具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,本申请所描述的实施例仅仅是一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请提供的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有付出创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请的保护范围。在本申请中提及“实施例”意味着,结合实施例所描述的特定特征、结构或特性可以包含在本申请的至少一个实施例中。在说明书的各个位置出现该短语并不一定均是指相同的实施例,也不是与其它实施例互斥的、独立的或备选的实施例。本领域技术人员可以显式地和隐式地理解的是,本申请所描述的实施例可以与其它实施例相结合。本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别不同对象,而不是用于描述特定顺序。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及它们任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含。例如:包含了一个或多个零部件的组件或设备没有限定于已列出的一个或多个零部件,而是可选地还包括没有列出的但所示例的产品固有的一个或多个零部件,或者基于所说明的功能其应具有的一个或多个零部件。
如图1所示,图1为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统100的示意图。通信系统100包括待测设备2和终端设备1。其中,待测设备2用于向终端设备1发射第一电磁波信号。可以理解的,待测设备2包括能够发射第一电磁波信号的天线辐射体21。待测设备2可以是但不限定于:笔记本电脑、平板电脑、移动设备(例如,移动电话(手机)、便携式音乐播放器、个人数字助理、专用消息设备、便携式游戏设备、车载设备以及可穿戴设备)等;还可以是佩戴在人、宠物、物等上的标签设备、智能家居等。终端设备1包括多个天线辐射体组成的阵列。终端设备1的天线辐射体能够接收待测设备2的天线辐射体21发射的第一电磁波信号。终端设备1可以是但不限定于:笔记本电脑、平板电脑、移动设备(例如,移动电话(手机)、便携式音乐播放器、个人数字助理、专用消息设备、便携式游戏设备、车载设备以及可穿戴设备)等。本申请实施例中待测设备2、终端设备1皆以手机为例。
其中,待测设备2向终端设备1发射的第一电磁波信号包括但不限于为超宽带(Ultra Wide Band,UWB)信号、蓝牙信号、全球定位系统(Global Positioning System,GPS)信号等。本申请实施例以UWB信号为例进行说明。UWB是一种短距离的无线通信方式,其传输距离通常在10m以内,使用1GHz以上带宽。UWB不采用载波,而是利用纳秒至微秒级的非正弦波窄脉冲传输数据,因此,其所占的频谱范围很宽,适用于高速、近距离的无线个人通信。FCC规定,UWB的工作频段范围从3.1GHz到10.6GHz,最小工作频宽为500MHz。目前主流的UWB频段的中心频率为6.5GHz和8GHz,带宽要求500MHz以上。
通信系统100实现到达角(Angle of Arrival,AOA)测量的基本原理可以理解为:待测设备2通过天线辐射体21发射第一电磁波信号。由于终端设备1的多个天线辐射体与待测设备2的天线辐射体之间的距 离不同,因此待测设备2发射的第一电磁波信号到达终端设备1的多个天线辐射体的路径不同,即引入了额外的路径差,从而第一电磁波信号到达多个天线辐射体形成额外的时间差,额外的时间差使得终端设备1接收的第一电磁波信号产生信号相位PDOA差(Phase Difference of Arrival,PDOA)。其中,信号相位差PDOA与第一电磁波信号的波长、多个天线辐射体之间的相位中心的间距以及到达角AOA相关。因此,在第一电磁波信号的波长已知时,通过终端设备1的多个天线辐射体接收第一电磁波信号的信号相位差PDOA、多个天线辐射体之间的相位中心的间距可以确定到达角AOA。
如图2所示,图2为二维坐标系中终端设备1的两个天线辐射体确定到达角AOA的原理示意图。其中,D远远大于λ,因此,θ 1≈θ 2≈θ。λ为第一电磁波信号的波长。终端设备1的两个天线辐射体之间额外的路径差为d 1,d 1=d cosθ=d sinα。d为终端设备1的两个天线辐射体的相位中心之间的间距。终端设备1的两个天线辐射体之间额外的时间差为t 1

Figure PCTCN2022139745-appb-000004
如图3所示,图3为图2所示终端设备1的天线辐射体接收第一电磁波信号的信号相位差PDOA与到达角AOA的曲线关系图。基于第一电磁波信号的中心频率为6.5GHz和8GHz,可以得到第一电磁波信号的波长λ为36.4mm~48mm。半波长λ/2为18.2mm~24mm。以下实施例中在未明确说明的情况下以第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2为18mm为例。图3中(a)、(b)、(c)分别给出了两个天线辐射体的相位中心之间的间距为5mm、10mm、15mm以及两个天线辐射体的相位中心之间的间距为半波长λ/2时的信号相位差PDOA曲线,从图3中可以看出当两个天线辐射体的相位中心之间的间距小于半波长λ/2时,信号相位差PDOA曲线的斜率减小,所确定的到达角AOA的精度较低。为此,本申请提出了一种终端设备1,有利于提高到达角AOA的测量精度,且天线辐射体的排布自由度较高。
如图4所示,图4为本申请提供的终端设备1的结构示意图。终端设备1包括第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11、第三天线辐射体12及处理器13。
第一天线辐射体10可以为形状规则(例如:三角形、矩形、方形、圆形、其他多边形、球形等)的天线辐射体,也可以为异形(例如:F形、E形等)的天线辐射体。第一天线辐射体10的材质可以为金属、合金、碳纤维、复合高分子等导电材质。以终端设备1为手机为例,第一天线辐射体10可以位于终端设备1的显示屏内、显示屏与后盖之间、后盖上等。本申请对于第一天线辐射体10在终端设备1内的位置及尺寸不作具体的限定。第一天线辐射体10的相位中心为第一天线辐射体10电磁辐射的等效点源的位置。当第一天线辐射体10为形状规则的天线辐射体时,第一天线辐射体10的相位中心可以理解为第一天线辐射体10的几何中心,允许存在少许的偏差。当第一天线辐射体10为异形天线辐射体时,第一天线辐射体10的相位中心可能位于第一天线辐射体10的几何中心,也可能位于第一天线辐射体10在任一方向(例如:第一目标方向、第二目标方向等)的中心,还可能位于第一天线辐射体10的其他位置。以下实施例中,在未明确说明的情况下以第一天线辐射体10的相位中心即第一天线辐射体10的几何中心为例。第一天线辐射体10用于接收第一电磁波信号。

