Antenna apparatus, antenna system, and antenna electrical tilting method
First Claim
1. A remote control unit (RCU), configured to remotely control an antenna apparatus, the RCU comprising:
- a reading device that reads, from the antenna apparatus, antenna information of an electrical tilting antenna controlled by the antenna apparatus and configuration data corresponding to the electrical tilting antenna, wherein the antenna information comprises an antenna serial number and an antenna model of the electrical tilting antenna, and the configuration data defines a moving length specific to at least one of the antenna serial number and the antenna model;
a driver that controls movement of the electrical tilting antenna according to the moving length to set an electrical down-tilt angle of the electrical tilting antenna;
wherein the reading device comprises a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an RCU (remote control unit), an antenna apparatus, an antenna electrical tilting method and an antenna system. The RCU includes a reading device and a driver. The reading device is configured to read, from a memory inside the antenna apparatus, when the antenna apparatus is communicatively connected with the RCU, antenna information of an antenna controlled by the antenna apparatus and configuration data corresponding to the antenna. The antenna information includes the antenna serial number and the antenna model of the antenna. The driver is configured to control the antenna apparatus to adjust an electrical down-tilt angle of the antenna in accordance with the configuration data.
