随着无线通信技术的飞速发展,在无线通信技术给广大用户带来便利的同时,无线频谱需求量的急剧增加和有限的频谱资源之间的矛盾越来越突出,在这种情况下,采用轨道角动量(orbital angular momentum,OAM)电磁波进行无线通信的技术应运而生。With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, while wireless communication technology brings convenience to users, the contradiction between the sharp increase in wireless spectrum demand and limited spectrum resources has become more and more prominent. In this case, use Orbital angular momentum (orbital angular momentum, OAM) electromagnetic waves for wireless communication technology came into being.
然而,实现OAM电磁波通信的前提是发送端和接收端之间处于轴对准的状态。目前,检测发送端和接收端之间是否轴对准的方法主要是在发送端预先设定要发送的OAM模态,然后通过在接收端检测接收到的OAM信号对应的模态是否为预先设定的OAM模态来进行轴对准的判定。However, the prerequisite for realizing OAM electromagnetic wave communication is the state of axis alignment between the transmitting end and the receiving end. At present, the method of detecting whether the axis is aligned between the sending end and the receiving end is mainly to pre-set the OAM mode to be sent on the sending end, and then detect whether the mode corresponding to the received OAM signal is preset at the receiving end. Determine the axis alignment based on the selected OAM mode.
由于在接收端进行OAM模态检测的复杂度较高,因此往往要求接收端具有高复杂度的信号处理能力,否则容易导致信号处理延迟较大。Due to the high complexity of OAM modal detection at the receiving end, the receiving end is often required to have high-complexity signal processing capabilities, otherwise it will easily lead to a large signal processing delay.

目前,常用的移动通信、广播电视以及卫星通信等均是基于平面电磁波来进行数据的传输,其中,平面电磁波的等相位面与传播轴垂直。而OAM电磁波的等相位面则是沿着传播方向呈螺旋上升的形态,因此,OAM电磁波往往又称为“涡旋电磁波”。如图1所示,图1为本申请实施例提供的OAM电磁波与平面电磁波的结构对比示意图。At present, commonly used mobile communications, broadcast television, and satellite communications are all based on plane electromagnetic waves for data transmission, in which the isophase plane of the plane electromagnetic waves is perpendicular to the propagation axis. The isophase surface of OAM electromagnetic wave is spirally rising along the propagation direction. Therefore, OAM electromagnetic wave is often called "vortex electromagnetic wave". As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure comparison between the OAM electromagnetic wave and the plane electromagnetic wave provided by the embodiment of the application.

Generally speaking, when the electromagnetic wave field strength function contains a phase factor related to the spatial azimuth

At this time, the electromagnetic wave can be referred to as an OAM electromagnetic wave with a mode of 1. For details, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of OAM electromagnetic waves in different modes according to an embodiment of the application. Among them, Figure 2 (a) shows the plane electromagnetic wave with the isophase plane perpendicular to the propagation direction, that is, the corresponding OAM electromagnetic wave with mode 0; Figure 2 (b) shows the OAM electromagnetic wave with mode 1, along Observing the transmission axis, in a period, the phase of its electric field gradually changes 360° around the transmission axis, so it has

The phase factor of; Figure 2 (c) shows the OAM electromagnetic wave with mode 2, observed along the transmission axis, within a period, the electric field phase gradually changes 720° around the transmission axis, so it has

In the same way, (d) in Figure 2 represents the OAM electromagnetic wave with mode 3.
由于不同模态的OAM电磁波相互正交,在无线传输过程中,可以在同一载波上将信息加载到具有不同模态的OAM电磁波上,而相互之间并不影响。理论上在同一频段可以具有无限个相互正交的模态,因此通过在同一载波频率复用OAM电磁波,可以提升无线通信中信息传输的频谱效率。但是,在采用OAM电磁波进行通信的过程中,需要在收发两端(即发送端和接收端)轴对准的前提下才能实现高效率的模态信号接收。在非对准状态下进行模态信号接收则会造成接收功率下降和模间串扰,从而影响OAM信号的解调。Since the OAM electromagnetic waves of different modes are orthogonal to each other, in the wireless transmission process, information can be loaded on the OAM electromagnetic waves with different modes on the same carrier without affecting each other. In theory, there can be an infinite number of mutually orthogonal modes in the same frequency band. Therefore, by reusing OAM electromagnetic waves at the same carrier frequency, the spectral efficiency of information transmission in wireless communication can be improved. However, in the process of using OAM electromagnetic waves for communication, it is necessary to achieve high-efficiency modal signal reception under the premise that the transmission and reception ends (that is, the transmitting end and the receiving end) are aligned. Receiving modal signals in a non-aligned state will cause a drop in received power and inter-modal crosstalk, which will affect the demodulation of OAM signals.
当前,检测发送端和接收端之间是否轴对准的方法主要是在发送端预先设定要发送的OAM模态,然后通过在接收端检测接收到的OAM信号对应的模态是否为预先设定的OAM模态来进行轴对准的判定。然而,由于在接收端进行OAM模态检测的复杂度较高,因此往往要求接收端具有高复杂度的信号处理能力,即要求接收端中具有信号处理能力较强的硬件,否则,在接收端中的硬件的信号处理能力较差的情况下,容易导致信号处理延迟较大,难以正常进行OAM轴对准的判定。At present, the method of detecting whether the axis is aligned between the sending end and the receiving end is mainly to pre-set the OAM mode to be sent on the sending end, and then detect whether the mode corresponding to the received OAM signal is preset at the receiving end. Determine the axis alignment based on the selected OAM mode. However, due to the high complexity of OAM modal detection at the receiving end, the receiving end is often required to have high-complexity signal processing capabilities, that is, the receiving end is required to have hardware with strong signal processing capabilities. Otherwise, the receiving end If the signal processing capability of the hardware in the system is poor, the signal processing delay is likely to be large, and it is difficult to determine the OAM axis alignment normally.
