Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of digital phased array transceiver signal processing, and in particular to a method for parallel transceiver transmission of multi-path space division signals of a digital phased array. Background Art
[0002] The development of phased arrays has gone through three stages: analog passive phased arrays, analog active phased arrays, and digital phased arrays. Analog passive phased arrays use centralized power amplification, resulting in inflexible array pattern formation and poor system robustness. In analog active phased arrays, each antenna element is connected to an independent Transmitter / Reciprocating (T / R) assembly, employing distributed power amplification, making the system more robust. Analog active phased arrays utilize digitally controlled phase shifters and attenuators within the T / R assembly to directly control the amplitude and phase of the analog RF signal, thereby forming a specified transmit and receive array pattern. Because digitally controlled phase shifters and attenuators cannot simultaneously shift and attenuate multiple signals, analog active phased arrays cannot simultaneously receive multiple spatially separated signals from different directions or transmit multiple spatially separated signals in different directions. Furthermore, due to the limited phase shifting accuracy of the digitally controlled phase shifters and attenuation accuracy of the digitally controlled attenuators, the control accuracy of the transmit and receive patterns of analog active phased arrays is low.
