DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an antenna system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the antenna system 10 in this embodiment may include: a first antenna array 11 and a second antenna array 12, where the first antenna array 11 is configured to form wide beam coverage, and the second antenna array 12 is configured to form narrow beam coverage. The first antenna array 11 includes at least one column of antennas, where each column of antennas provide at least one wide beam port 112; the second antenna array 12 includes at least two columns of antennas, and the second antenna array provides at least one narrow beam port 122.
FIG. 2 is an example of a schematic structural diagram of an antenna system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the antenna system 10 includes a first antenna array 11 and a second antenna array 12, where the first antenna array 11 includes one column of antennas 111 and provides a wide beam port 112; the second antenna array 12 includes four columns of antennas 121, and provides three narrow beam ports: 122a, 122b, and 122c. A narrow beam is led out through a narrow beam port.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a wide beam in an antenna system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, a wide beam formed by one column of antennas 111 of the first antenna array 11 in FIG. 2, that is, an omnidirectional beam, may cover a relatively large range. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a narrow beam in an antenna system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the four columns of antennas 121 of the second antenna array 12 in FIG. 2 form coverage of three narrow beams, which are respectively led out through the three narrow beam ports 122a, 122b and 122c of the second antenna array 12. A coverage range of each narrow beam is less than a coverage range of a wide beam. By using a technology of deploying close-spaced multi-column antennas, the second antenna array 12 splits a single beam into multiple beams to implement space division multiple access, thereby improving an antenna capacity.
The antenna system according to this embodiment includes a first antenna array configured to form a wide beam and a second antenna array configured to form a narrow beam. The first antenna array includes at least one column of antennas, where each column of antennas provide at least one wide beam port; the second antenna array includes at least two columns of antennas, and the second antenna array provides at least one narrow beam port. The wide beam formed by the antenna system is led out through the at least one wide beam port, and the narrow beam formed by the antenna system is led out through the at least one narrow beam port. In this way, a problem that close-spaced multi-column antennas can provide only a narrow beam is resolved, and a requirement that an antenna system should provide both a wide beam and a narrow beam is satisfied.
Further, on the basis of the antenna structure shown in FIG. 1, in the antenna system 10 according to this embodiment, an interval between the first antenna array 11 and the second antenna array 12 is greater than a column interval of the second antenna array 12, and/or, an isolation apparatus is disposed between the first antenna array 11 and the second antenna array 12, to reduce mutual coupling between the first antenna array 11 and the second antenna array 12. FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an antenna system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, on the basis of the antenna structure shown in FIG. 1, further, an isolation apparatus 21 is disposed between the first antenna array 11 and the second antenna array 12, where the isolation apparatus 21 is configured to reduce mutual coupling between the first antenna array 11 and the second antenna array 12, thereby ensuring beam quality of a wide beam. For example, the isolation apparatus 21 may be an isolation wall or an isolation plate, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
Further, when the first antenna array includes at least two columns of antennas, a column interval of the first antenna array is greater than the column interval of the second antenna array.
In this embodiment, the first antenna array forms wide beam coverage by setting a column interval of multiple columns of antennas of a first antenna array to be greater than a column interval of a second antenna array. A greater column interval of the first antenna array may reduce interference between the columns of antennas that provide the wide beam coverage.
FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of an antenna system according to a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, on the basis of the antenna structure shown in the foregoing two embodiments, the antenna system 10 according to this embodiment may further include a multi-beam forming device 31, where the multi-beam forming device 31 is connected to the second antenna array 12, the second antenna array 12 forms at least one narrow beam by using the multi-beam forming device 31, and the at least one narrow beam is led out through the narrow beam port 122.
In this embodiment, the second antenna array 12 is configured to form coverage of a narrow beam, where a specific direction, a specific coverage area, a specific quantity of beams, and the like of the narrow beam may be controlled by the multi-beam forming device 31. For example, the multi-beam forming device 31 may adjust parameters such as a phase and an amplitude of an antenna array, thereby forming coverage of multiple narrow beams.
In this embodiment, a multi-beam forming device is integrated into an antenna system, and no multi-beam forming device needs to be additionally configured for the antenna system; therefore, a function of forming wide and narrow beams by the antenna system becomes more intelligent. In addition, in the antenna system, a wide beam is led out through a wide beam port and a narrow beam is led out through a narrow beam port, so that the antenna system can provide only a wide beam or only a narrow beam as required, or provide both a wide beam and a narrow beam.
FIG. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of an antenna system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. On the basis of the antenna structure shown in FIG. 1, the antenna system 10 according to this embodiment may further include a multi-band combiner 41, where the multi-band combiner 41 is connected to a wide beam port and/or a narrow beam port, and the antenna system 10 combines signals of different frequency bands into a mixed signal by using the multi-band combiner 4 or divides the mixed signal into the signals of the different frequency bands.
In this embodiment, the multi-band combiner 41 may combine signals of different frequency bands into a mixed signal, or divide the mixed signal into the signals of the different frequency bands, so that the antenna system can perform processing on the signals of the different frequency bands simultaneously. For example, the antenna system can combine a signal of a frequency band supported by a GSM system and a signal of a frequency band supported by an LTE system, and feed a combined signal into the antenna system, thereby implementing processing of the two signals of the different frequency bands by the antenna system.
In this embodiment, a multi-band combiner is integrated into an antenna system, and a port for transmitting a mixed signal is directly provided for a radio frequency module, thereby simplifying a connection structure between the antenna system and the radio frequency module.
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the multi-band combiner 41 may be integrated into the antenna system and serve as a component of the antenna system, or may not be integrated into the antenna system, but serve as an independent structure, and be connected to the antenna system 10, which is not specifically limited herein.