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提出了一种信号处理方法,通过计算天线的接收信号之间的相位差,并且根据不同的相位差之间的差值来确定接收端和发送端之间的轴对准状态,在OAM轴对准的判定过程中,只需要检测接收信号之间的相位差,而无需对OAM模态进行检测,能够有效地降低信号处理的复杂度,从而保证接收端能够正常地进行OAM轴对准的判定。In view of this, an embodiment of the present application proposes a signal processing method, which calculates the phase difference between the received signals of the antenna, and determines the axis between the receiving end and the transmitting end according to the difference between the different phase differences. In the alignment state, in the OAM axis alignment determination process, only the phase difference between the received signals needs to be detected, without the need to detect the OAM mode, which can effectively reduce the complexity of signal processing, thereby ensuring that the receiving end can be normal The OAM axis alignment is judged accordingly.

Determine the first phase difference between the first received signal and the second received signal, and the second phase difference between the second received signal and the third received signal, where the first received signal is received by the first antenna. The first orbital angular momentum OAM signal of, the second received signal is the first OAM signal received by the second antenna, and the third received signal is the first OAM signal received by the third antenna;
在本实施例中,发送端可以向接收端发送OAM信号(即第一OAM信号),然后接收端通过部署于接收端上的天线来接收发送端所发送的第一OAM信号。其中,接收端上至少部署有三个用于接收第一OAM信号的天线,具体可以包括第一天线、第二天线和第三天线。第一天线、第二天线和第三天线分别独立接收发送端所发送的第一OAM信号,第一天线所接收到的OAM信号称为第一接收信号,第二天线所接收到的OAM信号称为第二接收信号,第三天线所接收到的OAM信号称为第三接收信号。In this embodiment, the sending end may send an OAM signal (that is, the first OAM signal) to the receiving end, and then the receiving end receives the first OAM signal sent by the sending end through an antenna disposed on the receiving end. Wherein, at least three antennas for receiving the first OAM signal are deployed on the receiving end, which may specifically include a first antenna, a second antenna, and a third antenna. The first antenna, the second antenna, and the third antenna respectively independently receive the first OAM signal sent by the transmitting end. The OAM signal received by the first antenna is called the first received signal, and the OAM signal received by the second antenna is called It is the second received signal, and the OAM signal received by the third antenna is called the third received signal.
接收端可以分别获取三个天线所接收到的OAM信号,然后确定第一接收信号和第二接收信号之间的第一相位差,以及第二接收信号和第三接收信号之间的第二相位差。需要说 明的是,第一相位差可以是指三个接收信号中任意两个接收信号之间的相位差,而第二相位差则可以是该任意两个接收信号中的任意一个接收信号与另一个接收信号的相位差,例如,第一相位差可以是第一接收信号和第三接收信号之间的相位差,而第二相位差可以是第二接收信号和第三接收信号之间的相位差;或者第一相位差可以是第一接收信号和第二接收信号之间的相位差,而第二相位差可以是第一接收信号和第三接收信号之间的相位差,在此并不具体限定。The receiving end can separately obtain the OAM signals received by the three antennas, and then determine the first phase difference between the first received signal and the second received signal, and the second phase between the second received signal and the third received signal difference.

If the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is less than or equal to the calibration threshold, it can be determined that the state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is the axis-aligned state; on the contrary, if the first phase difference and the second phase difference If the difference between the differences is greater than the calibration threshold, it can be determined that the state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is an axis misalignment state.
在一些可选的实施例中,校准阈值具体可以是预先设置的一个阈值,该阈值可以是在发送端和接收端处于轴对准状态下,所测量得到的一个阈值。例如,在确定发送端和接收端处于轴对准状态的情况下,可以通过与步骤401类似的方式获得第一天线和第二天线所接收到的OAM信号之间的相位差,以及第二天线和第三天线所接收到的OAM信号之间的相位差,然后通过求取这两个相位差的差值来获取校准阈值。In some optional embodiments, the calibration threshold may specifically be a preset threshold, and the threshold may be a threshold measured when the transmitting end and the receiving end are in axis alignment. For example, in the case where it is determined that the transmitting end and the receiving end are in axis alignment, the phase difference between the OAM signals received by the first antenna and the second antenna can be obtained in a similar manner to step 401, and the second antenna And the phase difference between the OAM signal received by the third antenna, and then obtain the calibration threshold by calculating the difference between the two phase differences.
本申请实施例中,接收端通过计算天线所对应的接收信号两两之间的相位差,并且根据不同的相位差之间的差值来确定接收端和发送端之间的轴对准状态,只需要通过确定接收信号之间的相位差即可实现轴对准状态的判定,而无需对OAM模态进行检测,能够有效地降低信号处理的复杂度,保证接收端能够正常地进行OAM轴对准的判定。In the embodiment of the present application, the receiving end calculates the phase difference between the two received signals corresponding to the antenna, and determines the axis alignment state between the receiving end and the transmitting end according to the difference between the different phase differences. Only by determining the phase difference between the received signals, the axis alignment status can be determined without detecting the OAM mode, which can effectively reduce the complexity of signal processing and ensure that the receiving end can perform OAM axis alignment normally.

Specifically, determining the first angle difference may specifically first determine the first azimuth angle and the second azimuth angle of the first antenna and the second antenna with respect to the axial position to be aligned, and the first azimuth angle and the second azimuth angle The angle difference is used to determine the first angle difference. In the same way, the second angle difference can be determined by first determining the second azimuth angle and the third azimuth angle of the second antenna and the third antenna with respect to the axial position to be aligned, and the second azimuth angle and the third azimuth angle are determined by comparing the second azimuth angle and the third azimuth angle. The angle difference is used to determine the second angle difference.

