Because the first transmitting-receiving interface 1 may further include at least two first transmitting-receiving ports 11, and each first transmitting-receiving port 11 is corresponding with at least one pair of transmission channel and receive path among the transceiver A; The second transmitting-receiving interface 2 may further include at least two second transmitting-receiving ports 21, and each second transmitting-receiving port 21 is corresponding with an antenna among the antenna sets C with one first transmitting-receiving port 11 respectively.Therefore, under the enforcement scene of present embodiment, a coupler 34 can corresponding one first transmitting-receiving port 11 and one second transmitting-receiving port 21.For example: first radiofrequency signal that coupler 34a shown in Figure 2 can receive the first transmitting-receiving port 11a of correspondence is coupled to the second corresponding transmitting-receiving port 21a; So that first radiofrequency signal is sent to corresponding antenna C1 through the second transmitting-receiving port 21a; And first radiofrequency signal that coupler 34a can receive the second transmitting-receiving port 21a of correspondence is coupled to mixing device 32.Further; Each coupler 34 can also be coupled respectively to the two paths of signals at least that first power divider 33 obtains by power division the first corresponding transmitting-receiving port 11 of two-way receive path at least from second radiofrequency signal; For example: coupler 34a shown in Figure 2 can be coupled to the road signal that first power divider 33 obtains by power division the first corresponding transmitting-receiving port 11a from second radiofrequency signal; So that the first transmitting-receiving port 11a sends to corresponding receive path 1 with this road signal; Same; Coupler 34b can be coupled to the road signal that first power divider 33 obtains by power division the first corresponding transmitting-receiving port 11b from second radiofrequency signal; So that the first transmitting-receiving port 11b sends to corresponding receive path 2 with this road signal, thereby realize that two paths of signals sends to two-way receive path at least from the first transmitting-receiving port 11 that the two-way receive path is corresponding at least respectively at least.

Still comprise 2 pairs of transmission channels and receive path among the transceiver A with aforementioned hypothesis: transmission channel 1 and receive path 1, and transmission channel 2 and receive path 2; Antenna sets C comprises 2 antennas: antenna C1 and antenna C2 are that example describes.The first transmitting-receiving interface 1 shown in Figure 2 comprises two first transmitting-receiving ports 11, is respectively the first transmitting-receiving port 11a and the first transmitting-receiving port 11b; Comprising two second transmitting-receiving ports 21 in the second transmitting-receiving interface 2, is respectively the second transmitting-receiving port 21a and the second transmitting-receiving port 21b; Comprising two couplers 34 in the radio frequency unit 3, is respectively coupler 34a and coupler 34b.Wherein, transmission channel 1 and receive path 1 are corresponding with the first transmitting-receiving port 11a, the second transmitting-receiving port 21a, antenna C1 and coupler 34a respectively; Transmission channel 2 and receive path 2 are corresponding with the first transmitting-receiving port 11b, the second transmitting-receiving port 21b, antenna C2 and coupler 34b respectively.

Transmission channel 1 among the transceiver A sends first radiofrequency signal; This first radiofrequency signal through one of amplifier, the external filter in base station, combiner-divider etc. or any several function device (device) on the tower that possibly be provided with between feeder line B, feeder line B and the time delay adjustment equipment after; Received by the first transmitting-receiving port 11a; Coupler 34a is coupled to the second transmitting-receiving port 21a with this first radiofrequency signal; Make this first radiofrequency signal send to antenna C1, because each antenna can receive the radiofrequency signal of other antenna transmission through electromagnetic wave among the antenna sets C, therefore through the second transmitting-receiving port 21a; Antenna C2 can receive first radiofrequency signal that antenna C1 sends through electromagnetic wave; Antenna C2 returns to the second transmitting-receiving port 21b with this first radiofrequency signal, and coupler 34b is coupled to mixing device 32 with first radiofrequency signal that this second transmitting-receiving port 21b returns, and mixing device 32 carries out mixing with the local oscillator radiofrequency signal of this first radiofrequency signal and 31 generations of local frequency oscillator; Obtain second radiofrequency signal (receive frequency of duplexer is complementary among the frequency of this second radiofrequency signal and the transceiver A); And this second radiofrequency signal is sent in first power divider 33,33 pairs second radiofrequency signals of first power divider become two paths of signals according to the power division of setting, and wherein one road signal sends to coupler 34a; Coupler 34a will be from being coupled to this road signal the first transmitting-receiving port 11a, so that this road signal is sent to corresponding receive path 1 through the first transmitting-receiving port 11a; Equally, from second radiofrequency signal, distribute another road signal that obtains to send to coupler 34b, coupler 34b is coupled to the first transmitting-receiving port 11b with this road signal, so that this road signal is sent to corresponding receive path 2 through the first transmitting-receiving port 11b.

