This platform can measure a variety of multi-beam array antennas with switching angles, and test the communication conditions in different communication environments, such as multiple path effects, co-frequency interference, etc., for multi-beam array antennas with switching angles. Testing provides the best solution. [Previous technology] With the increasing development of mobile communication systems, in order to improve the communication quality, in addition to the continuous improvement of communication technology, how to obtain the best antenna system entities is also a very important issue. Coupled with the maturity of antenna development technology, in order to improve system performance, various new array antennas with switching angles have been continuously developed. In the future, multi-beam array antenna systems with switching angles are bound to replace traditional antenna systems. 〃 奂 Angle of the night beam array antenna is an array form that adapts to the sky, and provides a choice when communicating. It replaces the wide beam of the transmission and washing antenna to improve the communication quality and Reducing signal fading caused by multiple paths significantly improves system performance. For a conventional base station antenna, it usually has a wide beam field type. 'As shown in Figure 8, it is clear in the figure that due to the traditional base 200531344 platform sky, the line 82 wide beam coverage The field $ 81 is relatively large, so it is affected by the interference signals caused by multiple paths and noise around it, which seriously affects the communication quality of the entire mobile network. As shown in FIG. 9 ', the multi-narrow beam field type 91 of the multi-beam array antenna 92 with switching angles and multi-beam switchable characteristics can reduce many unnecessary multiple paths and noise interference, thereby improving overall communication. Quality. After constructing a multi-beam array antenna test platform with a high degree of accuracy, we have also prepared for traditional base stations and: The multi-beam array antenna system with eight switching angles was actually tested and evaluated. In the actual communication environment A, the communication between the base station and the mobile station is often caused by obstacles in the middle and high-rise buildings in the city, and different obstacles caused by the same mountain, which affects the communication quality. Because a multi-beam array antenna with a switching angle (_ has multiple narrow wave numbers, when a channel has a reduced communication quality due to multiple paths, the characteristics of a multi-beam array antenna with a switching angle can be used. , Choose another channel with better communication quality for communication ', so it can effectively avoid the effect of multiple path interference. Therefore, the communication quality of the multi-beam array antenna (ancestor) with "knife change angle" will be better than traditional base stations. ^ Traditional base station antennas only have a wide wave covering a phase angle range of 60 °. This increases the chance of multipath interference from transmission, but when multipath interference occurs, it will not have as many switching angles as there is only a single beam. 200531344 Beam array antenna can be used in Tongjia channel characteristics, so

When the signal quality deteriorates, the device automatically simulates a variety of different switching angles with switching angles. It is used to find the channel with better communication quality, and the actual operation of the beam array antenna. Measurements are provided to improve the quality of multi-beam array multi-beam array antennas with switching angles. Improved solutions for column antennas and peripheral system components. Finally, metal shields are used. The different placement positions of the boards simulate the effect of multiple paths on 12 '200531344 multi-beam array antennas with switching angles, and then compare with traditional antennas. Test the multi-beam array antennas with switching angles and traditional base stations against heavy paths The degree of interference resistance, and from the test results, it proves that the multi-beam array antenna system with switching angle can effectively reduce the influence of channel fading caused by multiple paths and co-frequency interference. ^ In addition, the implementation method of a multi-beam array antenna system test platform with a switching angle is used to estimate the quality of the communication. The vector signal error rate is based on the value of 疋 /, the meaning, and the principle of measurement. We are also here. Explain: The measurement results of the vector signal error rate value can help engineers understand the quality of digitally modulated signals, and use the vector signal error rate (referred to) measurement results (in the time or frequency domain) to find signal degradation. The reason and source. This important measurement index has gradually been incorporated into the specifications of many digital communication systems, such as the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), North American Digital Cellular Operations, etc., and Low Power Mobile Power 4 (PHS). The vector signal error rate (predicate) measurement value is listed as one of the system standards. In the test system of the present invention, the measurement value is used to judge the quality of the communication. Digital blight is essentially a vector modulation signal, that is, by modulating the amplitude and phase angle of the RF carrier wave, the bit stream can be converted into an analog way and transmitted. 'So I- & quot The surface view (see Figure X.), this is a right angle table for the polar block diagram. Any point on the floor plan has its corresponding component, and each point can represent a different symbol (Symbol); a character can be 13 200531344 consisting of several bits. The phase angle and vector size of the vector formed by connecting the circle center to a point represent the “state” of the point: the magnitude and phase of the carrier amplitude when transmitting its corresponding character. Different digital modulation formats have different points on the I-Q plan. The graph formed by it is called State Diagram or Constel 1 at ion. Figure 11 is an example of the state diagram of a microwave digital communication (16QAM) signal. The vector signal error rate (EVM) measurement measures the magnitude of the vector formed between the ideal state position and the actual state position on the I-Q plane. This concept is illustrated graphically, as shown in Figure 12 for the definition of the vector signal error rate. There are two vectors in the figure, one is the Ideal Signal and the other is the Measured Signal. The (state) position of the point corresponding to the former vector represents ideally, that is, the state position to which the signal of the transmitted character should correspond when there is no external interference or deterioration ... The latter represents the actual measurement results. These two vector points form a "Error Vector"; the size of the vector is called the vector signal error rate (EVM). Generally, the measurement method in the instrument is to demodulate the data after receiving the signal. Type, then add and subtract the demodulated signal and the original measured signal to obtain the vector signal error rate (EVM) value, and measure the vector signal error rate displayed in the measuring instrument Value, which can be demodulated over a period of time.

