Description

一种微波天线阵列通信系统及通信方法 技术领域
本申请涉及微波通信领域，例如一种微波天线阵列通信系统及通信方法。
背景技术
现今，无线数据传输的需求增长迅猛，无线通信技术也随之迅速发展。目前常用的用以提高无线通信系统传输容量和传输速率的几种方式为频率分集，空间分集以及使用极化天线。为了说明本公开的技术背景，这里以微波LoSMIMO系统作为实例进行说明。
微波传输具有高速率，高稳定性以及土地资源占用少等优点。微波传输通常采用视距传输(Light of Sight，英文简称为LoS)。微波空间复用主要采用多天线技术，也称为多输入多输出(Multiple Input Multiple Output，简称为MIMO)技术，为区别于一般的MIMO，微波系统的多天线技术称为LoS MIMO(Line of Sight MIMO，简称为LoS MIMO)技术。LoS MIMO技术在相关带宽下极大地提升了系统的吞吐量。目前厂商做的最多的是2x2 LoS MIMO(此处2x2可以理解为广义的单极性天线阵列，对于双极性天线阵列狭义讲则为4x4 MIMO)。随着技术的加强，逐渐应用4x4(对于双极性天线阵列狭义讲为8x8 MIMO)至NxN LoS MIMO。
根据Shannon定理得到MIMO系统的传输容量C为：
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000001
上式(1)中：ρ是接收侧的信噪比，H′是信道传输特性的归一化矩阵，
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000002
为nR阶单位阵，(·)H代表Hermitian变换。系统传输容量最大等效为最大化H′H′H的行列式，即系统最大容量情况下，信道矩阵需要满足范德蒙矩阵，其任意的酉变换，都可以保证最大传输容量。以2x2微波LoS MIMO为例，其信道矩阵范德蒙阵列表示为：
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000003
使用两次酉变换得到：
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000004
对于上述的2x2MIMO说明，即任一路Tx会向对端的一个接收端Rx发送一路对应的Tx信号，并向另一接收端Rx发送相位延迟90°的Tx信号。例如参见图1所示，发射端Tx1同时分别向接收端Rx1和Rx2发送Tx信号和Tx′信号，Tx′信号相对送Tx信号相位延迟90°。推广到其他NxN LoS MIMO，在实现链路传输容量最大化过程中，最终都表现为对于收发天线之间的布局间距要求，还是以图1中2x2 LoS MIMO为例，在已知通信距离D的情况下，针对双极化天线间距h进行精确的测量并进行天线布局，用以实现对应的移相角度确定，h与D的对应关系如下：
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000005
式(2)中λ为波长。相关双极性天线阵列实现图1中的2x2 LoS MIMO对 应为狭义的4x4 MIMO，相关双极性阵列4x4 MIMO设计方案的架构参见图2-1和图2-2所示。图2-1和图2-2中，站点1(Site1)和站点2(Site2)为一跳4x4 MIMO链路，以Site1为例，H0、V0、H1及V1分别代表了其四台微波传输设备(H代表该设备连接到水平极化天线、V代表该设备连接到垂直极化天线)，其均工作在相同的射频频点上，H0和V0构成一个XPIC(Cross-polarisation Interference counteracter，交叉极化干扰抵消器，对应图1中的TX1)组，其二者连接到OMT(Orth-Mode Transducer，直接式收发转换器)之后，连接到一面抛面双极化天线上，双极化天线安装在图2-2所示的铁塔上，其按照高/低站的方式进行了布放，双极化天线间距h满足上述公式(2)中的要求。