[0042] The present disclosure is made to at least partially solve the problems in the prior art discovered by the inventors.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the lightning locator measuring device includes: a main control module 1, a measurement control module 2, a lightning waveform simulation generator 3, a GNSS time synchronization module 4, a transmitting antenna 5, a digital control attenuation module 6, a detection and calibration module 7, a switch matrix 8 and a waveform measurement module 9.
[0044] Among them, the main control module 1 stores a lightning waveform feature library;
[0045] The measurement control module 2 is used to transmit the standard lightning waveform signal stored in the lightning waveform feature library to the lightning waveform simulation generator 3;
[0046] The GNSS time synchronization module 4 is used to generate a reference lightning pulse synchronization signal;
[0047] The lightning waveform simulation generator 3 is used to configure parameters according to the standard lightning waveform signal, and generate lightning pulses in synchronization with the reference lightning pulse synchronization signal, and then selectively transmit the lightning pulses to the transmitting antenna 5 or the digital control attenuation module 6;
[0048] The transmitting antenna 5 or the digitally controlled attenuation module 6 is used to transmit the lightning pulse to the lightning locator;
[0049] The main control module 1 is used to receive the measurement result of the lightning locator on the lightning pulse, and obtain the parameters of the lightning locator according to the measurement result.
[0050] The lightning locator measuring device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used in conjunction with a lightning locator in actual application to form a test system. In order to realize the networking and automation requirements of the test system, the interaction between the two is based on the network protocol. At the same time, the test system adopts a separate client and server design, which can realize flexible deployment and remote control and permission approval requirements. In general, the implementation of the test system consists of three parts: the client, the server and the lightning locator software service; the client provides a terminal for command input and result output to the user in the form of UI interaction; the server provides a hub for command reception and transmission, test module control, data processing, and data storage; the lightning locator software service provides the test system with middleware for command reception and transmission and return of data results. The connection between the client and the server supports three modes: public network, local area network and local connection.
[0051] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the main control module 1 is used to control other modules to work in coordination to realize automatic testing of the functions and performance parameters of the lightning locator. The main control module 1 has a built-in lightning waveform feature library, which can realize various types of cloud-flash and ground-flash signals, and control the lightning waveform simulation generator 3 to generate lightning pulse signals in an instruction manner.
[0052] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement control module 2 is used to receive control instructions from the main control module 1, generate control signals, and control other modules to work in coordination according to the instructions and control parameter requirements.
[0053] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the lightning waveform simulation generator 3 can generate various types of cloud-flash and ground-flash signals, and under the synchronization of the 1PPS second pulse of the GNSS time synchronization module, generate a lightning event echo signal composed of one or more delayed pulses, and can automatically form setting parameters according to the standard lightning waveform signal stored in the lightning waveform feature library, control the internal circuit of the FPGA to operate according to the setting parameters, and output lightning pulses.
[0054] In the disclosed method, the parameters configured according to the standard lightning waveform signal include one or more of the following: pulse delay time, number of pulses, and pulse interval time of a single lightning event; and the number of pulse combinations, duration of each pulse, and interval time of each pulse of multiple lightning events; and lightning pulse amplitude and lightning pulse polarity.
[0055] Specifically, the multiple lightning events can be a combination of continuous lightning events for 24 hours, which is used to measure the lightning pulse detection performance, lightning event processing capability, and false alarm rate and detection probability of the lightning locator in long-term continuous operation of 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours.
[0056] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the GNSS time synchronization module 4 is used to generate a reference lightning pulse synchronization signal so that the lightning pulse has the same time reference as the lightning locator.
[0057] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the lightning pulse generated by the lightning waveform simulation generator 3 can be transmitted to the lightning locator in two ways, one of which is a spatial non-contact test method, and the other is an injection test method.
[0058] Specifically, the space non-contact test radiates lightning pulse signals by the built-in transmitting antenna in the measuring device to form a space electromagnetic pulse. The lightning locator receives and measures the signal, and then sends the measurement results to the lightning locator measuring device through a standard interface. The measuring device performs statistical analysis on the measurement results.
[0059] The injection test connects the lightning locator's receiving input terminal through an RF cable. The CNC attenuation module controls the amplitude of the directly output MV-level lightning pulse signal, and then injects the lightning pulse signal into the lightning locator through the signal source output interface. The lightning locator receives and measures the signal, and sends the measurement results to the lightning locator measuring device through a dedicated communication cable. The measuring device then performs statistical analysis on the measurement results.
[0060] The lightning locator measuring device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure adopts GNSS time synchronization to form an editable pulse signal source for lightning locator measurement, such as pulse delay time, pulse number, pulse time interval, lightning pulse polarity, etc., and has the same physical characteristics as real lightning pulses. It realizes spatial non-contact testing through a transmitting antenna or realizes injection testing through a cable-connected CNC attenuation module. Using one of the above two methods to measure the lightning locator can cover most or even all indicators in the product acceptance specifications and can realize automatic testing.
[0061] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the lightning waveform simulation generator 3 is also used to transmit the lightning pulse to the detection calibration module 7;
[0062] The detection and calibration module 7 is electrically connected to the switch matrix 8, and when the switch matrix 8 is switched to the self-test calibration channel, the lightning pulse is calibrated through the waveform measurement module 9; or when the switch matrix 8 is switched to the external calibration channel via the measurement control module 2, the lightning pulse is calibrated through the waveform measurement module 9;
[0063] The measurement control module 2 is used to transmit the calibrated lightning pulse to the lightning waveform simulation generator 3 , and selectively transmit the calibrated lightning pulse to the transmitting antenna 5 or the digital control attenuation module 6 via the lightning waveform simulation generator 3 .
[0064] In the disclosed method, in order to ensure that the lightning pulse received by the lightning locator is consistent with the standard lightning waveform signal, the lightning pulse needs to be calibrated. The calibration method can be self-test calibration or external calibration. After the waveform measurement module 9 measures the calibration parameters, it feeds back to the measurement control module 2, and then sends instructions to the lightning waveform simulation generator 3 to control the lightning waveform simulation generator 3 to calibrate the lightning pulse. After calibration, the lightning pulse is transmitted to the transmitting antenna 5 or the CNC attenuation module 6, and then received by the lightning locator for measurement. The above method can provide a more accurate pulse signal source for the lightning locator and also improve the accuracy of the measurement results.
[0065] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the device further includes: a display driving module 10 and a touch screen 11; the display driving module 10 is electrically connected to the main control module 1 and the touch screen 11 respectively.

[0069] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the device is also configured with a synchronization interface 17, a GNSS interface 18, a network port 19 or a USB interface 20; wherein the synchronization interface 17 is used for external signal waveform measurement, for example, when testing the power supply ripple of a lightning locator; the GNSS interface 18 is used to connect a GNSS antenna. When the lightning locator is tested indoors, the GNSS antenna is connected by a cable and placed outdoors in a position where it can see the satellite signal. The more satellite signals received, the better; the GNSS antenna is electrically connected to the GNSS time synchronization module; the network port 19 is used to connect to the network to achieve remote control; the USB interface 20 is used to export files.
