- a relationship between phases of the N 2 radio frequency signals sent by the horizontally polarized antenna array and the vertically polarized antenna array is directly configured by controlling phase shifters of each antenna sub-array of the horizontally polarized antenna array and phase shifters of each antenna sub-array of the vertically polarized antenna array through the controller of the phased antenna array without relying on a physical distance between the antenna arrays and an installation precision.
- the embodiment provides a microwave bipolar antenna array communication system. It should be understood that the microwave bipolar antenna array communication system in the embodiment may be deployed at a transmit end, may be deployed at a receive end, or may be directly deployed both the transmit end and the receive end. In a Frequency Division Dual (FDD) operating mode, the transmit end and the receive end are relative. That is, when transmitting a radio frequency signal to an opposite end, the transmit end also as the receive end receives a radio frequency signal sent by the opposite end. Therefore, the embodiment is described in an example where the transmit end and the receive end are respectively replaced with the local end and the opposite end (also referred to as a remote end).

- An antenna sub-array includes at least one antenna oscillator element and a phase shifter controlling the phase of the at least one antenna oscillator element.
- each antenna oscillator element i.e., a radiation unit
- each antenna oscillator element may use a phase shifter separately, or multiple antenna oscillator elements may share one phase shifter, which may be flexibly set according to specific requirements.
- an antenna sub-array is formed by multiple antenna oscillator elements, and each antenna oscillator element uses a phase shifter, that is, the antenna oscillator element is in one-to-one correspondence with the phase shifter.

- each vertically polarized radio frequency signal transmission device in each pair of microwave transmission devices is respectively connected to each antenna sub-array in the corresponding vertically polarized antenna array to send N 2 vertically polarized radio frequency signals to the opposite end.
- the controller of the phased antenna array is configured to configure a phase of a horizontally polarized radio frequency signal transmitted by each antenna sub-array of each horizontally polarized antenna array through the phase shifter of each antenna sub-array of each horizontally polarized antenna array, so as to make a phase difference of N 2 horizontally polarized radio frequency signals transmitted by one horizontally polarized antenna array meet the requirement of the N ⁇ N MIMO bipolar antenna array.
- the controller controls the phase shifter of each antenna sub-array of the vertically polarized antenna array to configure a phase of a vertically polarized radio frequency signal transmitted by each antenna sub-array, so as to make the phase difference of N 2 vertically polarized radio frequency signals transmitted by one vertically polarized antenna array meet the requirement of the N ⁇ N MIMO bipolar antenna array.
- the phase difference of N 2 horizontally polarized radio frequency signals transmitted by one horizontally polarized antenna array and the phase difference of N 2 vertically polarized radio frequency signals transmitted by one vertically polarized antenna array are determined according to the specific order of the N ⁇ N MIMO bipolar antenna array. The following is described with an example of a generalized monopole antenna array in conjunction with a channel matrix Vandermonde array.
- a Vandermonde array corresponding to the generalized 4 ⁇ 4 monopole antenna array (corresponding to the 8 ⁇ 8 MIMO dipolar antenna array) is as follow.
- the local end and the opposite end corresponds to the first row are a Tx 1 and an Rx 1
- four paths of Txs are required to reach the receive end antenna at intervals of ⁇ 4 (i.e., the phase difference) with respect to the Rx 1.
- Other high-order MIMO may be constructed according to this method.
- the phase difference is required to be ⁇ N
- the narrow-sense dipolar antenna array N ⁇ N MIMO converted from the generalized monopole antenna array N ⁇ N MIMO the phase difference is required to be 2 ⁇ ⁇ N .
- the controller configures a phase difference between each of horizontally polarized radio frequency signals transmitted by the antenna sub-arrays and each of horizontally polarized radio frequency signals transmitted by adjacent antenna sub-arrays in the horizontally polarized antenna array to be 2 ⁇ ⁇ N through the phase shifter of the each of the antenna sub-arrays in the horizontally polarized antenna array, the controller configures a phase difference between each of vertically polarized radio frequency signals transmitted by the antenna sub-arrays and each of horizontally polarized radio frequency signals transmitted by adjacent antenna sub-arrays in the vertically polarized antenna array to be 2 ⁇ ⁇ N through the phase shifter of the each of the antenna sub-arrays in the vertically polarized antennas array.
