Problems solved by technology

However, in this case, a complex amplitude and phase control device 42 is required, and antenna performance evaluation can only be performed in a fading environment where the received signal strength fluctuates and in a moving state, and performance evaluation in a stationary state cannot be realized.

Abstract

There is provided a multi-antenna measurement method of measuring a device under test 1 having at least two receive antennas and capable of considering the spatial correlation between antennas in a simpler configuration. Two different uncorrelated signal sequences (a, b) are generated by a pseudo base transceiver station. These signal sequences (a, b) are transmitted as radio waves from positions (positions of transmitting antenna elements 31 and 32) of the two base angles of the isosceles triangle toward the device under test 1 provided at a position of the apex angle respectively to measure the received antennas by receive antennas of the device under test 1. This method is easy to calibrate and can consider the spatial correlation between antennas in a simpler configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a multi-antenna measurement method and a multi-antenna measurement system for simply measuring multi-antenna performance. Background technique [0002] Generally, performance evaluation of communication antennas is performed by measuring radiation directivity in an anechoic chamber. refer to Figure 23 An example of measurement of radiation directivity of a communication antenna will be described. [0003] exist Figure 23 In , the measurement of radiation directivity was carried out as follows. That is, first, the antenna 100 to be measured is installed on the turntable 2 . Next, an electric signal supplied from the external signal source 40 is radiated from the opposite antenna 200 as an electric wave. Then, the antenna 100 to be measured is rotated on the rotating table 2 . At this time, the received power of the antenna 100 to be measured is measured at each angle. In the above manner, it is possible to measure...
