Description
本发明实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种阵列天线及阵列天线的波束对准方法。
阵列天线在微波领域的应用越来越广泛,阵列天线的每个阵元都相应配有一个改变信号相位的移相器,这些移相器通常由电信号进行控制,对于接收信号,阵元将微波信号转化为电信号,移相器将来自阵元的电信号进行移相处理并送到合路器进行合路处理,通过改变这些移相器的相位配置可以改变合路信号对应的接收波束方向。
现有技术中在接收波束方向对准的时候,统计多个接收波束方向上的均值功率,然后确定较优接收波束方向,为了得到准确的均值功率,每个接收波束方向上的检测时间需要足够长,因此接收波束方向对准耗时较长。

为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例的技术方案,下面将对本发明实施例中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面所描述的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。
图1是本发明一个实施例的一种阵列天线的结构示意图。
图2是本发明一个实施例的一种子阵列的结构示意图。
图3是本发明一个实施例的另一种子阵列的结构示意图。
图4是本发明一个实施例的一种阵列天线的波束对准方法流程示意图。
图5是本发明一个实施例的一种子阵列排布示意图。
图6是本发明一个实施例的另一种子阵列排布示意图。
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例,而不是全部实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都应属于本发明保护的范围。
如图1所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种阵列天线的结构示意图,包括子阵列1、子阵列2…子阵列N共N个子阵列,耦合器1、耦合器2…耦合器M共M个耦合器,功率检测器1、功率检测器2…功率检测器M共M个功率检测器,N和M均为大于1的整数,N和M可以相等也可以不相等,阵列天线还包括合路器101和判决器102,合路器101和N个子阵列相连,和其中M个子阵列可以通过M个耦合器相连,判决器102和M个功率检测器相连,M个功率检测器分别和M个耦合器相连。
通信阶段,可以设置N个子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为同一方向,例如全部设置为第一对准方向,这样合路器101接收到N个子阵列的输出信号并进行合路,合路后合路器101的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为第一对准方向,此后可以对合路器101合路后的接收信号进行变频、模数转换等处理(图中未示出),此时M个耦合器可以设置为不工作,即不向功率检测器耦合能量,全部能量被发送到合路器101,M个耦合器也可以设置为工作,即向功率检测器耦合部分能量用于监控。当然也可以仅设置合路器101
合路后的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为第一对准方向,而不用关心每个子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向。
监控调整阶段,和M个耦合器对应的M个子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向需要设置为不同方向,当然也可以配置M个子阵列中的部分子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向相同。此时,M个子阵列以外的子阵列可以设置成原先的对准方向继续工作,如果M个子阵列的接收信号波束方向相对于第一对准方向的方向差别不大,则对合路器101的输出信号影响不大。通过M个功率检测器检测M个子阵列的输出信号的功率,判决器根据M个子阵列的输出信号的功率判断应该选择哪个接收波束方向进行接收,即得到阵列天线的优化对准方向,如果优化对准方向和原先的第一对准方向不同,在接下来的通信阶段,可以使用优化对准方向进行信号接收。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例为了解决接收信号的波束对准问题,因此阵列天线可以只包括图1中的部分组件,例如包括两个子阵列,两个功率检测器以及一个判决器,其它组件及连接关系本发明实施例仅为了方便说明便于理解方案,可以使用其它方式实现或者不实现,本发明实施例对此不做限定。
