电调天线是一种使用电子调整下倾角度的天线。电调天线的原理是通过改变共线阵天线振子的相位、垂直和水平分量的幅值大小以及合成分量场强强度,从而调整天线的垂直方向性图的下倾角度,达到调节天线的覆盖范围的效果。连接在基站之外的电调天线的下倾角度可以通过设置在基站内部的远程电调单元RET进行调节。本发明实施例提供的方法,对应RET中的移相器的传动杆设置一个机械式常开开关,通过控制移相器的传动杆来带动机械式常开开关的动触点,利用RET中已有的传动结构控制机械式常开开关的闭合。由于机械式常开开关为机械构件,端口间隔离度较大,不容易对基站信号造成干扰,不会造成互调失真,且机械构件的可靠性比非线性元件更高;同时,本发明实施例中的开关组件不需要为机械式常开开关的动触点设置专用传动结构,减小了开关组件的尺寸,降低安装难度。
综上所述,本发明实施例提供的开关组件,通过使用基站中已经设置的远程电调单元的移相器作为机械式常开开关的传动机构,将机械式常开开关的动触点设置为与移相器的传动杆随动,控制器在接收用于指示控制器控制机械式常开开关闭合的操作指令后,向移相器发送控制指令,移相器根据控制命令驱动传动杆,使动触点移动至指定位置,触发机械式常开开关闭合,由于机械式常开开关为机械构件,且不需要为机械式常开开关的动触点设置专用传动结构,减小了开关组件的尺寸,解决了现有技术中集成半导体芯片式射频开关为非线性元件而导致的对基站信号造成干扰的问题以及继电器式开关体积较大而导致的安装较为困难的问题,达到在避免对基站信号造成干扰的同时降低安装难度的效果。
请参考图2,其示出了本发明另一实施例提供的开关组件的结构图。所述开关组件可以用于包含有RET的基站中,以该开关组件用于在对基站外接的电调天线做内部测试时,接通或者断开信号源和电调天线的天线阵列之间的连接为例,该开关组件包括:机械式常开开关202、动触点204和控制器206;
所述控制器206与所述远程电调单元的移相器208相连,所述动触点204设置为与所述移相器208的传动杆2082随动,当所述动触点204达到指定位置时,触发所述机械式常开开关202闭合;
所述控制器206,用于接收操作指令,所述操作指令用于指示所述控制器206控制所述机械式常开开关202闭合;
所述控制器206,用于向所述移相器208发送控制指令;
所述移相器208,用于接收所述控制指令,根据所述控制命令驱动所述传动杆2082,以使所述动触点204移动至所述指定位置。
电调天线是一种使用电子调整下倾角度的天线。电调天线的原理是通过改变共线阵天线振子的相位、垂直和水平分量的幅值大小以及合成分量场强强度,从而调整天线的垂直方向性图的下倾角度,达到调节天线的覆盖范围的效果。连接在基站之外的电调天线的下倾角度可以通过设置在基站内部的远程电调单元RET进行调节。
以该机械式常开开关通过弹性金属刀片断开或者闭合为例,弹性金属刀片设置在动触点的移动路径上,动触点移动时可以触动该弹性金属刀片,当动触点移动至某一个指定位置时,可以使弹性金属刀片接通开关两端,当动触点从该指定位置离开时,弹性金属刀片又恢复原状,使开关断开。
本发明实施例提供的开关组件,对应RET中的移相器的传动杆设置一个机械式常开开关,通过控制移相器的传动杆来带动机械式常开开关的动触点,利用RET中已有的传动结构控制机械式常开开关的闭合。由于机械式常开开关为机械构件,端口间隔离度较大,不容易对基站信号造成干扰,不会造成互调失真,且机械构件的可靠性比非线性元件更高;同时,本发明实施例中的开关组件不需要为机械式常开开关的动触点设置专用传动结构,减小了开关组件的尺寸,降低安装难度。
其中,该控制命令为校准命令;控制器206,用于根据AISG(Antenna Interface Standards Group,天线接口标准组织)协议向移相器208发送该校准命令。
