As shown in figure 1, output end of the input of N number of transmitting RF switch with the transmitting terminal rf chain is connected Connect, the output end of each transmitting RF switch is respectively connecting to an one-to-one transmitting radio-frequency antenna therewith;It is described to penetrate Frequency switch module also includes receiving RF switch and the reception radio-frequency antenna corresponding with RF switch is received, and the reception is penetrated The input of frequency switch be connected to it is one-to-one therewith receive radio-frequency antenna, the output end of the reception RF switch is and institute The input for stating receiving terminal rf chain is connected.
From unlike traditional AF structures, this example proposition is replaced stupid using this simple analog switch of RF switch The phase shifter of weight and costliness completes the realization of switch simulation Wave beam forming, and this example is referred to as OABF, that is, described is based on Switch simulation beamforming system abbreviation OABF, i.e. the On-off Analog Beamforming of forward antenna power constraint.Thing In reality, the RF switch of in the market has been widely used in wireless transceiver, and they have very attracting category Property, for example, cheaply, small volume and speed it is fast, hardly consume power, linear bandwidth and high-frequency etc..Particularly, this example with Maximized by the SNR for controlling the on off state of radio-frequency antenna to cause and receiving according to channel information, SNR is signal to noise ratio.Find radio frequency The optimal subset of antenna looks like a combinatorial optimization problem, that is, usually said NP-hard (nondeterministic polynomial is asked Topic).
It is noted that this example solves specifically to switch analog beam shape using orthogonal matching pursuit strategy simultaneously Into, it appears that its difficulty is with antenna amount exponential increase.But it is true opposite with intuition, it has been found that only linear complexity with Polynomial complexity determines the on off state of each radio-frequency antenna.Importantly, this example is theoretically proved described in this example Switch simulation beamforming system (OABF) can realize the diversity gain of complete spatial multiplexing gain and whole, based on being opened described in this example Close analog beam formation system and the RF switch state of radio frequency switch assembly is controlled to maximize reception noise according to channel information Compare the step of.The radio-frequency antenna includes transmitting radio-frequency antenna and receives radio-frequency antenna.
Simulation Wave beam forming is switched described in this example substantially different with through the abundant subset antenna selecting plan studied, wherein from Optimal k antenna is selected in N number of antenna altogether.In traditional day line options, each selected antenna is by a RF chain (or Individual simulation shift unit) connect to realize coherent combination.Therefore, k is generally determined by the quantity that can use RF chains, and Wave beam forming is imitated The signal transacting of RF chains (or phase shifter) should be come from.And in simulation beamforming system (OABF) is switched described in this example, own The radio-frequency antenna of selection is directly connected to a RF chain without any pre-processing device, i.e., do not pass through other RF chains and phase shift Any pre-processing device such as device, the effect of the switch simulation beamforming system is the radio-frequency antenna letter by selecting a part Singly realize.
The introduction about the construction of OABF is as follows:In order to compare, three of the prior art are looked back first typically existing many days The structure of line Wave beam forming, digital beam froming, the analog beam of phase alignment are formed and day line options.
In current most wireless system, overall optimum Wave beam forming is realized in numeric field, each of which An adjoint rf chain is, in order to be translated into baseband digital signal, to be not only the phase of amplitude and signal behind individual antenna Also corresponding adjustment is made with the situation of numeric field, its structure chart is as shown in Figure 2;In the communication with high-frequency and bandwidth wide In, the cost of rf chain, especially price and space cost are more much higher than antenna.
For millimetre-wave attenuator, the gain of the size and antenna of antenna is greatly reduced;When being tieed up in low frequency system Hold antenna gain, Wave beam forming mode needs substantial amounts of antenna to send be essential.However, substantial amounts of antenna is certain to Dramatically increase the cost of rf chain in digital beamforming system.Therefore, other Wave beam forming schemes have been suggested section Rf chain is saved, and maintains antenna gain.
One typical scheme is that analog beam is formed, its operation for meeting the Wave beam forming in analog domain, such as Fig. 3 institutes Show, in analog beam is formed, each antenna is connected with an analog phase shifter, be so to be penetrated in transmitting terminal (rf chain can be met before receiving terminal combination in other words) after frequency chain separation and may be constructed the wave beam shape of analog radio-frequency signal Into coefficient.Due to being constrained by analog phase shifter, as a rule only the phase of each aerial signal is controlled.
