Full Text TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention discloses an antenna device for a radio base station in a
cellular telephony system. The device comprises a first and a second input
connection for a first and a second data stream, and a first and a second
polarization former, one for each of said data streams, as well as a first and a
second antenna of respective first and second polarizations.
BACKGROUND ART
In known radio base stations for cellular telephony networks, there is a number of
so called radio chains, each radio chain comprising a power amplifier, which may
itself be comprised of a number of amplifiers which are connected so as to have a
common input port and a common output port. Each radio chain will typically
also comprise one or more antenna elements, which may be a part of a larger
antenna with more antenna elements, such as an electrically steerable array
antenna.
In future radio base stations, it would be an advantage if the stations could
support both so called BF-transmission (beam forming), where typically one data
stream is transmitted to each user, as well as so called MIMO-transmissions
(Multiple Input, Multiple Output), where a plurality of data streams are
transmitted to each user.
The antenna requirements for BF-transmissions are quite different from those of
MIMO-transmissions, so a conventional way of designing a radio base station
which would be capable of both would be to have separate antennas for each case,
as well as separate radio chains for each antenna or a switching device between
the power amplifier resource and the antennas.
Since MIMO and BF would typically not be used simultaneously, this design
would lead to a radio base station with poor usage of power amplification
2

resources, as well as a radio base station with quite voluminous equipment,
neither of which is desirable.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
As discussed above, there is a need for an antenna device for a radio base station
in a cellular telephony system that could be used in a versatile fashion for either
MIMO or BF, or possibly both at the same time.
This need is addressed by the present invention in that it discloses an antenna
device for a radio base station in a cellular telephony system, comprising a first
and a second input connection for a first and a second data stream, and a first and
a second polarization former, one for each of said data streams.
The device of the invention also comprises a first and a second antenna of
respective first and second polarizations, as well as one amplifier for each of the
antennas. The device additionally comprises a first and a second combiner, so that
the outputs from the polarization formers may be combined as inputs to each of
the first and second antennas.
Suitably, each of the first and second antennas each comprise one or more
radiation elements which can have the same phase center.
By means of the invention, as will become more apparent from the following
detailed description, a more efficient use of the amplifiers is made possible, due in
part to the use of the polarization formers and the combiners of the device.
Since antennas of different polarizations are used for transmitting one and the
same signal, as will be explained in more detail in the following, the signals will be
combined in the air after transmission into resulting polarizations. In this way, the
signal losses associated with more traditional types of signal combining are
avoided.
3

Beamforming can also be carried out in certain embodiments of the device of the
invention, since, in said embodiments, at least one of the first or second antennas
additionally comprises at least one more radiation element of the same
polarization as the first antenna element of that antenna, the device additionally
comprising a beamformer for that antenna.
Thus, by means of the invention, either beamforming or MIMO transmission, or
possibly both, can be carried out by means of the same physical equipment.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will be described in more detail in the following, with reference to
the appended drawings, in which:
Figs l and 2 show background art, and
Fig 3 shows different polarizations and their combinations, and
Fig 4 shows a basic embodiment of an antenna device, and
Fig 5 shows a first basic embodiment of the invention, and
Figs 6-9 show various embodiments of the invention which utilize beam forming.
EMBODIMENTS
Fig l shows a system 100 which serves to illustrate some of the components used
in the invention: a data stream Di is to be transmitted to a user of a cellular
telephony network. In order to achieve this, the device 100 comprises a first
antenna 130, in this case comprised of a single antenna element of a certain
polarization, in this case vertical polarization, as indicated in the drawing. The
single antenna element 130 may be replaced by more antenna elements of the
same polarization, but will here be shown and referred to as a single element.
The antenna element 130 is associated with a power amplifier 120, in order to
amplify the signal to a desired level before the transmission. As indicated by a
dashed line, the antenna 100 might also comprise more radiation elements,
4