第三天线辐射体12可以为形状规则(例如:三角形、矩形、方形、圆形、其他多边形、球形等)的天线辐射体,也可以为异形(例如:F形、E形等)的天线辐射体。第三天线辐射体12的材质可以为金属、合金、碳纤维、复合高分子等导电材质。以终端设备1为手机为例,第三天线辐射体12可以位于终端设备1的显示屏内、显示屏与后盖之间、后盖上等。本申请对于第三天线辐射体12在终端设备1内的位置 及尺寸不作具体的限定。第三天线辐射体12的相位中心为第三天线辐射体12电磁辐射的等效点源的位置。当第三天线辐射体12为形状规则的天线辐射体时,第三天线辐射体12的相位中心可以理解为第三天线辐射体12的几何中心,允许存在少许的偏差。当第三天线辐射体12为异形天线辐射体时,第三天线辐射体12的相位中心可能位于第三天线辐射体12的几何中心,也可能位于第三天线辐射体12在任一方向(例如:第一目标方向、第二目标方向等)的中心,还可能位于第三天线辐射体12的其他位置。以下实施例中,在未明确说明的情况下以第三天线辐射体12的相位中心即第三天线辐射体12的几何中心为例。第三天线辐射体12的形状、材质、尺寸可以与第一天线辐射体10的形状、材质、尺寸相同也可以不同。第三天线辐射体12的形状、材质、尺寸可以与第二天线辐射体11的形状、材质、尺寸相同也可以不同。第三天线辐射体12用于接收第一电磁波信号。第三天线辐射体12与第一天线辐射体10沿第一目标方向排列。可以理解的,第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12依次沿第一目标方向排列;或者,第二天线辐射体11、第一天线辐射体10及第三天线辐射体12依次沿第一目标方向排列。第三天线辐射体12的相位中心与第一天线辐射体10的相位中心之间的间距为第二间距d 13。本申请实施例中,第二间距d 13即第三天线辐射体12的几何中心与第一天线辐射体10的几何中心之间的间距,可参照附图中的d 13
其中,第二间距d 13与第一间距d 12中的至少一者大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2。可选的,第一间距d 12大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第二间距d 13小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;或者,第一间距d 12小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第二间距d 13大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;又或者,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2。
如图5所示,图5为图2所示终端设备1的天线辐射体接收第一电磁波信号的信号相位差PDOA与到达角AOA的曲线关系图。图5中(d)、(e)、(f)分别给出了两个天线辐射体的相位中心之间的间距为20mm、30mm、40mm以及两个天线辐射体的相位中心之间的间距为半波长λ/2时的信号相位差PDOA曲线,从图5中可以看出当两个天线辐射体的相位中心之间的间距大于半波长λ/2时,信号相位差PDOA曲线的斜率增加,使得所确定的到达角AOA的精度提高。可以理解的,当第一间距d 12大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第二间距d 13小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2时,第一相位差PDOA 12曲线的斜率增加,可提高到达角AOA的精度;当第一间距d 12小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第二间距d 13大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2时,第二相位差PDOA 13曲线的斜率增加,可提高到达角AOA的精度;当第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2时,第一相位差PDOA 12曲线的斜率增加,第二相位差PDOA 13曲线的斜率增加,可提高到达角AOA的精度。换言之,由于第一电磁波信号的波长一定,因此第一间距d 12和/或第二间距d 13越大,终端设备1的测角精度越高。但是,当第一间距d 12和/或第二间距d 13增大到一定值时,会导致终端设备1进行测角时出现相位模糊,所确定的到达角AOA不唯一,相关问题在后续的实施例中进一步解决。
处理器13用于获取第一天线辐射体10与第二天线辐射体11之间接收第一电磁波信号的第一相位差PDOA 12,以及获取第三天线辐射体12与第一天线辐射体10之间接收第一电磁波信号的第二相位差PDOA 13,并用于根据第一相位差PDOA 12、第二相位差PDOA 13、第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13及第一电磁波信号的波长确定第一电磁波信号的到达角AOA。其中,处理器13可以是终端设备1的中央处理器CPU、也可以是由CPU控制的处理器或者独立于CPU的处理器等。第一相位差PDOA 12与第一间距d 12、第一电磁波信号的波长、第一电磁波信号的到达角AOA相关。第二相位差PDOA 13与第二间距d 13、第一电磁波信号的波长、第一电磁波信号的到达角AOA相关。在三维空间中,第一电磁波信号的到达角AOA包括第一角度和第二角度,第一角度与第二角度中的一者为方位角,第一角度与第二角度中的另一者为俯仰角。以下实施例中,建立如图4所述的三维坐标系,分别标记为X轴、Y轴和Z轴。本申请实施例中,X轴方向为第一目标方向。图4中,第一角度记为θ,可以理解为方位角;第二角度记为