由于RET的移相器原本就支持AISG协议,因此,本发明实施例中控制器可以根据其原本支持的协议控制移相器,不需要再开发专门的控制命令,只需要设置已有的校准命令中的参数即可以达到控制开关闭合的目的,进一步简化开发和部署的难度。
所述移相器208,用于当所述控制指令为第一控制指令时,根据所述第一控制指令驱动所述传动杆2082行走至最大行程。其中,当所述传动杆处于最大行程时,所述动触点处于所述指定位置。
或者,所述移相器208,用于当所述控制指令为第二控制指令时,根据所述第二控制指令驱动所述传动杆2082行走至最小行程。其中,当所述传动杆处于最小行程时,所述动触点处于所述指定位置。
其中,移相器除了控制常开开关的断开和闭合之外,还用于控制天线垂直方向性图的下倾角度,因此,需要将移相器控制机械式常开开关闭合时传动杆的行程设置在移相器控制天线垂直方向性图的下倾角度是传动杆的行程范围之外,以避免移相器在控制天线垂直方向性图的下倾角度时使机械式常开开关闭合而导致的故障。具体的,可以设置当移相器控制传动杆行走至最大行程或者最小行程时,动触点随动至指定位置。以该机械式常开开关通过弹性金属刀片断开或者闭合为例,如图3所示的一种传动杆行程示意图,当移相器控制传动杆行走至最大行程时,动触点随动至指定位置,触发机械式常开开关闭合;或者,如图4所示的另一种传动杆行程示意图,当移相器控制传动杆行走至最小行程时,动触点随动至指定位置,触发机械式常开开关闭合。
其中,所述基站对应有天线阵列210,所述天线阵列210与馈线线路212一端相连,所述馈线线路212的另一端包含的N个端口分别与所述基站中的N个远程电调单元RET相连,N≥2;所述机械式常开开关202的一端通过耦合器214接入所述天线阵列210与所述馈线线路212相连的端口,所述机械式常开开关202的另一端与信号源216相连;当所述机械式常开开关202闭合时,所述信号源216产生的信号由所述天线阵列210与所述馈线线路212相连接的端口发送至所述馈线线路212;
所述控制器206,用于在向所述移相器208发送控制指令之后,获取所述馈线线路212与所述N个远程电调单元相连接的各个端口处的底噪检测信息,根据所述底噪检测信息确定与所述天线阵列210相对应的远程电调单元。
如图5所示电调天线测试示意图,基站外接N个天线阵列,每个天线阵列 对应一个RET,各个天线阵列与RET之间的对应关系未知,每个天线阵列通过耦合器与一个开关单元连接,各个开关单元与同一信号源连接,且各个开关单元由同一控制器进行控制。开关单元由机械式常开开关、动触点和移相器组成。每个天线阵列对应的机械式常开开关分别设置在不同的RET的移相器一侧,动触点设置于传动杆顶端,各个移相器与各个天线阵列的机械式常开开关之间的关系已知。需要说明的是,这里已知的移相器与天线阵列之间的关系不是RET与该RET控制垂直方向性图的下倾角度的天线阵列之间的对应关系,即该RET中的移相器可以控制该天线阵列对应的机械式常开开关闭合,但不一定可以控制该天线阵列的垂直方向性图的下倾角度。
当运维人员需要确定某个天线阵列的对应的RET时,向控制器发送对应的测试指令,控制器根据该测试指令向该天线阵列对应的开关组件中的移相器发送控制命令,比如,当运维人员需要确定图5中天线阵列1对应的RET时,通过可视化测试界面选择测试天线阵列1,控制器向该天线阵列1对应的移相器发送控制命令,移相器接收到控制命令1后,驱动动触点移动至指定位置,使对应的机械式常开开关闭合,接通天线阵列1与信号源之间的连接,信号源发出的信号通过耦合器进入馈线线路,引起馈线线路另一侧对应的端口处的底噪(即背景噪声)发生改变,基站侧接收机对从馈线线路各个端口处接收到的信号进行底噪测试,控制器获取各个端口处的底噪测试信息,将底噪发生相应变化的端口对应的RET确定为该天线阵列1对应的RET。
