Description

Antenna calibration method and system, and calibration signal processor
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to an antenna calibration method and system, and a calibration signal processor.
Background
The large-scale antenna technology (Massive MIMO) forms space narrow beam forming through a large number of antennas, and the space dimensionality is fully utilized to obtain multi-user multiplexing gain, so that the frequency spectrum efficiency and capacity of a cell can be effectively improved. The large-scale antenna technology is one of the key technologies for future communication system research, and related research work has been started in the 3GPP standard organization at present. The antenna calibration is a key technology in the application of large-scale antenna technology, and because each radio frequency transceiving channel in the antenna array has difference, and the difference changes along with factors such as time, temperature, channel level and the like, amplitude and phase difference among the radio frequency channels need to be detected through the antenna calibration, and the difference among the channels needs to be compensated in beam forming through baseband processing, so that the beam forming accuracy is improved, and the system performance is improved.
In the existing LTE system, the number of radio frequency channels is at most 8 ports, so the antenna calibration period is relatively short, while the number of radio frequencies of a large-scale antenna is increased from 8 channels of the current antenna to more than 64 channels, and the number of radio frequency channels is increased by more than 8 times. In order to shorten the calibration time, a plurality of channels are required to simultaneously transmit calibration sequences for calibration in the calibration process, and the radio frequency channel transmission calibration sequences at the moment are transmitted by adopting orthogonal sequences, so that the channel estimation can accurately estimate the channel of each radio frequency channel.
However, the method of performing calibration channel estimation by using the transmit orthogonal calibration sequence causes large interference of the calibration sequence between the transmit calibration channels, and the channel estimation algorithm needs to distinguish each radio frequency channel, which is high in complexity. Meanwhile, a future 5G system will be a wireless communication system with multiple air interface waveforms coexisting, and there is no relevant scheme for how to generate a calibration sequence and how to calibrate under the multiple air interface waveforms.
