The invention discloses an array antenna single-point mutual decoupling
correction method, which relates to a
large array antenna mutual
coupling correction technology and is particularly applied to a one-dimensional uniform
linear array and a uniform round array. The method comprises the following steps of: arranging a correction
signal source for transmitting signals at any direction in a far field, and measuring an incident angle of the correction
signal source to a normal direction of an
antenna array; transmitting the
signal by using the correction
signal source, and measuring the output response of each
antenna array element; performing simplified transform on a mutual
coupling matrix; constructing a cost function, calculating an extremum of the cost function, and obtaining a mutual
coupling matrix coefficient; and inversing the mutual
coupling matrix, and substituting an inverse
matrix coefficient of the mutual
coupling matrix into each channel, thereby realizing array antenna single-point mutual decoupling correction. The method has the advantages that: the method is simply implemented, convenient to operate, low in calculated amount and particularly applied to the
large array antenna mutual coupling correction of the one-dimensional uniform
linear array and the uniform round array; and only the
single point response of the
antenna array in any direction is required to be measured, and the measurement of the whole directional diagram of an array antenna is not required.
