Background technology
2003, IEEE issue new standard IEEE 802.15.3, " the wireless medium access of WPAN draws (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) standard ", this standard proposes to realize the wireless communication system of gigabit speed rates first in short-range.In order to reach the transmission rate above 5Gbps in the 60GHz frequency range, IEEE 802.15.3c standard in 2009 has been done further to replenish to IEEE 802.15.3 standard and has been improved explanation, in the standard three kinds of physical layer modes are defined explanation, and defined a kind of brand-new wave beam forming agreement, its objective is the transmission range of increase system.
60GHz millimeter wave short-distance wireless communication technology highlights great potential today in short supply at frequency spectrum resource.60GHz millimeter wave band is roomy, and flexibility is strong, yet the ultimate challenge that it faces is too high path loss.For compensate for losses and decay, wave beam forming becomes an important research field of 60GHz millimeter wave.
Wave beam forming agreement in the IEEE 802.15.3c standard is used widely at present, and the code book of wave beam forming protocol definition has following characteristics in the IEEE 802.15.3c standard:
1. the code book design is based on the phase modulation aerial array, and each row is weight vector, corresponding actual beam;
2. only adopt phase-modulation, without amplitude modulation(PAM), reduced the power consumption of 60GHz radio band electronic device;
3. the wave beam of code book design is symmetrical in 360 degree planar range, and purpose is to reduce as far as possible that wave beam moves the gain loss that causes under the different frequency range;
Wave beam forming comprises two parts: code book design and training step, code book refer to a series of fixing wave beam forming vectors that define in advance, and each row of codebook matrix are antenna weight vector, represent a wave beam; Training step refers to find out the search procedure of optimum beam.
The expression formula of 3c wave beam code book is:
m=0,1,2,…M-1;k=0,1,2,…K-1
Wherein m is the line number of matrix, also can be regarded as the numbering to antenna element; K is the matrix column numbering, also can be regarded as the numbering to wave beam, and M is the antenna element number, and K is number of beams.The floor function representation is got and is less than or equal to the maximum integer of specifying expression formula in the bracket.Mod represents modulo operation function, mod(X, Y) be that X is divided by the remainder of Y gained.
One dimension antenna array array factor expression formula can be write as:
Wherein k represents wave beam numbering, A
k(θ) k array factor that wave beam is corresponding of expression.For the squaerial array, array factor can be torn the product of being write as x direction of principal axis and y direction of principal axis one dimension antenna array array factor open, so the 3c standard is main around the expansion of one dimension antenna array to definition and the application of code book.
Defined three kinds of patterns (Pattern) of wave beam forming in the 3c standard, be respectively: Quasi-omni pattern, Sector pattern and Beam pattern, as shown in Figure 1, Figure 1A represents the Quasi-omni pattern, and Figure 1B represents the Sector pattern, and Fig. 1 C represents the Beam pattern.Quasi-omni pattern rank is minimum in three kinds of patterns, and covering scope is the widest, and Beam pattern rank is the highest, and scope is minimum.A Quasi-omni pattern comprises a plurality of Sector, can comprise a plurality of Beam in the Sector.The zones of different of each pattern allows overlapped from 0 open numbering between the zone of the different sequence numbers of same pattern.
Corresponding three kinds of patterns, the project training step in the 3c standard was divided into for three steps: the search of Quasi-omni rank, the search of Sector rank and the search of Beam rank.
Phase I (search of Quasi-omni rank): transmit leg matches all Quasi-omni and all Quasi-omni of recipient one by one and carries out transfer of data, the recipient carries out record with all matching methods and corresponding characteristic of channel parameter S NR value, all after the end of transmission, the recipient chooses maximum SNR value, the matching method of correspondence is fed back to transmit leg, so far the phase I finishes, and has found best Q uasi-omni to (i.e. the best Quasi-omni of transmission and reception Quasi-omni).
Second stage (search of Sector rank): in the right scope of the best Q uasi-omni that draws in the phase I, with all transmission Sector with receive Sector and match one by one and carry out transfer of data, found best Sector to (i.e. the best Sector of transmission and reception Sector).
Phase III (search of Beam rank): in the right scope of best Sector that second stage draws, with all transmission Beam with receive Beam and match one by one and carry out transfer of data, found best Beam to (i.e. the best Beam of transmission and reception Beam).
