Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for calibrating a electronically phased array using a common reference point for all reference signals in radio communication systems and an arrangement therefor.
  • Intelligent antennas form by means of corresponding phase-correct Control of the individual antenna elements of the antenna array a directional characteristic.
  • the beam shaping can therefore used to receive a message from a base station to a subscriber station targeted in their direction too transfer.
  • the sensitivity to Interference in the current radio cell of the base station On the other hand, co-channel interference can be reduced be reduced in adjacent radio cells.
  • due to the spatial separation physical channels within a reused by a base station powered radio cell and the so-called antenna lobes of the directional diagram be moved adaptively during movement of subscriber stations.
  • the original transmission signal via several antenna elements usually with different but defined phase angles, sent.

  • so-called “processing sections” for baseband signal generation and “transmit radio circuits” for their processing are arranged in a transmitter.
  • processing sections for baseband signal generation and “transmit radio circuits” for their processing are arranged in a transmitter.
  • codes distinguishable signals from the "transmit radio circuits” carrier frequency on the one hand via “transmit terminals” for emission to antennas and on the other hand wired via cable to an addition device.
  • a summed signal formed there passes via another cable and via another "transmit terminal” to a so-called “transmit radio circuit characteristic measuring section", which divides the sum signal into individual signals and evaluates them.
  • the Direction is determined by the evaluation of different phase angles the Emptangssignals to each antenna element of the antenna array detected. That is why an antenna calibration in the base station not just for the downlink to the subscriber station (downlink), but also for the uplink from the subscriber station to the base station (Uplink) necessary.
  • a so-called reference antenna In a TD-SCDMA system (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access System) using intelligent Antennas will be an extra for antenna calibration Antenna used, a so-called reference antenna.
  • a reference antenna About the reference antenna is in the case of an uplink calibration a reference signal to all antenna elements of the Antenna arrays sent. At the individual antenna elements becomes electromagnetic due to the finite propagation velocity Waves depending on the distance to the reference antenna a certain delay time and a certain phase position expected. The difference between the expected setpoint and the actually measured actual value is determined and as Correction factor saved. The correction factor will then involved in the normal signal processing process, whereby the antenna is calibrated.
  • the reference antenna at a certain time receives a reference signal from an antenna element of the antenna array and the correction factor is determined. To counteract the distortion of the measurement result due to other antenna elements of the antenna array, they must not transmit any signal at this time. Subsequently, the reference antenna receives a reference signal from a second antenna element of the antenna array at a second time, and the correction factor for this second antenna element is determined, etc.

  • the separation of the reference signals conventional spreading code techniques, such as correlation, used where the common reference point is on the respective reference code channel of the antenna elements synchronized and the reference signals back to their original bandwidth be reduced.
  • the reference signals after another Embodiment coded orthogonally so the interference remain minimal despite simultaneous transmission.
  • the calibration factor may be from the result of the correlation be obtained in a digital signal processor.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is It is to use an optimized reference signal set, the an unbiased estimate of the calibration factor allowed.
  • the correction of delay time, Phase error and / or amplitude of the transmission signals immediately within a digital UP conversion / down conversion be made, whereby no correction factor must be included and no oversampling of the Receive and transmit signal is necessary to delay error to eliminate.
  • the downlink calibration can in a further embodiment too Start of delay time and uplink calibration on End of the delay time take place.
  • a Reference antenna used as a common reference point for the reference signals from and to the antenna elements.
  • Fig. 1 shows a base station BS, which in the area of their supplied Radio cell Z with, by way of example, three mobile stations MS simultaneously connected.

  • TD-SCDMA Time Division-Synchron Code Division Multiple Access
  • TD-CDMA Time Division Code Division Multiple Access
  • TD-CDMA is a combination the multiple access component TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and is determined by the degrees of freedom frequency, time slot and code characterized.
  • TD-SCDMA differs from TD-CDMA by using a high-precision synchronization the received signals in the uplink. This will be the orthogonality the reception signals largely maintained, and thereby again, the detection properties are improved.
  • Radio communication system with intelligent antennas are antennas, with which a directional selectivity of a Base station BS emitted transmission signals leaves.
  • Smart antennas can be used electronically generate pivotable, strongly focusing propagation diagrams. This intelligent antennas reduce the angle of incidence for environmental detours of the transmission signals the mobile stations, reducing the interference. From the same base station BS thus different antenna lobes, which pivoted in different directions are at the same time the same frequency channel within one Use cell Z In addition, it increases with the same transmission power the range of a base station BS.
  • the smart antenna detects the base station BS the directions from which the mobile stations transmit MS and forms in their direction corresponding antenna lobes.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic of the signal flow in an uplink calibration represented by a smart group antenna, consisting of several antenna elements AE1 to AEN and one Reference antenna AR for calibration.
  • the arrows illustrate the different duration of a reference signal from a reference antenna AR to the antenna elements AE1 to AEN.
  • the recorded by each antenna element AE1 to AEN and optionally amplified reference signals digitized parallel to each other in analog-to-digital converters A / D.
  • the digitized values then become treated in parallel in a digital down-converter DDC.

It is not Oversampling the receive and transmit signal necessary to eliminate delay errors.
  • Digital up-converter DUC and digital down-converter DDC enable also tuning the amplitude of the transmission signals, because a faulty amplitude is the radiation shaping also affected.
  • a delay time a certain length to meet maturity differences the signals and data to be transmitted provided is.
  • the calibration measurements are found in this delay time, because at this time no other signals can influence the measurements.