suitably of another polarization. In this case, since no such additional antenna
elements are comprised in the antenna, the dashed line is terminated with a "o".
These additional antenna elements may, in similarity to the antenna element 130,
also be replaced by more antenna elements of the same polarization, but will here
be shown and referred to as a single element.
The device 100 also comprises a so called Polarization Former (PF) 110, which
serves to shape the composite polarization of the transmitted signal if the antenna
comprises antenna elements of different polarizations. Since the antenna of fig 1
only comprises a single antenna element, the PF essentially serves no function in
the device shown, but is still shown in the drawing.
As indicated, however, the PF can divide the incoming data stream, in this case D1,
between antenna elements of different polarizations, and then subject the divided
data streams to a multiplication function which will be elaborated upon later in
this description. In the present case, the data stream which would go to the "non-
existent" antenna element at the end of the dashed line is multiplied by zero.
In conclusion, the entire data stream D1 in fig 1 is transmitted by the vertically
polarized antenna element130, after being amplified by a power amplifier 120.
For the sake of clarity, fig 2 shows how a second data stream, D2, is transmitted by
means of a device 200 similar to the device 100 of fig 1: all of the components of
the device 100 are present in the device 200, so they will not be described at depth
again here. However, the antenna element 230 of the device 200 is of a different
polarization than the one in fig 1, in this case the polarization is horizontal.
Accordingly, D2 is transmitted with horizontal polarization from the antenna 230
after having been amplified by a power amplifier 220.
Fig 3 illustrates the effect of transmitting signals of different polarizations
simultaneously: a first signal is transmitted with vertical polarization ("V"), and a
second signal is transmitted with horizontal polarization ("H"). If the two signals
are transmitted "in phase", i.e. with no phase shift between them, the composite
5

signal as seen by a viewer who is standing in front of and looking at the antenna
will be combined into the polarization referred to as "X" and shown as +45 °.
However, if a phase shift of 180 ° is introduced into one of the signals, e.g. the
signal which is transmitted with horizontal polarization, the composite signal seen
in the same "front view" as described above will be combined into the polarization
referred to as "Y", and shown as -45°.
It should be pointed out that the two polarizations described here, i.e. horizontal
and vertical, are merely examples: any two polarizations may be used, and the two
polarizations used need not be orthogonal to each other, although this is
preferred. Also, the phase shifts introduced need not be o°/180°, if other
composite polarizations are desired, other phase shifts which will give the desired
composite polarizations may be used, e.g. o°/+9O°, giving circular polarization.
Thus, as seen in fig 3, by introducing a phase shift in one of two signals
transmitted in different polarizations, any desired resulting polarization may be
achieved.
Fig 4 shows a basic embodiment of an antenna device 400 of the invention: the
main difference between the device 400 shown in fig 4 and the devices 100, 200,
shown previously is that the device 400 comprises an antenna with two radiation
elements 430,432.
As with the previous example, each of the two antenna elements 430, 432, may
also symbolize a larger number of elements of the same polarization. This will be
true of other embodiments shown and described later in this text as well - one
antenna elements may symbolize a larger number of elements.
The first antenna element is vertically polarized, and the second antenna element
432 is horizontally polarized, but the two antenna elements have the same phase
center.
6

A general principle which applies to a device of the invention can be pointed out
here: In order to create a certain desired resulting polarization using two antennas
of different inherent polarizations, there must be a desired phase relation between
the signals transmitted by the antennas. One condition for achieving this is that
the two antenna elements have the same phase center.
The device also comprises one power amplifier 420, 422, per radiation element
and polarization in the antenna. Thus, in this example, there are two power
amplifiers.
The device 400 also comprises the polarization forming (PF) device 410 shown
previously. The PF-device shown in fig 4 divides the incoming data stream D1 into
two equal streams, each of which is to be transmitted via one of the antennas 430,
432. Thus, there will be one data stream on each of the two polarizations used.
As shown in fig 3 and described above, the PF can, by introducing a phase shift
into one of the D1-streams, achieve a certain composite polarization between the
signals transmitted by the two radiation elements 430, 432.
As illustrated by the parenthesis in the PF-function in fig 4, the PF-function in this
case does not introduce any phase shift into either of the signals going to the
separate antenna elements, each signal is merely multiplied by a factor 1, as
indicated by the numerals in the parenthesis. Thus, the composite polarization
achieved by the signals in this example will be the one shown as +45 ° in fig 3.
Fig 5 shows an embodiment of a device 500 of the invention: the device 500
comprises input connections for two data streams D1 and D2. For each of said
data streams, the device 500 comprises one polarization former 510, 511. In
addition, the device 500 comprises two antennas each comprising one radiation
element where the two elements have different polarizations, in this case one 530
of vertical polarization and one 532 of horizontal polarization.
7