Be divided into three steps among Fig. 2, need altogether 1 * 2+2 * 2+3 * 3=15 training, need 6 * 12=72 time training if directly enumerate one by one the pairing screening in all Beam, by contrast, the training step of 3c agreement proposition can make the training time reduction.
In sum, there is following defective in the prior art in the process of realization one-dimensional array antenna:
1. owing to the characteristic limitations of one dimension aerial array, nearly all wave beam has two main lobe directions, except desired orientation is also pointed to an interference radiating way;
2. only have the Beam pattern to have corresponding code book in three kinds of patterns;
3. the longitudinal axis of three-dimensional antenna directional diagram covers still defectiveness, and some wave beam is dispersed along the z direction of principal axis, points to indefinite;
4. because the gain loss that the code book restriction produces is larger;
Training time also larger, still have larger reduction space, and then raising speed.

S42: transmit leg keeps the best Beam of transmission constant, and the recipient closes the inner ring antenna array, opens the outer ring antenna array, is Num with number
BBeam received beam and one by one pairing, selecting the reception Beam corresponding with maximum S/N R value is optimum reception Beam, the best transmission Beam and optimum reception Beam form best Beam pair.In the wave beam that each group is chosen, the MRA direction of center Beam is consistent with the MRA direction of best Sector, and the MRA that supposes best Sector is x axle positive axis, and the Beam selection rule is as shown in Figure 5, and is specific as follows:
When the outer ring number of antenna elements was 16, selecting the quantity of Beam was 3, shown in Fig. 5 A; When the outer ring number of antenna elements was 32, selecting the quantity of Beam was 5, shown in Fig. 5 B; When the outer ring number of antenna elements was 64, selecting the quantity of Beam was 9,, shown in Fig. 5 C; When the outer ring number of antenna elements was 128, selecting the quantity of Beam was 17, shown in Fig. 5 D; When the outer ring number of antenna elements was 256, selecting the quantity of Beam was 33, shown in Fig. 5 E ... by that analogy.
If get the communication frequency f=60GHz of antenna, wavelength X=c/f=5mm, inner ring antenna amount M=8, in the double-layer circular antenna array structure of outer ring antenna amount N=16, the performances such as three-dimensional figure, directivity of antenna, gain loss, robustness are analyzed, circular array and IEEE 802.15.3c standard are compared one by one.
1. three-dimensional figure
Three-dimensional figure contrasts as shown in Figure 9, and Fig. 9 A represents 3 D stereo directional diagram and the corresponding x-y plane graph example of circular array code book, and Fig. 9 B represents three-dimensional figure and the corresponding x-y plane graph example of 3c code book.Because circular antenna has revolving property, namely when one of antenna weight vector loopy moving, the beam pattern shape invariance is that angle is rotated 2 π/M.
Therefore, the three-dimensional figure of 3c code book stretches along a plurality of directions of Y, and wave beam dispersions that become pointed to indefinitely, and the covering of the three-dimensional figure longitudinal axis of circular array code book is very good, is equivalent to 2 d plane picture is directly carried out longitudinal stretching along the z axle.
2. directivity of antenna
The power density that directivity of antenna is defined as intense radiation direction and the ratio of the desirable omnidirectional antenna of the same gross power of radiation in the power density of this point.Directivity of antenna has been weighed the sharp-pointed degree of antenna pattern, and the main lobe width of directional diagram is narrower usually, and directivity factor is larger, and directivity is stronger.The expression formula of directivity of antenna D is:
Wherein A (θ) is the aerial array factor,
Be illustrated in array factor on the intense radiation direction square,
Be the hermitian transposition of antenna weight vector, the definition of matrix Ω is relevant with the aerial array form.
Antenna gain (being also referred to as the antenna maximum gain factor) G can be expressed as:
G=eD,e∈[0,1]
Wherein, e represents antenna efficiency, can be regarded as constant, usually gets e=1 in the theory analysis, so the directivity factor of antenna can directly be used for reflecting the gain of antenna.In order more fully to compare, antenna amount N is chosen a plurality of value calculated direction property coefficients herein.
Directivity of antenna compares schematic diagram as shown in figure 10, because the beam shape of 3c code book is different, so directivity factor is thereupon different; Fixedly the time, all beam shapes are identical in number of antenna elements for the circular array code book, and directivity factor is constant.