- the N 2 pairs of polarized antenna arrays may be disposed on an antenna bearing plate, which may simplify the installation procedure and improve the installation efficiency.
- Each of the N 2 pairs of polarized antenna arrays may be disposed on a respective antenna bearing plate according to the actual requirements, which may improve the flexibility of the antenna installation and application and meet more application scenarios.
- the controller may control the phase of the radio frequency signal transmitted by each antenna sub-array of each horizontally polarized antenna array or each vertically polarized antenna array in an open-loop control manner. That is, the controller may be configured according to the above process. The configured phase difference is finally used for facilitating the demodulation of the baseband digital signal in a modem.
- the system gain maximization may not be achieved merely considering the requirement of the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N phase difference between the local end and the remote end antennas, because, besides the phase difference between the antennas, the phase difference may be caused by a waveguide connector, a radio frequency cable and the like used between the microwave device radio frequency unit and the phased array antenna array.
- the radio frequency transceiving channels are separate from each other, which ensures the maximum gain of the MIMO demodulation.
- the phase of 2 ⁇ ⁇ N is first coarsely adjusted. That is, it is ensured that the corresponding horizontally polarized antenna array or vertically polarized antenna array between the local end and remote end antennas meets the requirement of the phase of 2 ⁇ ⁇ N . Then, it is expected that the system will operate in an MIMO mode.
- the controller is further configured to acquire a difference between the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N and a receive phase angle of a horizontally polarized antenna array corresponding to the opposite end for receiving the horizontally polarized radio frequency signal transmitted by each antenna sub-array of the horizontally polarized antenna array of the local end, and in response to determining that the difference between the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N and the receive phase angle is greater than a preset horizontally polarized phase angle offset threshold, adjust the phase of the horizontally polarized radio frequency signal transmitted by each antenna sub-array of the horizontally polarized antenna array according to the difference between the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N and the receive phase angle (which is a fine adjustment process on the phase difference) until the difference between the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N and the receive phase angle is less than or equal to the preset horizontally polarized phase angle offset threshold.
- the controller is further configured to acquire a difference between the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N and a receive phase angle of a vertically polarized antenna array corresponding to the opposite end for receiving the vertically polarized radio frequency signal transmitted by each antenna sub-array of the vertically polarized antenna array of the local end, and in response to determining that the difference between the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N and the receive phase angle is greater than a preset vertically polarized phase angle offset threshold, adjust the phase of the vertically polarized radio frequency signal transmitted by each antenna sub-array of the horizontally polarized antenna array according to the difference between the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N and the receive phase angle until the difference between the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N and the receive phase angle is less than or equal to the preset vertically polarized phase angle offset threshold.
- the difference between the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N and the receive phase angle may be calculated at the local end, or may be calculated at the opposite end, and the specific calculation manner may be any manner that may obtain the receive phase angle according to a performance index of the received signal or directly obtain the difference (i.e., a receive phase angle error) between the 2 ⁇ ⁇ N and the receive phase angle, which is not repeated herein.
- the phase shifter in the embodiment may be a discrete digital phase shifter or may be a non-discrete analog phase shifter.
- the controller may use a stepping adjustment manner. The adjustment is performed again after the opposite end updates its receiver MIMO performance index again, and the adjustment stops when the performance index fed back by the remote end reaches a certain threshold range. At this moment, it is considered that the closed-loop phase adjustment process of the MIMO system is completed. Since the transceiving channel is reciprocal, after the local end is adjusted, the link from the opposite end to the local end is adjusted by default, and the MIMO system enters a long-term stable operating state.
- the controller may also adjust its transmit power before or after configuring its phase. The adjustment process is described below.
- transmit power of the horizontally polarized antenna array For each horizontally polarized antenna array, transmit power of the horizontally polarized antenna array, receive power of a horizontally polarized antenna array corresponding to the opposite end and a difference of a path insertion loss to the opposite end are acquired as a horizontally polarized power difference.
- a main lobe radiation angle of the horizontally polarized antenna array is adjusted until the horizontally polarized power difference is less than or equal to the preset horizontally polarized power difference threshold.
- the transmit power of the horizontally polarized antenna array of the local end may be directly adjusted to achieve the above effect.
