And 1211, performing phase compensation on the digital signals corresponding to the antenna array elements by using the candidate phase compensation values based on a preset evaluation formula for each candidate phase compensation value to obtain compensation signals corresponding to the antenna array elements.
In some embodiments, the preset evaluation formula is based on an integration and difference formula of a trigonometric function, wherein the integration and difference formula of the trigonometric function comprises:
formula (1): sin α cos β =1/2[ alpha ], [ alpha + β) + sin (α - β ]
Formula (2): cos α sin β =1/2[ alpha ], [ alpha + β ] -sin (α - β) ]
Formula (3): cos α cos β =1/2[ cos (α + β) + cos (α - β) ]

In some embodimentsIn the method, the digital signal corresponding to the antenna element is a cosine signal, the preset evaluation formula is based on the formula (3), and the preset evaluation formula is cos (alpha) n )*cos(N n β m )=1/2[cos(α n -N n β m )+cos(α n +N n β m )]。
Wherein cos (. Alpha.) is n ) Representing the digital signal, alpha, corresponding to the nth antenna element n =ωt+φ n And omega is the angular frequency, phi, of the digital signal corresponding to each antenna element n Is the phase of the digital signal corresponding to the nth antenna element, t is an independent variable, N n Representing a predetermined compensation factor, N, for the nth antenna element n Is a natural number, beta m And m and n are positive integers. Where ω =2 π f, f is the signal frequency, and f is the same for all elements, i.e., ω is the same.
In some embodiments, the compensation coefficient corresponding to the reference array element is 0, and the compensation coefficients corresponding to the other array elements are determined according to the distances between the other array elements and the reference array element. For example, the interval between two adjacent antenna array elements is a fixed interval, and for each other array element, if the interval between the other array element and the reference array element is 1 fixed interval, the compensation coefficient corresponding to the other array element is set to 1, if the interval between the other array element and the reference array element is 2 fixed intervals, the compensation coefficient corresponding to the other array element is set to 2, if the interval between the other array element and the reference array element is 3 fixed intervals, the compensation coefficient corresponding to the other array element is set to 3, and so on.
In some embodiments, in step 1211, first, for each candidate phase compensation value, the compensation coefficient corresponding to each antenna element, and the digital signal corresponding to each antenna element are substituted into the above formula: cos (. Alpha.) of n )*cos(N n β m )=1/2[cos(α n -N n β m )+cos(α n +N n β m )]And obtaining compensation data corresponding to each antenna array element based on the candidate phase compensation value: 1/2[ cos (alpha) ] n -N n β m )+cos(α n +N n β m )]。
And then, carrying out data processing on the compensation data corresponding to each antenna array element based on the candidate phase compensation value to obtain a compensation signal corresponding to each antenna array element based on the candidate phase compensation value. Wherein for the m-th candidate phase compensation value beta m The compensation signal corresponding to the nth antenna element is 1/2[ cos (alpha ]) n -N n β m )]Or 1/2cos (alpha) n +N n β m )]。
For example, suppose that a plurality of antenna elements arranged side by side include element 1, element 2, element 3 and element 4, where element 1 is a reference element and the digital signal corresponding to element 1 is cos (α) 1 ) The compensation coefficient corresponding to the array element 1 is 0, and the digital signal corresponding to the array element 2 is cos (alpha) 2 ) The compensation coefficient corresponding to the array element 2 is 1, and the digital signal corresponding to the array element 3 is cos (alpha) 3 ) The compensation coefficient corresponding to the array element 3 is 2, and the digital signal corresponding to the array element 4 is cos (alpha) 4 ) The compensation coefficient corresponding to the array element 4 is 3, and it is assumed that the candidate phase compensation values are β respectively 1 、β 2 And beta 3
In step 1211, the compensation value β is compensated for the candidate phase 1 The compensation data corresponding to the array element 1 is calculated by the formula as cos (alpha) 1 )*cos(0*β 1 )=1/2[cos(α 1 -0*β 1 )+cos(α 1 +0*β 1 )]The compensation data corresponding to array element 2 is cos (alpha) 2 )*cos(1*β 1 )=1/2[cos(α 2 -1*β 1 )+cos(α 2 +1*β 1 )]The compensation data corresponding to the array element 3 is cos (alpha) 3 )*cos(2*β 1 )=1/2[cos(α 3 -2*β 1 )+cos(α 3 +2*β 1 )]The compensation data corresponding to the array element 4 is cos (alpha) 4 )*cos(3*β 1 )=1/2[cos(α 4 -3*β 1 )+cos(α 4 +3*β 1 )]。
Compensating value beta for candidate phase 1 Respectively processing the compensation data corresponding to each array element to obtain a cos (alpha) compensation signal corresponding to the array element 1 1 ) The compensation signal corresponding to the array element 2 is 1/2cos(α 2 -1*β 1 ) Or 1/2cos (. Alpha.) 2 +1*β 1 ) The compensation signal corresponding to the array element 3 is 1/2cos (alpha) 3 -2*β 1 ) Or 1/2cos (. Alpha.) 3 +2*β 1 ) The compensation signal corresponding to the array element 4 is 1/2cos (alpha) 4 -3*β 1 ) Or 1/2cos (. Alpha.) 4 +3*β 1 )。
Compensating value beta for candidate phase 2 、β 3 Can be seen in the foregoing for the candidate phase compensation value β 1 The calculation of (2) is not described herein.
