In mobile communications network, the signal that the base station sends by the smart antenna receiving terminal.Wireless channel is generally variable at random unstable channel, and the distance of being separated by usually between terminal and the base station is far away, and has various barriers between the two.Preferably, the signal that has the terminal in direct projection path in the selection base station section receives, and the signal of receiving usually can be eager to excel than the signal of the terminal that does not have the direct projection path.As shown in Figure 2, be smart antenna illustraton of model in an embodiment of the present invention, preferred incoming signal be relative antenna surface azimuth with antenna surface normal angle α less than 30 signals of spending, having the terminal in direct projection path, shown in RP among the figure (Reference Point, reference point).
S200: the excipient weights of computational intelligence antenna, and the argument of calculating excipient weights.
The calculated signals excipient weights W that receive according to every antenna of smart antenna the base station, and the argument vector C of calculating excipient weights W.
According to the smart antenna principle, for even linear array, when terminal when smart antenna is far away, terminal transmits and arrives antenna and can think uniform plane wave.At this moment, only there is the difference of phase place in the signal on each reception antenna, and does not have the difference of amplitude.And, after the signal incident angle is determined, having fixed relationship between the argument of received signal on each antenna, it can calculate by path length difference and the electromagnetic wave propagation speed that signal arrives each antenna.Obviously for even linear array, the path length difference that signal arrives each antenna is an arithmetic progression, if there is antenna sequence number inverted sequence, then must not satisfy arithmetic progression.Therefore, by this relation, promptly whether decidable exists the problem of antenna line preface inverted sequence.The excipient weights W of smart antenna is made up of the excipient weights of every antenna, and the excipient weights of every antenna comprise amplitude and argument, and the argument vector of the excipient weights W correspondence of smart antenna is C.The argument c that comprises each root antenna among the argument vector C, so, if the argument c of each the root antenna that comprises satisfies arithmetic progression, then there is not the phenomenon of antenna line preface inverted sequence in the argument vector C of excipient weights W.
The base station can be tried to achieve the excipient weights W of smart antenna by multiple algorithm, for example, the signal that receive according to every antenna of described smart antenna the base station carries out channel estimating, utilize EBB algorithm computation shape-endowing weight value W according to channel estimation results, thereby further calculate the argument vector C of excipient weights W, comprise the argument c of each root antenna among the argument vector C.

Distance between every antenna of smart antenna equals the wavelength of 0.5 times received signal, successively two adjacent antennas are carried out the differential analysis of argument c, if the argument c's of an antenna greater than 180 degree behind last antenna ratio, then a back antenna argument c is added 360 degree at every turn, be more or less the same till 180 degree up to both arguments; If the argument c of an antenna is less than-180 degree behind last antenna ratio, then a back antenna argument c is deducted 360 degree at every turn, be more or less the same till 180 degree up to both arguments.
For example, for the smart antenna of TD-SCDMA system, adopt following method to judge:
Every antenna carries out following cycle criterion;
for?ka=1∶7
If big 180 degree of the argument of an antenna behind the ratio of last antenna;
If?c(ka)-c(ka+1)>180
Big 180 degree of the argument of an antenna behind the ratio of last antenna;
While?c(ka)-c(ka+1)>180
The argument of the antenna in back adds 360 degree;
c(ka+1)=c(ka+1)+360
End
If the argument of an antenna is less than-180 degree behind the ratio of last antenna;
else?if?c(ka)-c(ka+1)<=-180
The argument of an antenna is less than-180 degree behind the ratio of last antenna;
While?c(ka)-c(ka+1)<=-180
The argument of the antenna in back deducts 360 degree;
c(ka+1)=c(ka+1)-360
end
end