Each of the radiation elements 530, 532, is associated with one power amplifier,
520,522.
Each of the polarization formers (PF:s) 510, 511, will split its respective data
stream into two separate streams, and can create a phase shift between the two
separate streams, for example by multiplying one of the streams with a complex
number, exp (-jn*:p), where n is an integer, positive or negative. Naturally, the
same can be achieved by multiplying both of the separate streams by complex
numbers if the desired phase difference is maintained between the two complex
numbers. Another way of achieving a phase difference is to introduce a delay into
one of the data streams.
Thus, the output from each of the PF:s 510, 511, will be two streams containing the
same data, but with a desired phase relation between them.
As indicated in fig 5, an example of the use of the two PF:s is that the PF which is
used for the first data stream D1 doesn't introduce a phase difference between the
two separate streams into which D1 is split, i.e. the PF 510 carries out a
multiplication of the "D1-streams" by the PF-factors (1,1), as indicated by the
numerals (1,1) in the parenthesis in the PF 510 in fig 5. Accordingly, the output
from PF 510 is a first and a second stream of D1, with no phase shift between
them.
The other PF in the device 500, the PF 511, on the other hand, introduces a phase
difference between the two data streams into which D2 is split, in this case a phase
shift of 1800 between the two D2-streams which are output from the PF 511.
Thus, the output from PF 511 is a first and a second D2-stream, with a phase
difference of -180 ° between them, which is also indicated by the numerals (1,-1) in
the parenthesis in the PF 511 in fig 5.
As shown in fig 5, the device 500 also comprises a first 515 and a second 516
combiner, which are used to combine the outputs from the polarization formers,
8

to form inputs to each of the first 530 and second 532 antenna elements via
respective power amplifiers 520,522.
Thus, one of the two output streams from each PF 510, 511, is input to one of the
combiners. This means that to the first combiner 515, the input is the first "D1-
stream" and the first "D2-stream", and for the second combiner 516, the input is
the "second D1-stream" and the second "D2-stream".
Consider now the two D1-streams: both D1-streams will pass through a respective
power amplifier 520, 522, and will be transmitted from separate antennas
530, 532, having different polarizations, one being vertical and the other being
horizontal. The two Di-streams will thus be combined in the air after being
transmitted in the way shown in fig 3, i.e. in the manner referred to as +45°, since
no phase shift was introduced by the PF:s.
If, instead, the two D2-streams are considered, the following will be realized: the
first and second D2-streams will also pass through the first 515 and second 516,
combiners respectively, as well as the respective first 520 and second 522 power
amplifiers and antenna elements 530,532.
However, the PF 511 introduced a phase shift of 180 ° between the two D2-
streams. Due to this phase shift, the two D2-streams will after transmission
combine in the way referred to as -45 ° in fig 3.
Accordingly, the device 500 of fig 5 will transmit in two effective polarizations, one
of which is -450 and the other is +45°, with one data stream D1, D2, on each of
these polarizations.
Since both data streams, or, to be more correct, both the first and second outputs
from the two PF:s 510, 511, are input to the power amplifiers 520, 522, the power
amplifier resources are shared between the data streams D1 and D2. If the
amplifier resources, in terms of maximal output power, of one amplifier is denoted
as P, the total amplifier resources used is 2P.

Fig 6 shows a further embodiment 600 of a device according to the invention: the
embodiments shown previously have only comprised one antenna element per
polarization, vertical and horizontal. As shown in fig 6, it is entirely possible to
instead have two antenna elements in one or (as shown in fig 6) both of the
polarizations. The two antenna elements for each polarization constitute an array
antenna.
Thus, the numerals 630 and 632 in fig 6 refer to array antennas with two elements
per polarization, vertical and horizontal. Naturally, the number of radiation
elements per polarization can be varied in a more or less arbitrary way.
As is well known within antenna theory, with two or more radiation elements in
one and the same polarization, it is possible to perform so called beam forming,
i.e. to influence the shape of the resulting radiation pattern in that polarization by
weighting the signals which are fed to the respective radiation element.
The device 600 comprises means for beam forming, one beam former (BF) 652 for
the first data stream D1, and a second beam former 656 for the second data stream
D2. Additional beam formers, which will be described later in this text, are
indicated with dashed lines, and referred to by the numbers 650, 654.
As indicated in fig 6, each of the two output data streams from each of the two
PF:s 610, 611, is used as input to one beam former 652, 656. In this example, the
PF multiplies one of the outgoing data streams by zero, so there is only one
effective data stream output from each PF in this example.
The BF splits each incoming data stream into parallel data streams, and
introduces a phase shift (and possibly an amplitude difference) between the
output data streams, in this case two.
10

