Background technology
Corresponding with conduction test, OTA-Over The Air (airborne performance test) is that a kind of space three-dimensional to the radiation of equipment performance is measured, and its purpose is exactly the influence to radiation and receptivity of concatenation ability and the terminal user of checking wireless device and network.Wherein, be measurement travelling carriage three dimensions RF radiation power, the spherical effective isotropic radiated power of specifying measurement travelling carriage, the abbreviation total radiant power (Total Radiated Power, TRP).
Standard (YD/T1484-2006; CTIA:Test Plan for Mobile Station OTA Performance Revision_2_2_2_Final 121808) comprises dual mode in the OTA TRP testing scheme that provides, i.e. circular cone cutting method (distribution axle system) and great circle cutting method (built-up shaft system).As far as great circle cutting method scheme, the EUT navigation system of its relative complex can be accomplished the function around Phi axle and the rotation of Theta axle with EUT, therefore only needs to adopt single antenna just can accomplish the test of TRP; As far as circular cone cutting method scheme; Its simple relatively EUT navigation system only can be accomplished the function around the rotation of Phi axle with EUT; Therefore need on the Theta direction, to arrange in addition that rotatable reception antenna (single antenna scheme) measures successively, arrange that perhaps a plurality of test antennas form arrays (many antenna scheme) and measure simultaneously.
Above-mentioned which kind of mode no matter, they all need be measured in an approximate unreflected fully anechoic chamber, brought such as absorbing material selection, layout thus, laid a series of problems such as fixing and maintaining.In addition, for realizing the radiant power measurement on the three-dimensional sphere, existing metering system all needs the mechanical turntable of a precision, also can bring the problem such as aspects such as position error, machining accuracies thus.At last,, all can cause extra funds to increase no matter be fully anechoic chamber or precision optical machinery turntable, thus indirect raising testing expense.
Multimode cavity is as the concrete application of waveguide resonant theory in the microwave technical field; Its essence is that is crossed a mode resonant cavity; Promptly through in the metallic cavity of high conductivity, exciting abundant eigenmodes, set up a kind of space evenly, the electromagnetic environment (statistics uniform field) of isotropism, random polarization.Based on the above-mentioned characteristic of crossing mode resonant cavity, we can utilize it to carry out radiation immunity test, radiation emission test, screening effectiveness test and antenna efficiency test or the like.Compare with traditional test site, cross mode resonant cavity cost, Measuring Time, effectively analog composite field etc. many aspect advantage outstanding.For example: cover absorbing material in need not in the mode resonant cavity excessively, the Q value of cavity resonance is very high, therefore can use less relatively power, obtains bigger field intensity and higher dynamic range.
For the cuboid resonant cavity that a length is respectively a, b, c, it can be counted as the rectangular waveguide of two terminal shortcircuits.Utilize the correlation theory of electromagnetic wave propagation in the waveguide, each eigenmodes (resonance) frequency that can calculate in this resonant cavity is following:
Wherein, the unit of parameter a, b, c is a rice, and m, n, p are natural number.The concrete value of every group of m, n, p all corresponding a concrete intrinsic (resonance) pattern, the electromagnetic field under every kind of pattern distributes and all confirms and have nothing in common with each other.In addition, because m, n, p must get natural number, so above-mentioned eigenmodes frequency is discontinuous, promptly eigenmodes (resonance) frequency of electromagnetic field can only be got a series of specific, discontinuous numerical value in the resonant cavity.
As far as common single mode resonant cavity, we make and have only unique a kind of pattern existence in the resonant cavity that at this moment, its field distribution is confirmed through the frequency of control driving source; If but brought up to the intensive interval of pattern to the operating frequency band, then not only there is a kind of pattern in the resonant cavity this moment, i.e. multimode cavity.When the mode of operation quantity in the multimode cavity was abundant, resonant cavity will be in a kind of state of crossing mould resonance, and its inner field distribution is the stack that a lot of mode fields distribute; If can effectively change the composition situation of many patterns of participating in additive process through certain mode, field distribution also marked change will occur so.Form, constantly change the field distribution in the cavity through continuous adjustment modes, finally can in cavity, form the space evenly, the electromagnetic environment of isotropism, random polarization, promptly add up uniform field.
Utilized mode resonant cavity to cross the work characteristics and the uniform field distribution of statistics of mould resonance, we select to detect the measurement result of a point, reflect whole field distribution situation through its statistics.The method of utilizing mode resonant cavity to measure the wireless terminal total radiant power just stems from this.
As stated, the key of utilizing mode resonant cavity to measure this new method of wireless terminal total radiant power is exactly to find a kind of simple and effective way significantly to change the composition situation of many patterns of participating in additive process.Most common form is exactly in the metal of high Q value is crossed the mode resonant cavity body, to place and rotoflector at present.In addition, realized through the position that changes the source that mode resonant cavity also was fine, yet do not provide a kind of system of how in crossing mode resonant cavity, measuring the isotropically radiated power of mobile phone in the existing technology.
