Optionally, as shown in fig. 2, the antenna array 102 includes two rows of antenna elements 200; the two rows of antenna array elements 200 are arranged in a transversely staggered manner. The numbers 1 to 17 above the antenna array elements 200 shown in fig. 2 are numbers for distinguishing the antenna array elements, the antenna array elements with the numbers 1, 3 and 5 … form one row, the antenna array elements with the numbers 2, 4 and 6 … form another row, and the two rows of antenna array elements are arranged in a staggered manner or staggered up and down, so that the size of the mountable position of the antenna array can be increased, leakage during measurement of the HH polarization of the antenna can be reduced, and imaging quality can be improved.

As shown in fig. 3, the present invention further provides a MIMO array near field measurement method, which is implemented by using the MIMO array near field measurement system according to any one of the embodiments, and specifically includes the following steps:
step 300, obtaining measurement parameters;

step 304, setting working parameters of the radio frequency transceiver device by the upper computer according to the measurement strategy, and initializing the on-off state of each transceiver control switch in the microwave switch array;
the on-off state of each receiving-transmitting control switch in the microwave switch array is controlled, so that a corresponding antenna array element can be flexibly selected as a transmitting antenna array element or a receiving antenna array element, and the on-off state of each receiving-transmitting control switch in the microwave switch array is initialized, so that a transmitting antenna array element and a receiving antenna array element combination for calibration and first measurement can be obtained;

