Antenna system is composed of transmitting antenna and receiving antenna. The former is a transmission mode converter that converts the radio frequency current or electromagnetic wave of guided wave mode into the space electromagnetic wave of diffuse wave mode, and the latter is a transmission mode converter of inverse transformation.


As the transmitting antenna used in the mode conversion of guided traveling wave to diffusion wave, the receiving antenna I used in the mode conversion of diffusion wave to guided traveling wave is called reciprocity theorem, except that the transmitting antenna's power bearing capacity and voltage bearing capacity are far greater than the receiving antenna's, both of them can be exchanged and the basic characteristic parameters of the antenna remain unchanged. Another important function of the antenna is to concentrate the energy of the electromagnetic wave, that is, to concentrate the energy in the transmitting direction while reducing the energy in other directions when it is used as the transmitting antenna; when it is used as the receiving antenna, more energy can be intercepted from the incoming waves in the receiving direction, while the incoming waves in other directions can be reduced by phase cancellation. This is the directivity of the antenna. Compared with the non directional antenna, the increase of the energy concentration is called the gain of the antenna. The extended meaning of antenna directivity is negative gain (attenuation) in non-communication direction, which can be used to describe another related performance index of antenna, i.e. sidelobe (interference) radiation rejection of transmitting antenna or incoming wave interference rejection of receiving antenna in non-communication direction.

Definition and scope of antenna system


In the mobile communication system, the communication antenna is the converter of the communication equipment circuit signal and the space radiation electromagnetic wave. This paper mainly analyzes the antenna and feeder system in mobile communication system, including base station / room sub-antenna, related feeder cable and other radio frequency devices and related installation services.


Two. Performance parameter description of base station antenna


Ge index


1, working frequency band (Frequency Range)


Working frequency band: whether antenna or other communication products, always in a certain frequency range (bandwidth), depending on the requirements of the indicators. Under normal circumstances, the frequency range that meets the requirements can be the working frequency of the antenna.

The working bandwidth is called working bandwidth. Generally, the working bandwidth of omnidirectional antenna can reach 3-5% of the central frequency, and the working bandwidth of directional antenna can reach 5-10% of the central frequency.


2. Input impedance (Input Impedance)


Input impedance: the ratio of the signal voltage to the signal current of the antenna input is called the input impedance of the antenna. The input impedance of the general mobile communication antenna is 50 ohms.


The input impedance is related to the structure, size and working wavelength of the antenna. In the required operating frequency range, the imaginary part of the input impedance is very small and the real part is quite close to 50_. This is necessary for the antenna to be in good impedance matching with the feeder.


3. Voltage Bobbi (VSWR)


Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR): The VSWR of an antenna is the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value in the VSWR pattern generated along the transmission line when the antenna is used as the load of a lossless transmission line.


The standing wave ratio (SWR) is generated by the superposition of reflected waves generated by the incident wave energy transmitted to the input of the antenna and not completely absorbed (radiated). The bigger the VSWR, the bigger the reflection and the poorer the match. In mobile communication systems, Bobbi is generally less than 1.5.


4, isolation degree (Isolation)


Isolation represents the ratio of signals fed to one port (one polarization) of a bipolar antenna to signals fed to another port (the other polarization).


5 and three order intermodulation (Third Order Inter modulation)


Third-order intermodulation signal: refers to two signals in a linear system, due to the existence of non-linear factors so that the second harmonic of one signal and the fundamental wave of another signal to produce beat (mixing) after the parasitic signal.


Intermodulation is the phenomenon of system performance degradation caused by two or more carrier frequencies outside the band mixing and falling into the new frequency components in the band.


6. Power capacity (Power Capacity)


Power capacity: The power capacity of an antenna is the maximum continuous RF power that can be continuously added to the antenna within a specified period of time without degrading its performance.


Space radiation index


7, gain (Gain)


The ratio of the radiated power flux density of the antenna in a given direction to the maximum radiated power flux density of the reference antenna (usually using an ideal point source) at the same input power.


Antenna gain is used to measure the antenna's ability to transmit and receive signals in a specific direction. It is one of the important parameters in selecting base station antenna. The higher the antenna gain, the better the directivity. The more concentrated the energy, the narrower the lobe.


8, H/V-Plane Half Power Beam Width


In the main lobe of the power pattern, the angle between the beam widths of the two points which reduce the relative maximum radiation power to half or less than the maximum 3dB is called the half power lobe width.


The horizontal half-power beam width is called the horizontal beam width; the vertical half-power beam width is called the vertical beam width.


9. Electrical Down Tilt.


The dip angle refers to the angle between the maximum radiation direction on the vertical radiation surface of the communication antenna and the antenna normal.


The communication antenna is divided into fixed dip antenna and tuning antenna according to whether or not it supports electric dip adjustment: fixed dip antenna refers to the fixed dip antenna generated by configuring the amplitude and phase of the antenna radiation element array according to the wireless coverage requirements; and tuning antenna refers to the change of different radiation elements in the array through the phase-shifting element. Phase difference results in different radiation main lobe dip states. Generally, the dip state of an electrically tuned antenna is only in a certain range of adjustable angles.


10, front to back ratio (Front-to-Back Ratio)


The antenna front-to-back ratio is defined as the ratio of the maximum radiation direction of the main lobe (specified as 0 degrees) to the maximum power flux density near the opposite direction (specified as 180 degrees (+ 30 degrees) F/B = 10 log (front-to-back power / backward power).


11. Sidelobe suppression and zeros filling (Elevation Upper Side lobes & Null Fill)


Side lobe suppression: The side lobe of the main lobe in the vertical direction (i.e. the direction toward the zenith angle) is called the superior side lobe. In order to cover the effect of base station antenna, the antenna will be mechanically declined in network planning. This may lead to the antenna's first (or a certain angle range) upper sidelobe may be in a horizontal position or even lower than the horizontal position, it is easy to cause adjacent interference, so it is necessary to suppress it, that is, the upper sidelobe suppression.


The upper sidelobe not only wastes the energy radiated by the antenna, but also interferes with the adjacent cells, especially the high-rise buildings in the adjacent cells. Therefore, the upper sidelobe should be restrained as far as possible, especially the first upper sidelobe with larger energy.


Zero filling: refers to filling the first zero of the lower sidelobe in the vertical plane of the antenna with beam-shaped design to improve the coverage of the base station near the dead zone and reduce the near zone coverage and blind spots.


12, cross polarization ratio (Cross Polarization Ratio)


The difference between the power level of the antenna co-polarization receiving (the maximum receiving level) and the power level of the heteropolarization receiving (the minimum receiving level) within the beam width of Direction 3 dB


13. Direction of roundness (Circularity)


The pattern roundness of omnidirectional antenna refers to the deviation between the maximum or minimum level and the average value in the horizontal pattern.

Average refers to the arithmetic average of the level dB value at a maximum interval not exceeding 5 degrees in a horizontal pattern.


14. Polarization mode (Polarization)


The electric field direction of electromagnetic wave radiated by antenna is the polarization direction of antenna. If the electric field direction of a wave is perpendicular to the ground, we call it a vertical polarized wave; if the electric field direction of the wave is parallel to the ground, it is called a horizontal polarized wave; if the electric field direction of the wave is at an angle of 45 degrees with the ground, it is called +45 degrees or -45 degrees polarization.

Line array.


5. multimode antenna