As shown in fig 6, using the BF 652 as an example, two data streams D1 are output
from the BF, with the described phase shift between them. These two data streams
D1 are each used as input to one of the radiation elements in one of the
polarizations, in this case the vertically polarized elements 630. Each radiation
element is also equipped with one combiner 615 and one PA 620.
Thus, the output from the vertical "array antenna" 630 will be one resulting beam
with a desired shape, used for transmitting data stream D1.
In a similar manner, the horizontal "array antenna" 632 will generate one
resulting beam with a desired shape, used for transmitting data stream D2.
It can be seen that although the polarization formers 610, 611, are comprised in
the device 600 shown in fig 6, they essentially serve no purpose in the device,
since each data stream is only connected to one of the array antennas 630, 632.
To illustrate this further, the "horizontal branch" output of the PF 610 is
multiplied by zero, as is the "vertical branch" output of the PF 611. Thus, the effect
achieved by the embodiment of fig 6 may also possibly be achieved by connecting
the data streams D1-D4 directly to the respective beam formers.
Fig 7 shows a further development 700 of the device introduced in fig 6: the
difference is that in the device 700, all of the beam formers 750, 752, 754, 756, are
employed.
As can be seen in fig 7, the first data stream D1 is input to the first polarization
former 710, where it is split up into two equal streams, with, in this case, no phase
shift being introduced between them. One of the two "in phase" D1 streams is used
as input to a vertical beamformer 752, and the other D1 stream is used as input to
a horizontal beamformer 750. Vertical and horizontal in this context means that
the output from the beamformer will be used as input to an array antenna of that
polarization.
11

In a similar manner, the second data stream D2 is input to the second polarization
former 711, where it is split up into two equal streams, with, in this case, a phase
difference of 180 ° between them. The "in phase" D2- stream is used as input to a
vertical beamformer 754, and the "-1800" D2-stream is used as input to a
horizontal beamformer 756.
The device of fig 7 also comprises a first array antenna, 730, with two vertically
polarized radiation elements, and a second array antenna 732 with two
horizontally polarized elements . The two array antennas have the same phase
center. Each radiation element is associated with a combiner 715, 716, and a power
amplifier 720, 722. In total, there are thus four transmission chains in the device
700, each comprising a combiner, an amplifier and a radiation element.
Each beam former 750, 752, 754, 756, will also output a first and a second data
stream, which are used in the following way: The two outputs from the vertical
beam former 752 associated with D1 are used as respective inputs to the two
transmission chains of the vertical array antenna 730, and the two outputs from
the horizontal beam former 750 associated with D1 are used as respective inputs
to the two transmission chains of the horizontal array antenna 732.
Similarly, the two outputs from the vertical beam former 754 associated with D2
are used as respective inputs to the two transmission chains of the vertical array
antenna 730, and the two outputs from the horizontal beamformer 756 associated
with D2 are used as respective inputs to the two transmission chains of the
horizontal array antenna 732.
As a result, each transmission chain in the device 700 is used by both streams D1
and D2. The D1-streams transmitted by the horizontal array antenna 732 and the
D1 streams transmitted by the vertical array antenna 732 have had no phase shift
introduced by the PF 710, and will thus combine in the air after transmission into
the polarization shown as +45 ° in fig 3.
12