阵列天线可以包括第一子阵列、第二子阵列、第一功率检测器、第二功率检测器和判决器,其中第一功率检测器和第一子阵列相连,第二功率检测器和第二子阵列相连,判决器和第一功率检测器相连、判决器和第二功率检测器相连,第一功率检测器用于检测第一子阵列的输出信号的功率,第二功率检测器用于检测第二子阵列的输出信号的功率,判决器用于根据第一子阵列的输出信号的功率和第二子阵列的输出信号的功率确定阵列天线第一对准方向。
阵列天线还可以包括,第三子阵列和第三功率检测器,第三功率检测器和第三子阵列相连,判决器和第三功率检测器相连,第三功率检测器用于检测第三子阵列的输出信号的功率,判决器具体用于根据第一子阵列的输出信
号的功率、第二子阵列的输出信号的功率和第三子阵列的输出信号的功率确定阵列天线第一对准方向。
阵列天线还可以包括第四子阵列和第四功率检测器,第四功率检测器和第四子阵列相连,判决器和第四功率检测器相连,第四功率检测器用于检测第四子阵列的输出信号的功率,判决器具体用于根据第一子阵列的输出信号的功率、第二子阵列的输出信号的功率、第三子阵列的输出信号的功率和第四子阵列的输出信号的功率确定阵列天线第一对准方向。
判决器可以具体用于根据第一时刻第一子阵列的输出信号的功率和第一时刻第二子阵列的输出信号的功率确定阵列天线第一对准方向。
阵列天线还可以包括阵列天线合路器,阵列天线合路器和第一子阵列相连,阵列天线合路器和第二子阵列相连,阵列天线合路器用于对来自第一子阵列的信号和来自第二子阵列的信号进行合路处理。如果还有第三子阵列、第四子阵列等,阵列天线合路器还和这些子阵列相连,并将收到子阵列输出信号进行合路处理。
第一功率检测器具体用于检测第一子阵列发送到阵列天线合路器的信号的耦合信号的功率,第二功率检测器具体用于检测第二子阵列发送到阵列天线合路器的信号的耦合信号的功率,即使用图1中耦合器的形式进行信号耦合并送到功率检测器进行功率检测,当然也可以直接把子阵列的输出信号进行功率检测。
对于如何设置子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向,下面通过子阵列的结构进行说明。图1中的子阵列可以通过多种方式进行实现,下面通过图2和图3列举两种进行具体说明。
如图2所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种子阵列的结构示意图,包括阵元1、阵元2…阵元O共O个阵元,移相器1、移相器2…移相器O共O个移相器,还包括1个子阵列合路器201,其中O为大于1的整数。阵元用于接收无线信号,例如可以是微波信号,阵元将接收到的微波信号转换为电信
号,移相器对相应电信号的相位进行移相处理,子阵列合路器201接收来自O个移相器的信号并进行合路处理,如果用到图1所示的阵列天线中,则子阵列合路器201进行合路处理后的输出信号会被送到合路器101中进行后续处理。通过设定移相器的参数可以改变子阵列合路器合路后的信号强度,即可以设置子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向。
下面简单说明下通过设定移相器的参数设置子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向的原理,以O个阵元在空间上排列为一个一维1*O阵列为例,假设各阵元在t时刻收到的信号矢量为R(t)=s(t)[1,ejα,ej2α,...,ej(O-1)α]=s(t)A(α),其中A(α)为入射信号s(t)到达阵列面时的方向矢量;子阵列在θ方向上形成波束时,移相器的加权矢量为W(θ)=[w1(θ),w2(θ),...,wO(θ)],此时,子阵列合路器201进行合路处理得到信号的信号能量P(t)可表示为设置W(θ)=[w1(θ),w2(θ),...,wO(θ)],使得wi(θ)ej(i-1)α=1,即设置子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为A(α)对应的方向。
