2. Description of the Related Art In a mobile communication such as a CDMA cellular system, when an adaptive array antenna is used for its base station, the adaptive array antenna has a weighting coefficient (weight) of each antenna element system circuit arranged in a plurality of arrays. By adaptively controlling the directional pattern in the uplink, the directional pattern having the directivity in the direction of arrival of the desired wave and the beam null in the direction of arrival of the interference wave is generated. The interference from the user is suppressed, and the signal can be received in a good signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) situation. In the downlink, by reusing the weights obtained in the uplink or estimating the arrival directions of the desired wave and the interference wave, a beam is formed in the desired user direction and a null beam is formed in the interference user direction. The formation has an advantage that a good signal-to-interference ratio can be maintained for each user.

In the antenna directivity control section 30, M
It is connected to a weighting control circuit based on the MSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) method, and performs beamforming control on a transmission signal or a reception signal input to and output from each antenna. Here, since the weighting control is performed by the baseband signal processing, even if an attempt is made to send each antenna in the same phase and the same amplitude in the transmission signal due to the radio section between the baseband processing section and the antenna, If there is a variation in the phase and the amplitude in the associated transmission unit, the desired in-phase and same-amplitude signals are not transmitted from each antenna. Further, even at the time of reception, even if the signals are received by the respective antennas with the same phase and the same amplitude, the weighting control in the base band cannot be accurately performed if there is variation in the phase and the amplitude between the receiving units associated with the respective antennas. Therefore, in each individual transmission / reception unit 20x, the phases and amplitudes of the transmission signal and the reception signal associated with each antenna system are adjusted to be equal to each other.

As in the first embodiment, when it is attempted to generate a reference signal in the baseband to the reference signal distribution section and the plurality of individual transmission / reception sections with one reference signal generation section, this one reference signal is generated. Since it is necessary to increase the output power of the generation unit, the configuration of this one reference signal generation unit and the control of the output power become somewhat difficult by that amount. By providing the reference signal generator, the output power of one reference signal generator can be reduced, and the configuration and the output power can be easily controlled. Other functions and effects are similar to those of the first embodiment.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the entire CDMA mobile communication base station apparatus of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of its individual transmission / reception unit, and FIG. 3 is a block in which a reception system circuit portion of the individual transmission / reception unit is extracted. It is a figure. The first embodiment is different from the conventional CDMA mobile communication base station apparatus shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, firstly, in this conventional example, reference signals to a plurality of individual transmission / reception units 20x are transmitted. Whereas the supply is only the baseband reference signal ref (BB), in the first embodiment, a plurality of individual transmission / reception units 20 are provided.
Supply of the reference signal to the reference signal ref of the radio frequency band
Both (RF) and the reference signal ref (BB) in the baseband are generated. Secondly, in order to have such a configuration, in the conventional example, a reference signal generator (not shown) is generated. While the baseband reference signal ref (BB) is directly supplied to each individual transmitting / receiving unit 20x, in the first embodiment, the reference of the baseband generated by one reference signal generator 50 is performed. The signal ref (BB) is supplied to each individual transmission / reception unit 20, and at the same time, the reference signal ref (BB) in the baseband is converted into a radio frequency band (by the frequency converter 61) to generate the radio frequency. A reference signal distribution unit 60 that distributes (by a distributor 62) the reference signal ref (RF) of the band to each individual transmission / reception unit 20 is provided. Thirdly, in the conventional individual transmission / reception unit 20x, Reference signal In the input section 25x, the reference signal ref (BB) in the base band is converted into the reference signal in the radio frequency band (fr) by the frequency converter 254, the level is set by the variable attenuator 252x, and the reference signal ref (BB) is introduced into the receiving system circuit. On the other hand, in the individual transmission / reception unit 20 of the first embodiment, the reference signal introduction unit 25 of the individual transmission / reception unit 20 sets the level of the supplied reference signal ref (RF) in the radio frequency band as it is in the variable attenuator 252. , Has been introduced to the receiving circuit,
There is a point. In addition, one reference signal generator 50,
A reference signal supply unit (not shown) is formed by the reference signal distribution unit 60.

With such a configuration, in the conventional example, depending on the type of the frequency converter 254, a signal of a radio frequency band (fr) of a relatively high level is routed to each individual transmitting / receiving section 20x, This may adversely affect the operation of each part, but in the first embodiment, there is no need for frequency conversion, and the reference signal introduction level may be about -20 dB with respect to the received signal level, so that each individual transmitter / receiver part. Reference signal ref of the radio frequency band supplied to 20
The level of (RF) can be significantly reduced as compared with the case of the conventional example, and the adverse effect on the operation of each part can be eliminated.

Further, in the conventional example, the level of the output signal of the frequency converter 254 is also high, and the variable attenuator 25 can be used to attenuate this signal to about -20 dB with respect to the received signal level.
The 2x attenuation amount also increases, and the error in the reference signal introduction level to the receiving system circuit also increases due to the error in the attenuation amount, which lowers the calibration accuracy. However, in the first embodiment, it is variable. Since the input signal level to the attenuator 252 is small, the amount of attenuation of the variable attenuator 252 can be made significantly smaller than that of the conventional example, and the error in the introduction level of the reference signal to the receiving system circuit can be reduced. It is possible to improve the calibration accuracy.
