitute an admission of any description in this section as prior art to an application described herein and / or in this section.
[0003] With the advent of autonomous vehicles and intelligent connected vehicles and the increasing popularity of in-vehicle infotainment devices, more and more vehicles begin to use wireless technology to achieve vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) and vehicle-to-network (V2N) connections. Under this technical trend, modern vehicles are increasingly like a wireless technology center integrating a series of in-vehicle wireless communication technologies and various transmission systems, and the demand for reliable communication links becomes urgent. Therefore, how to ensure the absolute reliability of wireless connection before the vehicle is put on the market is a crucial problem.
[0004] After the wireless communication antenna and module are installed on the vehicle, their performance is affected by the installation of the vehicle body and the actual use environment of the whole vehicle. The performance test results of the single-body antenna and module before installation cannot truly reflect the differences in the wireless communication performance of the whole vehicle after installation. Therefore, testing the wireless communication performance of the vehicle under the actual working environment of the whole vehicle to ensure that it meets the performance requirements of various performance indicators under the real use environment is an indispensable link in the future testing of the wireless communication performance of the whole vehicle.
[0005] For the measurement of the MIMO OTA performance of the whole vehicle, the existing scheme is to park the vehicle to be tested at the center of a turntable in a full-wave anechoic chamber, to construct different wireless communication channel environments in the test area through a two-dimensional antenna probe ring distributed horizontally, and to measure the MIMO OTA performance of the whole vehicle at the actual working frequency of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication system. In order to ensure the construction accuracy of the channel environment in the test area, the test distance needs to meet the equivalent far-field condition of the whole vehicle, that is, the radius of the horizontal probe ring must be greater than the equivalent far-field distance of the whole vehicle. This scheme has high test accuracy and test consistency for the measurement of the MIMO OTA performance of the whole vehicle. However, this test method has at least the following disadvantages:
[0006] 1. At the typical working frequency of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication system (below 6 GHz), the equivalent far-field distance of the whole vehicle is large, generally more than 10 meters, which will result in a large anechoic chamber size and system construction cost;
[0007] 2. For vehicle-level testing, the parking and placement of the vehicle under test requires a special lifting platform and slide rails, making the system structure complex.
[0008] 3. For whole-vehicle level testing, the process of parking and arranging the vehicle under test is complicated and the testing efficiency is low.
[0009] 4. The fixed horizontal probe ring can only generate a limited number of channel scenarios, which greatly limits the test system's ability to simulate the real wireless channel environment experienced by the vehicle under test, thus limiting the system's scope of use and flexibility.
[0010] 5. It can only perform whole-vehicle MIMO OTA performance measurement, and cannot simultaneously measure whole-vehicle SISO OTA performance and vehicle millimeter-wave radar performance, so the system has limited functionality.
[0011] In existing technologies, another testing method has been proposed, primarily employing a traditional conduction-based detection approach. This method measures MIMO OTA performance at the antenna port of the vehicle under test (VUTC): a calibrated and standardized wireless communication signal is modulated by a channel simulator and injected into the VUTC antenna port. By setting the channel parameters of the channel simulator, different channel models are generated to evaluate the VUTC's MIMO OTA performance. This method is simple, easy to implement, and offers good test consistency, eliminating the need for complex testing equipment such as microwave anechoic chambers or vehicle turntables. However, this testing method has at least the following drawbacks:
[0012] 1. The vehicle under test must have an independent antenna port for applying test signals and measuring MIMO OTA performance;
[0013] 2. The impact of the vehicle's antenna on system performance and the blocking effect of the vehicle on wireless signals were not considered.
[0014] 3. The conduction-based measurement method cannot simulate the impact of the signal angle of arrival on the MIMO OTA performance of the whole vehicle, and cannot truly measure the MIMO OTA performance of the intelligent connected vehicle under test in a typical wireless communication channel environment.
[0015] In summary, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and improve the performance testing of MIMO OTA for intelligent connected vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0038] According to the embodiments of the present application, an intelligent connected vehicle whole vehicle MIMO OTA performance testing device and method are proposed, relating to the technical field of wireless communication testing.
[0039] The principles and spirits of the present application will be described below with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are given only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the present application, and in no way limit the scope of the present application. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0040] Figure 1 is the schematic diagram of the intelligent connected vehicle whole vehicle MIMO OTA performance testing device of an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 , the device comprises:
[0041] The full-wave anechoic chamber 110, a plurality of sets of millimeter wave spherical antenna arrays 120, antenna sliding rails 130, single-probe millimeter wave measurement antennas 140 and a test turntable 150 located in the full-wave anechoic chamber 110;
[0042] The full-wave anechoic chamber 110 is used to eliminate the reflection of wireless signals and construct a free space reflection-free test environment;
[0043] The plurality of sets of millimeter wave spherical antenna arrays 120 are horizontally distributed; each set of millimeter wave spherical antenna arrays 120 comprises a plurality of millimeter wave dual-polarization measurement antennas 160; the millimeter wave spherical antenna arrays 120 are used to generate wireless channel environments of different application scenarios in the test area, and perform MIMO OTA performance measurement on the equivalent scaled-down model 170 of the vehicle to be tested in the equivalent millimeter wave test frequency band;
[0044] The antenna sliding rails 130 are used to carry the millimeter wave spherical antenna arrays 120, and adjust the positions of the millimeter wave spherical antenna arrays 120 according to the requirements of the channel model to be tested during testing;
[0045] The single-probe millimeter wave measurement antenna 140 is installed on the top of the full-wave darkroom 110, is normally directed to the equivalent scaled model 170 of the vehicle to be tested on the test turntable 150, and performs SISO OTA performance measurement on the equivalent scaled model 170 of the vehicle to be tested in an equivalent millimeter wave test frequency band;
[0046] The test turntable 150 is used to carry and drive the equivalent scaled model 170 of the vehicle to be tested to rotate during the test, so as to realize whole-vehicle MIMO / SISO OTA performance measurement of the vehicle to be tested in different postures.
