Embodiment
Understand and realization the present invention the existing embodiments of the invention of describing in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for the ease of persons skilled in the art.
The channel simulation system of the embodiment of the invention is made up of frequency conversion system module and decline analogue system module two big modules.As shown in Figure 1.
The frequency conversion system module mainly is made up of high-precision signal source, mixing and filtering module and control section as local oscillator.The frequency conversion system module functions is when the radiofrequency signal of input surpasses 3GHz, downconverts the signal to lower frequency range, after finishing the decline simulation, output signal is reduced to the rf frequency of input again.In embodiments of the present invention, our signal sets after down-conversion is 1GHz.
The operation principle of frequency conversion system module is, frequency by Control Software control local oscillation signal, WLAN signal outside the wireless channel simulation device TAS4500 operating frequency range frequency mixing module of making a gift to someone is carried out down-conversion (as shown in Figure 4), signal is changed within the scope that TAS4500 can handle, and then the signal after the frequency conversion is sent into TAS4500 handle (TAS4500 can be controlled by PC equally); Signal after TAS4500 handles is sent into the mixing and filtering module again and is carried out up-conversion and filtering (as shown in Figure 5), and the signal of RF OUTPUT port output just is in identical frequency range with the signal of RF INPUT port input so in the drawings.The concrete structure of mixing and filtering module as shown in Figure 2.
Decline analogue system module is made up of, in embodiments of the present invention wireless channel simulation module, Control Software, computer, GPIB control card, bus, and functions such as the wireless channel simulation module and being provided with of parameter that decline are finished by Control Software.Computer, GPIB control card, gpib bus are auxiliary equipment.
The structure of program is made up of two parts: interface (GUI)+dynamic link library (DLL).The function of graphic user interface is to accept input, passes to corresponding dynamic chained library file according to the information of importing, and relevant instrument is controlled, and a result who handles is shown as required.Use independently that the benefit of GUI and dynamic link library file is that whole system is decomposed into a plurality of independently modules, can carry out independent debugging, help the stability of system GUI and library file; Simultaneously, the dynamic link library file that debugging is passed through can be different process transfers, and need not to increase extra resource overhead, can significantly reduce taking of system resource.Simultaneously, can upgrade to the storehouse separately, as long as the interface statement does not change, application program does not need to change or recompilate the storehouse that just can use version updating.
Computer instructs by the IEEE-488.2SCPI that inner GPIB card sends standard, realizes the control to corresponding instrument.
The software configuration of system as shown in Figure 6, application graphical user interface (GUI) is positioned at the superiors, its function is the reciprocation of realization information; The correct configuration information of on the interface, importing, be delivered to the dynamic link library file of more following one deck after treatment by the interface between GUI and the DLL, dynamic link library file passes to the data that receive and control command 488.2 drivers of lower floor again, then corresponding SCPI instruction just can send to corresponding instrument with gpib bus between the instrument by computer, instrument is controlled and is provided with, also return necessary meter status information simultaneously.
Briefly bright to the various piece of GUI below:
Fig. 7 can be provided with carrier frequency, local oscillator pattern, local frequency, input reference level for the input control page, can also independently select every paths simultaneously.
Fig. 8 is provided with the page for time delay, and the value in relative time delay of each path can independently be set.
Fig. 9 is provided with the page for modulation system, and the parameters such as modulation type, Racian k factor, Doppler frequency displacement, LOS DOPP, speed, the angle of arrival, phase place and Rayleigh frequency displacement of each path can independently be set.
Figure 10 is provided with the page for relative loss factor, and the relative loss factor of every paths can independently be set.
Figure 11 is provided with the page for the Log-Normal parameter, and the parameters such as Log-Normal state, deviation and rates of every paths can be set.
Figure 12 can be provided with radio frequency output attenuatoin value for the output control setting page.
Figure 13 A is that template is provided with the page, can be written into JTC ' 94 indoor decline models, exponential damping Rayleigh fading model and HIPERLAN/2 decline model.The PATH number of the CHANNEL that these template models have has surpassed 6, for this situation, we use the method for Figure 13 B, and two CHANNEL of TAS4500 are simulated a CHANNEL altogether, maximum like this 12 PATH that can simulate a CHANNEL.
Figure 14 is provided with the page for reflection, in this page, can import the parameters such as coordinate values of the size numerical value in a room and transmitter, receiver, and carry out simulation calculation according to these numerical value, obtain the reflection angle of primary event and secondary reflection and the important parameters such as coordinate of pip, and then go out results such as loss, time delay and phase place by these calculation of parameter again.
By the control of above-mentioned menu, the tester can finish all parameter settings.
In order to verify whether the every function of channel simulation system of the present invention has reached re-set target.Plan from following two aspects to the checking that experimentizes of the function of channel simulation system of the present invention:
Whether the wireless channel simulation device is provided with correctly with each parameter setting values of WLAN decline masterplate in the standard masterplate comparison software; Channel simulator function in the software is verified.
At first, prepare a laboratory, ad-hoc location in laboratory is placed transmitting antenna and reception antenna, is used for analog transmissions and receiving equipment.Use the channel response after network analyzer is measured transmitting antenna arrival reception antenna, parameters such as decay and time delay.Measurement system diagram as shown in figure 15.Then, the size in input room in software, the position of antenna is accepted in emission, and parameters such as the position of barrier draw the channel simulator parameter that software is simulated, and compare with the measurement result of front.If both result who obtains meets preferably, verified that then the software simulation function has reached the set goal and index.
The verification msg of hardware index is as follows.