H1和V1构成另外一个XPIC组(对应图1中的TX2)，连接方式类似，最终这两个XPIC工作组组合成为一个4x4MIMO工作组，Site2的情况类似，当微波设备采用FDD(Frequency Division Dual，频分双工)工作方式，则可以知道Site1和Site2的收发频率是互易的。可知为了达成微波4x4MIMO传输正常工作的要求，要求Site1侧的两面双极化天线中心间距满足式公式(2)，体现在实际部署时，就要求Site1侧和Site2侧的铁塔(抱杆)上，充分考虑MIMO布站的要求，通过精准的测量和计算后，将两面双极化天线正确地安装到合适的间距上。这不但对安装天线的铁塔(抱杆)的结构和高度有要求，提升通信系统成本，同时受距离测量的精准度以及天线安装精度等因素的影响，对天线性能会有较大的影响，导致可靠性差，甚至达不到MIMO天线所宣称的优势。

个水平极化射频信号之间的相位差的具体取值，则根据NxN MIMO双极性天线阵列的具体阶数进行确认。下面以广义的单极性天线阵列结合信道矩阵范德蒙阵列进行示例说明。

对极化天线阵列中的各对极化天线阵列分别设置于一个天线承载板上，这样则可以提升天线安装及应用的灵活性，能满足更多应用场景。
本实施例中，控制器对于每一个水平极化天线阵列或垂直极化天线阵列的各天线子阵列发射的射频信号的相位的控制可以采用开环控制的方式，即按照上述过程进行配置完成即可。配置的相位差最终是为了便于基带数字信号在调制解调器(Modem)中进行解调使用的，因此有的时候仅考虑本端和远端天线间
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000042
相位差的要求可能并不能达到系统增益最大化，因为除去天线间引入相位差外，微波设备射频单元与相控阵天线阵列之间使用的波导连接器及射频电缆等都会导致相位差，同时由于各个射频收发通道间是相互独立的，因此为了保证MIMO解调的最大增益。本实施例还可通过反馈环路进行相位差自适应调节。首先按照上述过程，完成

相位要求，而后可以预期的是，该系统将可以工作在MIMO模式下。此时，控制器还配置为对每一水平极化天线阵列各天线子阵列发射的水平极化射频信号的相位按照上述要求进行配置后，获取对端对应水平极化天线阵列接收本端该水平极化天线阵列各天线子阵列发射的水平极化射频信号的接收相位角与

之差，判断二者之差大于预设垂直极化相位角偏差阈值时，根据二者之差对该垂直极化天线阵列各天线子阵列发射的垂直极化射频信号的相位进行调整，直到二者之差小于等于预设垂直相位角偏差阈值。
本实施例中，接收相位角与
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000047
之差可以在本端计算完成，也可以在对端计算完成，且具体计算方式可以采用任意能根据接收信号的性能指标得到接收相位角或直接得到接收相位角与
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000048
之差(也即接收相位角误差)的方式实现，在此不再赘述。
本实施例中的移相器可以采用离散式的数字式移相器，也可以采用非离散式的模拟式移相器。控制器在进行上述精调过程中，可以采用步进的调整方式，待对端再次更新其接收机MIMO性能指标之后，再次进行调节，当远端反馈的性能指标达到了一定的阈值范围内，即停止调节，认为该MIMO系统的闭环相位调整过程结束了。由于收发通道是互易的，因此本端调节完毕后，默认对端到本端的链路也就调节完成了，MIMO系统进入到长期稳定工作的状态。
本实施例中，对于每一水平极化天线阵列或垂直极化天线阵列，控制器在对其进行相位配置之前或配置之后，还可以对其发射功率进行调整。该调整过程如下：