- the transmit power of the horizontally polarized antenna array may also be adjusted by combining these two manners or from other aspects as long as the above effect is achieved.
- transmit power of the vertically polarized antenna array For each vertically polarized antenna array, transmit power of the vertically polarized antenna array, receive power of a vertically polarized antenna array corresponding to the opposite end and a difference of a path insertion loss to the opposite end are acquired as a vertically polarized power difference.
- a main lobe radiation angle of the vertically polarized antenna array is adjusted until the vertically polarized power difference is less than or equal to the preset vertically polarized power difference threshold.
- the transmit power of the vertically polarized antenna array of the local end may be directly adjusted to achieve the above effect.
- the transmit power of the vertically polarized antenna array may also be adjusted by combining these two manners or from other aspects as long as the above effect is achieved.
- the above power adjustment process may be directly skipped in a case where the initial power is set well, or the power may be adjusted in real time in the subsequent operating process.
- the specific value of the various thresholds in the embodiment may be flexibly chosen according to specific communication environment requirement.
- the embodiment directly connects each horizontally polarized radio frequency signal transmission device in the microwave transmission device to each sub-array of a corresponding horizontally polarized antenna array in the phased antenna array respectively to transmit a horizontally polarized radio frequency signal to the opposite end and connects each vertically polarized radio frequency signal transmission device to each sub-array of a corresponding vertically polarized antenna array to transmit a vertically polarized radio frequency signal to the opposite end by replacing a related double-side bipolar antenna with a phased antenna array, configures a relationship between phases of radio frequency signals transmitted by the horizontally polarized antenna array and vertically polarized antenna array by directly controlling the phase shifter of each sub-array of the horizontally polarized antenna array and the phase shifter of each sub-array of the vertically polarized antenna array through the controller of the phased antenna array, and sends corresponding signals to the opposite end through each antenna sub-array of the corresponding horizontally polarized antenna array and each antenna sub-array of the corresponding vertically polarized
- the horizontally polarized antenna array and the vertically polarized antenna array of the phased array antenna array are generally defined as being formed by a group of independent antenna oscillator elements, and relative amplitude and phase relationships may be ensured through related circuit design, so that a target of focusing and forming in a certain expected direction is achieved, and compared with other directions, the energy radiated by electric waves is greatly reduced (suppressed).
- Any antenna oscillator element is separately controllable and uniformly distributed on a straight line. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 , a row of six antenna oscillator elements are distributed on a straight line, the antenna oscillator elements sequentially radiate from right to left, and finally, an electric wave with its wave front having a phase angle may be formed. That is, the main lobe radiation angle may be adjusted through programmed radiation delay. Therefore, for a phased array antenna, the phased antenna array has a capability of adjusting the main lobe radiation direction.
- FIG. 4 An implementation manner of an antenna sub-array of the horizontally polarized antenna array and the vertically polarized antenna array is shown in FIG. 4 .
- a sum of field strength vectors of all antenna oscillator elements at a certain point of a radiation field in a far region in the ⁇ direction is calculated according to a formula described below.
- E ⁇ E 0 + E 1 + ⁇ + E i + ⁇ + E N ⁇ 1
- each antenna oscillator element is fed with the equal amplitude
- the radiation field strength of each antenna oscillator element at this point is characterized as the following formula (using the antenna oscillator element No. 0 in FIG. 4 as a phase reference).
- the embodiment is described in an example in which the local end is the site 1 and the opposite end is the site 2, as shown in FIG. 5-1 .
- the microwave bipolar antenna array communication systems are correspondingly set at the local end and the opposite end in FIG. 5 .
- V0 and H0 form a pair of microwave transmission device, where V0 is a horizontally polarized radio frequency signal transmission device and H0 is a vertically polarized radio frequency signal transmission device.
- a total of N pairs of microwave transmission devices, V0+H0, ..., and VN+HN are at each end.
- N pairs of polarized antenna arrays are disposed on an antenna bearing plate 1 at each end.
- Each pair of polarized antenna arrays is composed of a horizontally polarized antenna array 21 and a vertically polarized antenna array 20.
- a bipolar antenna array 2N ⁇ 2N MIMO is implemented.
- the iron tower installation schematic diagram is shown in FIG. 5-2 .