It shows the azimuth angle of antenna 1 relative to the center of the circle in the antenna array; antenna 2 is located at the upper left corner of the figure,
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000005
It shows the azimuth angle of the antenna 2 relative to the center of the circle in the antenna array; the antenna 3 is located at the lower left corner of the figure,
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000006
It shows the azimuth angle of the antenna 3 relative to the center of the circle in the antenna array; the antenna 4 is located at the lower right corner of the figure,
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000007
It shows the azimuth angle of the antenna 4 relative to the center of the circle in the antenna array. Since the four antennas are arranged in a uniform circular shape, that is, the angle difference between two adjacent antennas is equal, that is, in Figure 6,
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000008
Obviously, in a uniform circular antenna array, the receiving end can determine that the first angle difference and the second angle difference are equal.
在一些可选的实施例中,接收端中的天线还可以是除均匀圆形阵列之外的其他排布形式,在这种情况下,接收端可以先确定待对准轴心位置,并且选取与该待对准轴心位置距离相等的多个天线,组成一个圆形阵列,然后再获取圆形阵列中天线所对应的第一接收信号、第二接收信号以及第三接收信号,也就是说,步骤501中的第一接收信号、第二接收信号和第三接收信号是通过获取该圆形阵列中的第一天线、第二天线以及第三天线所接收到的OAM信号来得到的。在选取多个天线组成圆形阵列之后,则可以根据第一天线、第二天线以及第三天线相对于待对准轴心位置的方位角确定第一角度差和第二角度差。可以理解的是,由于上述由多个天线所组成的圆形阵列并非是均匀圆形阵列,因此与均匀圆形阵列有所区别的是,该圆形阵列中相邻的两个天线之间的角度差并不是相等的,也就是说,第一天线和第二天线之间相对于待对准轴心位置的第一角度差与第二天线和第三天线之间相对于待对准轴心位置的第二角度差是不相等的。In some optional embodiments, the antennas in the receiving end can also be arranged in other forms besides a uniform circular array. In this case, the receiving end can first determine the position of the axis to be aligned, and select Multiple antennas with the same distance from the position of the axis to be aligned form a circular array, and then the first received signal, second received signal, and third received signal corresponding to the antennas in the circular array are obtained, that is, , The first received signal, the second received signal, and the third received signal in step 501 are obtained by obtaining the OAM signals received by the first antenna, the second antenna, and the third antenna in the circular array. After selecting a plurality of antennas to form a circular array, the first angle difference and the second angle difference can be determined according to the azimuth angles of the first antenna, the second antenna, and the third antenna relative to the position of the axis to be aligned. It is understandable that, because the circular array composed of multiple antennas is not a uniform circular array, it is different from a uniform circular array in that the distance between two adjacent antennas in the circular array is The angle difference is not equal, that is, the first angle difference between the first antenna and the second antenna relative to the axis to be aligned and the second antenna and the third antenna relative to the axis to be aligned The second angular difference in position is not equal.
在确定第一角度差和第二角度差之后,可以基于第一角度差和第二角度差之间的关系(即第一角度差和第二角度差是否相等),来确定后续第一相位差和第二相位差的确定方式以及轴对准状态的判定方式,因此,在本申请实施例中,步骤503和步骤504叙述的是在第一角度差和第二角度差相等的情况下,对应的轴对准状态判定过程;步骤505和步骤506叙述的则是在第一角度差和第二角度差不相等的情况下,对应的轴对准状态判定过程。After determining the first angle difference and the second angle difference, the subsequent first phase difference can be determined based on the relationship between the first angle difference and the second angle difference (that is, whether the first angle difference and the second angle difference are equal) And the second phase difference determination method and the axis alignment state determination method. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, steps 503 and 504 describe that when the first angle difference and the second angle difference are equal, the corresponding Step 505 and step 506 describe the determination process of the corresponding axis alignment state when the first angle difference and the second angle difference are not equal.
需要说明的是,由于在接收端中,接收端上所部署的天线的位置是固定的,因此,对于同一个接收端来说,在大部分情况下,该接收端所对应的第一角度差和第二角度差也是固定的,显然该接收端可以预先获取到第一角度差和第二角度差之间是否相等的信息,然 后在实际应用过程中,可以直接根据接收端中第一角度差和第二角度差之间的关系来执行后续的判定步骤,而不必需要在每一次轴对准判定过程中都进行一次第一角度差和第二角度差的确定以及对比。可以理解的是,接收端也可以在每次轴对准判定过程中,进行第一角度差和第二角度差的确定以及对比之后,再执行后续的判定步骤,在此并不做具体限定。It should be noted that, since the position of the antenna deployed on the receiving end is fixed in the receiving end, for the same receiving end, in most cases, the first angle difference corresponding to the receiving end is The difference between the second angle and the second angle is also fixed. Obviously, the receiving end can obtain information about whether the first angle difference and the second angle difference are equal, and then in the actual application process, it can be directly based on the first angle difference in the receiving end. The relationship between the second angle difference and the second angle difference is used to perform the subsequent determination steps, and it is not necessary to determine and compare the first angle difference and the second angle difference once in each axis alignment determination process. It is understandable that the receiving end may also perform the subsequent determination steps after determining and comparing the first angle difference and the second angle difference during each axis alignment determination process, which is not specifically limited here.