the calibration can be performed by using standard calibration bodies, such as calibration balls and the like;
step 308, setting the on-off state of each receiving and transmitting control switch in the microwave switch array according to the measurement strategy, and measuring a target to obtain corresponding measurement data;
the measurement data comprise echo data under a corresponding measurement strategy;
in step 310, an imaging process is performed based on the acquired measurement data.
By adopting the embodiment, each antenna array element can be flexibly configured as a transmitting antenna array element or a receiving antenna array element according to actually required measurement parameters so as to adapt to different measurement requirements.
Further, before step 310, the method further includes the following steps:
changing the measurement strategy of the antenna array;
returning to step 304 to obtain measurement data corresponding to the changed measurement strategy.
Further, the above steps may be repeated a plurality of times before step 310.
Before the final imaging process is performed in step 310, the measurement strategy of the antenna array is changed, and the method returns to step 304 to obtain echo data under other measurement strategies, so that, when the final imaging process is performed in step 310, an imaging result can be obtained based on the comprehensive processing (such as superposition, etc.) of the echo data under at least two different measurement strategies. By adopting the embodiment, the final imaging result can synthesize echo data corresponding to two or more measurement strategies, which is beneficial to eliminating the measurement error in a single mode and obtaining more target information. In addition, the method is realized by adopting the MIMO array near-field measurement system, the receiving and transmitting antennas can be rapidly switched and different measurement strategies can be adjusted according to actual needs, the antenna array or the position of the target and the antenna array does not need to be replaced, measurement errors caused by more operations are avoided, and more accurate imaging results are facilitated.
Optionally, step 302 "determining a measurement strategy of the antenna array based on the measurement parameters" further comprises:
based on the maximum allowed transmit-receive antenna element spacing in the measurement parameters, different measurement strategies are determined, such as:
(1) If the maximum allowed interval of the receiving antenna elements in the measurement parameters is 2 times of the interval of the antenna elements, the number of the antenna elements is shown in fig. 2, the measurement flow of the measurement strategy can be 1 sending and 2 receiving (i.e. the antenna element with the number of 1 is used as the transmitting antenna element, the antenna element with the number of 2 is used as the receiving antenna element), 1 sending and 3 receiving, 2 sending and 4 receiving, and so on; 1-shot 2-shot, 1-shot 3-shot, 3-shot 2-shot, 3-shot 4-shot, 3-shot 5-shot, 4-shot 2-shot, and the like can also be used;
(2) If the maximum allowed receiving-transmitting antenna array element interval in the measurement parameters is 4 times of the antenna array element interval, the measurement flow can be 1-transmitting and 2-receiving, 1-out 3-out, 1-out 5-out, 2-out 3-out, 2-out 5-out, 3-out 6-out, 3-out 7-out, and so on.
The measurement strategy is only an example of a part of possible measurement strategies, when the allowed maximum transmit-receive antenna array element interval is 3 times of the antenna array element interval, compared with the (1), the number of antenna array elements only bearing the receiving function can be further increased, in addition, the transmit-receive sequence of the measurement flow in the (2) is adjusted, and the number of antenna array elements only bearing the receiving function can be increased on the basis of reducing the transmit-receive array elements.
The transmission and receiving links of the antenna array elements can be further simplified by increasing the maximum allowable interval of the receiving and transmitting antenna array elements in the measurement parameters, but the imaging result can be greatly different from the imaging result of single-station measurement although the imaging result can still be obtained due to the increase of the double-station angles of the receiving and transmitting antenna array elements, the difference is also different due to the difference of scattering mechanisms, particularly the difference of multiple scattering measurement imaging results, so that the specific measurement parameters are required to be different according to the measurement targets, and the maximum interval of the receiving and transmitting antenna array elements is reasonably selected and is not limited further.
Optionally, step 306 "calibrating the MIMO array near field measurement system" further includes the steps of:
preheating the MIMO array near field measurement system, wherein the preheating time is not less than 30 minutes;
placing a calibration ball for calibration in front of the center of the antenna array, wherein the height of the calibration ball is consistent with that of the antenna array, and the measurement distance from the center of the antenna array is as follows:
Figure BDA0004050674330000081
wherein c is the speed of light, L is the array length, B is the measurement bandwidth, and lambda is the wavelength corresponding to the measurement center frequency point.
Optionally, in step 308, "according to the measurement policy, the on-off state of each transceiver control switch in the microwave switch array is set, and the target is measured, so as to obtain corresponding measurement data", and further includes the following steps:
according to the measurement strategy, performing single-channel measurement on a target through the MIMO array near-field measurement system to obtain corresponding measurement data;
and judging whether the measurement of all channels is finished, if yes, ending, otherwise, repeating the previous step, namely repeatedly carrying out single-channel measurement on the target through the MIMO array near-field measurement system according to the measurement strategy, and obtaining corresponding measurement data.
According to the embodiment, the measurement data of all channels specified by the measurement strategy are obtained by adopting a single-channel multi-round measurement mode, the required supporting facilities are simpler, the antenna array elements utilized in the single-channel measurement can be reused, namely, 1-transmission and 2-reception (namely, the antenna array element with the number of 1 is used as a transmitting antenna array element and the antenna array element with the number of 2 is used as a receiving antenna array element) are adopted in the previous round of single-channel measurement, 1-transmission and 3-reception can be still adopted in the single-channel measurement of the round, the antenna array element with the number of 1 is reused, and the on-off state of each receiving and transmitting control switch in the microwave switch array can be realized without other adjustment. And the duration of the measurement process can be regulated and controlled as required.
Optionally, step 310 "perform imaging processing based on the acquired measurement data", specifically, the following manner may be adopted:
as shown in fig. 4, for the near field measurement imaging situation based on the MIMO system, an imaging model is constructed, the antenna array coordinate is set as u, the target coordinate system is set as (x, y), and the distance from the antenna array to the reference center of the target coordinate system is set as R 0 . In the case of multiple scattering centers, the received echoes can be expressed as:

wherein s (f, u) represents target echo data received under the conditions of the current observation frequency f, the current transmitting antenna array element and the receiving antenna array element position u; Γ (x, y) represents the target scattering distribution function of the single scattering center in the target coordinate system; l represents the distance in the exponential term, describing the integral path of the imaging measurement of the scattering center for the phase delay of the corresponding single scattering center from the reference center.
As shown in fig. 4, the calculation formula of L is:

wherein R is b To integrate path change of standard volume during calibration, u t For transmitting the position of the antenna array element u r For the location of the receive antenna elements, (x) b ,y b ) Is the position of the calibration body in the target coordinate system.