- the physical distances between antennas are not precisely measured and the antennas are not installed, which is different from the related double-side polarized antenna.
- the phase difference of the antennas is mainly achieved through the control of phase shifter. Therefore, the practicability and reliability of the MIMO antenna system may be improved.
- the horizontally polarized antenna array receives and transmits the corresponding horizontally polarized radio frequency signal
- the vertically polarized antenna array receives and transmits the corresponding vertically polarized radio frequency signal.
- the vertical and horizontal relationships in the figure are relative to the ground plane.
- the corresponding geometric combination relationship of array units needs to be designed according to the operating frequency band, the antenna gain and the like in the practical implementation of the phased array, which is not necessarily the topology shown in FIG. 5-1 that is only an example to facilitate the description.
- the antenna bearing plate 1 is mounted on the iron tower (the holding pole) through a bracket or a structural member.
- the phase shifter and the controller are integrated in the antenna bearing plate 1.
- the corresponding radiation beam phase adjustment and beam forming may be completed through the corresponding algorithm or software, so as to meet the requirements of LoS MIMO on the transmission channel matrix, thereby improving in multiples the transmission capacity and the performance.
- each horizontally polarized antenna array 21 and each vertically polarized antenna array 21 include two antenna sub-arrays.
- the black micro rectangular module represents the antenna oscillator element.
- the antenna oscillator element may be various types of elements, such as an antenna radiation element surface-mounted with a low-cost flame resistance rating (FR) 4 printed circuit board (PCB).
- FR flame resistance rating
- PCB printed circuit board
- the two pairs of horizontally polarized antenna arrays 21 and vertically polarized antenna arrays 20 are respectively connected to the corresponding V0, H0, V1 and H1.
- Both the horizontally polarized antenna array 21 and the vertically polarized antenna array 20 include two antenna sub-arrays.
- Each antenna oscillator element of each antenna sub-array corresponds to a phase shifter (not shown), and each phase shifter is connected to the controller.
- the controller completes the self-adaptive processing on the radiation main lobe and power for the four paths of signals. Specifically, the phase and the gain of each radiation element in any one antenna array in four paths of signals need to be correspondingly set.
- a corresponding space distance between dipolar antennas needs to be calculated according to the operating frequency of the device and the spacing between one-hop microwave links through a corresponding theoretical formula, and then the dual-polarized parabolic antennas are installed on the iron tower (the holding pole) at this space distance.
- the horizontally polarized antenna array 21 and the vertically polarized antenna array 20 are both fixed on the antenna bearing plate 1, the physical form of the antenna arrays is fixed, and the radio frequency signal spacing relationship in the same polarization direction is fixed. Therefore, the problem of the remote antenna feeder does not need to be particularly considered when the phased antenna array is used.
- the MIMO transmission channel may be constructed through the electrically-adjusted phased array for different frequencies and communication distances.
- the baseband since specific calculation of antenna layout is avoided, for the application of integrated whole-city external device and the like, an overlong MIMO mutual transmission channel between devices is avoided, thereby greatly reducing the device complexity and reducing the product cost (EMC, lightning protection and the like).
- the MIMO device may get rid of the conventional installation with high difficulty and high precision, so that the MIMO device may be rapidly deployed.
- the related one-hop communication distance and frequency points are configured to automatically perform the related phase shift and MIMO transmission channel implementation through the controller after entering the device.
- FIG. 8 An example of the specific implementation of each horizontally polarized antenna array 21 and vertically polarized antenna array 20 is shown in FIG. 8.
- FIG. 8 exemplarily illustrates the implementation of the vertically polarized antenna array 20.
- the antenna oscillator elements in the two antenna sub-arrays 201 and 202 and the connection of the antenna oscillator elements and phase shifters (PS) to power dividers are shown in FIG. 8 .
- the controller determines a corresponding phase shift value.
- a pre-stage power adjustment module completes the power control of each path of beam forming.
- the local end RF Tx Lo provides an antenna local oscillator to a lower half array through the phase shift by 90° after the power division.
- the implementation of the horizontally polarized antenna array 21 is similar to the method shown in FIG. 8 .
- any one vertically polarized antenna array 21 is divided into two antenna sub-arrays with the same polarization, which are respectively the antenna sub-array in a radiation lobe 021, which corresponds to the receive array V0 path of the opposite site 2, and the antenna sub-array in a radiation lobe 121, which corresponds to the receiving array site V1 path of the opposite site 2.
