Background technology
Corresponding with conduction test, OTA-Over The Air (airborne performance test) is that a kind of space three-dimensional to radiation of equipment performance is measured, and its object is exactly concatenation ability and the impact of terminal user on radiation and receptivity of checking wireless device and network.Wherein, for weighing travelling carriage three dimensions RF radiation power, the spherical effective isotropic radiated power of specifying measurement travelling carriage, is called for short 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) in the OTA TRP testing scheme providing, comprise two kinds of modes, i.e. circular cone cutting method (distribution axle system) and great circle cutting method (built-up shaft system).For great circle cutting method scheme, the EUT navigation system of its relative complex can complete the function around Phi axle and the rotation of Theta axle by EUT, therefore only need to adopt single antenna just can complete the test of TRP; For circular cone cutting method scheme, it only can complete the function that EUT is rotated around Phi axle relative to simple EUT navigation system, therefore need in Theta direction, arrange in addition that rotatable reception antenna (single antenna scheme) measures successively, or arrange that a plurality of test antennas form arrays (many antenna scheme) and measure simultaneously.
Above-mentioned which kind of mode no matter, they all need to measure in an approximate unreflected fully anechoic chamber, brought thus such as absorbing material selection, layout, laid a series of problems such as fixing and maintaining.In addition, for realizing the radiant power measurement on three-dimensional sphere, existing metering system all needs an accurate mechanical turntable, also can bring thus the problem of aspects such as position error, machining accuracy.Finally, no matter be fully anechoic chamber or precision optical machinery turntable, all can cause extra funds to increase, thereby indirectly improve testing expense.
Multimode cavity is as the concrete application of waveguide resonant theory in microwave technical field, its essence is that is crossed a mode resonant cavity, by excite abundant eigenmodes in the metallic cavity of high conductivity, set up the electromagnetic environment (statistics uniform field) of a kind of space uniform, isotropism, random polarization.Above-mentioned feature based on crossing mode resonant cavity, we can utilize it to carry out radiated immunity test, radiation emission test, screening effectiveness test and antenna efficiency test etc.Compare with traditional test site, aspect mistake mode resonant cavity is many in cost, Measuring Time, effective analog composite field etc., advantage is outstanding.For example: in mistake mode resonant cavity, without the interior absorbing material that covers, the Q value of cavity resonance is very high, therefore can use relatively little power, obtains larger field intensity and higher dynamic range.
For the cuboid resonant cavity that is respectively a, b, c for a length, it can be counted as the rectangular waveguide of two terminal shortcircuits.Utilize the correlation theory of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in waveguide, each eigenmodes (resonance) frequency that can calculate in this resonant cavity is as follows:
Wherein, the unit of parameter a, b, c is rice, and m, n, p are natural number.The concrete value of every group of m, n, p is corresponding a concrete intrinsic (resonance) pattern all, and it is all to determine and different that the electromagnetic field under every kind of pattern distributes.In addition, because m, n, p must get natural number, so above-mentioned eigenmodes frequency is discontinuous, in resonant cavity, eigenmodes (resonance) frequency of electromagnetic field can only be got a series of specific, discontinuous numerical value.
For common Single-mode Resonator, we make to only have unique a kind of pattern to exist in resonant cavity by controlling the frequency of driving source, and now, its field distribution is determined; If but operating frequency band were brought up to the intensive interval of pattern, now in resonant cavity, not only there is a kind of pattern, i.e. multimode cavity.When mode of operation quantity in multimode cavity is 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 by certain mode all multimodal composition situation that participates in additive process, also will there is marked change in field distribution so.By continuous adjustment modes, form, constantly change the field distribution in cavity, finally can in cavity, form the electromagnetic environment of space uniform, isotropism, random polarization, add up uniform field.
Utilized mode resonant cavity to cross work characteristics and the uniform field distribution of statistics of mould resonance, we select to detect the measurement result of a point, by its statistics, reflect whole field distribution situation.The method of utilizing mode resonant cavity to measure wireless terminal total radiant power just stems from this.
As mentioned above, 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 all multimodal composition situation that participates in additive process.The most frequently used mode is exactly to place and rotoflector in the metal of high Q value is crossed mode resonant cavity body at present.In addition, by the position in change source, realized mode resonant cavity and be also fine, yet in existing technology, do not provide a kind of system of the isotropically radiated power of mobile phone of how measuring in crossing mode resonant cavity.
