具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
以下,术语“第一”、“第二”等仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”等的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本申请的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
此外,本申请中,“上”、“下”等方位术语是相对于附图中的部件示意置放的方位来定义的,应当理解到,这些方向性术语是相对的概念,它们用于相对于的描述和澄清,其可以根据附图中部件所放置的方位的变化而相应地发生变化。
以下,对本申请实施例可能出现的术语进行解释。
电长度(electrical length),是指传播媒质和结构的机械长度(也可称物理长度或几何长度)与该媒质和结构上传播电磁波的波长比值,乘以2π(弧度)或者360°。
电连接:可理解为元器件物理接触并电导通,也可理解为线路构造中不同元器件之间通过PCB铜箔或导线等可传输电信号的实体线路进行连接的形式。其中,“连接”则是指的机械构造,物理构造的连接。
耦合连接:指两个或两个以上的电路元件或电网络的输入与输出之间存在紧密配合与相互影响,并通过相互作用从一侧向另一侧传输能量的现象。
接通:通过以上“电连接”或“耦合连接”的方式使得两个或两个以上的元器件之间导通或连通来进行信号/能量传输,都可称为接通。
天线方向图:也称辐射方向图。是指在离天线一定距离处,天线辐射场的相对场强(归一化模值)随方向变化的图形,通常采用通过天线最大辐射方向上的两个相互垂直的平面方向图来表示。
方向图圆度(antenna pattern roundness):在水平面方向图中,天线的水平面方向图不圆度是指在水平面方向图中,其最大值或最小值电平值与平均值的偏差。其中,平均值是指水平面方向图中最大间隔不超过5°方位上电平(dB)值的算术平均值。
天线隔离度:是指一个天线发射的信号与另一个天线所接收的信号功率的比值。
转移导纳(Transfer admittance):转移导纳参数接近于0时,说明两个天线之间没有能量传输。
驻波比(Voltage Standing Wave Ratio,VSWR)指驻波波腹电压与波谷电压幅度之比,又称为驻波系数、驻波比。驻波比等于1时,表示馈线和天线的阻抗完全匹配,此时高频能量全部被天线辐射出去,没有能量的反射损耗;驻波比为无穷大时,表示全反射,能量完全没有辐射出去。
天线回波损耗:可以理解为经过天线电路反射回天线端口的信号功率与天线端口发射功率的比值。反射回来的信号越小,说明通过天线向空间辐射出去的信号越大,天线的辐射效率越大。反射回来的信号越大,说明通过天线向空间辐射出去的信号越小,天线的辐射效率越小。
天线回波损耗可以用S11参数来表示,S11参数通常为负数。S11参数越小,表示天线回波损耗越小,天线的辐射效率越大;S11参数越大,表示天线回波损耗越大,天线的辐射效率越小。
本申请实施例提供一种基站设备。如图1、图2所示,该基站设备包括:承载板01、天线模块001和射频电路(图中未示出)。该天线模块001和射频电路均装配于承载板01上。射频电路与天线模块001电连接,用以通过馈电点向天线模块001收发电磁信号。天线模块001可以根据接收的电磁信号辐射电磁波或根据接收的电磁波向射频电路发送电磁信号,从而实现无线信号的收发。其中,射频电路(Radio Frequency module,AF module)为收发器(transmitter and/or receiver,T/R)等可以发射和/或接收射频信号的电路。
需要说明的是,该基站设备可以是室内基站设备。
在一些实施例中,如图1所示,该天线模块001收发一体,收发通道间的隔离度为0dB,双工器(Duplexer)带外抑制要求例如为AdB。其中,接收和发射一体的天线模块001,收发通道之间的隔离度较差。
需要说明的是,双工器由两组不同频率的带通滤波器组成,用于提高收发通道间的隔离度,将发射和接收讯号相隔离,保证接收和发射都能同时正常工作。当收发通道间的隔离度较差时,双工器带外抑制要求的隔离度较高,对双工器要求较高。

然而,为了满足隔离度要求,图2中接收天线002和发射天线003通过空间隔离,无法实现高密布局,接收天线002和发射天线003要占据两个天线空间,占用空间大,不利于设备的小型化。
在一些实施例中,如图3a、图3b所示,为了节省空间,接收天线002和发射天线003采用双层布局,天线数量为12时,基站设备尺寸为:200×200×(H+10)mm 3,其中,H为单层布局时的基站设备高度,H+10为单层布局时的基站设备高度,具体可以是:0.25λ 0*0.25λ 0*0.1λ 0,其中,λ 0为接收天线002和发射天线003的工作频段的中心频率对应的波长。
与单层布局的基站设备相比,增加了基站设备的成本,同时,由于天线单元间距过近,隔离度恶化3dB+,并且受上层天线影响,下层天线方向图圆度恶化。

根据如上公式可知,令Y 21为零,可以使得第一天线单元100和第二天线单元200之间的隔离度S 21等于0,实现隔离度的优化。
此时,第一天线单元100和第二天线单元200之间的转移导纳Y 21满足如下公式:

由此,通过调节该第一相位调节单元和第二相位调节单元的电长度,可以调节信号相位,使得调节后的信号与谐振结构从其他谐振结构耦合的信号的相位不同或相反,使得调节后的信号与谐振结构从其他谐振结构耦合的信号在端口处相互抵消或者削弱,从而提高了天线的端口隔离度。
同时,这种通过矩阵耦合对消的方式,是对相位调节结构与谐振结构连接节点处的信号进行耦合对消,对第一天线单元100和第二天线单元200上的信号影响较小。
在第一天线单元100激励的情况下,第二天线单元200上的从第一天线单元100上耦合的信号依旧存在,同时,在第二天线单元200激励的情况下,第一天线单元100上的从第二天线单元200上耦合的信号依旧存在,对天线本身的辐射特性无明显影响,避免了方向图恶化。