本申请提供的终端设备1通过设置第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11、第三天线辐射体12及处理器13,使第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12皆用于接收第一电磁波信号,由于第二天线辐射体11与第一天线辐射体10沿第一目标方向排列,第三天线辐射体12与第一天线辐射体10沿第一目标方向排列,且第二天线辐射体11的相位中心与第一天线辐射体10的相位中心之间的间距为第一间距d 12,第三天线辐射体12的相位中心与第一天线辐射体10的相位中心之间的间距为第二间距d 13,第二间距d 13与第一间距d 12中的至少一者大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,因此可使第一天线辐射体10与第二天线辐射体11,第一天线辐射体10与第三天线辐射体12中的至少一者摆脱相位中心之间的间距小于或等于电磁波信号的半波长λ/2的限制,提高天线辐射体的排布自由度,便于终端设备1的布局。处理器13根据第一天线辐射体10与第二天线辐射体11之间接收第一电磁波信号的第一相位差PDOA 12、第三天线辐射体12与第一天线辐射体10之间接收第一电磁波信号的第二相位差PDOA 13、第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13确定第一电磁波信号的到达角AOA,可用于实现待测设备2的定位。而第二间距d 13与第一间距d 12中的至少一者大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可提高所确定的到达角AOA的精度。本申请提供 的通信系统100因具有上述终端设备1,因此定位精度较高。
从图5(e)、(f)中可以看出当终端设备1的两个天线辐射体的相位中心之间的间距大于半波长λ/2时,两个天线辐射体之间接收第一电磁波信号的信号相位差PDOA与到达角AOA在一些范围内未一一对应。换言之,当终端设备1的两个天线辐射体的相位中心之间的间距大于半波长λ/2时,基于两个天线辐射体之间接收第一电磁波信号的信号相位差PDOA所确定的到达角AOA不唯一,以下称之为相位模糊。为此,本申请进一步对终端设备1进行了改进,可在提高到达角AOA测量精度的同时避免相位模糊,即使得信号相位差PDOA与到达角AOA一一对应。
其中,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13不同。可选的,第一间距d 12大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第二间距d 13小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;或者,第一间距d 12小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第二间距d 13大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;又或者,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,且第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13不相等。换言之,当第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12可以小于或大于第二间距d 13
一实施例中,请参照图4和图6,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13中的一者小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13中的另一者大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2。换言之,第一间距d 12大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第二间距d 13小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;或者,第一间距d 12小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第二间距d 13大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2。以下实施例中以第一间距d 12小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第二间距d 13大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2为例。可以理解的,第二间距d 13大于第一间距d 12。换言之,第一间距d 12小于第二间距d 13
一实施方式中,如图4所示,第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12依次排列。本实施方式中,由于第三天线辐射体12的相位中心与第一天线辐射体10的相位中心之间的第二间距d 13大于第二天线辐射体11的相位中心与第一天线辐射体10的相位中心之间的第一间距d 12,因此使第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12依次排列可减少第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12在第一目标方向上所占据的空间,缩减终端设备1沿第一目标方向的尺寸,有利于终端设备1的小型化。当然,在其他实施方式中,如图6所示,第一天线辐射体10可以位于第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12之间。换言之,第二天线辐射体11、第一天线辐射体10及第三天线辐射体12可以依次排列。
其中,PDOA 12=kd 12sinθ   (1);PDOA 13′=kd 13sinθ   (2);PDOA 13′=PDOA 13+2πN 1   (3);

换言之,上述实施例提供了一种可以实现高精度检测到达角AOA的终端设备1中天线辐射体的排布方案,采用多基线检测到达角的方法,即在第一目标方向(方位方向)上设置不同间隔排布的三个天线辐射体,其中,第一天线辐射体10与第二天线辐射体11之间的第一间距d 12较短,小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以保证终端设备1在大的视场角(Field of view,FOV)范围内无相位模糊,第一天线辐射体10与第三天线辐射体12之间的第二间距d 13较长,大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以保证终端设备1检测到达角AOA的精度较高,提升用户体验;或者,第一天线辐射体10与第二天线辐射体11之间的第一间距d 12较长,大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以保证终端设备1检测到达角AOA的精度较高,提升用户体验,第一天线辐射体10与第三天线辐射体12之间的第二间距d 13较短,小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以保证终端设备1在大的视场角FOV范围内无相位模糊。