In some embodiments, when the reference array element is located at the most peripheral position of the antenna array, the compensation signal corresponding to the digital signal cos (α) of each of the other array elements is 1/2cos (α -N × β), or the compensation signal corresponding to each of the other array elements is 1/2cos (α + N × β). Wherein, N is the compensation coefficient corresponding to other array elements, and beta is the candidate phase compensation value.
In some embodiments, when the reference array element is located at the middle position of the antenna array, the compensation signals corresponding to other array elements located at the left side of the reference array element are 1/2cos (α -N × β), and the compensation signals corresponding to other array elements located at the right side of the reference array element are 1/2cos (α + N × β); or, when the reference array element is located in the middle of the antenna array, the compensation signals corresponding to the other array elements located on the left side of the reference array element are 1/2cos (α + N × β), and the compensation signals corresponding to the other array elements located on the right side of the reference array element are 1/2cos (α -N × β).
And 1212, superposing the compensation signals obtained based on the candidate phase compensation value to obtain a superposed signal corresponding to the candidate phase compensation value.
For example, for the candidate phase compensation value β 1 The compensation signals corresponding to the array elements (array element 1, array element 2, array element 3, and array element 4) obtained through the processing in step 1211 are cos (α) 1 )、1/2cos(α 2 -1*β 1 )、1/2cos(α 3 -2*β 1 )、1/2cos(α 4 -3*β 1 ). Then in step 1212 the compensation value beta is compensated for the candidate phase 1 The candidate phase compensation value beta 1 Corresponding superimposed signal A1= cos (α) 1 )+1/2cos(α 2 -1*β 1 )+1/2cos(α 3 -2*β 1 )+1/2cos(α 4 -3*β 1 ). And so on, the candidate phase compensation value beta 2 Corresponding superimposed signal A2= cos (α) 1 )+1/2cos(α 2 -1*β 2 )+1/2cos(α 3 -2*β 2 )+1/2cos(α 4 -3*β 2 ) Candidate phase compensation value beta 3 Corresponding superimposed signal A3= cos (α) 1 )+1/2cos(α 2 -1*β 3 )+1/2cos(α 3 -2*β 3 )+1/2cos(α 4 -3*β 3 )。
Step 1213, determining the candidate phase compensation value corresponding to the superimposed signal with the maximum signal strength as the optimal phase compensation value.
For example, if the signal intensity of the superimposed signal A1 is the maximum among the superimposed signals A1, A2, and A3, the candidate phase compensation value β corresponding to the superimposed signal A1 is set to the maximum value 1 As an optimal phase compensation value.
And step 122, determining a phase compensation value corresponding to each antenna array element according to a preset compensation coefficient corresponding to the antenna array element and the optimal phase compensation value.
And aiming at each antenna array element, the phase compensation value corresponding to the antenna array element is the product of the preset compensation coefficient corresponding to the antenna array element and the optimal phase compensation value. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the multiple antenna elements, the compensation coefficient of the reference element is 0, and the compensation coefficients of the other elements are determined according to the distance between the reference element and the compensation coefficient of the reference element.
And step 123, performing phase compensation on the digital signals corresponding to the array elements by using a preset phase compensation formula according to the digital signals corresponding to the array elements and the corresponding phase compensation values.
Wherein the preset phase compensation formula is cos (alpha) n -N n Beta) or cos (. Alpha.) n +N n β); wherein alpha is n =ω n t+φ n ,ω n For the angular frequency, phi, of the digital signal corresponding to the nth antenna element n The phase of the digital signal corresponding to the nth antenna elementT is an independent variable, N n Beta represents the phase compensation value corresponding to the nth antenna array element, beta is the optimal phase compensation value, and N n Representing a preset compensation coefficient, N, corresponding to the nth antenna element n Is a natural number.
As can be appreciated, cos (. Alpha.) is n -N n Beta) represents a pair signal cos (. Alpha.) n ) Lead compensation of the phase of (a), cos (a) n +N n Beta) represents a signal cos (. Alpha.) of the pair n ) Lag compensation of the phase of, N n β can also be understood as the amount of phase shift, and the phase of the digital signal corresponding to an element is compensated for either a lead or lag depending on the scan direction of the antenna. For example, when the leftmost array element is selected as the reference array element, the pattern of the default antenna array is in the normal direction when the phase compensation is not performed, if left scanning is required, the advance compensation needs to be performed on other array elements, and if right scanning is required, the lag compensation needs to be performed on other array elements. It should be noted that the compensation signal also needs to be determined according to the scanning direction of the antenna.
In some embodiments, after the optimal phase compensation value is determined, the phase compensation value of each array element is determined according to the compensation coefficient and the optimal phase compensation value of each array element, and the phase of the digital signal of each array element is compensated according to the phase compensation value of each array element, so that the phase difference between the array elements can be effectively compensated, and the directional diagram of the antenna array can be effectively controlled.
