Abstract (en)

A calibration method and an active antenna are provided. The active antenna includes K antenna dipole arrays, 1 st to K th transceiver unit arrays corresponding to the antenna dipole arrays, 1 st to K th calibrators, a feature difference calculating unit, and baseband processing modules. The 1 st to K th calibrators are configured to obtain P feature difference values between P calibration signals passing through all calibration loops of the active antenna and an original calibration signal. The feature difference calculating unit is configured to calculate a feature difference value of a receiving channel and/or transmitting channel of each transceiver unit relative to a reference receiving channel and/or transmitting channel respectively. Each baseband processing module is configured to perform feature compensation on a service signal of the corresponding transceiver unit in a digital domain. Therefore, feature differences between all transceivers respectively disposed on a plurality of boards of the transceiver arrays can be calculated, so as to realize accurate calibration on transceiver arrays when the transceiver arrays are distributed on a plurality of boards.
