Abstract

Identifying the power difference and phase shift of a phased array antenna (PAA) is essential in the PAA calibration. In this article, the ability of calibrating a PAA in a reverberation chamber (RC) is explored. Based on the proposed RC calibration system, the power and phase of each array element are measured in an RC. The relative power difference and phase shift are also calculated. The role of the mechanical stirrer is discussed. To verify the accuracy of the proposed method, we compare the calibration results with those obtained from the direct link method, and the measurement results are consistent. The proposed method validates the feasibility of PAA calibration in an RC, particularly when performing measurements of phase.

在混响室中校准相控阵天线

确定相控阵天线（PAA）的功率差和相移对 PAA 校准至关重要。本文探讨了在混响室（RC）中校准 PAA 的能力。根据所提出的混响室校准系统，在混响室中测量每个阵元的功率和相位。同时还计算了相对功率差和相移。讨论了机械搅拌器的作用。为了验证所提方法的准确性，我们将校准结果与直接链接法得到的结果进行了比较，测量结果是一致的。所提出的方法验证了在遥控中进行 PAA 校准的可行性，尤其是在进行相位测量时。