[0047] In an embodiment, the test turntable 150 is a multi-axis turntable, and the number of axes can be at least 3, so as to at least realize rotation of an azimuth plane and a pitch plane, lifting of a height, and accurate adjustment of a horizontal installation position.
[0048] The test turntable 150 at least includes a combined-axis state and a distributed-axis state; for example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The test turntable 150 in the combined-axis state is in the distributed-axis state, Figure 2 The test turntable 150 in the distributed-axis state is in the combined-axis state.
[0049] According to the rotation requirement of the equivalent scaled model 170 of the vehicle to be tested under different test scenes, the state of the test turntable 150 is adjusted;
[0050] When SISO OTA test is performed, the test turntable 150 is switched to the combined-axis state, so as to drive the equivalent scaled model 170 of the vehicle to be tested to rotate in three dimensions (theta: 0-180°, phi: 0-360°);
[0051] When MIMO OTA test is performed, the test turntable 150 is switched to the distributed-axis state, so as to drive the equivalent scaled model 170 of the vehicle to be tested to rotate in two dimensions (phi: 0-360°) in a horizontal plane.
[0052] In an embodiment, when SISO OTA performance measurement is performed, passive antenna pattern test and active radiation power and receiving sensitivity characteristic test are realized in a single-probe far-field test manner, and passive pattern characteristic test is realized in a single-probe spherical near-field manner.
[0053] In an embodiment, the sphere center of the millimeter wave spherical antenna array 120 coincides with the origin 180 of the test device coordinate system, the azimuth plane (horizontal plane) spherical angle is 10° / 15°, and the pitch plane (vertical plane) spherical angle is 60° (the pitch plane is centered on the horizontal plane (90°), ±30°).
[0054] The origin 180 of the test device coordinate system is the center point of the test turntable 150. The test system coordinate system is established with the center point of the test turntable 150 as the origin of the test device coordinate system, the plane parallel to the ground as the XY plane, and the axis perpendicular to the XY plane and pointing upwards towards the ground as the positive Z-axis.
[0055] The number of millimeter-wave spherical antenna arrays 120 ranges from 8 to 24.
[0056] In practical applications, the azimuth angle of the millimeter-wave spherical antenna array 120 is usually determined based on the number of arrays. Specifically, if the number is 8 to 12, an azimuth angle of 10° or 15° can be selected; if the number is greater than 12 (maximum 24), an azimuth angle of 10° is generally selected.
[0057] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the millimeter-wave spherical antenna array 120 is composed of multiple millimeter-wave dual-polarized measurement antennas 160 evenly distributed in 5° steps; that is, the elevation spherical angle of the millimeter-wave spherical antenna array 120 is 60°, and 13 millimeter-wave dual-polarized measurement antennas are evenly distributed in 5° steps on each column.
[0058] During testing, (e.g.) Figure 1 The radius of the millimeter-wave spherical antenna array 120 (as shown) and the distance from the single-probe millimeter-wave measurement antenna 140 to the origin 180 of the test device coordinate system shall not be less than 4m.
[0059] In one embodiment, the test turntable 150 is also used to carry the vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave radar under test;
[0060] The millimeter-wave spherical antenna array 120 can also be modularly assembled into multiple spherical antenna walls by combining multiple millimeter-wave spherical antenna arrays 120; the spherical antenna wall can be considered as a spherical antenna array with a large azimuth angle.
[0061] The spherical antenna wall is used to perform performance testing on the vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave radar under test at actual operating frequencies (76-81GHz). This invention can accommodate multiple performance tests, has diverse functions, strong versatility, and can improve testing efficiency.
[0062] refer to Figure 4As shown, an exemplary diagram illustrates the relationship of eight millimeter-wave spherical antenna arrays from a top-down perspective. The azimuth angle of the millimeter-wave spherical antenna array 120 is 15°, and the antenna rail 130 is a circular track laid on the ground, the center of which coincides with the projection of the origin 180 of the test device coordinate system onto the ground. The position of the millimeter-wave spherical antenna array 120 on the horizontal plane can be dynamically adjusted on the antenna rail 130 according to the characteristics of the channel model under test. In one embodiment, the equivalent scaled-down model 170 of the vehicle under test is obtained by proportionally reducing the size of the vehicle under test and the vehicle-mounted antenna.
[0063] The equivalent millimeter-wave test frequency band corresponds to the size of the equivalent scaled-down model of the vehicle under test, obtained using the following relationship:
[0064]
[0065] Among them, f M For the equivalent millimeter-wave test frequency band; S M f represents the dimensions of the equivalent scaled-down model of the vehicle under test; F S is the operating frequency of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication module of the vehicle under test; F The actual dimensions of the vehicle to be tested;
[0066] The equivalent millimeter-wave test frequency is no less than 20 GHz and no more than 85 GHz.
[0067] For example, for a vehicle under test with a length of 5m and its onboard wireless communication module operating in the 1GHz band, when the equivalent test frequency is set to 25GHz, the size of the equivalent scaled-down model of the entire vehicle will be reduced to 0.2m. Measurements are then performed on the 0.2m scaled-down model of the vehicle under test at the 25GHz equivalent test frequency, and the wireless communication performance indicators (1GHz) of the actual vehicle under test (5m in length) are calculated. This method significantly reduces the requirements for the size and construction cost of the anechoic chamber.
