[0029] In this embodiment, the preamplifier circuit uses the AD603 chip. The AD603 chip is a single-channel, low-noise, controllable gain amplifier with a continuously adjustable gain range. The automatic gain control circuit uses an AGC circuit.

[0031] The detector model mentioned above is the AD637. Pin 13 is the input, pin 1 is the buffer input, pin 9 is the RMS output, which outputs the converted RMS DC signal. Pin 8 is the integrating capacitor terminal, pin 3 is ground, pin 6 is the denominator current input, and pin 14 is the buffer output. The AD637 RMS detector samples the output AC signal, converts it to DC, and displays it on a digital display after A / D conversion by the microcontroller. In other words, the AD637 converts the RMS value of the external input AC signal into a DC signal output, obtaining the RMS value of the input sinusoidal waveform. The AD637 is a true RMS / DC converter integrated circuit that is simple to use, easy to adjust, has a fast settling time, and provides accurate and stable readings. In actual applications, the only external adjustment component is the absolute value squared averaging capacitor, which affects averaging time, low-frequency accuracy, output ripple level, and output settling time. The internal circuit structure of the AD637 is conventional and will not be further described here.

[0034] The fourth pin of the detector is output bias adjustment through the fifth resistor R5. Specifically, the output bias is adjusted by adjusting the sliding rheostat, which is also called the output voltage zero adjustment terminal.

[0038] The collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the base of the fourth transistor Q4, the base of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the first end of the fifteenth resistor R15, the second end of the fifteenth resistor R15 is grounded, the emitter of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the first end of the seventeenth resistor R17 and the first end of the tenth capacitor C10, respectively, the second end of the seventeenth resistor R17 is connected to the second end of the tenth capacitor C10, and then to the collector of the fourth transistor Q4.

[0039] The first transistor Q1 is a B649A model, and the second transistor Q2 is a D669A model. These transistors form the preamplifier stage. The input signal enters the circuit through the base of Q1, which amplifies the input signal. Q1 and Q2 process the positive and negative half-cycles of the input signal, respectively, completing the initial signal amplification. The emitters of Q1 and Q2 are connected via multiple resistors and capacitors to provide appropriate bias and frequency compensation. Adjusting the resistance of the sixth resistor R6 provides the appropriate bias current for the preamplifier stage. The output of the preamplifier stage module is driven by the base of the third transistor Q3.

[0040] The symmetrical output stage module includes a third transistor Q3 and a fourth transistor Q4 connected in series, the collector of the third transistor Q3 is connected to a 30V power supply, the base of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the collector of the first transistor Q1, the emitter of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the first end of the eleventh resistor R11, the second end of the eleventh resistor R11 is respectively connected to the second end of the twelfth resistor R12 and the first end of the thirteenth resistor R13, and the second end of the thirteenth resistor R13 is connected to the emitter of the fourth transistor Q4.

[0041] The third transistor, Q3, is a D669A, and the fourth transistor, Q4, is a B649A. These transistors form a symmetrical output stage, responsible for providing high power amplification. Q3's collector is directly connected to the power supply, while Q4's collector is grounded, providing symmetrical voltage amplification. The output stage implements negative feedback through resistors R11, R12, and R13. This feedback signal is connected back to the preamplifier input to stabilize the circuit's gain and output DC potential.

[0042] This embodiment uses a tenth resistor R10, a twelfth resistor R12, and a ninth capacitor C9 to connect the output terminal to the input terminals of the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 to introduce negative feedback. Specifically, the first end of the twelfth resistor R12 is connected between the second end of the eighth capacitor C8 and the first end of the sixteenth resistor R16, and the second end is connected between the second end of the eleventh resistor R11 and the first end of the thirteenth resistor R13. The first end of the twelfth resistor R12 is connected to the first end of the tenth resistor R10, the second end of the tenth resistor R10 is connected to the first end of the ninth capacitor C9, the second end of the ninth capacitor C9 is connected to the first end of the fourteenth resistor R14, and the second end of the fourteenth resistor R14 is grounded. The above is a negative feedback structure, which feeds the signal at the output terminal back to the input terminal of the preamplifier stage through R10, R12, and C9 to control the circuit gain and stabilize the operating point. By introducing a negative feedback structure, the linearity of the circuit is improved, distortion is reduced, and the frequency response of the amplifier is improved.

[0043] The transistors used are B649A and D669A high-frequency twin transistors. When the input signal is 0, adjusting the resistance of the sixth resistor can provide appropriate bias for the transistor, so that the potential between the tenth and twelfth resistors is Vcc / 2.