503、若第一角度差和第二角度差相等,则根据第一接收相位和第二接收相位确定第一相位差,以及根据第二接收相位和第三接收相位确定第二相位差;503. If the first angle difference and the second angle difference are equal, determine the first phase difference according to the first reception phase and the second reception phase, and determine the second phase difference according to the second reception phase and the third reception phase;
在本实施例中,在第一角度差和第二角度差相等的情况下,接收端可以直接根据第一接收信号对应的第一接收相位和第二接收信号对应的第二接收相位确定第一相位差,以及根据第二接收信号对应的第二接收相位和第三接收信号对应的第三接收相位确定第二相位差。例如,如图6所示,φ 1,φ 2,φ 3和φ 4分别为天线1、天线2、天线3和天线4对应的接收相位,因此,天线1和天线2之间的第一相位差为φ 12=φ 12,天线2和天线3之间的第二相位差为φ 23=φ 23,也就是说,通过求取两个接收相位之间的差值来获得对应的相位差。其中,第一相位差指的是第一接收相位和第二接收相位之间的差值,第二相位差指的是第二接收相位和第三接收相位之间的差值。若φ 12>180°,则φ 12=φ 12-360°;若φ 12≤-180°,则φ 12=φ 12+360°,同理,可以得到φ 23In this embodiment, when the first angle difference and the second angle difference are equal, the receiving end can directly determine the first received phase according to the first received phase corresponding to the first received signal and the second received phase corresponding to the second received signal. The phase difference, and the second phase difference is determined according to the second received phase corresponding to the second received signal and the third received phase corresponding to the third received signal. For example, as shown in Figure 6, φ 1 , φ 2 , φ 3 and φ 4 are the receiving phases corresponding to antenna 1, antenna 2, antenna 3, and antenna 4, respectively. Therefore, the first phase between antenna 1 and antenna 2 The difference is φ 12 = φ 1- φ 2 , and the second phase difference between antenna 2 and antenna 3 is φ 23 = φ 2- φ 3 , that is, by calculating the difference between the two reception phases Obtain the corresponding phase difference. Wherein, the first phase difference refers to the difference between the first reception phase and the second reception phase, and the second phase difference refers to the difference between the second reception phase and the third reception phase. If φ 12 >180°, then φ 1212 -360°; if φ 12 ≤-180°, then φ 1212 +360°, the same is true, Φ 23 can be obtained.
504、若第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值小于或等于第一校准阈值,则确定接收端与发送端之间的状态为轴对准状态;504. If the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold, determine that the state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is the axis-aligned state;
在本实施例中,如果第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值小于或等于第一校准阈值,则可以确定接收端与发送端之间的状态是轴对准状态;相反,如果第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值大于第一校准阈值,则可以确定接收端与发送端之间的状态是轴未对准状态。In this embodiment, if the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold, it can be determined that the state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is the axis-aligned state; on the contrary, if If the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is greater than the first calibration threshold, it can be determined that the state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is an axis misalignment state.
在一些可选的实施例中,第一校准阈值具体可以是预先设置的一个阈值,该阈值可以是在发送端和接收端处于轴对准状态下,所测量得到的一个阈值。例如,在确定发送端和接收端处于轴对准状态的情况下,可以通过与步骤503类似的方式获得第一天线和第二天线所接收到的OAM信号之间的相位差,以及第二天线和第三天线所接收到的OAM信号之间的相位差,然后通过求取这两个相位差的差值来获取第一校准阈值。In some optional embodiments, the first calibration threshold may specifically be a preset threshold, and the threshold may be a threshold measured when the transmitting end and the receiving end are in an axis-aligned state. For example, in the case where it is determined that the transmitting end and the receiving end are in axis alignment, the phase difference between the OAM signals received by the first antenna and the second antenna can be obtained in a similar manner to step 503, and the second antenna And the phase difference between the OAM signal received by the third antenna, and then obtain the first calibration threshold by calculating the difference between the two phase differences.
505、若第一角度差和第二角度差不相等,根据第一接收相位和第二接收相位之间的相位差以及第一角度差确定第一相位差,以及根据第二接收相位和第三接收相位之间的相位差以及第二角度差确定第二相位差;505. If the first angle difference and the second angle difference are not equal, determine the first phase difference according to the phase difference between the first reception phase and the second reception phase and the first angle difference, and determine the first phase difference according to the second reception phase and the third Determining the second phase difference by the phase difference between the received phases and the second angle difference;
在本实施例中,在第一角度差和第二角度差不相等的情况下,接收端可以根据第一接收相位和第二接收相位之间的相位差以及第一角度差确定第一相位差,以及根据第二接收相位和第三接收相位之间的相位差以及第二角度差确定第二相位差。具体地,可以通过将第一接收相位和第二接收相位之间的相位差除以第一角度差来得到第一相位差,通过将第二接收相位和第三接收相位之间的相位差除以第二角度差来得到第二相位差。例如,假设第一接收相位、第二接收相位以及第三接收相位分别为φ 1,φ 2和φ 3,第一天线、第二天线以及第三天线对应的方位角分别为
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000009
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000010
那么,第一相位差和第二相位差分别可 以通过以下的公式求得:
In this embodiment, in the case that the first angle difference and the second angle difference are not equal, the receiving end can determine the first phase difference according to the phase difference between the first receiving phase and the second receiving phase and the first angle difference. , And the second phase difference is determined according to the phase difference between the second reception phase and the third reception phase and the second angle difference. Specifically, the first phase difference can be obtained by dividing the phase difference between the first reception phase and the second reception phase by the first angle difference, and by dividing the phase difference between the second reception phase and the third reception phase The second phase difference is obtained by the second angle difference. For example, assuming that the first receiving phase, the second receiving phase, and the third receiving phase are respectively φ 1 , φ 2 and φ 3 , the azimuth angles corresponding to the first antenna, the second antenna, and the third antenna are respectively

In other words, the first phase difference is actually the relative phase corresponding to each degree of physical angle between the first antenna and the second antenna, and the second phase difference is actually each degree between the second antenna and the third antenna. The relative phase corresponding to the physical angle.
506、若第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值小于或等于第二校准阈值,则确定接收端与发送端之间的状态为轴对准状态。506. If the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is less than or equal to the second calibration threshold, it is determined that the state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is the axis-aligned state.