- the V0 path and V1 path at the opposite end are two groups of independent vertically polarized antenna array unit groups, which are distributed and designed according to fixed positions in the integrated antenna, so that corresponding main lobe focusing and alignment may be implemented by performing beam forming control on two antenna sub-arrays in the V0 path of the local end.
- the most important 90° phase required by the maximum MIMO channel transmission capacity may also be set through the automatic electric regulation in the phased antenna array.
- the example here requires that the radiation lobe 021 is 90° ahead of the radiation lobe 121, so as to meet the antenna spacing requirement in the conventional dual-polarized MIMO (the remaining H0, H1 and V1 at the local end also have two antenna sub-arrays, whose physical requirements on the lobe of the corresponding array radiated to the opposite site 2 are consistent with the behavior relationship of VO).
- the LoS MIMO operating necessary condition in the conventional solution an 90° electric wave transmission path phase difference implemented through spatial arrangement, is implemented through the phase shifter in the phased antenna array, and this phase shift relationship may be adjusted and finely adjusted in real time according to the requirements of users, so that the engineering installation of the LoS MIMO antenna of the microwave device becomes a job as simple as the conventional single-polarized 1+0 single-polarization microwave.
- the control of the power and the phase of each horizontally polarized antenna array 21 and vertically polarized antenna array 20 reference is made to steps shown in FIG. 10 .
- step S1001 assuming that the one-hop spacing D and the frequency point F between the local end and the opposite end have been determined, the transmit power Ptx (x may be V0, H0, V1 and HI) corresponding to each polarized antenna array (two horizontally polarized antenna arrays 21 and two vertically polarized antenna arrays 20 corresponding to V0, H0, V1 and H1) and the path insertion loss Ld from the local end to the opposite end are acquired, and the corresponding power difference threshold is set (each horizontally polarized antenna array 21 and each vertically polarized antenna array 20 may be provided with a preset horizontally polarized power difference threshold and a preset vertically polarized power difference threshold respectively, and of course may use the same power difference threshold).
- step S1002 the receive power Prx (x may be V0, H0, V1 and H1) corresponding to each polarized antenna array (two horizontally polarized antenna arrays 21 and two vertically polarized antenna arrays 20 corresponding to V0, H0, V1 and H1,) is acquired after the opposite end antenna is manually aligned.
- This step may be performed simultaneously with step S1001.
- step S1003 it is decided whether Ptx-Ld-Prx is less than or equal to the power difference threshold; if yes, go to step S1005; if no, go to step S1004.
- step S1004 a main lobe radiation angle of the polarized antenna array corresponding to the Ptx is adjusted until Ptx-Ld-Prx is less than or equal to the power difference threshold; and go to step S1005.
- step S1005 after the current Ptx main lobe adjustment is completed, go to step S1003 to traverse the next polarized antenna array until all polarized antenna arrays are traversed.
- step S1006 the phase shifter in each polarized antenna array is adjusted to ensure the 90° phase shift between receive antenna sub-arrays of the opposite end.
- the one-hop 4 ⁇ 4 LoS MIMO completes the phased array antenna configuration at the local end, and the corresponding phased array antenna configuration at the opposite end is also completed, so as to ensure that each path of transmitted signals of the local end meets the requirement of the 90° phase difference for constructing the maximum transmission channel after reaching the opposite end.
- the baseband MIMO processing function is started, and a receiver system of the opposite end completes the baseband operation and processing of capturing, synchronizing and locking and then completes the normal receiving and demodulation of each path of data, thereby doubling the transmission capacity.
- the processing mechanisms from the opposite end to the local end are consistent with the mechanism described above, which will not be repeated herein.
- the embodiment provides a closed-loop precise control process.
- the closed-loop control is particularly applicable to for different one-hop communication distances and device operating frequency bands.
- the embodiment uses the bipolar antenna array 4 ⁇ 4 MIMO as an example.
- the baseband is equivalent to a receiver structure with a path of main path signal and three paths of slave path signals.
- the V0 path reception of Rx0 shown in FIG. 11 as an illustration object, after H0, V1 and H1 paths are filtered in the main received signal, the data of the V0 path may be recovered and then be correctly demodulated.