如图3所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种子阵列的结构示意图,包括Q组,第一组包括阵元11、阵元12…阵元1P共P个阵元,移相器11、移相器12…移相器1P共P个移相器,还包括合路器1,其中P和Q为大于1的整数,每个阵元对应1个移相器,移相后的信号被送到合路器1中,第二组到第Q组的结构和第一组的结构类似,在此不再赘述,Q个合路器合路后的信号被送到子阵列合路器301中,子阵列合路器301接收来自Q个合路器的信号并进行合路处理,如果用到图1所示的阵列天线中,则子阵列合路器301进行合路处理后的信号会被送到合路器101中进行后续处理。通过设定各组移相器的参数可以改变子阵列合路器的输出信号强度,即可以设置子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向。
图3中子阵列合路器301合路后得到的输出信号对应的接收波束方向可以通过各组移相器的设置进行设置,以设置为第一方向为例,具体的,可以
设置移相器11、移相器12…移相器1P共P个移相器,使得合路器1合路后的接收信号对应的波束方向为第一方向,设置其它组移相器,使得合路器2到合路器Q合路后的接收信号对应的波束方向都为第一方向,这样合路器301合路后的接收信号对应的波束方向也为第一方向。当然也可以做其它设置,例如整体设置这P×Q的移相器,使得合路器301合路后的接收信号对应的波束方向为第一方向,而每组合路器的输出信号对应的接收波束方向可能不为第一方向,本发明对此不作限定。
由于阵列天线通常安装在铁塔上面,大风或其它因素都可能导致阵列天线移位,从而需要改变接收信号的波束方向才能够提高接收信号的能量和信噪比等。本发明实施例可以监控调整接收信号对应的波束方向,下面将介绍监控调整接收信号对应的波束方向的方法。
如图4所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种阵列天线的波束对准方法的流程图,该阵列天线至少包括第一子阵列和第二子阵列,该方法包括
S401、设置第一子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为第一方向,设置第二子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为第二方向,所述第二方向和所述第一方向的方向不同。
S402、检测第一子阵列输出信号的功率,检测第二子阵列输出信号的功率。
S403、根据第一子阵列输出信号的功率和第二子阵列输出信号的功率确定阵列天线的第一对准方向。
因为S402可以同时检测第一子阵列输出信号的功率和第二子阵列输出信号的功率,因此可以同时比较第一子阵列输出信号的功率和第二子阵列输出信号的功率进而判断出哪个子阵列对应的接收方向较优。因此步骤S403可以根据第一时刻第一子阵列输出信号的功率和第一时刻第二子阵列输出信号的功率确定阵列天线的第一对准方向。因为仅需要比较第一子阵列输出信号和第二子阵列输出信号在某一时刻的功率值,因此判断速度非常快。当
然,也可以多判断几个时刻的值进行加权平均以保证对准方向判断的准确性。
为了保证第一对准方向判断的准确性和速度,本发明实施例可以用于对准方向的监控调整,即在实施S401之前,阵列天线已经在正常通信工作,例如已经在第二对准方向进行正常接收工作,但是发生了大风或其他因素导致阵列天线的合路器输出信号功率下降,例如低于某一阈值,此时可以启动S401的步骤进行波束对准,也可以设定定时器周期性的启动S401的步骤以监控接收波束方向是否可以优化,当然也可以是其它触发条件触发步骤S401,本发明实施例对此不做限定。
因此在步骤S401之前还可以包括:设置第一子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向和第二子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为第二对准方向,或者设置阵列天线的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为第二对准方向。