Can find out that the Dmax of circular array code book is between the maximum and minimum value of 3c code book Dmax, the two gain is all comparatively considerable.
3. gain loss
Because the number of beams of antenna codebook design is limited, can not all reach maximum gain in all directions.The most weak radiation direction (normally two wave beam intersections) is compared generation with intense radiation direction gain loss figure as shown in figure 11, obviously the gain loss than 3c code book is little for the gain loss of visible circular array code book.
4. robustness
In circular array code book design of the present invention, the antenna weight coefficient does not have the amplitude modulation operation, only carries out phase-modulation, and the radio frequency phase modulation is more difficult than base band phase modulation, because the gain loss that the phase shift mistake causes is the major criterion that system robustness is analyzed.
The phase shift mistake is relevant with absolute phase, and for each phase place, its issuable phase shift mistake and absolute phase are proportional.Suppose phase shift mistake err Gaussian distributed, average is 0, and standard deviation (std) gets 0.1 and 0.2 two kind of situation, and the phase shift mistake is directly proportional with absolute phase.Through the phase theta that obtains after the phase shift mistake
1With correct absolute phase θ
0Relational expression be:
θ
1=(1+err)θ
0
Because phase shift mistake, antenna pattern can have with the directional diagram of correct phase modulation certain deviation, array factor greatest irradiation direction was main direction (MRA) when the title phase modulation was correct, Figure 12 has shown because the cumulative distribution table of the gain loss that the phase shift mistake produces at MRA, Figure 12 A is that the outer ring antenna element is the cumulative distribution table of 16 o'clock gain loss, and Figure 12 B is that the outer ring antenna element is the cumulative distribution table of 32 o'clock gain loss.
As seen the cumulative distribution table of circular array code book is faster than the convergence of 3c code book, works as N=16, and during std=0.1, the gain loss of 3c code book is in 0.4dB, and the gain loss of circular array code book can guarantee in 0.2dB.Along with the increase of outer ring number of antenna elements N, the gain loss of two kinds of code books all reduces.When the probability that reaches 100%, the circular array code book is because the gain loss that the phase shift mistake causes is less than 3c code book, and robustness is stronger.
5. training time
The training step of 3c code book and circular array code book is divided into three phases, and the two used training time (frequency of training) is shown in Figure 13 and table 2.

Supposing the system is symmetrical system, transmit leg and recipient's antenna amount and pattern quantity homogeneous phase at different levels are together, the used time of thickness search that has shown 3c code book and circular array code book among table 2 and Figure 13, because the 3c code book is not stipulated the number of three kinds of patterns, suppose that number of antennas equals the wave beam number, calculate the Short Training time of 3c in every kind of situation.Can find out that by time contrast among Figure 13 the coarse search stage of circular array code book only needs 12 training just can reach 45 degree with interior accuracy.When taking thin wave beam search, accuracy and antenna gain are strengthened, and the training time is longer than the coarse search time, are approximately half of 3c training shortest time.
To sum up, the 60GHz beam form-endowing method based on the double-layer circular antenna array that provides among the application of the invention embodiment one has been realized following beneficial effect: by closing the outer ring antenna array, open the inner ring antenna array, carry out the design of Quasi-omni code book and obtain two kinds of Quasi-omni patterns, the all reception Quasi-omni of the transmission Quasi-omni that transmit leg is all and recipient match one by one and carry out transfer of data, obtain the maximum transmission Quasi-omni of SNR value and be the best Quasi-omni of transmission, receiving Quasi-omni is optimum reception Quasi-omni, and the best Quasi-omni of transmission and optimum reception Quasi-omni form uasi-omni pair of best Q; Carry out the design of Sector code book and cooperate corresponding training step, obtain best Sector pair; Carry out the design of Beam code book in to scope and cooperate corresponding training step at best Sector, obtain best Beam pair, so that three kinds of patterns all produce corresponding code book, in realizing antenna pattern the wave beam in the same size, be evenly distributed and point to clear and definite in, reach the purpose of the antenna beam that searches high accuracy, high-gain, less gain loss in the short time, and circular array is stronger, more stable about the robustness of phase shift mistake.Because take a phase modulation when producing antenna weight vector, the mode of not amplitude modulation can also reduce the radio-frequency devices complexity.