对于每一水平极化天线阵列，获取该水平极化天线阵列的发射功率与对端对应水平极化天线阵列的接收功率以及到对端的路径插损之差作为水平极化功率差值，并在获取的水平极化功率差值大于或等于预设水平极化功率差阈值时，对水平极化天线阵列的主瓣辐射角度进行调整，直到水平极化功率差值小 于或等于预设水平极化功率差阈值；当然，也可以直接对本端该水平极化天线阵列的发射功率进行调整达到上述效果，或者两种调整方式结合使用，或者从其他方面调整该水平极化天线阵列的发射功率，只要能达到上述效果即可。
对于每一垂直极化天线阵列，获取该垂直极化天线阵列的发射功率与对端对应垂直极化天线阵列的接收功率以及到对端的路径插损之差作为垂直极化功率差值，并在获取的垂直极化功率差值大于或等于预设垂直极化功率差阈值时，对垂直极化天线阵列的主瓣辐射角度进行调整，直到垂直极化功率差值小于或等于预设垂直极化功率差阈值；当然，也可以直接对本端该垂直极化天线阵列的发射功率进行调整达到上述效果，或者两种调整方式结合使用，或者从其他方面调整该垂直极化天线阵列的发射功率，只要能达到上述效果即可。
但应当理解的是，上述功率调整过程在初始功率就已经设置较好的情况下，也可以直接跳过，或者在后续工作过程中实时调整。另外，本实施例中的各种阈值的具体取值可以根据具体通信环境需求灵活选择。
本实施例直接通过相控阵天线阵列替代相关的双面双极性天线，将微波传输设备中的各水平极化射频信号传输设备分别与相控阵天线阵列中对应水平极化天线阵列中的各天线子阵列连接以向对端发送水平极化射频信号，将各垂直极化射频信号传输设备分别与对应垂直极化天线阵列中的各天线子阵列连接以向对端发送垂直极化射频信号；对一个水平极化天线阵列和垂直极化天线阵列所发出的射频信号之间的相位之间的关系，则可直接先通过相控阵天线阵列的控制器控制水平极化天线阵列各天线子阵列以及垂直极化天线阵列各天线子阵列的移相器进行配置，然后通过对应的水平极化天线阵列各天线子阵列以及垂直极化天线阵列各天线子阵列相对端发送相应的信号即可。可以降低工程成 本、安装难度的同时，提升天线性能的可靠性，保证天线发挥出MIMO天线的优势。
实施例二：
为了更好的理解本公开，本实施例结合相控阵天线阵的具体实现方式进行示例说明。
相控阵天线阵的水平极化天线阵列以及垂直极化天线阵列一般定义为由一组独立的天线振元构成，可以通过相关电路设计保证相对幅度及相位关系，从而实现在某一个预期方向上聚焦成型的目标，而其他方向相较则大大降低(抑制)电波辐射能量。任一个天线振元都是独立可控的均匀分布在直线上，例如参见图3所示，上面一排六个天线振元分布在一条直线上，辐射顺序为从右到左各天线振元依次辐射，最后可以构成一个波前带相角的电波，也就是说辐射主瓣角度可以通过编程辐射延迟进行调整。因此针对相控阵天线，其就具备了可以进行辐射主瓣方向调整的能力。
水平极化天线阵列以及垂直极化天线阵列的一个天线子阵列一种实现方式参见图4所示。
图4中圆圈加上箭头的示意对应移相器，所有的天线振元均为无方向性，等幅同相馈电，相邻天线振元激励电流相位差为
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000049
则对应的辐射方向角为θ：
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000050
各天线振元在θ方向远区某点辐射场的场强矢量和为：
E(θ)＝E0+E1+…+Ei+…+EN-1
假设等幅馈电的情况下，各天线振元在该处的辐射场强表征为(以图4中0 号天线振元作为相位基准)：
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000051
当
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000052
时(ψ代表相对于天线阵列的观测角度)，各分量同相相加，场强辐射得到最大(说明主瓣在这个方面上达到了最大，也就是实现了电控调节主瓣方向的作用)：
|E(θ)|max＝NE