In this experiment, I hope that by The existing equipment of the laboratory has researched and developed a multi-beam array antenna test platform with a switching angle to simulate the switching ability of a multi-beam array antenna system with a switching angle in different angle beam ranges in a real environment. · In this experiment, we tested a four-beam multi-beam array antenna 42 with switching angle. This antenna is composed of a 4 × 2 array of bow tie-type Tie) multi-beam array antenna 42 with switching angle. Nowhere. The antenna 42 has four narrow beams with different angles, respectively # + 12. , + 40 12 and ―40. The polarization direction is vertical polarization and the range of phase angles covered is 60. . This experiment only uses four switching channels; the test frequency is i and the transmission power is -5 dBm; the transmitting end uses a waveguide antenna 41 (Waveguide) to send the spring signal. We will each +40. , +12. , —12. And a 40. Connect to the channels in sequence. Connect iL 3 to facilitate channel switching when finding the best signal. Figure 5 shows the situation of the whole experimental test. When the test is started, switching $ 13 will start to switch to find the best beam angle. When the starting angle of the turntable 16 is 0, the search angle is 12 and the available angle is 12. Channel 1, when we turn, the turntable is angled from 16 to 40. At this time, the motor turns to 12 as shown in Fig. 5a and Fig. 5. And 40. 17 200531344 Schematic diagram (when the rotation angle of the turntable 16 passes by 2), which is equivalent to the beam range of the mobile station moving to the base station in the range of -12. In fact, when the rotation angle leaves the range of the narrow beam of 12 ° The environmental communication product f becomes worse, and the change of the rotation angle also causes the switcher to change from 12. Switch the channel to -12. Channel 2 and finally switch to -40. Narrow beam range. The effect of the aforementioned rotation angle on the measured vector signal error rate value is as listed in Table 1; the rotation angle deviates from 12.

Experiment two: The effect of pseudo-base station antennas and multi-beam array antennas with switching angles on multipath interference. In this experiment, we hope to be able to affect the environmental factors of multi-beam array antennas with switching angles and traditional base station antennas For comparison, we use the multi-beam array of the four beam-beam switching angles used in the previous experiment. • 200531344 column antenna 42 α and traditional base station antenna 51 for comparison. The polarization direction is 45 polarization. One covers a phase angle range of 60. Wide beam, turntable ^ 6 angle does not move 'and use metal stretcher 52 to simulate multipath interference. In this experiment, 5 channels in switcher 13 are used, of which channel 0 to channel 3 are used as a multi-beam array with switching angle. The antenna 42 is used for switching, and the channel 4 is used to receive the signal of the conventional base station antenna 51. The actual measured situation is shown in Figure 6. Its transmitting end is a global mobile communication system signal transmitted by a waveguide antenna (4UWaVeguide), and the receiving end is a multi-beam array antenna with a wide angle. 42 is mounted on the stepper motor. Σ 1 6 The traditional base station antenna 51 is used on the front side of the camera, which can be used to compare the multi-beam array antenna 42 with switching angles that can switch between different angle beams at the same time. It is better than the communication product f of the traditional base station. Next to the turntable are the four ports of the switcher 13 ′ multi-beam array antenna 42 with switching angle (P0⑴ and one port (PQrt) of the traditional base station antenna 51) are connected to the knife changer 13 for easy control. Another vector signal generator} > The vector spectrum analyzer U is connected to the antenna of the transmitting end and the receiving end respectively, which will not be repeated here. During the interposition measurement, the waveguide system 4 is used to transmit the communication system signal. It is confirmed that both the multi-beam array antenna with switching angle ^ and the traditional base station antenna 51 can receive signals normally and maintain good communication quality. The vector signal error rates calculated by the vector spectrum analyzer 14 are both at the boundary value of '200531344'. Below, for example, as shown in Table 2.