Analog phase shifter, especially those phase shifters with wide bandwidth and high-frequency ability, are also very expensive and huge 's;The scheme of more low complex degree/cost is exactly a day line options, and an antenna only is connected into rf chain during selection, such as Fig. 4 institutes Show, antenna selecting plan can also obtain full diversity gains.But, its array gain is onlyWill than full array gain Small is more.
In the comparing that analog beam forms with day line options, this example has used signal by all radio frequencies of phase alignment Antenna, and radio-frequency antenna selection simply uses an antenna without any further signal transacting.In this example, one is employed The structure of the switch simulation beamforming system of new low complex degree between day line options and analog beam formation is planted, is chosen The transmitting radio-frequency antenna subset of sending signal need not do any radiofrequency signal treatment, and other antennas are all not connected , as shown in Figure 1.In this example, the RF switch corresponding to selected radio-frequency antenna remains opening and other Then be closed mode.Therefore, this example is called the switch simulation beamforming system of forward antenna power constraint, referred to as OABF。
In OABF, subset and radio frequency with more preferable channel condition and similar phase in N number of transmitting radio-frequency antenna are chosen Chain is connected.If the subset of radix is restricted to 1, OABF and deteriorates to antenna selecting plan as shown in Figure 3.The opposing party Face, if the simulation coefficient of switch simulation beamforming system is restricted to 0 or 1, it is the OABF described in this example.
This example is equivalent to baseband system model, and a simple system model and corresponding symbol are introduced first at this.For Without loss of generality, this example considers that emitter has N number of transmitting radio-frequency antenna, and has a reception radio-frequency antenna at receiver Point-to-point transmission system.Expand to multiple situations for receiving radio-frequency antenna also very simple.It is assumed that only one data Stream, therefore have a rf chain per side.J-th transmission antenna and the channel received between radio-frequency antenna are expressed as hj, it is sent out Penetrate machine to be predicted completely by the reciprocity of some feedback schemes or channel, therefore be entirely known for emitter.I It is further assumed that all of hj, 0≤j≤N is the independent same distribution variable for obeying multiple Gauss distribution CN (0,1);Channel system Number keeps constant during a packet transmission, and is changed independently between different grouping transmission.The channel pattern is tested Demonstrate,prove and be used for the indoor mm wave communications scene that wherein portable terminal with omnidirectional antenna is moved with walking speed.
More detailed OABF transmission structures are as shown in figure 5, this example PjRepresent j-th transmit power of antenna;In transmitting At machine, some transmitting radio-frequency antennas form set T, and for sending and transmitting.Then, the baseband receiving signals y of receiver For,S.t=1 if hi∈T,else Ii=0.
Wherein, n~CN (0, σ2) represent receiver white Gaussian noise;IiIt is indicator variable, T is transmitting radio-frequency antenna Set, that is, gather { h1,h2…hN};By experience, selection optimal set T is combinatorial optimization problem to optimize reception SNR, and With the exponential complexity on antenna amount.
As shown in figure 5, in the transmitting terminal rf chain, emitter is connected to the input of current divider by power amplifier End, the output end of the current divider is connected to the transmitting RF switch of the radio frequency switch assembly;In the receiving terminal rf chain, Receiver is connected to the output end of combiner by low-noise amplifier, and the input of the combiner is connected to the radio frequency and opens Close the reception RF switch of component.
The antenna of this example each transmitting terminal by emitter total power constraint, i.e., the general power of described emitter evenly distributes To all transmitting radio-frequency antennas of radio frequency switch assembly, it means that this example does not need the variable gain power of any complexity to amplify Device.
For Performance comparision, this example Main Analysis realize two kinds of basic asymptotic gain properties that transmission beam is formed:Array increases Benefit and diversity gain.Array gain is referred in the case of N number of transmitting radio-frequency antenna altogether, on input signal-to-noise ratio SNR The increase of average output SNR;Diversity gain refers to the reduction ratio of the average value of the average bit error rate before decline;Contain The increase of the input signal-to-noise ratio on average output SNR of N number of transmitting radio-frequency antenna is referred to as array gain, declinesOn bit error rate PeAverage attenuation rate.