Conversely, the D2-streams transmitted by the horizontal array antenna 732 and
the D2-streams transmitted by the vertical array antenna 730 have had a phase
shift of -180 ° introduced by the PF 711, and will thus combine in the air after
transmission into the polarization shown as -450 in fig 3. Typically, BF 752=BF
750, and BF 756=BF 754.
An important issue is the flexibility of this configuration: In fig 6 power resources
are dedicated for each data stream, while in fig 7 the entire power resource is
shared by both streams (pooled power resource). A pooled resource can be shared
equally or unequally between the data streams in a device of the invention.
Further, the air combining of signals eliminates the combining loss commonly
associated with a pooled power resource.
Also, the beams generated by the array antennas 730, 732, can have been given a
desired beam shape by the beamformers 750, 752, 754, 756.
Fig 8 shows a further embodiment 800 of the invention. As shown in this
embodiment, the number of data streams used in a device of the invention need
not be restricted to two: in the embodiment 800, as an example of this, four data
streams D1-D4 are used.
Each data stream D1-D4 is used as input to a PF, 810-813, which has the same
function as the PF:s described previously. Thus, the PF:s 810-813 split an
incoming data stream into two, and applies a phase shift and possibly a difference
in amplitude between the two data streams.
In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiment 800 of the invention,
each PF 810-813 in fig 8 is shown as multiplying one of the outgoing data streams
by zero, so that there is only one data stream output from each PF. Thus, the effect
achieved by the embodiment of fig 8 may also possibly be achieved by connecting
the data streams D1-D4 directly to the respective beam formers.
13

Each output data stream from each PF is used as input to a respective beam
former, BF, 852-856. The BF:s of the embodiment 800 have the same function as
those BF:s previously described, and will thus not be described in detail again
here. However, each BF will split an incoming data stream into a first and a
second output data stream.
Each of the first and second output data streams from each of the BF:s 852-856 is
used as input to one of the transmission chains in the device, as shown in fig 8.
The difference between the embodiment 800 and those embodiment shown
previously is that two "beamformed" data streams D1-D2 and D3-D4 respectively,
are combined as input to the same transmission chains after having passed
through a PF where they are subjected to the same polarization forming function.
As can be seen in fig 8, the first and the second data streams D1 and D2, for
example, are subjected to the polarization forming function (1,0) by their
respective PF:s.
After the beam forming, the resulting first data streams D1, D21, formed from
each of D1 and D2 are combined as input to the same transmission chains, as is
also the case with the resulting second data streams D12, D22, formed from each of
D1 and D2.
As the polarization functions are the same for data streams D1 and D2, the beam
forming function BF(D1), BF(D2), to which each of the data streams Di, D2, is
subjected, must be unique for that data stream. Thus, after transmission, there
will be one D1-beam and one D2-beam, both with the same polarization, but
sufficiently different to support MIMO transmissions.
Similarly, the two data streams D3 and D4 are subjected to the same polarization
forming function (0,1), and are then used as input to the same transmission
chains. After transmission, there will be one D3-beam and one D4-beam, both
with the same polarization, but sufficiently different to support MIMO
transmissions.
14

Fig 9 shows a further development 900 of the device of fig 8: one difference
between the embodiments 900 and 800 is that in the embodiment 900, the power
amplifier resources are pooled.
Thus, in this embodiment, four data streams D1-D4 are input to the device. Each
data stream D1-D4 is input to a polarization former, which splits the input data
stream into a first and a second output data streams. The first output data stream
from each polarization former is used as input to a first beam former BF, and the
second output data stream from each polarization former is used as input to a
second beam former BF.
Accordingly, considering the incoming data stream D1 as an example, this data
stream is, after polarization forming and beam forming, split into a first and a
second D1-stream from a beam former for vertical polarization BF(D1, V), and a
first and a second D1-stream from a beam former for horizontal polarization,
BF(D1, H).
The first and second D1-streams for vertical polarization are input to a first and
second transmission chain, respectively, in an antenna for vertical polarization.
In said first and second transmission chains in the antenna for vertical
polarization, the first and second Di-streams are combined with first and second
streams respectively, from the input data streams D2, D3 and D4.
As indicated in fig 9, the polarization forming functions for D1 and D2 are the
same, as are the polarization forming functions for D3 and D4, respectively. As
pointed out in connection with fig 8, two data streams which have the same PF-
function and which are input to the same antenna must have passed through
different beamforming functions in order to support MIMO transmission.
Streams to be transmitted via horizontally polarized elements are treated
accordingly.
15

The invention is not restricted to the examples of embodiments shown above, but
may be varied freely within the scope of the appended claims.
One possible variation, for example, could be to use beamformers which split an
incoming data stream into four output data streams instead of two, as shown
above. Each of the four output data streams would be connected to separate
antenna elements in an array antenna, which would create a narrower beam with
higher gain. Naturally, this principle can be expanded upon, so that beamformers
with even more outputs can be envisioned.