- FIG. 11 is a 4 ⁇ 4 MIMO, and if H0 and H1 in FIG. 11 are removed first, it becomes a case of the 2 ⁇ 2 MIMO in the single polarization.
- the MIMO demodulation is to estimate the ⁇ 0, then to send this angle ⁇ 0 to the transmit side by a closed-loop control channel, and to dynamically adjust by a transmitter the phase to adjust the ⁇ 0 to about 90°.
- the similar processing is performed on the ⁇ 1.
- the ⁇ angle herein is the phase angle difference, and ideally corresponds to 90° required in the case of 4 ⁇ 4 MIMO described above. Since the phase difference is finally used for facilitating the demodulation of the baseband digital signal in a modem, the system gain maximization may not be achieved only considering the requirement of the 90° phase difference between the local end and the remote end antennas, because besides the phase difference between the antennas, the phase difference may be caused by the waveguide connector, the radio frequency cable and the like used between the microwave device radio frequency unit and the phased array antenna array.
- the radio frequency transceiving channels are separate from each other, which ensures the maximum gain of the MIMO demodulation.
- the phase difference may also be adaptively adjusted through a feedback loop.
- the coarse adjustment of the 90° phase is first completed according to the configuration in the device user interface. That is, it is ensured that the corresponding array unit group between the local end and the opposite end antennas meets the 90° phase requirement. It is then contemplated that the system will operate in the MIMO mode. Because the system index is not optimal, the closed-loop phase fine adjustment process is started, and the link establishment of a closed-loop control channel is performed in a one-hop interval according to a lower modulation mode (such as the quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and the like requiring a lower signal-noise ratio (SNR)).
- a lower modulation mode such as the quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and the like requiring a lower signal-noise ratio (SNR)
- the error between the phase angle received by the opposite end and the ideal angle may be estimated (the specific algorithm may be any related error estimation algorithm, and the details are not repeated herein).
- the observable indicators include mean square error (MSE) and forward error correction (FEC) decoding conditions.
- MSE mean square error
- FEC forward error correction
- the error is sent to the local end through the established closed-loop control channel, and the actual phase condition of the receiver at the opposite end is calculated according to the error distribution condition after the error is received by the local end.
- the phase shift angle of the corresponding array unit group is adjusted by notifying the phased array antenna control module of the local end by transmitting a specific phase regulation instruction. Since the circuit structure shown in FIG.
- phase adjustments are electrically adjustable, and the phase shift relationship may correspond to a specific circuit.
- a stepping mode may be used.
- the adjustment is performed again. If the performance index fed back by the opposite end reaches a certain threshold range, the adjustment is stopped, and it is considered that the closed-loop phase adjustment process of the MIMO system is completed. Since the transceiving channel is reciprocal, after the local end is adjusted, the link from the opposite end to the local end is adjusted by default, and the LoS MIMO system enters a long-term stable operating state.
- step S1201 assuming that the one-hop spacing D and the frequency point F between the local end and the opposite end have been determined, the transmit power Ptx (x may be V0, H0, V1 and HI) corresponding to each polarized antenna array (two horizontally polarized antenna arrays 21 and two vertically polarized antenna arrays 20 corresponding to V0, H0, V1 and HI) and the path insertion loss Ld from the local end to the opposite end are acquired, and the corresponding power difference threshold is set (each horizontally polarized antenna array 21 and each vertically polarized antenna array 20 may be provided with a preset horizontally polarized power difference threshold and a preset vertically polarized power difference threshold respectively, and of course may use the same power difference threshold).
- the receive power Prx (x may be V0, H0, V1 and H1) corresponding to each polarized antenna array (two horizontally polarized antenna arrays 21 and two vertically polarized antenna arrays 20 corresponding to V0, H0, V1 and H1,) is acquired after the opposite end antenna is manually aligned.
- step S1203 it is decided whether Ptx-Ld-Prx is less than or equal to the power difference threshold; if yes, go to step S1205; if no, go to step S1204.
- step S1204 a main lobe radiation angle of the polarized antenna array corresponding to the Ptx is adjusted until Ptx-Ld-Prx is less than or equal to the power difference threshold; and go to step S1205.