改变根据天线收发互易定理可知，接收天线同样满足对应结论。推广到2维平面阵，通过调节到达平面阵各个馈源的移相值，则可以完成诸如空间三维度内的主瓣电控扫描。
本实施例以本端为站点1，对端为站点2为示例进行说明，请参见图5-1所示。图5-1中在本端和对端对应设置有微波双极性天线阵列通信系统。图中V0和H0构成一对微波传输设备，其中V0为水平极化射频信号传输设备，H0为垂直极化射频信号传输设备。图中在每一端都有V0+H0、……、VN+HN共N对微波传输设备；对应的在每一端的天线承载板1上设置有N对极化天线阵列，每一对极化天线阵列由一个水平极化天线阵列21以及一个垂直极化天线阵列20组成。图5-1中实现了双极性天线阵列2Nx2N MIMO。对应图5-1所示的2Nx2N MIMO，其铁塔安装示意图参见图5-2所示，安装时对各天线之间的物理距离并不像相关的双面极性天线必须精确测量以及安装，其相位差主要是通过移相器控制实现，因此可以提升MIMO天线系统的实用性以及可靠性。
图5-1中水平极化天线阵列完成对应的水平极化射频信号的收发，垂直极 化天线阵列完成对应的垂直极化射频信号的收发，图中的垂直和水平关系，相对于大地平面而言，相控阵实际实施中需要根据工作频段及天线增益等设计对应的阵列单元几何组合关系，并不一定完全是图5-1中示例的拓扑，这里仅是一种利于说明的示意。按照图5-1所示微波传输设备分别与对应的垂直或水平极化天线阵列连接后，天线承载板1通过支架或结构件安装在铁塔(抱杆)上，该天线承载板1内部集成了移相器以及控制器，可以通过对应的算法或软件完成对应的辐射波束相位调整及波束成型，用以满足LoS MIMO对于传输信道矩阵的要求，最终实现传输容量及性能倍数提升。
下面在图5-1的基础上，以实现双极性天线阵列4x4 MIMO为例进行示例说明。参见图6所示，图6中站点1和站点2两端的天线承载板1上设置有2对极化天线阵列，且两端设置有V0+H0、V1+H1两对微波传输设备，其中各对微波传输设备与各极化天线阵列的连接示意图参见图6所示，V0和V1与对应的垂直极化天线阵列20连接，H0和H1与各自对应的水平极化天线阵列21连接。图6中的每个水平极化天线阵列21和垂直极化天线阵列20都包含2个天线子阵列。
天线承载板1上的具体结构参见图7所示，图7中黑色的微小矩形模块代表了天线振元，天线振元具体可以采用各种形式的振元，例如可以使用低成本FR4(耐燃材料等级的代号)材质PCB表贴天线辐射振元。两对水平极化天线阵列21及垂直极化天线阵列20分别与对应的V0、H0以及V1、H1连接，水平极化天线阵列21及垂直极化天线阵列20都包含两个天线子阵列，且各天线子阵列的各振元各自对应一个移相器(图中未示出)，且各移相器都与控制器连接。控制器完成针对4路信号的辐射主瓣及功率自适应处理，具体而言4路信 号中任一个天线阵列内部的各个辐射振元的相位和增益都需要完成对应的设置。相对传统的双面极化天线阵列必须要将双极化天线按照设备的工作频率及一跳微波链路间的间距，通过对应的理论公式计算出的相应的空间距离，而后据此距离完成铁塔(抱杆)上的双极化抛面天线安装。本实施例中的水平极化天线阵列21及垂直极化天线阵列20都已经固化到天线承载板1了，其物理形态就是固定的了，其同极化方向的射频信号间距关系也就是固定的了，因此使用相控阵天线阵列就可以不再特别考虑天馈之间的远拉问题，针对不同的频率和通信距离，都可以通过电调相控阵进行MIMO传输信道的搭建，另外针对基带而言，由于避免了需要特定计算天线布局的问题，针对一体化全市外设备等应用，就避免了设备间的过长的MIMO互传通道，在减小设备复杂度、降低产品成本方面(EMC、防雷)等方面大有裨益。并可以从传统MIMO设备安装从难度大、精准度高的要求中摆脱出来，使得MIMO可以快速部署，相关的一跳通信距离和频点，设置为进入设备之后，通过控制器自动进行相关移相及MIMO传输信道实现。
