再例如，如图10所示，在天线#A上配置有天线#C，其中，该天线#C用于传输的数据(记做，数据#2)与数据#1不同。并且，在天线#B上配置有天线#D，其中，该天线#D用于传输的数据(记做，数据#3)与数据#1不同。并且，数据#2和数据#3可以相同也可以不同，本申请并未特别限定。

类似地，调节器140用于根据该天线160(或者说，信号#C)的目标下倾角δ，天线160的机械下倾角(即，第二机械下倾角

并且，调节器130包括输出端口，用于出处经过上述电下倾角调节处理后的信号#B。
调节器140包括输出端口，用于出处经过上述电下倾角调节处理后的信号#C。

本申请提供的天线***能够有效应用于同一面板上配置两个(或两个以上)天线(例如，有源天线和无源天线)的情况，在现有技术中，当两个天线配置在同一天线面板上时，无法为两个天线提供不同的下倾角，与此相同，在本申请中可以将其中一个天线(例如，无源天线)分为能够独立调节机械下倾角的两个部分，并且，无源天线的机械下倾角可以根据有源天线对机械下倾角的要求确定，并且通过设置调节器，能够调节无源天线的电下倾角，从而，即使无源天线的机械下倾角无法满足通过该无源天线发送的信号的覆盖要求，任然可以通过调节无源天线的电下倾角，来满足通过该无源天线发送的信号的覆盖要求。
在本申请中，由于天线150和天线160的配置位置不同，并且，天线150和天线160的机械下倾角不同，从而可能导致从天线150和天线160分别发送的信号不能同时到达同一位置的情况，从而影响通信质量。
对此，在本申请中还可以设置调节器197(即，第三调节器的一例)，该调节器197与分路器连接，用于对从分路器输出的信号#B和信号#C进行调节，以调整信号#B和信号#C之间的相位差，进而使从天线150和天线160分别发送的信号能够同时到达同一目标，或者说，使从天线150和天线160分别发送的信号到达同一目标的时间差在预设的范围内，图12示出了具有上述调节器197的天线***的示意图，与图11所示天线***不同的是，分路器的输出端口与调节器197连接，并且，调节器197的两个输出端口分别用于输出经过相位调节后的信号#B和信号#C。
在本申请中可以根据信号#B和信号#C之间的(或者说，天线150和天线160之间的)射频波程差D来确定信号#B与信号#C之间的相位差。
例如，如果天线150和天线160在下倾角为0时以图13方式配置，即，如图13所示，如果天线150配置在天线160上方，天线150和天线160在下倾角为0时的水平方向的距离为N、垂直方向上的距离为L，天线160的长度为M，则图14示出了天线150的机械下倾角为
Figure PCTCN2021132065-appb-000033
天线160的机械下倾角为
Figure PCTCN2021132065-appb-000034
时，信号#B和信号#C之间的射频波程差D。
即，该波程差D满足以下公式：
D＝AB·cosδ＝(N1+N2+N)cosδ
N1＝L·tanδ
N2＝M·tanδ
其中δ表示天线150和天线160的(或者说，信号#B和信号#C的)目标下倾角。
从而，可以根据该波程差D确定信号#C与信号#B之间的相位差P，即，该P满足以下公式：
P＝2π*D/λ
其中，λ表示信号#C(或者说，信号#B)的波长。
应理解，当如果天线150和天线160在下倾角为0时共面，则上述N＝0。
另外，上述天线150和天线160在下倾角为0时在垂直方向上的距离为L可以为0也可以不为0，本领域技术人员可以根据实际需要任意设置或变更。
作为示例而非限定，调节器197可以基于以下至少一种信息进行相位调节：
信号#A(或者，信号#B或信号#C)的波长λ、机械下倾角
Figure PCTCN2021132065-appb-000035
机械下倾角
Figure PCTCN2021132065-appb-000036
电下倾角θ1和电下倾角θ2。
例如，当天线150和天线160在重力方向上下排列配置时(即，如图1和图2所示配置方式配置时)，位于下方的天线(例如，天线160)与目标位置之间的距离较短，因此可以调节通过天线160发出的信号(即，信号#C)的相位，以使信号#C与信号#B之间的相位差满足以下公式：
Figure PCTCN2021132065-appb-000037
其中，M表示天线160的长度，L表示在天线160与天线150竖直配置(即，机械下倾角为0)时该天线150与天线160之间的距离。
再例如，当天线150和天线160以图3方式配置时，在调节信号#C的相位时，还可以考虑机械下倾角为0时(或者说，天线竖直配置时)天线160与天线150在水平方向上的距离N。
