Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments of this disclosure relate to the communications field, and in particular, to a feeding network of a dual-beam antenna and a dual-beam antenna.

BACKGROUND

As a mobile broadband (MBB) develops and a quantity of users increases, a network capacity is becoming a bottleneck of development of a universal mobile communications system (UMTS). A common manner of expanding the network capacity mainly focuses on networking with the addition of a spectrum, a station, or multiple sectors, or using of a dual-beam antenna. A quantity of main device channels is increased in the dual-beam antenna to increase a quantity of partitions of service information channels in terms of a vertical dimension, so as to improve spectral efficiency, and further increase the network capacity.

When a dual-beam antenna is applied to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology, a radio-frequency system of a base station has an increasingly high requirement for a technology of a base station antenna, and in particular, for passive inter-modulation (PIM). PIM is an inter-modulation effect caused because passive components such as a joint, a feeder, an antenna, and a filter are non-linear when these components work in a case of a multi-carrier high-power signal. It is usually considered that passive devices are linear. However, the passive devices are non-linear to different extents in a high-power state. Such non-linearity is mainly caused because a joint of the passive devices is not tight, or the like. Due to the non-linearity of these passive devices, higher-order harmonic waves relative to an operating frequency are generated. These harmonic waves mix with the operating frequency to generate a new set of frequencies, and finally generate a set of unwanted spectrums in the air. Consequently, normal communication is affected.

Currently, in design of a base station antenna, a bridge in a splitting network circuit usually uses a microstrip structure in a printed circuit board (PCB), and a phase-shift circuit usually uses a strip line structure on the PCB. The splitting network circuit and the phase-shift circuit are usually separated, and often cascaded in a manner of cable welding or screw connection. FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a manner of connection between a splitting network circuit and a phase-shift circuit in a feeding network of a dual-beam antenna. Such a cascading manner increases a quantity of passive components, and there are risks such as a loose joint of passive components. Consequently, a PIM indicator of the dual-beam antenna is affected.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following describes technical solutions in embodiments of this application with reference to accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a feeding network of a dual-beam antenna according to an embodiment of this application. A feeding network 200 shown in FIG. 2 includes a cavity 210, a PCB (not shown in FIG. 2), and at least two radio-frequency signal input ports 220. The cavity 210 includes an upper grounding metal plate and a lower grounding metal plate. The printed circuit board PCB is disposed inside the cavity. A splitting network circuit and a phase-shift circuit in the feeding network are integrated into the PCB. Arrangement of the PCB and the cavity 210 enables a wire on the PCB to have a strip line structure as a whole. The at least two radio-frequency signal input ports 220 are connected to the splitting network circuit on the PCB. After sequentially passing through the splitting network circuit and the phase-shift circuit on the PCB, radio-frequency signals that are input from the at least two radio-frequency signal input ports form, by using an antenna element of the dual-beam antenna, at least two beams between which there is an angle.

The splitting network circuit and the phase-shift circuit in the feeding network of the dual-beam antenna are integrated into the PCB by using a strip line structure. Therefore, a feeding network structure of the dual-beam antenna is simplified, a hidden PIM danger caused by connecting the splitting network circuit and the phase-shift circuit by means of soldering or by using a screw is reduced, and PIM reliability of an antenna system is improved.

Optionally, in an embodiment, FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of a feeding network of a dual-beam antenna. As shown in FIG. 3, the at least two radio-frequency signal input ports 220 include a first radio-frequency signal input port 221 and a second radio-frequency signal input port 222. The splitting network circuit includes: a 90-degree bridge, where an input end of the 90-degree bridge is connected to the first radio-frequency signal input port 221; a power splitter, where an input end of the power splitter is connected to the second radio-frequency signal input port 222; a first 180-degree bridge, where a first input port 310 of the first 180-degree bridge is connected to a first output port of the 90-degree bridge, a second input port 320 of the first 180-degree bridge is connected to a first output port of the power splitter, and the first 180-degree bridge is connected to the phase-shift circuit; and a second 180-degree bridge, where a first input port 330 of the second 180-degree bridge is connected to a second output port of the 90-degree bridge, a second input port 340 of the second 180-degree bridge is connected to a second output port of the power splitter, and the second 180-degree bridge is connected to the phase-shift circuit.

