Abstract
These days, several communication standardization committees are developing suitable and practical measurement methods for the Over the Air (OTA) testing of 5G non-connectorized base stations. Among the OTA testing methods, Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) is very attractive for the direct testing of the far field Radio Frequency (RF) parameters and the wide frequency ranges, allowing the Active Antenna System (AAS) Base Station testing. The key OTA parameter of the AAS Base Station, such as Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP), Total Radiated Power (TRP), Equivalent Isotropic Sensitivity (EIS), has been studied in the introduced CATR system. Moreover, the measurement error assessment has been studied and analyzed with the CATR system. With the development of the 5G New Radio technology, the measurement technology and error analysis of the 5G AAS base stations are facing severe challenges. OTA testing will need to operate new requirements of the 5G AAS base stations.
最近,多个通信标准化委员会正在开发适用于5G非连接基站的Over the Air (OTA)测试的实用测量方法。在OTA测试方法中,紧凑天线测试范围(CATR)对于直接测试远场射频(RF)参数和宽频率范围非常有吸引力,允许有源天线系统(AAS)基站测试。在引入的CATR系统中,对AAS基站OTA关键参数等效各向同性辐射功率(EIRP)、总辐射功率(TRP)、等效各向同性灵敏度(EIS)进行了研究。此外,还对CATR系统的测量误差评估进行了研究和分析。随着5G新无线电技术的发展,5G AAS基站的测量技术和误差分析面临严峻挑战。OTA测试将需要满足5G AAS基站的新要求。