图15是本申请的天线***的另一例的示意图，与图11所示天线***不同的是，射频单元110可以生成多个信号，例如，上述信号#B和信号#C，从而无需配置分路器。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在图15所示天线***中，射频单元110在生成信号#B和信号#C时即使该信号#B和信号#C之间具有上述相位差P。
图16是本申请的天线***的另一例的示意图，如图16所示，该天线***包括：射频单元210、天线220(即，第一天线的一例)、天线230(即，第二天线的一例)。
下面，分别对上述各部件的功能和结构进行详细说明。
A.天线
天线***包括至少两个天线，其中，该至少两个天线中的任意两个天线之间的配置关系与上述天线#A和天线#B的配置关系相似，这里，为了便于理解，以天线***包括两个天线，即，天线220和天线230时的情况进行说明。
其中，该天线220和天线230的机械下倾角可以不同。
例如，当天线220为无源天线时，该天线220的机械下倾角可以根据配置在该天线220上的有源天线的信号覆盖需求确定。
再例如，当天线230为无源天线时，该天线230的机械下倾角可以根据配置在该天线230上的有源天线的信号覆盖需求确定。
并且，在本申请中，该天线220发射的信号和天线230发射的信号承载的数据相同，并且，该信号的波长相同，该天线220和天线230的目标下倾角相同。
以下，为了便于理解和说明，将该天线220和天线230的目标下倾角记做δ。
B.射频单元210
射频单元210用于生成2K个射频信号，K为天线的数量，其中，2K个射频信号被划分为K个信号组，每个信号组包括2个射频信号，所述K个信号组与K个天线一一对应，每个信号组中的信号通过该信号组对应的天线发送。
以下，为了便于理解以K＝2时的情况为例进行说明，此情况下，射频单元210用于生成4个射频信号(记做，信号#1、信号#2、信号#3和信号#4)，其中，信号#1和信号#2构成一个信号组，该信号组中的信号通过天线220发送；信号#3和信号#4构成一个信号组，该信号组中的信号通过天线230发送。
并且，信号#1和信号#2之间具有相位差，该相位差用于实现天线220的电下倾角的调节，设该天线220的目标下倾角δ，天线220的机械下倾角(即，第一机械下倾角
Figure PCTCN2021132065-appb-000038
的一例)，则基于该信号#1与信号#2之间的相位差确定的天线220的电下倾角θ1满足以下公式：
Figure PCTCN2021132065-appb-000039
类似的，信号#3和信号#4之间具有相位差，该相位差用于实现天线230的电下倾角的调节，设该天线220的目标下倾角δ，天线230的机械下倾角(即，第一机械下倾角
Figure PCTCN2021132065-appb-000040
的一例)，则基于该信号#3与信号#4之间的相位差确定的天线230的电下倾角θ2满足以下公式：
Figure PCTCN2021132065-appb-000041
在本申请中，由于天线220和天线230的配置位置不同，并且，天线220和天线230的机械下倾角不同，从而可能导致从天线220和天线230分别发送的信号不能同时到达同一位置的情况，从而影响通信质量。
对此，在本申请中还可以调节信号#1与信号#2之间相位滞后的一方(设为信号#1)与信号#3与信号#4之间相位滞后的一方(设为信号#3)之间的相位差，进而使从天线220和天线230分别发送的信号能够同时到达同一目标，或者说，使从天线220和天线230分别发送的信号到达同一目标的时间差在预设的范围内。
其中，信号#3与信号#4之间相位滞后的一方(设为信号#3)之间的相位差的确定方法和过程可以与上述相位差P的确定方法和过程相似，这里，为了避免赘述，省略其详细说明。
本申请提供的天线***同样适用于信号接收过程，其中，信号接收过程是信号发送过程的逆过程，这里，为了避免赘述，省略器详细说明。
以上列举的针对下倾角的调节过程，本申请同样适用于方位角的调节过程，图17示出了本申请的天线的方位角的配置的一例示意图，即，与图2所示下倾角的配置不同的是，在图17中，旋转轴的方向为竖直方向(或者说，重力方向)。
应理解，图17所示天线配置仅为示例性说明，本申请并未限定于此，方位角不同的多个天线在机械方向角为0时还可以不共面。
并且，对于电方位角的确定和调节过程可以与上述电下倾角的确定和调节过程相似，这里为了避免赘述省略其详细说明。
即，在应对通过机械方位角不同的天线发送同一信号(或者说，数据)时，对于该不 同天线的电方位角的调节方法以及对于不同天线发送出的信号的相位差的调节方法与上述图11至16所示处理过程相似，这里，为了避免赘述，省略其详细说明。