在本实施例中,如果第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值小于或等于第一校准阈值,则可以确定接收端与发送端之间的状态是轴对准状态;相反,如果第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值大于第一校准阈值,则可以确定接收端与发送端之间的状态是轴未对准状态。In this embodiment, if the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold, it can be determined that the state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is the axis-aligned state; on the contrary, if If the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is greater than the first calibration threshold, it can be determined that the state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is an axis misalignment state.

为了便于理解,以下将对本申请实施例中通过来相位差进行轴对准状态判定的原理进行详细说明。For ease of understanding, the principle of determining the axis alignment state by phase difference in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below.
OAM波束在传输过程中有两个相位角因子,一个是由于路径造成的相位exp(j2πd mn/λ),其中,d mn是发送端天线m到接收端天线n的距离,λ为波长;另一个则是OAM在波前方向上的相位
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000018
其中,l是OAM的模态,
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000019
为天线的方位角。在接收端,由于路径不同,不同天线间因波束到达角而形成相位差
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000020
由于OAM模态,不同天线间形成相位差。以均匀圆形阵列为例,当用均匀圆形阵列接收OAM信号时,均匀圆形阵列中不同的天线所接收到的信号的相位差包含上述两种相位差。当收发两端轴对准时,均匀圆形阵列中相邻的天线由于波束到达角而造成的相位差是相等的,由于OAM模态造成的相位差也是相等的,使得整体的相位差基本相同。而当收发两端轴未对准时,均匀圆形阵列中不同的天线相对于发送端的位置是不同的,因此相邻的天线由于波束到达角造成的相位差是不相同的,并且由于OAM模态所造成的相位差也不一定相同,从而造成整体相位差不同。因此,可以通过检测相邻天线相位差的方式来判定轴对准状态。
The OAM beam has two phase angle factors during the transmission process, one is the phase exp(j2πd mn /λ) caused by the path, where d mn is the distance from the transmitting antenna m to the receiving antenna n, and λ is the wavelength; the other is One is the phase of OAM in the front of the wave
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000018
Among them, l is the mode of OAM,
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000019
Is the azimuth angle of the antenna. At the receiving end, due to different paths, different antennas form a phase difference due to the beam arrival angle
Figure PCTCN2020113732-appb-000020
Due to the OAM mode, a phase difference is formed between different antennas. Taking a uniform circular array as an example, when a uniform circular array is used to receive OAM signals, the phase difference of signals received by different antennas in the uniform circular array includes the above two phase differences. When the transmitting and receiving ends are axially aligned, the phase difference caused by the beam arrival angle of the adjacent antennas in the uniform circular array is equal, and the phase difference caused by the OAM mode is also equal, making the overall phase difference basically the same. When the axes of the transmitting and receiving ends are not aligned, the positions of the different antennas in the uniform circular array relative to the transmitting end are different, so the phase difference caused by the beam arrival angle of adjacent antennas is different, and due to the OAM mode The resulting phase difference is not necessarily the same, resulting in a different overall phase difference. Therefore, the axis alignment state can be determined by detecting the phase difference between adjacent antennas.
同理,对于非均匀圆形阵列,当用非均匀圆形阵列接收OAM信号时,非均匀圆形阵列中不同的天线所接收到的信号的相位差同样包含上述两种相位差。当收发两端轴对准时,非均匀圆形阵列中不同的天线由于波束到达角造成的相位差是相等的,而相邻的天线之间由于OAM模态所造成的相位差则是与天线之间的角度差是成正比的,也就是说,单位角度内的相位差是相等的,因此,本申请实施例中可以通过比较不同的天线之间的每一度物理角度所对应的相对相位来判定轴对准状态。Similarly, for a non-uniform circular array, when the non-uniform circular array is used to receive OAM signals, the phase difference of the signals received by different antennas in the non-uniform circular array also includes the above two phase differences. When the transmitting and receiving ends are aligned, the phase difference caused by the beam arrival angle of the different antennas in the non-uniform circular array is equal, while the phase difference between adjacent antennas due to the OAM mode is the same as that of the antenna. The angle difference between the antennas is proportional, that is, the phase difference within a unit angle is equal. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the relative phase corresponding to each degree of physical angle between different antennas can be compared to determine Axis alignment status.
以上为对接收端进行轴对准状态的判定过程所进行的叙述,以下将结合在判定得到接收端与发送端之间为轴未对准状态之后所进行的过程进行详细的描述。为了便于叙述,以下将以接收端中的天线为均匀圆形天线阵列为例来进行描述,可以理解的是,当接收端中的天线为非均匀圆形阵列时,同样适用于以下所描述的实施例。The above is the description of the process of determining the axis alignment state of the receiving end, and the following will describe in detail the process performed after determining that the axis misalignment state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is obtained. For ease of description, the following description will take the antenna at the receiving end as a uniform circular antenna array as an example. It can be understood that when the antenna at the receiving end is a non-uniform circular array, the same applies to the following description Examples.
可以参阅图7,图7为本申请实施例提供的一种信号处理方法的另一实施例的流程示意图,本申请实施例提供的一种信号处理方法的另一个实施例,包括:Refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a schematic flowchart of another embodiment of a signal processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Another embodiment of a signal processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application includes:
701、发送端向接收端发送第一OAM信号;701. The sending end sends a first OAM signal to the receiving end.
本实施例中,发送端可以将调制后的数字信号加载在OAM信号上,并且通过相应的OAM天线向接收端发送该OAM信号,并且经过空口后到达接收端,从而使得接收端可以接收到发送端所发送的第一OAM信号。In this embodiment, the transmitting end can load the modulated digital signal on the OAM signal, and send the OAM signal to the receiving end through the corresponding OAM antenna, and reach the receiving end after passing through the air interface, so that the receiving end can receive the transmitted signal. The first OAM signal sent by the terminal.
702、接收端获取第一相位差和第二相位差;702. The receiving end obtains the first phase difference and the second phase difference.
