In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous technical details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present application in various embodiments of the present invention. However, the technical solution claimed in the present application can be implemented without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments. The following embodiments are divided for convenience of description, and should not constitute any limitation to the specific implementation manner of the present invention, and the embodiments may be mutually incorporated and referred to without contradiction.
The first embodiment of the present invention relates to an amplitude calibration method for a receiving channel, which is applied to a 5G millimeter wave phased array, as shown in fig. 1, and specifically includes:
Specifically, the 5G millimeter wave phased array is composed of a basic assembly and a plurality of radio frequency channels, wherein the basic assembly comprises a baseband and an optional intermediate frequency, and the inside of the basic assembly is composed of three parts: a CW single-frequency continuous wave generating section, a reception amplitude comparing section, a changeover switch for controlling three ports (a radiation antenna, a transmission channel, a reception channel); the enabling of the transmit and receive channels is controlled by the baseband of the base component. The radio frequency channels constitute an array, each radio frequency channel being composed of a radio frequency transmit channel (Tx RF), a radio frequency receive channel (Rx RF), a double pole double throw switching device (Switch), and a radiating Antenna (Antenna). By controlling the double-pole double-throw switching device (Switch), it can be realized that different radio frequency receiving channels (Rx RFs) receive the single-frequency continuous wave signals (the single-frequency continuous wave signals are transmitted to the radio frequency receiving channels by the radiation antenna) sent by the same radio frequency transmitting channel (Tx RF), taking the 5G millimeter wave phased array shown in fig. 2 as an example, the method for receiving the single-frequency continuous wave signals of different radio frequency receiving channels by the same radio frequency receiving channel and recording the signal strength is as follows:
the basic component controls the Switch1 to connect the RF transmitting channel Tx RF1 and the RF receiving channel Rx RF 1; the basic component transmits a single-frequency continuous wave signal CW through a radio frequency transmission channel Tx RF 1; the single-frequency continuous wave signal CW is received by a radio frequency receiving channel Rx RF1, and meanwhile, a receiving amplitude comparison part Amplifier component of the basic component records the signal intensity of the single-frequency continuous wave signal;
the basic component controls a Switch1 which is communicated with a radiation Antenna1 and a radio frequency transmission channel Tx RF 1; the basic component controls a Switch2 to connect a radio frequency receiving channel Rx RF2 and a radiation Antenna 2; the basic component transmits a single-frequency continuous wave signal CW through a radio frequency transmission channel Tx RF 1; the single-frequency continuous wave signal CW passes through the radiation Antenna1 and is coupled and received by the radiation Antenna2 in the dark box; the single-frequency continuous wave signal CW received by the radiating Antenna2 is received by the radio frequency receiving channel Rx RF2 through the control of the Switch2, and the receiving amplitude comparison portion Amplifier components of the basic component records the signal strength at this moment, and so on until all the radio frequency receiving channels receive the single-frequency continuous wave signal transmitted from each radio frequency transmitting channel Tx RF 1.
In addition, it should be noted that, when acquiring the signal strength of the current rf receiving channel, the signal strength of the previous rf receiving channel is used as a reference.
And 102, acquiring the strength difference of the adjacent receiving channels according to the signal strength of the adjacent receiving channels.
Specifically, after each RF receiving channel receives a single-frequency continuous wave signal transmitted from the same RF transmitting channel Tx RF1 and records the signal strength of each single-frequency continuous wave signal at the time of arrival, the signal strength difference between adjacent receiving channels is obtained, and the signal strength difference is added to the signal attenuation to obtain the strength difference between adjacent receiving channels, and this step is repeated until the strength difference between all adjacent receiving channels is obtained.
Taking the signal strength of the radio frequency receiving channel 1 as a, the signal strength of the radio frequency receiving channel 2 as B, and the signal attenuation as X as an example: the intensity difference between adjacent receiving channels 12 is signal intensity a-signal intensity B-signal attenuation X.
And 103, acquiring the amplitude relation of the adjacent receiving channels according to the intensity difference.
Specifically, after the intensity difference between adjacent receiving channels is obtained, since single-frequency continuous wave signals sent by the same rf transmitting channel are received by using different rf receiving channels, it can be known from step 101 that: after the single-frequency continuous wave signal CW passes through the radiation Antenna2 and is coupled and received by the radiation Antenna1 in a dark box, the amplitude relationship of adjacent receiving channels also needs to consider the coupling attenuation, and the coupling attenuation is related to the path layout of the 5G millimeter wave phased array.
And 104, performing amplitude calibration on the receiving channel according to the amplitude relation, the single-frequency continuous wave signal and a preset ideal attenuation amount.
Specifically, after the amplitude relationship of each adjacent receiving channel is obtained, amplitude calibration can be sequentially performed on each receiving channel according to the amplitude relationship, the single-frequency continuous wave signal and a preset ideal attenuation amount, wherein the preset ideal attenuation amount is a signal attenuation amount required by the normal arrival of the single-frequency continuous wave in the 5G millimeter wave phased array without considering influence factors such as temperature and device performance difference.

By realizing the self-sending and self-receiving of the single-frequency continuous wave signals and calibrating the amplitude according to the corresponding amplitude relation, the 5G millimeter wave phased array can carry out self-checking in the 5G millimeter wave phased array without the help of an external device for amplitude calibration, and the problems that in the prior art, the amplitude calibration time is long and the accuracy of the amplitude calibration result is not high because the amplitude calibration between all receiving channels of the antenna phased array needs to be carried out by the help of the external device are solved.

Specifically, after the radio frequency receiving channels receive the single-frequency continuous wave signals sent by each radio frequency receiving channel and record the signal intensity of each single-frequency continuous wave signal reaching time, the difference value between the signal intensities of adjacent receiving channels is used as the signal intensity difference of the adjacent receiving channels.
And step 303, acquiring the intensity difference of the adjacent receiving channels according to the signal intensity difference and a preset signal attenuation.
Specifically, the signal strength difference of the adjacent receiving channels is added with the preset signal attenuation amount to obtain the strength difference of the adjacent receiving channels, and the step is repeated until the strength difference between all the adjacent receiving channels is obtained.
