Definitions

  • the present invention is related to wireless communication systems using transmission diversity.
  • Transmission diversity basically entails sending the same signal over two or more antennas (usually two), where the antennas are spaced apart from each other. Diversity may be achieved in the frequency-, angle-, time- and space domains or in two or more domains simultaneously. For example, transmission diversity in the time domain may be achieved by sending a signal from a first antenna and thereafter sending the same signal from a second antenna with a predefined time delay. As another example, transmission diversity in the space domain is achieved by spacing apart the antennas from which the same signal is to be transmitted a certain length which may correspond to a fraction of the wavelength of the signal to be transmitted.
  • wireless communication systems such as third generation wireless communication systems, of which the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service) is one example, both space and time transmission diversity methods are used.
  • UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service
  • the required minimum delay is determined by calibration or calculation of the delay through the entire transmit chain, i.e. from the Radio Base Station (RBS) all the way to the antenna system.
  • RBS Radio Base Station
  • Time calibration for the signal may be carried out using several methods, such as by means of separate calibration equipment or calibration systems incorporated into the RBS.
  • the delay in each transmit chain may be calibrated for a minimum time difference of 30-60 ns.
  • the time delay for the first transmission chain is t1
  • the above delay values are example values and may differ from one application field to another. However, in each such application field there is an optimum time difference for which there is a signal gain achieved and outside of which the signal is attenuated instead.
  • delay determination for an antenna system may vary over time due to temperature variation in components along the transmission line. Also the ageing of the signal generating component in the transmitter may alter the initial delay in one or both branches may affect the delay balance. The characteristics of the above diplex filter may also be altered due to ageing. Yet another aspect is that replacing one or several components in the antenna system or in the signal generation parts will need recalibration of the system and thus measurements which originally were correct, may be misleading.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome at least some of the issues with known technology described above.

  • the transceiver device may further comprise a signal generator for generating a test signal in both of the at least one first and second transmission paths.
  • a test signal may for instance be a sine wave or some other suitable signal.
  • the transceiver device may comprise coupling elements for coupling the test signal into both of the at least one first and second transmission paths.
  • These coupling elements may, for example be switches for directing the test signal into both of the at least one first and second transmission paths
  • the coupling elements may be operated synchronously to direct the signal into the at least one first and second transmission path. This may be done at system start-up or some other appropriate time.
  • the signal generator may also be provided as external to the transceiver device described above.
  • the transceiver device may comprise a feedback loop for receiving the delay signal.
  • a device for receiving and transmitting electromagnetic signals in a wireless communication network where the device further comprises at least two transceivers for sending and receiving electromagnetic signals, the device being further arranged to receive signals on at least one first and second transmission path, characterised in that the device for receiving and transmitting electromagnetic signals further comprises a time difference meter for measuring a delay time being the arrival difference between the signals received on the at least one first and second transmission path.
  • the device may further comprise a signal amplifier for amplifying the signals received on the at least one first and second transmission path.
  • the signal amplifier may comprise the time difference meter.
  • the difference meter may equally be located externally in relation to the signal amplifier.
  • the signal amplifier described above may also comprise an interface for sending an error signal indicative of the measured delay between the signals received on the at least one first and second transmission paths to a control device.
  • an interface for sending an error signal indicative of the measured delay between the signals received on the at least one first and second transmission paths to a control device may also comprise an O&M- type (Operation & Maintenance) interface.
  • O&M- type Operaation & Maintenance
  • the error signal may also be sent directly sent to a control device without using the O&M-interface.
  • the signal amplifier may comprise a device for capturing a portion of the signals received on the at least one first and second transmission paths and for directing this portion to the time difference meter.
  • An advantage of the device for capturing a portion of the signals is that the time delay measurement for the two signals received may be performed on actual data signals with no disturbance to data traffic.
  • the signal amplifier may further comprise at least one filter for filtering out signals received on the at least one first and second transmission paths not used in the time difference meter.
  • One example where it would be advantageous to use such a filter is in so called co-located systems, such as for example a combination of a GSM- and a 3G- system. In this fashion, if one is interested in achieving optimum diversity for 3G-signals, the filters filter out disturbances from GSM signals corrupting time delay measurements for the two signals received.
  • the time difference meter may comprise an arrangement for receiving a portion of the signals received on the at least one first and second transmission paths.
  • a time difference meter may be a hybrid combiner for combining a received portion of the transmitted signals and for generating a relative error signal indicative of the delay between the received portions of the signals.
  • Using a hybrid combiner has the advantage of easily being able to determine magnitude of the phase delay between the two signals received when the signals are treated in the analog domain. Thus, in the case when both received signals are in phase, the hybrid combiner may output a "zero" level signal on one of its outputs.
  • phase detector may be digital or analogue.

  • the signal referred to in step a) of the method according to the present invention may be either a data signal or a test signal.
  • the above method steps may further comprise the steps of a1) generating the test signal a2) synchronously coupling the test signal into the at least one first and second transmission paths c1) determining the difference in arrival time between the test signals received on the at least one first and second transmission paths.
  • test signal would give a wider choice of signals suitable for delaying and for measuring the delay in arrival time, such as for example sine signals and other suitable signals.
  • signals suitable for delaying and for measuring the delay in arrival time such as for example sine signals and other suitable signals.
  • By inputting the signal synchronously into the at least one first and second transmission line would also give a much better control of the instant when the signal is launched.
  • the method may be further characterised in that the step of adjusting the transmission delay in at least one of the at least one first and second transmission paths is performed so as to minimise the error signal indicative of the difference in arrival times for the signals sent on the first and second transmission paths to a predefined value range.
  • the transmission delay according to experience may for example be located in the range of 10-90 ns, more preferably in the range of 20-80 ns and even more preferably in the range of 30-60 ns. It has been shown in certain fields of application that transmission delays in these ranges in certain application fields give a signal gain at a diversity receiver, while outside this range the signal gain achieved through transmission diversity decreases and even turns into signal loss.