It is contemplated that the situation that the transmission power of each transmitting radio-frequency antenna is limited by the general power of emitter respectively, because This, Pt/ K is the transmission power of each transmitting radio-frequency antenna.Then, each transmitting radio-frequency antenna is with its maximized transmitting Power sends radiofrequency signal, and the baseband receiving signals system model of the receiver isTherefore, connect Receipts machine receive signal to noise ratio beWherein, Pt/ K is the transmission power for launching radio-frequency antenna;PtFor The general power of emitter;T is the set for launching radio-frequency antenna;K is the radix of the set T for launching radio-frequency antenna;hjIt is j-th hair Penetrate radio-frequency antenna and receive the channel coefficients between radio-frequency antenna, hj, 0≤j≤N is to obey multiple Gauss to be distributed CN (0,1) Independent same distribution variable;X is the base band sending signal of emitter;N~CN (0, σ2) represent receiver white Gaussian noise;It is the signal power of receiver.
By formulaIt can be seen that, maximize signal to noise ratio and be equivalent to maximize | ∑j∈Thj|2.It is worth one It is mentioned that, this example receives the situation of the independent power constraint of emitter different from the transmission power of each transmitting radio-frequency antenna, this example Need to find a not only absolute value with big channel coefficients sum, and also need to the set with small radix.
In this example, an optimal and linear complexity algorithm OABF is first introduced, to determine set to maximize noise SNR.Afterwards, this example proves the full diversity gains and full array gain of OABF by providing the bridge algorithm of suboptimum;It is specific as follows It is described.
The RF switch shape that simulation beamforming system controls radio frequency switch assembly according to channel information is switched described in this example State is comprised the following steps with maximizing received signal to noise ratio:
Step S1, according to the channel coefficients of N number of transmitting radio-frequency antenna, the orthogonal vertical line of N bars is drawn for this N number of channel coefficients, The complex plane of N number of transmitting radio-frequency antenna composition is divided into common 2N sector;
Step S2, to each sector, determines a correspondence set VK
Step S3, to first set V1, calculate all channel coefficients sums therein
Step S4, calculates set below wherein all of channel coefficients sum successively
Step S5, to all of fk, select of its maximum absolute value;By the f of maximum absolute valuekCorresponding set VKAs the set T of transmitting radio-frequency antenna, the radix K of set T is obtained;
Step S6, the element number K of initialization set T*=1, f*=maxi|hi|2, maxiExpression looks for maximum to all of i Value, set T*Element obtain the h of maximum absolute valuei, wherein, i is the sequence number of channel, f*It is the element number of initialization set T K*Channel coefficients sum after=1, hiIt is i-th channel coefficients of channel;
Step S7, from the element number K=2 to K of set TS, N, until f/K > f*, then f*=f/K, K*=K, T*=T0, f It is channel coefficients sum, and then obtains the radix K of the absolute value more than first threshold and set T of channel coefficients sum less than second The corresponding set T of threshold value*;Wherein, N is antenna total number antenna total number corresponding with the number of transmitting RF switch.
As shown in fig. 6, in step S1 described in this example, depicting N number of channel coefficients hj(j=1;2;…;N two dimension) is put down again Face, its trunnion axis and the longitudinal axis correspond to real part and imaginary part respectively;Then to each channel coefficients hjDraw it and pass through the orthogonal of origin Line, obtains 2N sector.In step S2 described in this example, if i-th channel coefficients hiIn sector, the projection of k is positive number, then hi∈ Vk;Otherwise
Step S7 described in this example includes following sub-step:
Step S701, initializes θ=0, and wherein, θ is the argument of all complex channel sums in set to f=0, and f is initialization Channel coefficients sum afterwards;
Step S702, according to all channel coefficients hiIn the projection in θ directions, to channel coefficients hiIt is ranked up, if after sequence Channel coefficients be hπj
Step S703, generates two set T={ hπ1,hπ2,…,hπjAnd TC={ hπK+1,hπK+2,…,hπN};
Step S704, as the π of θ < 2, ifSo,T0=T;Wherein, T0For initial The set of the transmitting radio-frequency antenna after change;Calculate Renewal θ is θ+δ;One minute angle increment, a channel parameter h in correspondence set are calculated by the formulaiIt is changed into channel system Number hj, for argument θ to be updated to new argument θ+δ;By exchanging channel coefficients hiWith channel coefficients hj;Update set T and collection Close TC, until circulation terminates.
Next, this example proposes some simulation numerical results to show the property of proposed switch simulation beamforming system Energy.In simulations, in the total power constraint P of emittert=1 time presentation numerical result.For consistency, shifting is being used Under the hypothesis of phase device, this example still will wait gain scheme to be referred to as the preferred plan of prior art.
