The electrical tilt antenna phase shifter
Technical field
The utility model relates to the mobile base station antenna technical field, especially a kind of base station electrical tilt antenna phase shifter.
Background technology
Antenna of mobile communication base station will be called the Downtilt or the angle of depression with respect to horizontal alignment certain angle that has a down dip usually; To directly influence the radiation effect of base station by adjusting angle of declination.The main at present adjustment of adopting the dual mode realization to the antenna for base station angle of declination; Be that a kind of mode is antenna downward-sloping certain physical angle when installing, promptly so-called mechanical tilt; Another kind of mode is the phase place that only needs to change the different radiating doublets of antenna, the beam direction of antenna is deflected down, promptly so-called electrical down-tilting.
In present stage, adopting more is the mechanical tilt angle of adjusting antenna, but because the density of the network coverage is increasing, interference how to avoid the adjacent area has been the more and more crucial problem of networking, and adopt the method for mechanical adjustment Downtilt owing to cause the distortion of antenna pattern and adjacent area to be disturbed easily, adjust also inconvenience simultaneously, so its application is restricted.Adjustable electrical down-tilting antenna then can overcome above-mentioned defective, therefore obtains application more and more widely.
The operation principle of electrical tilt antenna is exactly that feeding network changes the phase place of each radiating element of conllinear array antenna by the electronics mode, thereby influences the variation of compound direction figure greatest irradiation point, realizes adjusting automatically the effect at antenna beam inclination angle.Thereby the device (phase shifter) that changes the radiating element phase place is exactly the critical component of electrical tilt antenna.
Antenna for base station plays a part to receive and the carrier wave that transmits, and is the front end critical component of base station, and is most important for the running quality of mobile communication system.Carry out the network optimization, when administering and maintaining, need to adjust the tilt angled down of antenna, electrical tilt antenna just is to use phase shifter to adjust the antenna that the antenna main lobe width of cloth is penetrated tilt angled down, it adjusts principle is by the phase place that changes conllinear battle array radiating element, the amplitude size that changes vertical component and horizontal component, and synthetic component field intensity intensity realizes thereby change.And the adjusting device of angle of declination is exactly so-called phase shifter.By the phase place that is used for changing conllinear battle array radiating element of phase shifter, to reach the purpose of adjusting angle of declination.Along with mobile communication system develop rapidly and universal, base station distribution is more and more intensive in the city, communications band is more and more, therefore performance requirement for phase shifter is more and more high, needs that phase shifter has bandwidth, standing-wave ratio and changes in amplitude is little, cost is low, reliability is high and complexity is low characteristics in the phase shift process.
Summary of the invention
Shortcoming at antenna mechanical tilt technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a kind of bandwidth, in the phase shift process standing-wave ratio and changes in amplitude is little, cost is low, reliability is high and complexity is low electrical tilt antenna phase shifter, the mode of transferring by electricity realizes the downwards bevel beam of antenna.
The technical scheme that its technical problem that solves the utility model adopts is: include a cavity, cavity cover plate, well floor, the three forms a box body, it is characterized in that: phase shift arm, adjusting rod, two coupling holddown grooves are arranged in described box body, the phase shift arm is the lamellar structure of multilayer, the intermediate layer is a conductive layer, surface layer is an insulating barrier up and down, one end of this phase shift arm is connected with adjusting rod, the both sides of the other end are stretched into respectively in two coupling holddown grooves, become to be slidingly connected with two coupling holddown grooves, two coupling holddown grooves become respectively '
' the shape structure, the other end of adjusting rod stretches out outside the cavity.
Because of the height of cavity can influence standing-wave ratio, so be to have left and right side frame shape that boss, well floor also have boss, cavity to match as " convex shape " and loam cake and base plate and form two spaces that vary in size of sealing in the inside of phase shifter by phase shifter cavity cover plate.
The holddown groove that wherein is coupled can play the effect of signal transmission, and two coupling holddown grooves and forked phase shift arm form the loop of signal, and the physical length change of transmission signals can cause phase shifts, thereby produces the effect of phase shift.The scope of phase shift is by first and second determining positions of forked phase shift arm; Primary importance, phase shift arm stretch into coupling fixedly in the cell body fully, and the physical length of transmission signals does not change; The second place, the phase shift arm is fixedly extracted out in the cell body fully from being coupled, and the physical length of transmission signals changes, and the hysteresis amount of phase shift that produced this moment is maximum.The phase shift arm can be forked movable conductor, can block in its recess detent mechanism is arranged, detent mechanism can be column or tabular, detent mechanism is fixed on the well floor, the guider when forming the phase shift arm and moving.The other end of phase shift arm is connected with cylinder lever connecting rod, and cylinder lever connecting rod stretches out outside the cavity, and the phase shift arm can move forward and backward like this, and the linear length that changes the inner wire of coupling holddown groove and movable conductor composition reaches phase place continually varying purpose.Because of the height of cavity can influence standing-wave ratio, so by forming two spaces that vary in size in cavity cover plate, cavity frame, the well floor seal chamber.Be to be in the less space when the phase shift arm moves in the holddown groove by pull bar, when the phase shift arm picks out holddown groove by pull bar, just be in than large space in.
In embodiment of the present utility model, in order to make the adjusting rod position stability, a fixation clamp is arranged in cavity, there are screw, adjusting rod to pass this fixation clamp on the fixation clamp.Position by this screw adjusting rod.
The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
1, reaches the purpose of standing-wave ratio matched well; Frequency bandwidth can well extend to 800MHZ, 2500MHZ, 3300MHZ, 3500MHZ etc.
