Description

Base station antenna design method for greatly improving ground-air communication signal coverage quality
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a base station antenna design method for greatly improving the ground-air communication signal coverage quality.
Background
An antenna is an electronic device for radiating radio wave energy, and is a key network element and device in a wireless communication system. For mobile communication systems, from 2G to 5G mobile communication systems currently being deployed, the mobile communication requirements of terrestrial users are successfully solved. As the base station antenna, which is a key device of a mobile communication system, evolves with the evolution of the mobile communication system and technology, technology is continuously updated. From the earliest whip omnidirectional antenna, to the plate-shaped single-polarized directional antenna, the dual-polarized directional antenna, to the broadband antenna, the multi-frequency antenna, and then the split beam antenna and the beam-forming antenna, no matter how the base station antenna is developed, and how the technology and the form of the antenna are changed, the current mobile communication base station antenna aims to cover the users on the ground.
The top and the bottom of the existing antenna are the places with the worst antenna gain, and if the gain depression of the top of the antenna is too deep, the empty coverage causes weak coverage of the top area of the antenna, and a coverage hole or the problem that signals of adjacent cells cover the cross-zone coverage of the top of the cell occurs.
With the increasing demand, mobile communications are evolving from ground coverage to air. The current demand comes from two aspects:
unmanned aerial vehicle communication of flying height below 3000 meters.
ATG communication of a civil aircraft of 6000 meters to 1.2 kilometers.
It is not feasible to directly serve the terrestrial mobile communication system for the empty coverage, and there are various technical obstacles, one of which is some electrical characteristics of the terrestrial base station antenna, especially the form of the lobe is not suitable for the empty coverage. Fig. 1 is a lobe diagram of the horizontal and vertical planes of a typical terrestrial base station antenna, the so-called lobe diagram, which is the gain values for each direction of 360 degrees in a certain plane of the antenna. From the lobe diagram of the antenna in fig. 1, when the base station antenna is erected at a certain height and radiates to the ground, the requirement for ground coverage can be met, and when the antenna is used for empty coverage, the vertical lobe is declined, energy radiates to the ground, an aerial signal is weak, coverage is poor, the vertical lobe has a large number of zero points, namely points with extremely low antenna gain, when the antenna covers the ground, the zero points exist and are not obviously affected, the ground has a large number of ground objects and buildings, signals can be reflected and scattered, the zero points are filled, and no obvious effect is generated on ground users.
The width of a vertical lobe of the conventional antenna is too narrow, so that the conventional antenna is not beneficial to simultaneously covering different heights, and the narrow bandwidth of the vertical lobe indicates that the directivity of the antenna is strong, so that the antenna is advantageous for a ground antenna, the energy radiation direction is convenient to control, the interference to adjacent regions is reduced, in addition, only one surface is covered on the ground, and the requirements of different heights do not exist. However, the requirement for empty coverage is usually a spatial coverage, too narrow a vertical lobe width, which is not favorable for simultaneously covering different heights.
The top gain of the existing antenna is sunken seriously, the top and the bottom of the antenna are the places with the worst gain, and the phenomenon of dark under the lamp can be generated in the open area of the ground, and the problem is not serious for a ground network because of the reflection and scattering of ground buildings and buildings; however, the empty coverage causes weak coverage of the antenna top area, coverage holes or the problem that signals of adjacent cells cover the cross-zone coverage of the top of the cell occurs.
Theoretical analysis and actual tests prove that when the base station antenna is directly used for the air, the problems of poor air overall signal quality, discontinuous coverage, a large number of call drop points in the middle, large coverage difference at different heights, overhead call drop and cross-zone coverage can occur.
Fig. 2 shows simulation results of a 100km coverage range at a height of 1 km for an application of empty coverage, in which a typical terrestrial base station antenna is set to have a mechanical tilt angle of 7 degrees upward.
From the effect of the simulation of fig. 2, a large number of zeros and depressions at the top appear, so that there is weak signal and discontinuous coverage in the central area (0-30km) of the coverage base station. The problems existing in the prior mobile communication network base station antenna for the empty coverage seriously influence the development of the mobile communication technology to the empty coverage,
currently, the networks for ground-air communication include two types: the internet unmanned aerial vehicle communication and the ATG communication of civil aviation passenger plane, internet unmanned aerial vehicle network communication structure, shown in figure 3, are to the large-scale unmanned aerial vehicle of industrial use, through the network of deploying the honeycomb on the ground, provide the communication service of long distance, high-speed control signal and video passback to unmanned aerial vehicle, for example the unmanned aerial vehicle of electric power and oil patrols the line, the unmanned aerial vehicle of logistics industry delivers goods application.
As shown in fig. 4, the structure of the ATG communication network for civil aviation is to deploy a cellular base station network on the ground for the communication demand of users in the passenger plane of civil aviation, install airborne equipment and Wifi hot spots on the passenger plane of civil aviation, and use the ATG network as backhaul, thereby realizing internet surfing and communication of users in the cabin of the aircraft. Compared with the satellite communication mode, the ATG has obvious performance and price advantages. Although the data link network of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the ATG network of the civil aircraft are very similar in network structure, the unmanned aerial vehicle and the civil aircraft are different in flight altitude, speed and data transmission requirements, the ground-air communication networks of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the civil aircraft cannot be the same network, and the ground-air communication network cannot be directly reused.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in terms of network structures of an unmanned aerial vehicle data link network and an ATG network of a civil aircraft, a ground base station antenna is an important device, and is a key to determine whether network coverage is continuous, whether quality meets a standard, and whether three-dimensional coverage can be achieved. As analyzed by the prior art, the base station antenna of the existing ground mobile network cannot be directly used for empty coverage, and the mature empty antenna of other systems such as radar and remote sensing cannot meet the requirement of cellular network networking, so that a novel antenna needs to be invented, on one hand, the requirement of the networking structure of the cellular network is met, and simultaneously the following problems existing in the empty coverage of the existing ground base station antenna are also overcome:
1. the vertical lobe is declined;
2. the vertical lobe has a large number of nulls;
3. the vertical lobe width is too narrow;
4. the antenna top gain depression is severe.
