    • A method operating in a communications station for calibrating the communications station, the communications station including an antenna array of antenna elements, each having associated with it and included in a transmit apparatus chain and a receiver apparatus chain. The method comprises transmitting a prescribed signal from each antenna element using the transmit apparatus chain associated with the antenna element while receiving the transmitted signal in receiver apparatus chains not associated with the antenna. Calibration factors for each antenna element are determined as dependent on the associated transmit apparatus chain and receiver apparatus chain transfer functions using the prescribed signal and each of the signals received during transmissions. A communications station also is described which includes: an antenna array of a plurality of elements, each antenna element having associated with it and included in a transmit apparatus chain and a receiver apparatus chain; transmitting means configured to transmit a prescribed signal from each antenna element while receiving the transmitted signal in at least one receiver apparatus chain not associated with the transmitting antenna element; a memory coupled to the receiver apparatus chains for storing the signals received during the transmissions of the prescribed signals; and a signal processor coupled to the memory and configured to determine calibration factors for each antenna element, the calibration factors for a particular antenna element based on the transmit apparatus chain and receiver apparatus chain transfer functions of the transmit and receiver apparatus chains, respectively, that are associated with the particular antenna element.

    • An antenna monitor collects statistics about the received signal strengths of each antenna in a cooperating antenna array over long periods of time. In cellular telephone base station applications for a base station using an array of antenna elements to obtain spatial diversity, samples of the received signal strength are taken during particular times whenever an active mobile subscriber is operating in the area. Periodically, such samples are averaged and added to a running total that is maintained in a long-term accumulator for each antenna. The accumulated totals are then compared after a statistically sufficient number of samples have been collected and averaged. Faulty antennas, including broken ones and ones with bad connections, will be revealed by those corresponding signal paths having relatively low accumulated totals. Given long enough collection periods, the spatial diversity of the antennas in the array will have only a minimal impact on favoring one antenna over another.
    • 天线监视器在长时间内收集关于协作天线阵列中每个天线的接收信号强度的统计。 在使用天线元件阵列以获得空间分集的基站的蜂窝电话基站应用中,无论何时活动的移动用户在该区域中操作,在特定时间采集接收信号强度的采样。 周期性地将这样的样本平均并加到每个天线的长期累加器中保持的运行总计。 然后在收集统计学上足够数量的样本并进行平均后,比较累积总数。 那些具有较差连接的故障天线,将由具有较低累积总数的相应信号路径显露出来。 给定足够长的采集周期,阵列中的天线的空间分集将仅对有利于一个天线的影响最小。