步骤S401之前阵列天线在第二对准方向进行正常接收工作,因此后续的监控调整工作可以基于第二对准方向进行监控调整。
如果使用两个子阵列进行对准方向的监控调整,可以设定第一方向和所述第二对准方向之间的夹角和所述第二方向和所述第二对准方向之间的夹角相同,所述第一方向在阵列天线上的投影和所述第二方向在阵列天线上的投影在一条直线上。此时,可以仅比较第一子阵列输出信号的功率和第二子阵列输出信号的功率确定阵列天线的第一对准方向,例如如果第一子阵列输出信号的功率比第二子阵列输出信号的功率大,则可以设定第一方向为第一对准方向,在接下来的通信过程中设定阵列天线的输出信号对应接收方向为第一方向,即第一对准方向。
如果使用三个子阵列进行对准方向的监控调整,步骤S401中还包括设置第三子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为第三方向,可以设定所述第一方向和所述第二对准方向之间的夹角、所述第二方向和所述第二对准方向之间的夹角以及所述第三方向和所述第二对准方向之间的夹角相同,所述第
一方向在阵列天线上的投影、所述第二方向在阵列天线上的投影以及所述第三方向在阵列天线上的投影两两相差120度。步骤S402中还包括检测第三子阵列输出信号的功率。步骤S403具体包括:根据第一子阵列输出信号的功率、第二子阵列输出信号的功率以及第三子阵列输出信号的功率确定阵列天线的第一对准方向,例如可以根据第一时刻第一子阵列输出信号的功率、第一时刻第二子阵列输出信号的功率以及第一时刻第三子阵列输出信号的功率确定阵列天线的第一对准方向。
如果使用四个子阵列进行对准方向的监控调整,步骤S401中还包括设置第三子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为第三方向,设置第四子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为第四方向,可以设定所述第一方向和所述第二对准方向之间的夹角、所述第二方向和所述第二对准方向之间的夹角、所述第三方向和所述第二对准方向之间的夹角以及所述第四方向和所述第二对准方向之间的夹角相同,所述第一方向在阵列天线上的投影、所述第二方向在阵列天线上的投影、所述第三方向在阵列天线上的投影以及所述第四方向在阵列天线上的投影两两相差90度。步骤S402中还包括检测第三子阵列输出信号的功率,检测第四子阵列输出信号的功率。步骤S403具体包括:根据第一子阵列输出信号的功率、第二子阵列输出信号的功率、第三子阵列输出信号的功率以及第四子阵列输出信号的功率确定阵列天线的第一对准方向,例如可以根据第一时刻第一子阵列输出信号的功率、第一时刻第二子阵列输出信号的功率、第一时刻第三子阵列输出信号的功率以及第一时刻第四子阵列输出信号的功率确定阵列天线的第一对准方向。
如果设定定时器周期性的启动S401的步骤以监控接收波束方向是否可以优化,此时原先的第二对准方向可以依然是较优方向而不需要优化,此时需要比较原先的第二对准方向的功率值,例如设定两个子阵列为不同于第二对准方向,设定一个子阵列对应的方向为第二对准方向,则步骤S401还包括设置第五子阵列的输出信号对应的接收波束方向为第二对准方向。步骤
S402还包括检测第五子阵列输出信号的功率。步骤S403具体为:根据第一时刻第一子阵列输出信号的功率、第一时刻第二子阵列输出信号的功率以及第一时刻第五子阵列输出信号的功率确定阵列天线的第一对准方向,例如可以根据第一时刻第一子阵列输出信号的功率、第一时刻第二子阵列输出信号的功率以及第一时刻第五子阵列输出信号的功率确定阵列天线的第一对准方向。当然也可以在使用两个子阵列进行对准方向的监控调整时,设定其中一个的方向为第二对准方向,例如设置第一方向为第二对准方向,第二方向按照已定规则变化,例如绕着第二对准方向转动,从而可以高效的进行对准。
步骤S403中需要根据第一子阵列输出信号的功率和第二子阵列输出信号的功率确定阵列天线的第一对准方向,如果使用两个子阵列进行对准方向的监控调整,则仅根据这两个子阵列的输出信号的功率即可得到第一对准方向,如果使用更多个子阵列进行对准方向的监控调整,则根据相应的子阵列的输出信号的功率即可得到第一对准方向。以使用两个子阵列进行对准方向的监控调整为例,此时为了方便确定第一对准方向,可以配置第一子阵列和第二子阵列的接收面积相等。当然,如果第一子阵列和第二子阵列的接收面积不相等,也可以根据接收面积对第一子阵列输出信号的功率和第二子阵列输出信号的功率进行换算,得到相同面积下的功率值再进行比较确定第一对准方向,也可以使用其它算法进行计算以确定第一对准方向,本发明实施例对此不做限定。
