Description

Beam synthesis framework based on highly-multiplexed true delay unit
Technical Field
The invention is suitable for ultra-wideband wireless communication systems and MIMO systems in radar, satellite communication, military and other fields, in particular to the field of wideband multi-beam forming, and provides a new realization idea for the 5G technology.
Background
The principle of beam forming is: when the signal is received, the direction of the useful signal forms constructive interference to strengthen the expected signal, and forms destructive interference at other angles to restrain the interference signal, and the sensitivity of the receiver can be obviously improved. The multi-beam synthesis technology can generate a plurality of high-gain beams with independent directions at the same time, and the coverage of a certain angle range is realized through the combined action of the plurality of beams. In wireless communications, multipath signal interference is unavoidable and limits the quality of the communication, so a smooth, accurate, wideband group delay is of paramount importance for phased arrays.
In the narrow-band phased array, the phase difference of incident waves in different directions reaching each antenna is small, and the phase shifter is adopted to adjust the fixed phase, so that the signal at the receiving end is in-phase strengthened. However, ultra-wideThe band communication system adopts short-time pulse for signal transmission, and generates broadband frequency response[1-3]The use of phase shifters causes the formed beams to shift, which affects the performance of the system. Therefore, it is necessary to use a real time delay unit instead of a phase shifter to realize the constructive superposition of the ultra-wideband signals[2-4]. There are many traditional beam forming architectures based on the real delay unit, such as Brute-force architecture and glasses architecture[2,5-6]And when four input and four output are carried out, the total delay unit number is 48 tau, and the path sharing true delay structure proposed by ChuT S and Hashmeih[7]By multiplexing the delay units, the total number of delay units is 24 τ. Although both are suitable for ultra-wideband communication systems, they occupy a large amount of chip area due to the large delay time.
