Technical field
The present invention relates in a kind of communication field to detect whether normal method and apparatus of antenna-feedback system connection status, relate in particular to a kind of antenna output end mouth manifesting the detection method of the antenna-feedback system of direct-current short circuit state antenna with its metal shell at the transceiver output port.
Background technology
Antenna and corresponding feeder system are in the wireless communication system of various communication systems, vitals is absolutely necessary, the antenna feeder subsystem is as the important interface part in the wireless telecommunication system, the reliability of its work has decisive influence for system's operate as normal, very high for the antenna height that can cover communication distance antenna far away in some communication system, cause very big difficulty for the manual detection and the fault judgement of antenna feeder operating state, antenna is as the important input/output interface circuit of wireless telecommunication system simultaneously, and the real-time that the antenna operating state detects is also more and more important.
Usually detect the output voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of this port at present in the utilization of transceiver subsystem antenna connector, perhaps the mode of the echo power by detecting this terminal port antennae detects the operating state of antenna, when the VSWR of antenna opening is excessive greater than setting range or echo power, then show corresponding failures of antenna feed system, also have the part system to adopt many antennas Intelligent Measurement technology, by the field intensity of received signal in a plurality of antennas in the middle of the system is judged,, a certain long-term received signal of antenna judge this antenna failure if being lower than other antenna.
For adopting standing wave method to detect the method for antenna feeder, its principle is by extracting forward and the backward power of transceiver subsystem at antennal interface respectively, and become corresponding direct current detection voltage back to obtain the standing-wave ratio of this port this power transfer by the radio-frequency power switching device, VSWR for fear of antenna-feedback system will be subjected to surrounding environment such as temperature, trees, building blocks, sleet, the influence of feeder cable length etc., simultaneously also for the influence of the inner forward and reverse two-way power extraction circuit precision of transceiver subsystem and the influence of forward and reverse radio-frequency power wave detector precision are reduced to minimum degree, usually need to adopt the directional devices of high directivity to extract backward power to the requirement of circuit design is comparatively strict, and forward and reverse power transfer that the high performance radio frequency wave detector of two-way will extract becomes corresponding direct current signal so that carry out corresponding comparison process, in circuit design, consider necessary temperature-compensating mode simultaneously, partial circuit carries out initial calibration in order further to improve accuracy of detection and overcome false alarm and fail to report the alert load that also needs to utilize specific standing-wave ratio to the VSWR state of communication system, the data of calibration are deposited into utilize software to align that backward power is extracted circuit and forward and reverse detector circuit output signal is proofreaied and correct in the systems soft ware, therefore also need to take certain systems soft ware resource.
Utilize the detection port antenna echo power mode can be subjected to surrounding environment such as temperature equally, trees, building blocks, sleet, the influence of feeder cable length etc., its principle with utilize VSWR basic identical, need also to consider that the transceiver inner counter is to the influence of circuit power extraction circuit precision and the influence of extracting the relevant radio-frequency power wave detector precision of circuit with backward power, usually also need to adopt the directional devices of high directivity to extract backward power, and oppositely adopting high performance radio frequency wave detector to convert the backward power of extracting to corresponding direct current signal to carry out corresponding comparison process in the detecting circuit, in circuit design, also to consider simultaneously necessary temperature-compensating mode, partial circuit overcomes false alarm for further improvement accuracy of detection and fails to report the police and still need carry out initial calibration at the backward power state that utilizes certain loads to communication system, the data of calibration are deposited into utilize software to proofread and correct in the systems soft ware, therefore also need to take certain systems soft ware resource extracting circuit by backward power.Whether the operating state that the VSWR by detecting antenna-feedback system and the method for echo power detect antenna-feedback system is normal, go for various forms of antennas, but there are circuit form complexity, the problem high to requirement on devices, in the part system, further improve system reliability in order to overcome possible false alarm, also need to adopt the method for software correction, therefore need take part systems soft ware resource, also have the high problem of cost simultaneously.
Adopt many antennas Intelligent Measurement technology, judge, judge this antenna failure if a certain long-term received signal of antenna is lower than other antenna by received signal field intensity to a plurality of antennas in the system.This method judges by systems soft ware whether antenna-feedback system is normal, hardware cost is lower but cause the low incoming level of certain antenna part time to need usually undesiredly just can send alarm signal when this antenna receiving signal continues for some time for fear of the decline of signal, and the real-time of warning is not high.
And present technique utilizes the part antenna output end to present the characteristic of short circuit for direct current, directly detect the operating state of antenna-feedback system by DC circuit, and whether do not need just can directly to detect antenna work in real time by VSWR and backward echo power signal normal.
