Title:
ANTENNA DEVICE AND ANTENNA EXCITATION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015177494
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a sidelobe by reducing quantization error of a digital phase shifter.SOLUTION: An antenna device includes: a combination vector calculation part 8 and a vector comparison part 9. In the combination vector calculation part 8, a plurality of combinations of excitation phases βas many as switching times are selected out of excitation phases which can be set for phase shifters 2-1 to 2-N and for each combination of the excitation phases β, a combination vector vof phase vectors indicated by the excitation phases βas many as the switching times is calculated. The vector comparison part 9 selects the combination vector vthat is most correlated with an excitation vector Vindicating an excitation amplitude phase that is set by an excitation distribution setting part 6, from among the combination vectors vcalculated for each combination by the combination vector calculation part 8.