对于每一个水平极化天线阵列21及垂直极化天线阵列20，其具体实现的一种示例图参见图8所示。图8以垂直极化天线阵列20的实现方式为示例进行说明。其两个天线子阵列201以及202中的天线振元以及天线振元与移相器PS的以及功分器的连接参见图8所示。控制器具体实现移相控制和功率控制。由控制器确定对应的相位移动值，前级的功率调整模块完成波束成型的各路功率控制，为了实现
Figure PCTCN2017114881-appb-000054
的移相，本端RF Tx Lo经过功分之后，经过90°移相完成到下半部阵列的天线本振提供。水平极化天线阵列21的实现方式与图8所示方式相同。
假设图6所示4x4MIMO，其RF工作频段为15G频带，一跳通信距离为5Km，以本端站点1为例说明，参见图9所示，任意一个垂直极化天线阵列21内部，分为两个同极化的天线子阵列，分别为辐射波瓣021的天线子阵列，其对应对端站点2的接收阵列位V0路，及为辐射波瓣121的天线子阵列，其对应对端站点2的接收阵列V1路。对端V0及V1路为两组独立的垂直极化天线阵列单元组，其在一体天线内部是按照固定位置布防和设计的，这样通过本端的V0路内部两个天线子阵列进行波束成型控制就可以实现对应的主瓣聚焦和对准，同时最重要的MIMO信道传输容量最大要求的90°相位要求，也可以通过在相控阵天线阵列中进行自动化电调设置，这里的示例就要求辐射波瓣021比辐射波瓣121超前90°，用以满足传统双极化MIMO中的天线间距要求(本端剩下的H0、H1、V1也都具备两个天线子阵列，其辐射到对端站点2对应的阵列的波瓣物理要求与上述V0的行为关系一致)，即此处通过相控阵天线阵列中的移相器实现了传统方案中需要空间摆放实现的电波传输路径相位差为90°的LoS MIMO工作必要条件，并且这种移相关系，可以实时按照用户要求进行调整和精调，使得微波设备的LoS MIMO天线工程安装变成了与传统单极化1+0单极化微波同样简单的工作。本实施例中对各水平极化天线阵列21、垂直极化天线阵列20的功率以及相位的控制过程参见图10所示的步骤。
在S1001中：设本端和对端一跳间距D、频点F已确定，获取各极化天线阵列对应(V0、H0、V1、H1对应的两个水平极化天线阵列21、垂直极化天线阵列20)发射功率Ptx(x可选V0、H0、V1、H1)，以及获取本端到对端的路径插损Ld，并设定好对应的功率差阈值(对应各水平极化天线阵列21、垂直极化天线阵列20可以分别预设水平极化功率差阈值和垂直极化功率差阈值，当然 也可以使用同一个功率差阈值)。
在S1002中：获取对端天线在人工对准完毕后的各极化天线阵列对应(V0、H0、V1、H1对应的两个水平极化天线阵列21、垂直极化天线阵列20)接收功率Prx(x可选V0、H0、V1、H1)，该步骤可以与S1001同时执行。
在S1003中：判断Ptx-Ld-Prx是否小于或等于功率差阈值，如是，转至S1005；否则，转至S1004。
在S1004中：对Ptx对应的极化天线阵列的主瓣辐射角度进行调整，直到Ptx-Ld-Prx小于或等于功率差阈值；转至S1005。
在S1005中：结束当前Ptx主瓣调整，通过转至S1003遍历下一个极化天线阵列，直到遍历完毕；
在S1006中：调整各极化天线阵列内的移相器，保证相对对端接收天线子阵列间的90°移相。
至此，该一跳4x4LoS MIMO就完成了本端的相控阵天线配置，同理对端也完成对应的相控阵天线配置，保证本端的各路发射信号到达对端后均满足构造最大传输信道的90°相差要求，随后启动基带MIMO处理功能，对端的接收机系统将完成捕获、同步及锁定的基带操作和处理后，完成各路数据的正常接收和解调，从而实现传输容量的翻倍。对端到本端的处理机制对应一致，在此不再赘述。
实施例三：
除了实施例所示对各极化天线阵列内的移相器进行开环控制外，本实施例提供一种闭环精准控制过程。这种闭环控制尤其适用于针对不同的一跳通信距 离和设备工作频段。