另一实施例中,请参照图7至图10,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2。由于第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一相位差PDOA 12曲线的斜率增加,第二相位差PDOA 13可曲线的斜率增加,因此可以提高到达角AOA的精度。此外,本实施例中由于第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,使得第一天线辐射体10与第二天线辐射体11之间的隔离度增加,第三天线辐射体12与第一天线辐射体10之间的隔离度增加,可降低第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11、第三天线辐射体12接收第一电磁波信号的干扰,进一步地提高到达角AOA的检测精度。
一实施方式中,请参照图7和图8,第一间距d 12等于m*x,第二间距d 13等于n*x,其中,m与n互为质数。举例而言,m=3;n=5;x=8mm,即第一间距d 12等于24mm;第二间距d 13等于40mm,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;或者,m=5;n=7;x=6mm,即第一间距d 12等于30mm;第二间距d 13等于42mm,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;又或者,m=7;n=11;x=4mm,即第一间距d 12等于28mm;第二间距d 13等于44mm,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;再或者,m=7;n=11;x=5mm,即第一间距d 12等于35mm;第二间距d 13等于55mm,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2等等。
可选的,如图7所示,m小于n。换言之,第一间距d 12小于第二间距d 13。第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12依次排列。本实施方式中,由于第二天线辐射体11的相位中心与第一天线辐射体10的相位中心之间的第一间距d 12小于第三天线辐射体12的相位中心与第一天线辐射体10的相位中心之间的第二间距d 13,因此使第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12依次排列可减少第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12在第一目标方向上所占据的空间,缩减终端设备1沿第一目标方向的尺寸,有利于终端设备1的小型化。当然,在其他实施例中,如图8所示,第一天线辐射体10可以位于第二天线辐射体11与第三天线辐射体12之间。

换言之,上述实施方式提供了另一种实现高精度检测到达角AOA的终端设备1中天线辐射体的排布方案,采用参差基线测角方法,即在第一目标方向(方位方向)上设置特定间隔排布的三个天线辐射体,其中,第一天线辐射体10与第二天线辐射体11之间的第一间距d 12=m*x,大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一天线辐射体10与第三天线辐射体12之间的第二间距d 13=n*x,也大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,且m与n互为质数,通过上述三个天线辐射体的排布方式,摆脱了检测到达角时天线辐射体之间的间距需要小于或等于电磁波信号的半波长的限制,增加了第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12排布的灵活度,且增加了第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12之间的隔离度,同时由于第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以提升终端设备1检测到达角AOA的精度,提升用户体验。
另一实施方式中,请参照图9和图10,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2。
可选的,第一间距d 12小于第二间距d 13。例如:第一间距d 12为25mm;第二间距d 13为30mm,其中,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值为5mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;或者,第一间距d 12为25mm,第二间距d 13为35mm,其中,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值为10mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;又或者,第一间距d 12为20mm,第二间距d 13为35mm,其中,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值为15mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;再或者,第一间距d 12为20mm,第二间距d 13为38mm,其中,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值为18mm,等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2等等。