For example, if a first radio-frequency signal with a phase of 0 degree is input into the input end of the 90-degree bridge, a third radio-frequency signal with a phase of 0 degree and a fourth radio-frequency signal with a phase of 90 degrees may be generated. If the third radio-frequency signal is input into the first input port (that is, a delta port) of the first 180-degree bridge, two equi-amplitude signals (that is, equi-amplitude phase-inverted signals) may be generated, that is, a signal with a phase of 0 degree and a signal with a phase of 180 degrees. If the fourth radio-frequency signal is input into the first input port (that is, a delta port) of the second 180-degree bridge, two equi-amplitude signals (that is, equi-amplitude phase-inverted signals) may be generated, that is, a signal with a phase of 90 degrees and a signal with a phase of 270 degrees. If a second radio-frequency signal is input into the input port of the power splitter, equi-amplitude in-phase signals may be generated, that is, a fifth radio-frequency signal and a sixth radio-frequency signal. If the fifth radio-frequency signal is input into the second input port (that is, a sum port) of the first 180-degree bridge, two equi-amplitude in-phase signals may be generated. If the sixth radio-frequency signal is input into the second input port (that is, a sum port) of the second 180-degree bridge, two equi-amplitude in-phase signals may be generated.

It should be understood that, the foregoing four equi-amplitude radio-frequency signals with a phase difference of 90 degrees and the foregoing four equi-amplitude in-phase radio-frequency signals may be simultaneously generated by the splitting network circuit. A sequence for generating the foregoing radio-frequency signals is not specifically limited in this embodiment of this application.

Specifically, in the feeding network of the dual-beam antenna shown in FIG. 3, one of two output ports of the second 180-degree bridge may be unconnected to the phase-shift circuit and directly output a radio-frequency signal. A phase of the radio-frequency signal that is output from the output port may be used as a reference phase when the phase-shift circuit adjusts downtilt angles of a first beam and a second beam that are formed on an element of the dual-beam antenna.

It should be further understood that, in the splitting network circuit, an output port that is of a 180-degree bridge and directly outputs a radio-frequency signal without using the phase-shift circuit may be any one of two output ports of the first 180-degree bridge and the two output ports of the second 180-degree bridge.

Another embodiment of this application is described in the following with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 and a specific scenario. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a feeding network circuit according to an embodiment of this application. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a splitting network circuit of a feeding network according to this embodiment of this application. In FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a part the same as or similar to that in FIG. 2 is represented by a same reference numeral. As shown in FIG. 5, the feeding network includes the splitting network circuit and a phase-shift circuit. After a first radio-frequency signal is input from an input port 222 of the splitting network circuit and passes through a 90-degree bridge 510, two equi-amplitude radio-frequency signals with a phase difference of 90 degrees are generated and are respectively input into a delta port 520 of a first 180-degree bridge and a delta port 530 of a second 180-degree bridge. After a second radio-frequency signal is input from an input port 221 of the splitting network circuit and passes through a power splitter 540 that has a filter open-circuit stub, two equi-amplitude in-phase radio-frequency signals are generated and are respectively input into a sum port 550 of the first 180-degree bridge and a sum port 560 of the second 180-degree bridge. A first output port 570 of the first 180-degree bridge, a second output port 580 of the first 180-degree bridge, and a first output port 590 of the second 180-degree bridge are connected to the phase-shift circuit (refer to FIG. 4). A second output port P1 of the second 180-degree bridge directly outputs a radio-frequency signal without using the phase-shift circuit.

In the phase-shift circuit of the feeding network of a dual-beam antenna shown in FIG. 4, a first outbound interface of the second 180-degree bridge is connected to a power splitter in the phase-shift circuit. A radio-frequency signal that is output from the first outbound interface of the second 180-degree bridge may be split into two equi-amplitude in-phase radio-frequency signals, and the two equi-amplitude in-phase radio-frequency signals are output from output ports P2 and P4 of the phase-shift circuit after phase shifting is performed on the two signals by the phase-shift circuit.

It should be further noted that, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a crossing structure of strip transmission lines in a feeding network. As shown in FIG. 6, in a splitting network circuit of the feeding network, when strip line crossing 600 exists in strip transmission lines for transmitting radio-frequency signals in the circuit, single-sided strip transmission lines may be deployed for two radio-frequency signals, to avoid interference between circuit strip lines.