After receive path 1 receives second radiofrequency signal respectively with receive path 2; Transceiver A can be a benchmark with the transmitting time of transmission channel 1 emission first radiofrequency signal; According to the time of receive path 1, the time delay between receive path 1 and the receive path 2 is proofreaied and correct with receive path 2 receptions second radiofrequency signal.Wherein, second radiofrequency signal that receives of receive path 1 and receive path 2 is in fact respectively that 33 pairs second radiofrequency signals of first power divider are carried out the two paths of signals that obtains after the power division in the time delay adjustment equipment.

The transmitting time that is merely first radiofrequency signal of sending with transmission channel 1 shown in Figure 2 is a benchmark; Time delay between receive path 1 and the receive path 2 is proofreaied and correct; It is understandable that; The transmitting time of first radiofrequency signal that can also send with transmission channel 2 is a benchmark, and the time delay between receive path 1 and the receive path 2 is proofreaied and correct.

Because certain port in the second transmitting-receiving interface 2; For example: the second transmitting-receiving port 21a is after corresponding antenna C1 sends first radiofrequency signal; This first radiofrequency signal also has part and turns back to this second transmitting-receiving port 21a; And through in the coupler 34a entering frequency mixer 32, thereby first radiofrequency signal that the antenna C2 that receives at 32 pairs second transmitting-receivings of frequency mixer port 21b returns is brought interference signal when carrying out mixing, in view of the above; Implement under the scene at the another kind of present embodiment; Can further be provided with between second power divider, 35, the second power dividers 35 and each coupler 34 between any two couplers 34 and can be provided with first switching device 36, each first switching device can be corresponding with matched load 37; Second power divider 35 can be connected with mixing device 32;

Wherein, When any coupler in two couplers 34 is connected with second power divider 35 through first switching device 36; Another coupler connects with corresponding matched load 37 through first switching device 36; So that first radiofrequency signal that coupler 34 corresponding antenna are returned in two couplers 34 arrives mixing devices 32 through second power divider 35, first radiofrequency signal that another coupler 34 corresponding antenna are returned is absorbed by matched load 37.

Still be example, be provided with between coupler 34a and the coupler 34b between second power divider, 35, the second power dividers 35 and the coupler 34a and be provided with the first switching device 36a that this first switching device 36a is also corresponding with a matched load 37a with Fig. 2; Equally, be provided with the first switching device 36b between second power divider 35 and the coupler 34b, this first switching device 36b is also corresponding with a matched load 37b.In addition, second power divider 35 also is connected with mixing device 32.

When the transmitting time with first radiofrequency signal of transmission channel 1 emission is a benchmark; Proofread and correct the time time-delay between receive path 1 and the receive path 2; Can the first switching device 36a be connected with matched load 37a; This matched load 37a is used to absorb first radiofrequency signal that antenna C1 returns, and prevents that this first radiofrequency signal from getting into mixing device 32 through second power divider 35; The first switching device 36b is connected with second power divider 35, thereby first radiofrequency signal that makes antenna C2 return to the second transmitting-receiving port 21b gets into mixing device 32 through second power divider 35.