本实施例中,接收端在接收到发送端所发送的第一OAM信号之后,可以通过计算第一天线、第二天线以及第三天线对应的接收相位来求取第一相位差和第二相位差。其中,接收端获取第一相位差和第二相位差的方式与上述的步骤501至503类似,此处不再赘述。In this embodiment, after the receiving end receives the first OAM signal sent by the transmitting end, the first phase difference and the second phase can be obtained by calculating the receiving phases corresponding to the first antenna, the second antenna, and the third antenna. difference. Wherein, the manner in which the receiving end obtains the first phase difference and the second phase difference is similar to the foregoing steps 501 to 503, and will not be repeated here.
703、接收端判断第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值是否小于或等于第一校准阈值;703. The receiving end determines whether the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold.
本实施例中,在接收端获取到相应的第一相位差和第二相位差之后,可以判断第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值是否小于或等于第一校准阈值,如果第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值小于或等于第一校准阈值,则转至执行步骤704;如果第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值大于第一校准阈值,则转至执行步骤705。In this embodiment, after the receiving end obtains the corresponding first phase difference and second phase difference, it can be determined whether the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold. The difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold, then go to step 704; if the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is greater than the first calibration threshold, then Go to step 705.
704、接收端确定接收端与发送端之间的状态为轴对准状态,向发送端发送轴对准反馈信息;704. The receiving end determines that the state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is the axis alignment state, and sends axis alignment feedback information to the transmitting end;
本实施例中,接收端在判断得到第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值小于或等于第一校准阈值的情况下,可以确定接收端与发送端之间的状态为轴对准状态,并且向发送端发送轴对准反馈信息,从而使得发送端将该OAM信号对应的波束方向确定为轴对准方向,即在发送端与接收端的后续通信过程中,发送端可以通过该波束方向上的OAM信号向接收端传输数据。In this embodiment, when the receiving end determines that the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold, it can determine that the state between the receiving end and the sending end is axis alignment Status, and send axis alignment feedback information to the transmitter, so that the transmitter determines the beam direction corresponding to the OAM signal as the axis alignment direction, that is, during the subsequent communication process between the transmitter and the receiver, the transmitter can pass the beam The OAM signal in the direction transmits data to the receiving end.
705、接收端对接收信号进行移相,并基于移相后的接收信号确定新的相位差;705. The receiving end shifts the phase of the received signal, and determines a new phase difference based on the phase-shifted received signal.
本实施例中,接收端在判断得到第一相位差和第二相位差之间的差值大于第一校准阈值的情况下,可以确定接收端与发送端之间的状态为轴未对准状态,因此,在接收端上可以对接收信号进行移相,以进行轴对准调节。具体地,接收端可以对第一接收信号、第二接收信号和第三接收信号进行移相,例如通过移相器对上述的接收信号进行移相,得到移相后的第一接收信号、移相后的第二接收信号和移相后的第三接收信号,然后确定移相后的第一接收信号和移相后的第二接收信号之间的第三相位差,以及移相后的第二接收信号和移相后的第三接收信号之间的第四相位差。In this embodiment, when the receiving end determines that the difference between the first phase difference and the second phase difference is greater than the first calibration threshold, it can be determined that the state between the receiving end and the transmitting end is an axis misalignment state Therefore, the received signal can be phase-shifted on the receiving end to adjust the axis alignment. Specifically, the receiving end may phase-shift the first received signal, the second received signal, and the third received signal, for example, use a phase shifter to phase-shift the above-mentioned received signal to obtain the phase-shifted first received signal, The second received signal after the phase and the third received signal after the phase shift, and then the third phase difference between the first received signal after the phase shift and the second received signal after the phase shift, and the first received signal after the phase shift are determined. The fourth phase difference between the second received signal and the phase-shifted third received signal.
706、接收端判断第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值是否小于或等于第一校准阈值;706. The receiving end determines whether the difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold.
本实施例中,接收端在对接收信号进行移相并且获取到了移相后的接收信号对应的第三相位差和第四相位差之后,可以求取第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值,并且判断第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值是否小于或等于第一校准阈值。也就是说,在接收端基于初始接收到的OAM信号确定其与发送端之间处于轴未对准状态的情况下,接收端通过对接收信号进行移相来实现轴对准调节,并且在对接收信号进行移相之后,继续基于移相后的接收信号判定其与发送端之间的轴对准状态。如果在对接收信号进行移相之后,得到的第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值小于或等于第一校准阈值,则可以转至执行步骤704。In this embodiment, after the receiving end shifts the phase of the received signal and obtains the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference corresponding to the phase-shifted received signal, it can find the difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference And determine whether the difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold. In other words, when the receiving end determines that it is in a misaligned state with the transmitting end based on the initially received OAM signal, the receiving end realizes the shaft alignment adjustment by shifting the phase of the received signal, and After the received signal is phase-shifted, continue to determine the axis alignment state between it and the transmitting end based on the phase-shifted received signal. If after the received signal is phase-shifted, the obtained difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold, then step 704 may be transferred to.
需要说明的是,在接收端中,可以对接收信号进行一次或者多次移相,在对接收信号进行一次移相的情况下,如果得到的第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值大于第一校准阈值,则可以转至执行步骤707;在对接收信号进行多次移相的情况下,可以在每一次对接收信号进行移相之后,均通过移相后的接收信号求取相应的第三相位差和第四相位差,并且判断第三相位差和第四相位差是否小于或等于第一校准阈值,如果第三相位差和第四相位差小于或等于第一校准阈值,则同样可以转至执行步骤704,否则,重复执行对接收信号进行移相、基于移相后的接收信号确定新的第三相位差和第四相位差并且判断新的第三相位差和第四相位差是否满足差值小于或等于第一校准阈值的条件,直至已经执行了预置次数的移相操作。如果,在经过多次移相之后,每次移相后所求取得到的第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值仍然是大于第一校准阈值,则转至执行步骤707。It should be noted that at the receiving end, the received signal can be phase-shifted one or more times. In the case of one-time phase-shifting of the received signal, if the difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference is obtained If the value is greater than the first calibration threshold, you can go to step 707; if the received signal is phase-shifted multiple times, the received signal can be obtained from the phase-shifted received signal after each phase-shifting of the received signal. Corresponding to the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference, and determine whether the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference are less than or equal to the first calibration threshold, if the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference are less than or equal to the first calibration threshold, Then you can also go to step 704, otherwise, repeat the phase shift of the received signal, determine the new third phase difference and the fourth phase difference based on the phase-shifted received signal, and determine the new third phase difference and the fourth phase difference. Whether the phase difference satisfies the condition that the difference value is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold, until a preset number of phase shift operations have been performed. If, after multiple phase shifts, the difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference obtained after each phase shift is still greater than the first calibration threshold, then go to step 707.
