The invention discloses a phased-array antenna beam forming test method in a
darkroom-free environment, and relates to the technical field of
satellite communication terminal complete
machine testing, comprising the steps of initializing test
system configuration, setting test parameters, initializing an antenna state, establishing a test environment, and connecting a test antenna with a
channel simulator; cross
coupling of non-corresponding channels is isolated and reduced through an
algorithm, a
signal transmission link between a test antenna and a tested antenna is established through a
wireless channel by adopting a virtual wire connection mode, non-
contact test is realized, beam forming test is performed, a
mobile station moves to a preset test area, impedance of the test antenna is adjusted by adopting an
electronic tuning mode, and the antenna is tested. The beam former realizes independent control of an uplink and a downlink, analyzes a test result and generates a report, does not need to depend on fixed test facilities such as a
microwave anechoic chamber and a calibration
tower, can directly test in an actual working scene, and is particularly suitable for field test of mobile equipment such as a large vehicle-mounted
phased array system.
