第十滤波器204d通过第六端口6接收第二天线阵列202发送的一路第二混合信号,从第二混合信号中滤波出第一频段的射频信号,向第六RX2044发送第一频段的射频信号。
可选的,第二RRU204中的每个TRX对应的滤波器可以是软件和/或硬件的形式分别集成在每个TRX中,也可以是独立的软件和/或硬件模块;第二RRU204中的每个RX对应的滤波器可以是软件和/或硬件的形式分别集成在每个RX中,也可以是独立的软件和/或硬件模块。
进一步地,参见图2-9,第三TRX2041、第四TRX2042、第五RX2043和第六RX2044均分别通过光纤等线路与基站的基带模块连接。
第一TRX2031、第二TRX2032、第五RX2043和/或第六RX2034将接收
的第一频段的射频信号转换成第一基带信号,通过与基站的基带模块之间的线路,将转换的第一基带信号发送给基站的基带模块。
第三TRX2041、第四TRX2042、第三RX2035和第四RX2036将接收的第二频段的射频信号转换成第二基带信号,通过与基站的基带模块之间的线路,将转换的第二基带信号发送给基站的基带模块。
可选的,第三TRX2041和第四TRX2024,还分别用于接收基站的基带模块发送的基带信号;第三TRX2041,还用于将该基带信号转换成射频信号,向第二天线阵列202发送该射频信号,由第二天线阵列202发射该射频信号;第四TRX2042,还用于将该基带信号转换成射频信号,向第二天线阵列202发送该射频信号,由第二天线阵列202发射该射频信号。可选的,所述射频信号可以是第二频段的射频信号。
可选的,在本申请实施例中,第一RRU203的四个端口通过插接的方式插在第一天线阵列201的两个天线端口、第一天线辐射单元2041的一天线端口和第二天线辐射单元2042的一天线端口上。第二RRU204的两个端口通过跳线分别与第一天线辐射单元2041的另一天线端口和第二天线辐射单元2042的另一天线端口连接。当然,第一RRU203的四个端口也可以通过跳线分别与第一天线阵列201的两个天线端口、第一天线辐射单元2041的一天线端口和第二天线辐射单元2042的一天线端口连接。
其中,第一RRU203的四个端口插接在第一天线阵列201和第二天线阵列202时,第一RRU203与第一天线阵列201和第二天线阵列202之间产生的信号损耗较小,要小于第一RRU203的四个端口通过跳线与第一天线阵列201和第二天线阵列202相连时第一RRU203与第一天线阵列201和第二天线阵列202之间产生的信号损耗。
在本申请实施例中,第二天线阵列设有四个天线端口,第一RRU的四个端口可以分别与第一天线阵列的两个天线端口、第一天线阵列的两个天线端口连接,第二RRU的两个端口可以分别与第一天线阵列的另外两个天线端口连接;这样当有源天线系统工作在单频段工作模式时,第一RRU可以接收到第一天线阵列通过两天线端口发送的两路第一混合信号,第二RRU可以接收到第二天线阵列通过两个天线端口发送的两路第一混合信号,从而可以省去合路单元;当有源天线系统工作双频段工作模式时,第一RRU可以接收第一天线阵列通过两个天线端口发送的两路第二混合信号,以及第二RRU可以接收第
二天线阵列通过与第二RRU相连的两个天线端口发送的两路第二混合信号,这样在双频段工作模式下,第一RRU和第二RRU也不需要合路单元连接到第一天线阵列和第二天线阵列,从而可以省去合路单元,减轻了有源天线系统的重量,降低了有源天线系统现场安装和生产制作的复杂度。另外,在本申请实施例中,第一RRU可以直接插接在第一天线阵列的两个天线端口、第一天线辐射单元的一天线端口和第二天线辐射单元的一天线端口上,可以有效地减少信号损耗。
本申请实施例提供了一种基站,所述基站包括如图2-1至2-9所示的任一种有源天线系统。
本申请实施例提供了一种通信系统,所述通信系统包括如所述的基站。
以上所述仅为本申请的较佳实施例,并不用以限制本申请,凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