707、接收端向发送端发送轴未对准反馈信息;707. The receiving end sends feedback information of axis misalignment to the sending end;
本实施例中,在接收端通过对接收信号进行一次或多次移相之后,接收端与发送端仍然处于轴未对准状态时,由接收端向发送端发送轴未对准反馈信息,该轴未对准反馈信息用于指示发送端向接收端发送新的OAM信号,且该新的OAM信号的波束方向与原来所发送的OAM信号的波束方向不一致。也就是说,在接收端通过对接收信号进行移相来进行轴对准调节之后,接收端与发送端仍然无法处于轴对准状态的情况下,可以认为发送端当前所发送的OAM信号的波束方向并非是轴对准状态下的波束方向,因此,接收端可以向发送端发送一个反馈信息,来指示发送端重新发送一个新的且具有不同波束方向的OAM信号。In this embodiment, after the receiving end shifts the phase of the received signal one or more times, and the receiving end and the sending end are still in the shaft misalignment state, the receiving end sends the shaft misalignment feedback information to the sending end. The axis misalignment feedback information is used to instruct the sending end to send a new OAM signal to the receiving end, and the beam direction of the new OAM signal is inconsistent with the beam direction of the originally sent OAM signal. That is to say, after the receiving end performs the axis alignment adjustment by phase shifting the received signal, the receiving end and the transmitting end still cannot be in the state of axis alignment, it can be considered that the beam of the OAM signal currently sent by the transmitting end The direction is not the beam direction in the axis-aligned state. Therefore, the receiving end can send a feedback message to the sending end to instruct the sending end to resend a new OAM signal with a different beam direction.
在一些可选的实施例中,该轴未对准反馈信息中可以携带有相应的相位差信息,例如第三相位差和第四相位差,或者是第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值,该轴未对准反馈信息具体可以用于指示发送端根据第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值确定第二OAM信号的波束方向,也就是说,发送端可以根据轴未对准反馈信息中所携带的相位差信息来确定第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值,并且基于该差值确定向接收端发送的第二OAM信号的波束方向。In some optional embodiments, the axis misalignment feedback information may carry corresponding phase difference information, for example, the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference, or between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference The axis misalignment feedback information can be specifically used to instruct the transmitting end to determine the beam direction of the second OAM signal according to the difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference, that is, the transmitting end can be based on The phase difference information carried in the axis misalignment feedback information determines the difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference, and determines the beam direction of the second OAM signal sent to the receiving end based on the difference.
可以理解的是,在接收端对接收信号进行了多次移相,并且分别得到了多组不同的第三相位差和第四相位差的情况下,接收端可以在多组不同的第三相位差和第四相位差中,选择第三相位差与第四相位差之间的差值最小的一组,发送给发送端。It is understandable that when the receiving end has shifted the phase of the received signal multiple times, and obtaining multiple sets of different third phase differences and fourth phase differences, the receiving end can perform multiple sets of different third phase differences. Among the difference and the fourth phase difference, the group with the smallest difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference is selected and sent to the sending end.
708、发送端判断是否已向接收端发送过各个波束方向上的OAM信号;708. The sending end judges whether the OAM signal in each beam direction has been sent to the receiving end.
本实施例中,当发送端接收到接收端所发送的轴未对准反馈信息之后,发送端获取当 前已向接收端发送过的所有OAM信号,并且判断是否已经向接收端发送过各个方向的OAM信。例如,在发送端设定有N个波束方向的情况下,当发送端接收到接收端所发送的轴未对准反馈信息之后,发送端获取当前已向接收端发送过的波束方向的个数,并且判断已向接收端发送过的波束方向的个数是否已经达到N个,如果是,则认为发送端已经向接收端发送过所有波束方向上的OAM信号,否则,认为发送端还没有向接收端发送完毕所有波束方向上的OAM信号。In this embodiment, after the sending end receives the axis misalignment feedback information sent by the receiving end, the sending end obtains all OAM signals that have been sent to the receiving end so far, and determines whether it has sent all directions to the receiving end. OAM letter. For example, in the case where the transmitting end has set N beam directions, after the transmitting end receives the axis misalignment feedback information sent by the receiving end, the transmitting end obtains the number of beam directions that have been currently sent to the receiving end , And judge whether the number of beam directions that have been sent to the receiving end has reached N. If so, it is considered that the sending end has sent OAM signals in all beam directions to the receiving end. Otherwise, it is considered that the sending end has not The receiving end sends OAM signals in all beam directions.
当发送端确定还没有向接收端发送完毕所有波束方向上的OAM信号时,则可以转至执行步骤709;当发送端确定已经向接收端发送过所有波束方向上的OAM信号时,则可以转至执行步骤710。When the sending end determines that the OAM signal in all beam directions has not been sent to the receiving end, it can go to step 709; when the sending end determines that it has sent OAM signals in all beam directions to the receiving end, it can go to Go to step 710.
