Disclosed is a method for calibrating smart antenna array systems in real time. Transmitting and receiving compensation coefficients of each antenna element relative to a calibration antenna element are obtained in the pre-calibration of a smart antenna before installation. After the antenna array is installed, in the transmitting calibration, a plurality of transmitting links simultaneously transmit calibration signals, then the base-band signal processor computes the amplitude and phase response of each transmitting link according to the calibration signals received by the calibration link and computes, together with the transmitting compensation coefficient obtained in the pre-calibration, the compensation coefficient of each transmitting link to compensate the downlink data of the base station; in the receiving calibration, the calibration link transmits a calibration sequence of signal, the base-band signal processor computes the amplitude and phase response of each receiving link based on the signals received by the receiving links and computes, together with the receiving compensation coefficient obtained in the pre-calibration, the compensation coefficient of each receiving link to compensate the uplink data of the base station. The calibration signal of each antenna element is generated by a periodic cycling shift of a basic calibration sequence. <IMAGE>
