The invention discloses a multi-port
amplifier amplitude-
phase imbalance correction method, and belongs to the technical field of
satellite communication. According to the method, a
signal source is adopted to add a dot frequency
signal to a first input port, the power of each output port is measured, the last output port is taken as a benchmark, the actually measured isolation of the other output ports is calculated, the
minimum deviation between the theoretical isolation and the actually measured isolation is taken as a target, ergodic search is carried out on the amplitude-
phase imbalance value, and the amplitude-
phase imbalance value is obtained. The amplitude-phase imbalance value corresponding to the minimum absolute error value is the amplitude-phase imbalance amount actually needing to be corrected, and the
gain and the phase shift value of the high-power
amplifier are adjusted according to the amplitude and phase imbalance amount to carry out amplitude-
phase compensation. The method is higher in applicability and efficiency, is suitable for MPA subsystem-level and whole-
satellite-level tests, is not affected by whole-
satellite-level channel multi-level
frequency conversion, can obtain the amplitude-phase imbalance value only through simple power measurement and calculation, and greatly reduces the MPA amplitude-
phase correction efficiency.