当然,在其他实施方式中,第一间距d 12可以大于第二间距d 13;例如:第一间距d 12为32mm,第二间距d 13为27mm,其中,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值为5mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;或者,第一间距d 12为34mm,第二间距d 13为24mm,其中,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值为10mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;又或者,第一间距d 12为 33mm;第二间距d 13为23mm;其中,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值为15mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;再或者,第一间距d 12为38mm,第二间距d 13为20mm,其中,第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值为18mm,等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2等等。
可选的,如图9所示,第一天线辐射体10位于第二天线辐射体11与第三天线辐射体12之间。本实施方式中,由于第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长,因此使第一天线辐射体10位于第二天线辐射体11与第三天线辐射体12之间可增加第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12的隔离度,降低第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11、第三天线辐射体12接收第一电磁波信号的干扰,提高到达角AOA的精度。当然,在其他实施方式中,如图10所示,第一天线辐射体10、第二天线辐射体11及第三天线辐射体12可以依次排列。

因此基于上述(1)(2),或者(4)、(5),或者(8)、(9)可以看出当d 12、d 13一定时,λ与信号相位差PDOA曲线的斜率成反比,因此λ越小测量到达角AOA的精度越大,λ越大无模糊测量到达角AOA的范围越大,故本实施例通过设置第一匹配电路、第二匹配电路和第三匹配电路可以切换不同的频率以调节λ,提高第一角度θ的精度和解决第一角度θ相位模糊的问题。

其中,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15不同。可选的,第三间距d 14大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第四间距d 15小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;或者,第三间距d 14小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第四间距d 15大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;又或者,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第 一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,且第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15不相等。换言之,当第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14可以小于或大于第四间距d 15

Figure PCTCN2022139745-appb-000035
的相位模糊问题。
换言之,上述实施例提供了一种可以实现高精度检测到达角AOA的终端设备1中天线辐射体的排布方案,采用多基线检测到达角的方法,即在第二目标方向(俯仰方向)上设置不同间隔排布的三个天线辐射体,其中,第一天线辐射体10与第四天线辐射体18之间的第三间距d 14较短,小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以保证终端设备1在大的视场角(Field of view,FOV)范围内无相位模糊,第一天线辐射体10与第五天线辐射体19之间的第四间距d 15较长,大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以保证终端设备1检测到达角AOA的精度较高,提升用户体验;或者,第一天线辐射体10与第四天线辐射体18之间的第三间距d 14较长,大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以保证终端设备1检测到达角AOA的精度较高,提升用户体验,第一天线辐射体10与第五天线辐射体19之间的第四间距d 15较短,小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以保证终端设备1在大的视场角FOV范围内无相位模糊。
需要说明的是,本实施例第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15中的一者小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15中的另一者大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2可以与上述第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13中的一者小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13中的另一者大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12等于m*x,第二间距d 13等于n*x,其中,m与n互为质数;第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2的三种实施例中的任意一种结合。
另一实施例中,请参照图18至图21,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2。由于第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三相位差PDOA 14曲线的斜率增加,第四相位差PDOA 15曲线的斜率增加,因此可以提高到达角AOA的精度。此外,本实施例中由于第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,使得第四天线辐射体18与第一天线辐射体10之间的隔离度增加,第五天线辐射体19与第一天线辐射体10之间的隔离度增加,可降低第一天线辐射体10、第四天线辐射体18、第五天线辐射体19接收第一电磁波信号的干扰,进一步地提高到达角AOA的精度。