综上所述,本发明实施例提供的开关组件,通过使用基站中已经设置的远程电调单元的移相器作为机械式常开开关的传动机构,将机械式常开开关的动触点设置为与移相器的传动杆随动,控制器在接收用于指示控制器控制机械式常开开关闭合的操作指令后,向移相器发送控制指令,移相器根据控制命令驱动传动杆,使动触点移动至指定位置,触发机械式常开开关闭合,由于机械式常开开关为机械构件,且不需要为机械式常开开关的动触点设置专用传动结构,减小了开关组件的尺寸,解决了现有技术中集成半导体芯片式射频开关为非线性元件而导致的对基站信号造成干扰的问题以及继电器式开关体积较大而导致的安装较为困难的问题,达到在避免对基站信号造成干扰的同时降低安装难度的效果。
另外,本发明实施例提供的开关组件,通过向移相器发送ASIG校准命令,以控制动触点移动,从而控制常开开关断开或者闭合,达到进一步简化开发和 部署的难度的效果。
最后,本发明实施例提供的开关组件,移相器根据控制指令驱动传动杆行走至最大行程或者最小行程时,与传动杆随动的动触点才触动开关闭合,避免发生在天线阵列正常调整垂直方向性图的下倾角度时可能造成机械式常开开关被出发闭合的事故。
请参考图6,其示出了本发明一个实施例提供的开关组件控制方法的方法流程图。该方法可以用于如图1或图2所示的开关组件中控制机械式常开开关的闭合,该开关组件用于包含有远程电调单元的基站中。该天线测试方法可以包括:
步骤302,控制器接收操作指令,该操作指令用于指示该控制器控制该机械式常开开关闭合;
步骤304,控制器向移相器发送控制指令,该控制指令用于指示移相器驱动该传动杆,以使该动触点移动至指定位置。
其中,开关组件包括:机械式常开开关、动触点和控制器;控制器与远程电调单元的移相器相连,动触点设置为与移相器的传动杆随动,当动触点达到指定位置时,触发机械式常开开关闭合。
综上所述,本发明实施例提供的开关组件控制方法,通过向基站中已有的RET的移相器发送控制指令,由移相器驱动传动杆,使与传动杆随动的动触点移动至指定位置触发机械式常开开关闭合,由于机械式常开开关为机械构件,且不需要为机械式常开开关的动触点设置专用传动结构,减小了开关组件的尺寸,解决了现有技术中集成半导体芯片式射频开关为非线性元件而导致的对基站信号造成干扰的问题以及继电器式开关体积较大而导致的安装较为困难的问题,达到在避免对基站信号造成干扰的同时降低安装难度的效果。
请参考图7,其示出了本发明另一实施例提供的开关组件控制方法的方法流程图。该方法可以用于如图1或图2所示的开关组件中控制机械式常开开关的闭合,该开关组件用于包含有远程电调单元的基站中。以该开关组件用于在对基站外接的电调天线做内部测试时,接通或者断开信号源和电调天线的天线阵列之间的连接为例,该天线测试方法可以包括:
步骤402,控制器接收操作指令,该操作指令用于指示该控制器控制该机 械式常开开关闭合;
其中,开关组件包括:机械式常开开关、动触点和控制器;控制器与远程电调单元的移相器相连,动触点设置为与移相器的传动杆随动,当动触点达到指定位置时,触发机械式常开开关闭合。
步骤404,控制器向移相器发送控制指令,该控制指令用于指示移相器驱动该传动杆,以使该动触点移动至指定位置;
该控制指令为该校准命令,控制器根据天线接口标准组织AISG协议向该移相器发送该校准命令。
由于RET的移相器原本就支持AISG协议,因此,本发明实施例中控制器可以根据其原本支持的协议控制移相器,不需要再开发专门的控制命令,只需要设置已有的校准命令中的参数即可以达到控制开关闭合的目的,进一步简化开发和部署的难度。
控制器向该移相器发送第一控制指令,该第一控制指令用于指示该移相器驱动该传动杆行走至最大行程;其中,当该传动杆处于该最大行程时,该动触点处于该指定位置。
或者,控制器向该移相器发送第二控制指令,该第二控制指令用于指示该移相器驱动该传动杆行走至最小行程;其中,当该传动杆处于该最小行程时,该动触点处于该指定位置。
