| 摘要 |
The present disclosure provides a radio unit with internal parallel antenna calibration. The radio unit comprises an antenna calibrator, a plurality of transmission signal processing sections, a plurality of power amplifiers, a plurality of bandpass filters, a plurality of couplers, a plurality of reception signal processing sections and a first combiner. The antenna calibrator is configured to generate a plurality of individually identifiable reference signals used for transmission calibration. The transmission signal processing sections are configured to modulate the signals in parallel. The power amplifiers are configured to amplify the modulated signals to predetermined power levels in parallel. The bandpass filters are configured to apply bandpass filtering operations to the modulated signals in parallel. The couplers are configured to couple the filtered signals to a first combiner, which combines the filtered signals. One of the reception signal processing sections is configured to identify and demodulate each of the filtered signals constituting the combined signals. The antenna calibrator is further configured to compute transmission calibration vectors by comparing the demodulated signals with the reference signals. |