Also do not retrieve at present the relevant patent that directly detects the antenna-feedback system operating state by DC circuit.

Specific embodiments
The present invention is made up of following 2 parts: antenna connection detection circuit 2, antenna detection comparison circuit 3.Antenna connection detection circuit major function is to extract antenna-feedback system antenna 1 joint detection signal, need be with the voltage signal that short-circuit condition be converted to the corresponding different numerical value of corresponding output of opening of antenna-feedback system 1, antenna 1 connection detection circuit is subtracted the harmful effect of antenna-feedback system cause minimum simultaneously.
Antenna detection comparison circuit 2 compares the comparison threshold that antenna 1 connects antenna joint detection signal that signal extracting circuit obtains and 3 settings of antenna detection comparison circuit, the detection signal level that obtains when antenna joint detection signal circuit 1 is higher than output high level when setting thresholding, sends alarm signal.
The DC circuit of utilizing provided by the invention is carried out the method that the antenna-feedback system operating state detects, and comprises the steps that flow chart as shown in Figure 1.
Step S101, the antenna feeder joint detection signal of line connection detection circuit 2 outputs, this signal are input to antenna and connect in the comparison circuit 3;
Step S102, this antenna connect comparison circuit 3 and have set the comparison threshold level;
Step S103, utilize this integrated comparator 31 to compare, the comparative level thresholding that antenna feeder joint detection signal and this comparator 31 are set compares, the antenna output end mouth is in open-circuit condition during same day feeder fault or loose contact, the antenna feeder detection signal of antenna connection detection circuit 2 outputs is higher than the comparison threshold that this comparator 31 is set, and these comparator 31 output high level alarm signals show antenna-feedback system work undesired (step S104).
When antenna feeder is in normal operating conditions, the antenna feeder detection signal of antenna connection detection circuit 2 outputs is lower than the comparison threshold that this comparator 31 is set, and these comparator circuit 31 output low levels show antenna-feedback system operating state normal (step S105).
In concrete enforcement, this antenna connection detection circuit 2 is by the R1 resistor 21 of the identical high value of 2 resistances, R2 resistor 22 and 1 C1 high-frequency filter capacitor 23 and corresponding power supply 24 compositions, this antenna detection comparison circuit 3 adopts integrated operational amplifier and corresponding peripheral components to constitute voltage comparator 31, the voltage comparison threshold is set at about 2/3rds of supply voltage, because the impedance phase of R1 resistor 21 is very high for the impedance of common 50 Ω of antenna-feedback system, therefore the excess power loss that brings owing to antenna connection detection circuit 2 can be ignored substantially.
When the antenna-feedback system operate as normal, because antenna output end mouth 11 is the direct-current short circuit state with antenna metal shell 12, this shell 12 is by the antenna interface circuit ground connection 32 of transceiver subsystem, therefore antennal interface is the direct current earth potential, the output voltage of antenna connection detection circuit 2 is that power supply obtains being 1/2nd of supply voltage by 2 electric resistance partial pressures, again through delivering to voltage comparator 31 positive terminal that constitute by integrated transporting discharging after capacitor C 1 filtering, because this voltage is lower than the setting thresholding of integrated transporting discharging by the comparator that constitutes, antenna detection comparison circuit output low level indication antenna-feedback system is working properly.
And when antenna 1 malunion when fracture appears in normal or antenna-feedback system; antenna output end mouth 11 can't form by the path of transceiver subsystem ground connection by its metal shell 12 again; antenna interface circuit is in the high-impedance state of suspension; the output voltage of antenna connection detection circuit 2 is because the antennal interface end that links to each other with R1 resistor 21 is a high resistant; therefore its output voltage is a supply voltage; this voltage has surpassed the threshold level of the voltage comparator 31 of integrated operational amplifier formation, so the 3 output high level indication antenna-feedback system work of antenna detection comparison circuit are undesired.
The circuit that is made of R1 resistor 21, R2 resistor 22, C1 filter capacitor 23 and integrated transporting discharging and peripheral circuit thereof just can be finished the function that the antenna feeder connection status detects like this.
In sum, antenna feeder connection status inspection method of the present invention and device have the advantages that formation is simple, realization is with low cost, the development technique risk is little, can partly replace the VSWR commonly used in the antenna-feedback system and method detection technique and many antennas Intelligent Measurement technology of echo power.
Foregoing only is an optimum implementation of the present invention, and it is not to be used for limiting the specific embodiment of the present invention, and all modification and changes of carrying out according to the main inventive concept of this method all should belong to the desired protection range of claims of the present invention.