709、发送端确定OAM信号的波束方向,并向接收端发送新的OAM信号;709. The transmitting end determines the beam direction of the OAM signal, and sends a new OAM signal to the receiving end.
本实施例中,在发送端确定还没有向接收端发送完毕所有波束方向上的OAM信号的情况下,发送端可以确定将要发送给接收端的新的OAM信号的波束方向,并且在确定好新的OAM信号的波束方向之后,在相应的波束方向上向接收端发送该新的OAM信号。接收端在接收到新的OAM信号之后,同样按照上述的步骤在该新的OAM信号的基础上,判断其与发送端之间的轴对准状态,也就是说,步骤709之后可以转至执行步骤702。In this embodiment, when the transmitting end determines that the OAM signal in all beam directions has not been sent to the receiving end, the transmitting end can determine the beam direction of the new OAM signal to be sent to the receiving end, and after determining the new OAM signal After the beam direction of the OAM signal, the new OAM signal is sent to the receiving end in the corresponding beam direction. After receiving the new OAM signal, the receiving end also judges the axis alignment state between it and the transmitting end based on the new OAM signal according to the above steps, that is, after step 709, it can be transferred to the execution Step 702.
在一些可选的实施例中,在发送端预先设定有多个波束方向的情况下,发送端可以按照一定的顺序依次向接收端发送不同的波束方向上的OAM信号。例如,假设发送端预先设定有10个波束方向的情况下,发送端可以按照波束方向1到波束方向10的顺序依次选择相应的波束方向来向接收端发送相应的OAM信号;当然,发送端也可以按照波束方向10到波束方向1的顺序依次选择相应的波束方向来向接收端发送相应的OAM信号;另外,发送端还可以按照其他一些顺序来选择相应的波束方向来向接收端发送相应的OAM信号,此处并不做具体限定。In some optional embodiments, when multiple beam directions are preset at the transmitting end, the transmitting end may sequentially send OAM signals in different beam directions to the receiving end in a certain order. For example, assuming that the transmitting end has preset 10 beam directions, the transmitting end can select the corresponding beam directions in the order of beam direction 1 to beam direction 10 to send the corresponding OAM signal to the receiving end; of course, the transmitting end It is also possible to select the corresponding beam directions in the order of beam direction 10 to beam direction 1 to send the corresponding OAM signal to the receiving end; in addition, the sending end can also select the corresponding beam direction to send the corresponding OAM signal to the receiving end according to other orders. The OAM signal is not specifically limited here.
在一些可选的实施例中,在接收端所发送的轴未对准反馈信息中携带有相位差信息的情况下,发送端具体可以根据轴未对准反馈信息中所携带的相位差信息来确定相应的波束方向,例如当轴未对准反馈信息中的第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值较大时,发送端可以确定新的波束方向与之前所发送的波束方向之间相差较大,例如在之前所发送的OAM信号的波束方向为波束方向2的情况下,可以确定波束方向5为新的波束方向;当轴未对准反馈信息中的第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值较小时,发送端可以确定新的波束方向与之前所发送的波束方向之间相差较小,例如在之前所发送的OAM信号的波束方向为波束方向2的情况下,可以确定波束方向3或4为新的波束方向。具体地,对于发送端而言,发送端可以根据第三相位差和第四相位差的具体差值以及之前所发送的波束方向来确定新的波束方向,具体的确定方式在此不做具体限定。In some optional embodiments, in the case that the shaft misalignment feedback information sent by the receiving end carries phase difference information, the sending end may specifically determine the phase difference according to the phase difference information carried in the shaft misalignment feedback information. Determine the corresponding beam direction. For example, when the difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference in the axis misalignment feedback information is large, the transmitting end can determine the difference between the new beam direction and the previously transmitted beam direction. For example, when the beam direction of the previously transmitted OAM signal is beam direction 2, it can be determined that beam direction 5 is the new beam direction; when the axis is not aligned with the third phase difference and the first phase difference in the feedback information When the difference between the four phase differences is small, the transmitting end can determine that the new beam direction and the previously transmitted beam direction are small, for example, when the beam direction of the previously transmitted OAM signal is beam direction 2. , The beam direction 3 or 4 can be determined as the new beam direction. Specifically, for the transmitting end, the transmitting end can determine the new beam direction according to the specific difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference and the previously transmitted beam direction. The specific determination method is not specifically limited here. .
710、发送端选择相位差值最小的波束方向作为轴对准方向。710. The transmitting end selects the beam direction with the smallest phase difference value as the axis alignment direction.
本实施例中,在发送端确定已经向接收端发送完毕所有波束方向上的OAM信号的情况下,可以认为发送端在所有的波束方向上所发送的OAM信号中均没有出现与接收端轴对准的OAM信号,也就是说,发送端在遍历了所有的波束方向之后仍然没有确定得到轴对准状态下的波束方向。此时,为了保证发送端和接收端之间尽可能地偏向轴对准状态,发送端 可以根据各个波束方向下接收端所发送的轴未对准反馈信息中的相位差信息,确定一个最接近轴对准状态的波束方向作为轴对准方向。其中,该波束方向下所对应的第三相位差和第四相位差之间的差值是所有的波束方向下最小的。In this embodiment, when the transmitting end determines that the OAM signals in all beam directions have been sent to the receiving end, it can be considered that the transmitting end does not appear in the OAM signals sent in all beam directions that are aligned with the receiving end axis. A quasi-OAM signal, that is, the transmitting end has not determined the beam direction in the axis-aligned state after traversing all the beam directions. At this time, in order to ensure that the sending end and the receiving end are as far as possible to the axis alignment state, the sending end can determine the closest one according to the phase difference information in the axis misalignment feedback information sent by the receiving end in each beam direction. The beam direction in the axis-aligned state is used as the axis-aligned direction. Wherein, the difference between the third phase difference and the fourth phase difference corresponding to the beam direction is the smallest in all beam directions.