[0044] In static state, the output potential is usually Vcc / 2. In order to ensure the stability of the circuit operating point, the tenth resistor, the twelfth resistor and the ninth capacitor are used to connect the output terminal to the first transistor and the second transistor input terminal to introduce negative feedback. The characteristic frequency ft of the transistor largely determines the bandwidth of the amplifier. Because the frequency characteristics and noise characteristics of the active load are poor, resistors are used as loads in the circuit to avoid the additional noise brought by the active load, which helps to improve the bandwidth performance of the circuit and enhance the stability of the circuit. When using discrete components to make a post-stage amplifier, if the indicators allow, try to reduce the input impedance as much as possible to reduce the interference caused by space radiation. The post-stage power output module is composed of discrete components to obtain a higher output voltage range. Discrete components refer to devices with certain functions composed of independent components such as diodes, transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc., which are relatively large in size. Compared with integrated circuit devices, this embodiment refers to Figure 3The transistors, resistors, capacitors and other components in it.

[0047] In this embodiment, the broadband amplifier further includes a keyboard module and a display module. The keyboard module is connected to the input end of the main control module, and the display module is connected to the output end of the main control module.

[0048] The keyboard module adopts a matrix keyboard, the display module adopts an LCD1602 liquid crystal display, and the main control module adopts an STC12C5A60S2 single-chip microcomputer.

[0049] Working principle detailed description:

[0050] The pre-amplifier circuit in this broadband amplifier uses an AD603 chip, whose input end receives the signal from the signal input end, the output signal of the automatic gain control circuit, and the output signal of the main control module. The output signal of the pre-amplifier circuit is sent to the input end of the automatic gain control circuit and the input end of the post-amplifier circuit. The automatic gain control circuit adjusts the gain of the pre-amplifier circuit to maintain the amplitude of its output signal stable. The output signal of the pre-amplifier circuit is also sent to the post-amplifier circuit for further amplification, and the output signal of the post-amplifier circuit is output through the signal output end. The output signal of the post-amplifier circuit is also sent to the peak detection circuit, which is used to detect the peak amplitude of the signal and convert the information into a DC level and output it to the main control module. The main control module receives the DC level signal from the peak detection circuit, adjusts the gain of the automatic gain control circuit and the pre-amplifier circuit according to the DC level signal or the setting input by the keyboard, and the display module displays the output voltage.

[0051] In the post-amplifier circuit, input signal processing involves the coordinated operation of the preamplifier stage and the symmetrical output stage. The input signal enters the circuit through the base of Q1. Resistor R7 and capacitor C6, located between the base and emitter of Q1, provide a DC bias for the input signal, enabling proper signal amplification. The amplified signal is transferred from Q1's collector through R9 to the collector of Q2, forming a cascade amplifier structure. Q2 amplifies the negative half-cycle of the signal. The signal from Q2's collector is directly coupled to Q3 and the base of the fourth transistor, Q4, before entering the symmetrical output stage. The amplified signal enters the symmetrical output stage, where Q3 and Q4 process the positive and negative half-cycles of the signal, respectively. After the positive half-cycle of the input signal is amplified by Q1, Q3 amplifies the positive half of the signal through its base, amplifies it, and outputs it to the load. Similarly, after the negative half-cycle is amplified by Q2, Q4 amplifies the negative half of the signal and outputs it to the load. This complementary and symmetrical output mode ensures signal integrity, reduces crossover distortion, and improves circuit efficiency. A negative feedback loop is also designed. The negative feedback signal is sent back to the preamplifier stage through R10, R12, and C9 to adjust the input signal's amplification factor and frequency response. The feedback signal can stabilize the operating point, reduce nonlinear distortion, and optimize frequency characteristics.

[0052] This broadband amplifier uses voltage feedback control to achieve automatic gain control (AGC) with a wide AGC range. The peak value of the amplifier output is used as the gain control voltage, keeping the final output voltage signal within a certain peak-to-peak value range, resulting in a relatively stable output signal.

[0053] The AD603 preamplifier circuit has a large input resistance, resulting in a very low input current. This minimizes the control circuit's influence on the external circuitry that provides the gain control voltage. The AD603 offers an operating bandwidth from DC to over 30 MHz. A single stage can provide over 20 dB of gain, while a two-stage cascade can achieve over 40 dB of gain. Through the post-amplifier output, it can also provide over 60 dB of gain at high frequencies. Its advantages include high circuit integration, clear logic, convenient control, and ease of digital processing.

[0054] In order to remove 50Hz power frequency interference and other low-frequency interference, a series capacitor can be added between the two stages of AD603 to form a high-pass filter with the input impedance of AD603.

[0055] Although the above description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention is combined with the accompanying drawings, it does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Technical personnel in the relevant field should understand that on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention, various modifications or deformations that can be made by technical personnel in this field without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