一实施方式中,请参照图18和图19,第三间距d 14等于a﹡y,第四间距d 15等于b﹡y,其中,a与b互为质数。举例而言,a=3;b=7;y=7mm,即第三间距d 14等于21mm;第四间距d 15等于49mm,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;或者,a=5;b=7;y=6mm,即第三间距d 14等于30mm;第四间距d 15等于42mm,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;又或者,a=4;b=5;y=7mm,即第三间距d 14等于28mm;第四间距d 15等于35mm,第三间距d 14、第四间距 d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;再或者,a=5;b=7;y=8mm,即第三间距d 14等于40mm;第四间距d 15等于56mm,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2等等。
可选的,如图18所示,a小于b。换言之,第三间距d 14小于第四间距d 15。目标天线辐射体、第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19依次排列。本实施方式中即第一天线辐射体10、第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19依次排列。本实施方式中,由于第四天线辐射体18的相位中心与第一天线辐射体10的相位中心之间的第三间距d 14小于第五天线辐射体19的相位中心与第一天线辐射体10的相位中心之间的第四间距d 15,因此使第一天线辐射体10、第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19依次排列可减少第一天线辐射体10、第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19在第二目标方向上所占据的空间,缩减终端设备1沿第二目标方向的尺寸,有利于终端设备1的小型化。当然,在其他实施例中,如图19所示,第一天线辐射体10可以位于第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19之间。

的相位模糊问题。
换言之,上述实施方式提供了另一种实现高精度检测到达角AOA的终端设备1中天线辐射体的排布方案,采用参差基线测角方法,即在第二目标方向(俯仰方向)上设置特定间隔排布的三个天线辐射体,其中,第一天线辐射体10与第四天线辐射体18之间的第三间距d 14=a*y,大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一天线辐射体10与第五天线辐射体19之间的第四间距d 15=b*y,也大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,且a与b互为质数,通过上述三个天线辐射体的排布方式,摆脱了检测到达角时天线辐射体之间的间距需要小于或等于电磁波信号的半波长的限制,增加了第一天线辐射体10、第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19排布的灵活度,且增加了第一天线辐射体10、第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19之间的隔离度,同时由于第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以提升终端设备1检测到达角AOA的精度,提升用户体验。
需要说明的是,本实施例第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14等于a﹡y,第四间距d 15等于b﹡y,其中,a与b互为质数可以与上述第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13中的一者小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13中的另一者大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12等于m*x,第二间距d 13等于n*x,其中,m与n互为质数;第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2的三种实施例中的任意一种结合。
另一实施方式中,请参照图20和图21,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2。
可选的,第三间距d 14小于第四间距d 15。例如:第三间距d 14为25mm,第四间距d 15为30mm,其中,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值为5mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;或者,第三间距d 14为25mm,第四间距d 15为35mm,其中,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值为10mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;又或者,第三间距d 14为20mm,第四间距d 15为35mm,其中,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值为15mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;再或者,第三间距d 14为20mm,第四间距d 15为38mm,其中,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值为18mm,等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2等等。