其中,移相器除了控制常开开关的断开和闭合之外,还用于控制天线垂直方向性图的下倾角度,因此,需要将移相器控制机械式常开开关闭合时传动杆的行程设置在移相器控制天线垂直方向性图的下倾角度是传动杆的行程范围之外,以避免移相器在控制天线垂直方向性图的下倾角度时使机械式常开开关闭合而导致的故障。具体的,可以设置当移相器控制传动杆行走至最大行程或者最小行程时,动触点随动至指定位置。以该机械式常开开关通过弹性金属刀片断开或者闭合为例,如图3所示的一种传动杆行程示意图,当移相器控制传动杆行走至最大行程时,动触点随动至指定位置,触发机械式常开开关闭合;或者,如图4所示的另一种传动杆行程示意图,当移相器控制传动杆行走至最小行程时,动触点随动至指定位置,触发机械式常开开关闭合。
步骤406,获取该馈线线路与该N个远程电调单元相连接的各个端口处的底噪检测信息,根据该底噪检测信息确定与该天线阵列相对应的远程电调单元。
其中,该基站对应有天线阵列,该天线阵列与馈线线路一端相连,该馈线线路的另一端包含的N个端口分别与该基站中的N个远程电调单元相连,N≥2;该机械式常开开关的一端通过耦合器接入该天线阵列与该馈线线路相连的端口,该机械式常开开关的另一端与信号源相连;当该机械式常开开关闭合时,该信号源产生的信号由该天线阵列与该馈线线路相连接的端口发送至该馈线线路。
如图5所示电调天线测试示意图,基站外接N个天线阵列,每个天线阵列对应一个RET,各个天线阵列与RET之间的对应关系未知,每个天线阵列通过耦合器与一个开关单元连接,各个开关单元与同一信号源连接,且各个开关单元由同一控制器进行控制。开关单元由机械式常开开关、动触点和移相器组成。每个天线阵列对应的机械式常开开关分别设置在不同的RET的移相器一侧,动触点设置于传动杆顶端,各个移相器与各个天线阵列的机械式常开开关之间的关系已知。需要说明的是,这里已知的移相器与天线阵列之间的关系不是RET与该RET控制垂直方向性图的下倾角度的天线阵列之间的对应关系,即该RET中的移相器可以控制该天线阵列对应的机械式常开开关闭合,但不一定可以控制该天线阵列的垂直方向性图的下倾角度。
当运维人员需要确定某个天线阵列的对应的RET时,向控制发送对应的测试指令,控制器根据该测试指令向该天线阵列对应的开关组件中的移相器发送控制命令,比如,当运维人员需要确定图5中天线阵列1对应的RET时,通过可视化测试界面选择测试天线阵列1,控制器向该天线阵列1对应的移相器发送控制命令,移相器接收到控制命令1后,驱动动触点移动至指定位置,使对应的机械式常开开关闭合,接通天线阵列1与信号源之间的连接,信号源发出的信号通过耦合器进入馈线线路,引起馈线线路另一侧对应的端口处的底噪(即背景噪声)发生改变,基站侧接收机对从馈线线路各个端口处接收到的信号进行底噪测试,控制器获取各个端口处的底噪测试信息,将底噪发生相应变化的端口对应的RET确定为控制该天线阵列1的垂直方向性图的下倾角度的RET。
综上所述,本发明实施例提供的开关组件控制方法,通过向基站中已有的RET的移相器发送控制指令,由移相器驱动传动杆,使与传动杆随动的动触点移动至指定位置触发机械式常开开关闭合,由于机械式常开开关为机械构件,且不需要为机械式常开开关的动触点设置专用传动结构,减小了开关组件的尺 寸,解决了现有技术中集成半导体芯片式射频开关为非线性元件而导致的对基站信号造成干扰的问题以及继电器式开关体积较大而导致的安装较为困难的问题,达到在避免对基站信号造成干扰的同时降低安装难度的效果。
另外,本发明实施例提供的开关组件控制方法,控制器通过向移相器发送ASIG校准命令,以控制动触点移动,从而控制常开开关断开或者闭合,达到进一步简化开发和部署的难度的效果。
最后,本发明实施例提供的开关组件控制方法,发送用于指示移相器驱动传动杆行走至最大行程或者最小行程的控制指令,使与传动杆随动的动触点触动开关闭合,避免发生在天线阵列正常调整垂直方向性图的下倾角度时可能造成机械式常开开关被出发闭合的事故。
