The invention discloses an ultra-high-frequency sensor for monitoring
partial discharge in a switch cabinet online. The ultra-high-frequency sensor comprises a micro-strip
slot antenna and an SMA (Sub-Miniature A) connector, wherein the micro-strip
slot antenna comprises a
dielectric substrate, wherein a grooved
metal grounding plate is arranged on one side of the
dielectric substrate, and the micro-strip
slot antenna is arranged on the opposite side of the
dielectric substrate; the
SMA connector is electrically connected with the micro-strip slot antenna. From an overall perspective, the shape of the groove in the
metal grounding plate is an
inverted U shape; a detail design adopts a
meander technology, and the path of exciting current on the surface of the
metal grounding plate is changed by bending, so that the
miniaturization of an antenna is realized. In application, the ultra-high-frequency sensor is light in weight, small in size and easy to manufacture, and is beneficial to be arranged in the switch cabinet; meanwhile, the sensitivity is high; a feed structure is simple and compact; the loss of a
feed line is low.
Simulation and experiments prove that the
return loss of the sensor in a bandwidth range is less than -10 dB; in addition, the
impedance matching with a standard 50-
Ohm coaxial transmission line is effectively realized by optimizing micro-strip
feed line parameters and feed positions.