本实施例仍以双极性天线阵列4x4 MIMO为例，由于MIMO解调过程中，基带为了解调出任意路信号，实现上等效为一个一路主路信号，三路从路信号的接收机结构，比如图11所示的Rx0的V0路接收为说明对象，其需要完成在主接收信号中H0、V1和H1路的滤除处理之后，才能恢复出V0的数据，从而实现正确的解调。
图11是一个4x4 MIMO，如果把图11中H0和H1先去掉，就是一个广义的单极化考虑下2x2 MIMO的情况，第一路接收信号为R0＝V0+V1*e^j(θ0)，第二路接收信号为R1＝V1+V0*e^j(θ1)，以第一路接收为例，MIMO解调就是要将θ0估计出来，而后闭环控制信道将这个角度θ0发送给发射侧，发射机将动态地进行相位调整，将θ0调整到大约90°，这对于θ1也是类似的处理过程。最终Rx1会把自己的接收送给Rx0，则有在第一路最终的解调信号为：R0-e^j(θ0)*(V1+V0*e^j(θ1))＝V0-V0*e^j(θ0+θ1)，理想情况下θ0＝θ1＝90°，因此最终应解调出2R0。
此处的θ角度即为相位角差，理想情况下对应上述介绍的4x4 MIMO情况下要求的90°。由于这个相位差，最终是为了便于基带数字信号在调制解调器(Modem)中进行解调使用的，因此仅考虑本端和远端天线间90°相位差的要求可能并不能达到系统增益最大化，因为除去天线间引入相位差外，微波设备射频单元与相控阵天线阵列之间使用的波导连接器及射频电缆等都会导致相位差，同时由于各个射频收发通道间是相互独立的，因此为了保证MIMO解调的最大增益。还可通过反馈环路进行相位差自适应调节，首先按照实施例二所示的过程，根据在设备用户界面中的配置首先完成90°相位的粗调，即保证本端 及对端天线间对应的阵列单元组满足90°相位要求，而后可以预期的是，该系统将可以工作在MIMO模式下，由于系统指标非最优，启动闭环相位精调流程，一跳间按照较低的调制方式(如QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying，正交相移键控)、16QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation，正交幅度调制)等需要较低SNR(SIGNAL-NOISE RATIO，信噪比)的调制方式)进行闭环控制通道的建链，一旦建链后，可以将对端接收的相位角度与理想角度的误差估算出来(具体算法可以采用任意相关误差估算算法，在此不再赘述)，可以观测的指标包括MSE(Mean Square Error)及FEC(Forward Error Correction)解码情况，通过已经建立的闭环控制通道，发送给本端，本端接收之后，根据误差的分布情况，计算出对端接收机的相位实际情况，与理想要求的90°相位关系进行对比之后，就可以通过下发特定相位调控指令的方式，告知给本端的相控阵天线控制模块进行对应的阵列单元组进行移相角度调节了，由于使用了图8中的电路结构，所有的相位调节都是电控可调的，相位移动关系就可以和具体的电路实现对应起来的，调节过程中，可以采用步进的方式，待对端再次更新其接收机MIMO性能指标之后，再次进行调节，如果对端反馈的性能指标达到了一定的阈值范围内，即停止调节，认为该MIMO系统的闭环相位调整过程结束了。由于收发通道是互易的，因此本端调节完毕后，默认对端到本端的链路也就调节完成了，LoS MIMO系统进入到长期稳定工作的状态。
以上闭环控制过程参见图12所示的步骤。
在S1201中：设本端和对端一跳间距D、频点F已确定，获取各极化天线阵列对应(V0、H0、V1、H1对应的两个水平极化天线阵列21、垂直极化天线阵列20)发射功率Ptx(x可选V0、H0、V1、H1)，以及获取本端到对端的路 径插损Ld，并设定好对应的功率差阈值(对应各水平极化天线阵列21、垂直极化天线阵列20可以分别预设水平极化功率差阈值和垂直极化功率差阈值，当然也可以使用同一个功率差阈值)。