When the transmitting time with first radiofrequency signal of transmission channel 2 emission is a benchmark; Proofread and correct the time time-delay between receive path 1 and the receive path 2; Can the first switching device 36a and second power divider 35 be connected; The first switching device 36b and matched load 37b connect, thereby antenna C1 arrives mixing device 32 from first radiofrequency signal that the second transmitting-receiving port 21a returns through second power divider 35.

Implement between second power divider 35 and the mixing device 32 second switch device 38 can also be set further in the scene at one, this second switch device 38 is also corresponding with a mismatch load 39;

Be connected with second power divider 35 when mixing device 32 passes through second switch device 38, then second power divider 35 is sent to mixing device 32 with first radiofrequency signal; When mixing device 32 is connected through second switch device 38 and mismatch load 39, then mismatch load 39 second radiofrequency signal that can be used to 32 mixing of mixing device are obtained gets into first power divider 33.

For example: coupler 34a shown in Figure 2 is connected with second power divider 35 through the first switching device 36a; Mixing device 32 can at first be connected with second power divider 35 through second switch device 38, to receive first radiofrequency signal from coupler 34a.Treat that 32 pairs of these first radiofrequency signals of mixing device carry out mixing and obtain after second radiofrequency signal; Mixing device 32 can be connected with mismatch load 39 through second switch device 38; Because the effect of reflected signal is played in mismatch load 39; Therefore, mismatch load 39 can fully get into first power divider with second radiofrequency signal that 32 mixing of mixing device obtain.

In the description of front to be provided with 2 pairs of transmission channels and receive path among the transceiver A; Comprise two antennas among the antenna sets C; In the time delay adjustment equipment first transmitting-receiving interface 1 comprises two first transmitting-receiving ports 11; The second transmitting-receiving interface 2 comprises that two second transmitting-receiving ports 21 are example, and a kind of feasible configurations of time delay adjustment equipment is specified.Yet, not with this restriction as the time delay adjustment equipment that the embodiment of the invention is provided.Implement under the scene at the another kind that present embodiment provides; The first transmitting-receiving port 11 can be corresponding with the transmission channel and the receive path of 2 couple among the transceiver A or corresponding setting more than 2 pairs; For example: suppose to have 4 pairs of transmission channels and receive path among the transceiver A; The first transmitting-receiving port 11a shown in Figure 2 can with the transmission channel 1 and receive path 1 in 4 pairs of transmission channels and the receive path, and transmission channel 2 and receive path 2 correspondences, promptly; The first transmitting-receiving port 11a both can be used as transmission channel 1 and the interface unit of receive path 1 with time delay adjustment equipment, also can be used as transmission channel 2 and the interface unit of receive path 2 with time delay adjustment equipment.

Under this enforcement scene, the second transmitting-receiving port 21 is still corresponding with one first transmitting-receiving port 11 and an antenna, and a coupler 34 also still can one first of correspondence be received and dispatched port 11 and one second transmitting-receiving port 21, specifically can be referring to the description of front.

Because in the prior art; When having more than 2 pairs transmission channel and receive path among the transceiver A; Usually also can adopt many antennas, therefore, under this enforcement scene; The time delay adjustment equipment that the embodiment of the invention provides also can increase the number of the first transmitting-receiving port 11, the second transmitting-receiving port 21 and coupler 34 accordingly, makes the radical of number and antenna of the first transmitting-receiving port 11, the second transmitting-receiving port 21 and coupler 34 consistent.

Can find out from the description of front; First switching device 36, second power divider 35, matched load 37; And second switch device 38 is for to be arranged on two additional devices between the coupler 34, and therefore, these devices are also along with the increase and the corresponding increase of coupler 34 numbers.And the number of local frequency oscillator 31, mixing device 32 and first power divider can only be provided with one, also can also suitably increase along with the number increase of coupler 34.