- step S1205 after the current Ptx main lobe adjustment is completed, go to step S1203 to traverse the next polarized antenna array until all polarized antenna arrays are traversed.
- step S1206 the phase shifter in each polarized antenna array is adjusted to ensure the 90° phase shift between receive antenna sub-arrays of the opposite end.
- step S1207 the local end and the opposite end force the modulation mode to a preset modulation mode (such as the QPSK), and enable the closed-loop control channel.
- a preset modulation mode such as the QPSK
- step S1208 the Prx performs 90° phase shift fine adjustment on each polarized antenna array until the phase angle estimation error of each polarized antenna array is less than or equal to a set threshold, and the MSE reaches the MIMO threshold.
- step S1209 the local end and the opposite end change the modulation mode back to the original user configuration mode, and enter the stable operation.
- the phase difference self-adaptive adjustment of the feedback loop provided by the embodiment may further improve the antenna performance, and ensure the MIMO antenna array reliability.
- the phase is configured based on the above process, that is, signals may be sent to the opposite end, so that the engineering cost and the installation difficulty may be reduced, the antenna performance reliability may be improved, and the antenna may exert the advantages of the MIMO antenna.
- each of the modules or steps in the embodiments of the present invention described above may be implemented by a general-purpose computing apparatus, the modules or steps may be concentrated on a single computing apparatus or distributed on a network composed of multiple computing apparatuses, and alternatively, the modules or steps may be implemented by program codes executable by the computing apparatuses, so that the modules or steps may be stored in a computer storage medium (such as a ROM/RAM, a magnetic disk or an optical disk) and executed by the computing apparatuses.
- a computer storage medium such as a ROM/RAM, a magnetic disk or an optical disk
- the illustrated or described steps may be executed in sequences different from those described herein, or the modules or steps may be made into various integrated circuit modules separately, or multiple modules or steps therein may be made into a single integrated circuit module for implementation.
- the horizontally polarized antenna array and the vertically polarized antenna array of a pair of polarized antenna arrays may be disposed on an antenna bearing plate.
- the original N ⁇ N antenna array is decomposed into physically independent minimum units according to the requirements of XPIC group which includes a pair of polarized antenna arrays (i.e. a horizontally polarized antenna array and a vertically polarized antenna array). As shown in FIG.
- a horizontally polarized antenna array and a vertically polarized antenna array are included.
- the operating frequency band of 15G and the one-hop communication distance of 5 km are still used as an example (see FIG. 6 ).
- the distance between the dual-polarized antennas is theoretically required to be 7.07 m.
- the double-side minimum phased antenna array is installed at a distance of 1 m, and since it is not installed at the ideal 7-m ideal distance, the 90° phase adjustment and device described in Embodiment two needs to be first performed on the double-side phased array antenna. As shown in FIG.
- the phase difference finally appearing at the receive end may be a random angle within a certain range around 90°.
- the closed-loop phase adjustment described in Embodiment three is performed, and the phase between the local end and the radiation array unit corresponding to the opposite end is automatically adjusted and finely adjusted.
- the random antenna distance (determined by the user according to specific installation conditions) has no influence on the dipolar antenna MIMO system in the embodiment, and the system will be automatically adjusted and converge to the optimal operating state.
- the minimum phased antenna array shown in FIG. 13 may also flexibly construct 2+0, 2+2, 1+0 and other microwave applications when the MIMO application is not performed, which makes its size more compact and the weight lighter, thereby further optimizing the engineering installation.
- each horizontally polarized radio frequency signal transmission device in a microwave transmission device is directly connected to each antenna sub-array of a corresponding horizontally polarized antenna array in the phased antenna array respectively to send N 2 horizontally polarized radio frequency signals to an opposite end
- each vertically polarized radio frequency signal transmission device is connected to each antenna sub-array of a corresponding vertically polarized antenna array respectively to send N 2 vertically polarized radio frequency signals to the opposite end
- a relationship between phases of the N 2 radio frequency signals sent by the horizontally polarized antenna array and the vertically polarized antenna array is directly configured by controlling the phase shifter of each antenna sub-array of the horizontally polarized antenna array and the phase shifter of each antenna sub-array of the vertically polarized antenna array through the controller of the phased antenna array without relying on a physical distance between the antenna array