在S1202中：获取对端天线在人工对准完毕后的各极化天线阵列对应(V0、H0、V1、H1对应的两个水平极化天线阵列21、垂直极化天线阵列20)接收功率Prx(x可选V0、H0、V1、H1)。
在S1203中：判断Ptx-Ld-Prx是否小于或等于功率差阈值，如是，转至S1205；否则，转至S1204。
在S1204中：对Ptx对应的极化天线阵列的主瓣辐射角度进行调整，直到Ptx-Ld-Prx小于或等于功率差阈值；转至S1205。
在S1205中：结束当前Ptx主瓣调整，通过转至S1203遍历下一个极化天线阵列，直到遍历完毕。
在S1206中：调整各极化天线阵列内的移相器，保证相对对端接收天线子阵列间的90°移相。
在S1207中：本端及对端将调制方式强制到预设调制方式(如QPSK)，使能闭环控制通道。
在S1208中：Prx进行各极化天线阵列90°移相精调整，直到各极化天线阵列相角估值误差小于或等于设定阈值，MSE达到MIMO阈值。
在S1209中：本端和对端将调制方式改回原始的用户配置方式，进入稳定运行。
本实施例提供的反馈环路进行相位差自适应调节，可以进一步提升天线性 能，保证MIMO天线阵列的可靠性。基于上述过程对相位配置完毕之后，即可向对端发送相应的信号，既能降低工程成本、安装难度，又能提升天线性能的可靠性，保证天线发挥出MIMO天线的优势。
本领域的技术人员应该明白，上述本公开实施例的各模块或各步骤可以用通用的计算装置来实现，它们可以集中在单个的计算装置上，或者分布在多个计算装置所组成的网络上，可选地，它们可以用计算装置可执行的程序代码或指令来实现，从而，可以将它们存储在计算机存储介质(ROM/RAM、磁碟、光盘)中由计算装置来执行，并且在某些情况下，可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤，或者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模块，或者将它们中的多个模块或步骤制作成单个集成电路模块来实现。
实施例四：
如实施例一分析，本实施例中可以将一对极化天线阵列的水平极化天线阵列和垂直极化天线阵列设置在一个天线承载板上。例如针对用户的应用，可能并不是要求所有的场景都是MIMO系统，即物理形态上为一体化的相控阵天线阵列，在诸如XPIC及保护场景下，其就不再具备对应的复用灵活性的问题.本实施例提出了另一种实现情况，即按照XPIC组的要求，将原来NxN天线阵列分解为物理上独立的最小单元，包含一对极化天线阵列(即包含一个水平极化天线阵列和垂直极化天线阵列)，参见图13所示，图13中包含一个水平极化天线阵列和一个垂直极化天线阵列。在一种应用场景中，仍旧按照15G工作频段，5Km一跳通信距离为例(参见图6所示)，理论要求的双极化天线的间距为7.07米，考虑到铁塔(抱杆)上的安装要求，两面最小相控阵天线阵列被安装在间距为1米的距离上，由于并不是按照理想要求的7米间距，因此首先还 是需要两面相控阵天线进行实施例二中的90°相位调整和设备，如图14所示，由于双面天线之间的天线间距是具体到安装及工程实施阶段才最后确定的，并不是固定的数值，因此有可能会导致最终表现在接收端的相位差是围绕在90°一定范围内分布的随机角度，此时进行实施例三中所述的闭环相位调整过程完成，本端与对端对应的辐射阵列单元间的相位自动调整和精调，最终调整完毕后，这个随机天线间距(用户依据具体安装时的情况确定)对本实施例中的双极性天线MIMO系统并无影响，系统将自动调整并收敛到最佳工作状态，即保证传输信道矩阵满足范德蒙阵的要求，对应的各个辐射阵列单元间构造为最佳的相位差关系，从而实现MIMO系统的增益最大化，在系统的传输容量及系统增益方面实现优化。同时，图13所示的最小相控阵天线阵列，在不进行MIMO应用时，还可以灵活的构建2+0、2+2、1+0等微波应用，其更紧凑的尺寸及重量，将在工程安装等方面更具优化。
以上内容是结合具体的实施方式对本公开实施例所作的进一步详细说明，不能认定本公开的具体实施只局限于这些说明。
