Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a horizontally polarized antenna.
Background
Wireless communication has evolved from the first generation to the fifth generation of communication, and wireless devices have also become widely popular, so radiation performance testing of wireless devices has also received increasing attention from manufacturers and operators. The space radiation performance test (OTA) is a test method for evaluating wireless terminal equipment, which can measure the radiation characteristics of the wireless communication equipment to be tested in any direction. The microwave darkroom mainly comprises a probe antenna, a rotary turntable, a wave absorbing material, a shielding structure and the like. The device to be tested is placed on the rotary turntable, different testing angles can be switched freely, and the probe antenna is used for measuring the radiation characteristics of the device to be tested. The wave absorbing material on the inner wall of the darkroom is used for absorbing the reflected signals, and simulating the non-reflection space to reduce the interference of the test. In a traditional single-probe microwave darkroom, only one direction of radiation characteristic of the device to be tested can be tested at a time. If the radiation characteristics of the device to be measured in different directions need to be obtained, the turntable is required to rotate at different angles, and the radiation characteristics of the device to be measured in all directions are sequentially measured. This OTA test approach not only requires a significant amount of test time to be consumed, but also has unavoidable mechanical errors. Facing the challenges of the new generation of 5G mobile communications era, there is an increasing demand for high-speed data services. Low-speed measurement of single probe microwave darkroom has been difficult to meet the requirements of OTA high-speed measurement. The multiple probe antennas in the multiple probe antenna measuring darkroom are distributed at different positions and are used for measuring radiation characteristics of the equipment to be measured in different directions. Multi-probe antenna measurement systems have greatly shortened measurement times using multi-probe technology and are therefore increasingly being used in OTA measurements today. In a multi-probe antenna measurement camera, calibration of the multi-probe antenna measurement camera is required before testing to ensure accuracy of measurement due to inconsistencies in the wave absorbing material, inconsistencies in the combination of the wave absorbing material with different probes in the multi-probe antenna measurement camera, and inconsistencies in the gains of different probes.
In the multi-probe antenna measurement darkroom, the probe antenna is a dual-polarized antenna consisting of vertical polarization (vertical polarization in the direction of an electric field which is perpendicular to the paper surface) and horizontal polarization (horizontal polarization in the direction of an electric field which is parallel to the paper surface), so that the calibration of the multi-probe antenna measurement darkroom also needs to be divided into the calibration in the two polarization directions. Since the vertical polarization directions of different probe antennas are identical (perpendicular to the paper plane), a vertically polarized dipole antenna is typically used as a calibration antenna for the vertical polarization directions of the multi-probe darkroom. However, for the calibration of horizontal polarization, the horizontal polarization directions of different probe antennas are different, and if an oriented horizontal polarization antenna is used as the calibration antenna, when the probe antennas at different positions are calibrated, the calibration antenna needs to be rotated by corresponding angles to ensure that the horizontal polarization directions of the calibration antenna are consistent with the horizontal polarization directions of the probe antennas. The calibration mode is very complicated to operate, errors caused by mechanical factors such as a turntable, a position and a rotary joint are difficult to avoid when the angle of the calibration antenna is rotated, and along with the increase of the number of probes, the uncertainty is also increased, so that the accuracy of the calibration is difficult to ensure. Therefore, in order to reduce calibration errors and improve the accuracy of the measurement system, it is an optimal choice to calibrate the horizontal polarization direction with a horizontally polarized omni-directional antenna. The gain variation (also called out-of-roundness) of a horizontally polarized omni-directional calibration antenna determines the accuracy of the multi-probe antenna measurement camera, and therefore, the horizontally polarized omni-directional antenna for horizontal polarization calibration needs to meet very small out-of-roundness. The CTIA standard specifies that the horizontally polarized omnidirectional antenna used for calibration must have a gain fluctuation of less than 0.2dB. It is noted that calibrating the common mode current on the antenna's coaxial line will produce radiation in the cross-polarization direction of the antenna, and this additional radiation will destroy the original radiation characteristics of the antenna, causing several dB errors for the measurement system. Thus, the horizontally polarized omnidirectional antenna used for calibration needs to satisfy low cross polarization performance in addition to very low out-of-roundness itself. At the same time, the miniaturization of microwave darkrooms has driven the design of calibration antennas towards smaller dimensions.
