Abstract

Disclosed are an analog channel measurement method and a base station, for use in implementing measurement of an analog channel in a digital-analog hybrid beamforming system. The method is such that: a base station receives a reference signal, where the base station comprises a digital-analog hybrid beamforming antenna system, and the digital-analog hybrid beamforming antenna system comprises digital channels and analog channels; the base station selects an analog channel group from an analog channel group set on the basis of the reference signal and employs the reference signal in measuring each analog channel of the selected analog channel group, where the number of analog channels that each analog channel group comprises is equal to the number of digital channels in the digital-analog hybrid beamforming antenna system.