当然,在其他实施方式中,第三间距d 14可以大于第四间距d 15。例如:第三间距d 14为32mm,第四间距d 15为27mm,其中,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值为5mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;或者,第三间距d 14为34mm,第四间距d 15为24mm,其中,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值为10mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;又或者,第三间距d 14为33mm,第四间距d 15为23mm,其中,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值为15mm,小于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;再或者,第三间距d 14为38mm,第四间距d 15为20mm,其中,第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值为18mm,等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2等等。
可选的,如图20所示,目标天线辐射体位于第四天线辐射体18与第五天线辐射体19之间。本申请实施方式中即第一天线辐射体10位于第四天线辐射体18与第五天线辐射体19之间。由于第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,因此使第一天线辐射体10位于第四天线辐射体18与第五天线辐射体19之间可增加第一天线辐射体10、第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19的隔离度,降低第一天线辐射体10、第四线辐射体、第五天线辐射体19接收第一电磁波信号的干扰,提高到达角AOA的精度。当然,在其他实施方式中,如图21所示,第一天线辐射体10、第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19可以依次排列。

换言之,上述实施方式提供了又一种实现高精度检测到达角AOA的终端设备1中天线辐射体的排布方案,采用虚拟基线测角方法,即在第二目标方向(俯仰方向)上设置特定间隔排布的三个天线辐射体,其中,第一天线辐射体10与第四天线辐射体18之间的第三间距d 14大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一天线辐射体10与第五天线辐射体19之间的第四间距d 15也第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,而第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值|d 13-d 12|小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,通过上述三个天线辐射体的排布方式,摆脱了检测到达角时天线辐射体之间的间距需要小于或等于电磁波信号的半波长的限制,增加了第一天线辐射体10、第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19排布的灵活度,且增加了第一天线辐射体10、第四天线辐射体18及第五天线辐射体19之间的隔离度,同时由于第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,可以提升终端设备1检测到达角AOA的精度,提升用户体验。
需要说明的是,本实施例第三间距d 14、第四间距d 15皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第三间距d 14与第四间距d 15之间的差值的绝对值小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2可以与上述第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13中的一者小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13中的另一者大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2;第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12等于m*x,第二间距d 13等于n*x,其中,m与n互为质数;第一间距d 12、第二间距d 13皆大于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2,第一间距d 12与第二间距d 13之间的差值的绝对值小于或等于第一电磁波信号的半波长λ/2的三种实施例中的任意一种结合。
进一步地,终端设备1还包括至少一个第二信号接收单元。本申请对于第二信号接收单元的数量不作具体的限定。举例而言,第二信号接收单元的数量可以为一个、两个等。第二信号接收单元与第四天线辐射体18之间的通路、第二信号接收单元与第五天线辐射体19之间的通路皆可以包括低噪声放大器、滤波器等。第四天线辐射体18、第五天线辐射体19用于将接收到的第一电磁波信号传输至第二信号接收单元。举例而言,终端设备1还包括两个第二信号接收单元。一个第二信号接收单元电连接第四天线辐射体18,用于激励第四天线辐射体18接收第一电磁波信号,另一个第二信号接收单元电连接第五天线辐射体19, 用于激励第五天线辐射体19接收第一电磁波信号;或者,终端设备1还包括一个第二信号接收单元,第二信号接收单元电连接第四天线辐射体18和第五天线辐射体19,第四天线辐射体18、第五天线辐射体19用于将接收到的第一电磁波信号传输至第二信号接收单元。其中,至少一个第二信号接收单元电连接第四天线辐射体18、第五天线辐射体19的方式可以包括直接电连接、间接电连接、耦合馈电等。第二信号接收单元电连接处理器13,可以将第四天线辐射体18、第五天线辐射体19接收第一电磁波信号的信息传递至处理器13。换言之,处理器13可以从第二信号接收单元和第一接收单元处获取第四天线辐射体18与第一天线辐射体10之间接收第一电磁波信号的第三相位差,以及第五天线辐射体19与第一天线辐射体10之间接收第一电磁波信号的第四相位差。

因此基于上述(14)(15),或者(17)、(18),或者(21)、(22)可以看出当d 14、d 15一定时,λ与信号相位差PDOA曲线的斜率成反比,因此λ越小测角精度越大,λ越大无模糊测角范围越大,故本实施例通过设置第四匹配电路、第五匹配电路可以切换不同的频率以调节λ,提高第二角度的精度和解决第二角度