本发明实施例在步骤S403确定第一对准方向时,可以使用简单的方法进行工作,例如如果使用两个子阵列进行对准方向的监控调整,若第一子阵列输出信号的功率大于第二子阵列输出信号的功率,且功率差大于第二阈值,则第一对准方向为第一方向;若第一子阵列输出信号的功率大于第二子阵列输出信号的功率,但功率差小于于第三阈值,通过一定的计算规则计算介于第一方向和第二方向之间的其它方向作为第一对准方向。如果使用两个以上子阵列进行对准方向的监控调整,可以使用类似规则进行第一对准方向
的确定。
为了形象的说明子阵列的可能排布关系以方便理解方案,下面以图5和图6进行简单说明,图5和图6中16个子阵列按照4×4的排列方式构成。
图5中在正常通信的时刻,所有子阵列形成一个单一的接收波束即第二对准方向。
在感知到通信链路的接收功率降低到一个阈值时,***判定链路中的物理设备出现了相对位移,于是启动对准检测进行波束对准。此时,4个2×2子阵列的区域分别形成4个不同指向的独立波束,每个波束均以正常通信时刻的第二对准方向为中心,以一个固定的偏置角度呈“十字”状张开——即每个波束指向与第二对准方向的具有相同的夹角,并且在阵列平面上的投影以90度为间隔相互分开,对应图5中的第一方向,第二方向,第三方向和第四方向。
整个阵列以分级合路的方式将接收信号进行合并——即每个2×2区域的子阵列首先分别进行信号合并,可以参考图3中的合路器301,然后4个区域的合路信号再进行最后的信号合并,可以参考图1中的合路器101。进行对准检测时,在4个子区域的合路信号上分别耦合出4路拷贝信号,可以参考图1中的M个耦合器,然后送入4个独立的功率检测器中进行功率检测,可以参考图1中的M个功率检测器。功率检测器的输出送入判决器进行波束对准方向的判断,可以参考图1中的判决器102,。
判决器在同一时刻同时采样4路功率检测单元的输出进行对比,为避免因信号波动而抓取到低电平时刻的信号,判决单元可以连续采样二或三个时刻的检测功率,并选择其中功率最大时刻的采样值进行对比。若4路输入中存在一个明显的最大功率,则以该功率对应区域的波束方向作为下一周期内正常通信时的第一对准方向,以该区域内移相器的相位偏置值更新整个收发阵列的相位偏置值,从而改变收发波束方向,实现对准;若4路输入中检测到若干个近似的功率,则可以以这些区域波束的等增益交点作为下一周期内
正常通信时的第一对准方向,以这些区域内移相器相位偏置值的均值更新整个收发阵列的相位偏置值,从而改变收发波束方向,实现对准。
图6中在正常通信的时刻,所有阵列形成一个单一的接收波束即第二对准方向。
通信***在时间上周期地分配对准检测时隙,在对准检测时隙内,4个角上的子阵列分别形成4个不同指向的独立波束,每个波束均以正常通信时刻的第二对准方向为中心,以一个固定的偏置角度呈“十字”状张开——即每个波束指向与B的具有相同的夹角,并且在阵列平面上的投影以90度为间隔相互分开。同时,阵列中其他区域的子阵列保持相位配置不变,维持波束方向B,保障检测时刻链路通信正常,对应图6中的第一方向,第二方向,第三方向和第四方向。
在子阵列信号进行合并前,从4个偏转波束的子阵列和任意1个不动波束的子阵列上分别耦合出5路拷贝信号。耦合信号送入5个独立的功率检测器中进行功率检测。功率检测器的输出送入判决器进行波束对准方向的判断。
判决器在同一时刻同时采样5路功率检测单元的输出进行对比,为避免因信号波动而抓取到低电平时刻的信号,判决单元可以连续采样二或三个时刻的检测功率,并选择其中功率最大时刻的采样值进行对比。若5路输入中存在一个明显的最大功率,则以该功率对应区域的波束方向作为下一周期内正常通信时的第一对准方向,以该区域内移相器的相位偏置值更新整个收发阵列的相位偏置值,从而改变收发波束方向,实现对准;若5路输入中检测到若干个近似的功率,则以这些区域波束的等增益交点作为下一周期内正常通信时的第一对准方向,以这些区域内移相器相位偏置值的均值更新整个收发阵列的相位偏置值,从而改变收发波束方向,实现对准。
