Three-terminal modulator for lower-frequency modulating type radiometer receiver

Abstract

The invention relates to a three-terminal modulator for a lower-frequency modulating type radiometer receiver, which is based on a Dicke type modulating receiving system. The three-terminal modulator for the lower-frequency modulating type radiometer receiver is characterized in that the input end of the Dicke type modulating receiving system is provided with the three-terminal modulator, three ports are respectively connected with an antenna, a terminal load and an electronic receiving front end input port, wherein the electronic receiving front end input port is continuously switched between the antenna and the terminal load with a certain frequency. The three-terminal modulator adopts a fast response electromagnetic switch consisting of a reed pipe, a magnet coil and a tubular magneticshielding outer cover as a basic switching unit, a relay inductive load drive integrated circuit comprising a biasing resistor and a negative peak restrain diode as a basic breakover control unit anda CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) circuit which is controlled by modulating square signals output by a low-frequency system of the Dicke type modulating electric radiation receiver as a double-phase control voltage generating unit.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of radio radiation receiving in radio astronomy, in particular to a three-terminal modulator used for a low-frequency modulation radiometer receiver. Background technique

[0002] In the radio astronomy total intensity radiometer receiving equipment, high gain stability is the first and necessary requirement, because the radio radiation of celestial bodies is a radiation in the form of white noise, and if it satisfies the Gaussian distribution, it is essentially the same as The electronic noise generated by the radio radiation receiving system itself is not different. Therefore, if the gain of the radio radiation receiving system is unstable, when the output of the radio radiation receiving system changes, we cannot distinguish whether the radio radiation receiving system received the noise from the celestial body itself. The variation of the radio radiation signal is also the variation of the local electronic noise o...
