Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of probe calibration technology, and in particular to a dynamic microstrip device, a measurement system, a determination method, a device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Currently, electromagnetic compatibility testing is primarily performed using probes. Whether measuring in the time or frequency domain, these probes require calibration factors within a certain frequency band. Traditionally, this has been done using the microstrip line method.

[0003] However, since the impedance of the microstrip line is fixed, the impedance of the microstrip line may not match the impedance of the signal source, causing the signal to be reflected at the impedance-mismatched port, that is, at the connection between the signal source and the microstrip line. This causes the signal detected by the probe to be different from the signal output by the signal source, making it difficult to obtain an accurate calibration factor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a dynamic microstrip device, measurement system, determination method, device and storage medium that can obtain accurate calibration factors in response to the above technical problems.

[0005] A dynamic microstrip device, comprising:

[0006] Conductor tape;

[0007] A base, wherein the base is further provided with support columns arranged at intervals, and the support columns arranged at intervals are respectively used to support the two ends of the conductor strip;

[0008] The air core plate is arranged between the support columns and below the conductor strip, has a distance from the conductor strip, and is suitable for moving up and down relative to the base to adjust the distance from the conductor strip.

[0009] By creating a gap between the conductor strip and the base of the dynamic microstrip device, the medium above and below the conductor strip is air, ensuring that the signal transmission speed around the conductor strip is the same, thereby making the dynamic microstrip device's transmission mode the ideal TEM mode. At the same time, the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device can be changed by adjusting the spacing between the air core and the conductor strip, facilitating dynamic impedance matching with the signal source. Therefore, by using the dynamic microstrip device instead of the microstrip line to obtain the calibration factor, the signal detected by the probe is identical to the signal output by the signal source, allowing the probe to accurately characterize the electric field coupling, thereby obtaining an accurate calibration factor.

[0010] In one embodiment, the air core panel includes: a movable seat, a floating plate and a machine component, the movable seat is arranged between the support columns, the upper surface of the movable seat is provided with a first concave hole corresponding to the shape of the floating plate, and a second concave hole corresponding to the shape of the machine component and passing through the movable seat is provided below the first concave hole, and the first concave hole is connected to the second concave hole; the floating plate is suitable for being arranged in the first concave hole and fixedly connected to the movable seat; the cross-section of the machine component is "T"-shaped, the bottom of the machine component is provided with an external thread, and the bottom surface of the machine component is provided with a flat hole. When the machine component is arranged in the first concave hole, the bottom of the machine component passes through the movable seat; the base is also provided with a threaded hole passing through the base, the position of the threaded hole corresponds to the position of the first concave hole, and the bottom of the machine component is suitable for being screwed into the threaded hole.

[0011] In one embodiment, both ends of the movable seat are provided with grooves running through the movable seat from top to bottom, and the support columns are located in the grooves at both ends of the movable seat to guide the movable seat to move up and down.

[0012] In one embodiment, the method further comprises: a plurality of connectors, wherein the plurality of connectors are respectively disposed at both ends of the conductor strip, and the conductor strip is connected to the support column through the connectors.

[0013] A measurement system includes a vector network analyzer, a near-field probe, an electronic load, and the dynamic microstrip device described above, wherein the output port of the vector network analyzer is electrically connected to one end of a conductor strip of the dynamic microstrip device, the vector network analyzer is used to output a radio frequency signal, and the other end of the conductor strip is electrically connected to the electronic load. The near-field probe is arranged opposite to the conductor strip of the dynamic microstrip device, the near-field probe is electrically connected to the input port of the vector network analyzer, and the near-field probe generates an induced electric field signal after the vector network analyzer outputs the radio frequency signal. The vector network analyzer is also used to measure the forward transmission coefficient.

[0014] A vector network analyzer (VNA) emits an RF signal to apply source excitation to the dynamic microstrip device. Since the dynamic microstrip device's transmission mode is the ideal TEM mode, and the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device is pre-adjusted to match the impedance of the VNA, the signal is not reflected at the connection between the VNA and the dynamic microstrip device. This allows the signal to be fully transmitted to the dynamic microstrip device, where it transmits the TEM wave. Furthermore, since the near-field probe is facing the conductor strip, the TEM wave has no electric or magnetic field components in the transmission direction. Therefore, the induced electric field signal generated by the near-field probe completely corresponds to the output signal of the VNA. After the induced electric field signal is input into the VNA, an accurate calibration factor can be derived based on the measured parameters.

[0015] In one embodiment, the method further comprises: a displacement device for adjusting the position of the near-field probe to adjust the height of the near-field probe relative to the conductor strip.

[0016] A calibration factor determination method, performed based on the measurement system described above, comprises:

[0017] After the vector network analyzer sends a radio frequency signal, obtaining a forward transmission coefficient measured by the vector network analyzer;

[0018] Obtaining the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device and the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device;

[0019] A calibration factor is determined based on the acquired data.

[0020] In one embodiment, obtaining the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device includes:

[0021] Obtaining a first distance between the conductor strip and the base, a second distance between the conductor strip and the near-field probe, and a thickness of the conductor strip;

[0022] A structure function of the dynamic microstrip device is obtained based on the first spacing, the second spacing, and the thickness of the conductor strip.

[0023] A calibration factor determination device, comprising:

[0024] A first acquisition module is used to obtain a forward transmission coefficient measured by the vector network analyzer after the vector network analyzer sends a radio frequency signal;

[0025] A second acquisition module is used to obtain the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device and the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device;

[0026] A determination module determines a magnetic field strength calibration factor based on the acquired data.

[0027] A computer device includes a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the processor executes the computer program, the following steps are implemented:

[0028] After the vector network analyzer sends a radio frequency signal, obtaining a forward transmission coefficient measured by the vector network analyzer;

[0029] Obtaining the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device and the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device;

[0030] A calibration factor is determined based on the acquired data.

[0031] A computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the following steps:

[0032] After the vector network analyzer sends a radio frequency signal, obtaining a forward transmission coefficient measured by the vector network analyzer;

[0033] Obtaining the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device and the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device;

[0034] A calibration factor is determined based on the acquired data.

[0035] The advantages of the above-mentioned calibration factor determination method, apparatus, computer device and storage medium over the prior art are the same as the advantages of the above-mentioned measurement system over the prior art, and will not be repeated here.

[0036] A measurement system includes a signal source, a spectrum analyzer, a near-field probe, an electronic load, and the dynamic microstrip device described above, wherein the signal source is electrically connected to one end of a conductor strip of the dynamic microstrip device and is used to output a radio frequency signal. The other end of the conductor strip is electrically connected to the electronic load. The near-field probe is arranged opposite to the conductor strip of the dynamic microstrip device and generates an induced electric field signal after the signal source outputs the radio frequency signal. The near-field probe is electrically connected to the spectrum analyzer and the spectrum analyzer is used to measure the induced electric field signal.

[0037] A radio frequency signal is emitted from a signal source to apply source excitation to the dynamic microstrip device. Since the transmission mode of the dynamic microstrip device is an ideal TEM mode, and the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device is pre-adjusted to match the impedance of the signal source, the signal will not be reflected at the connection between the signal source and the dynamic microstrip device. Therefore, the signal is completely transmitted to the dynamic microstrip device and the TEM wave is transmitted in the dynamic microstrip device. Since the near-field probe is facing the conductor strip, the TEM wave has no electric field and magnetic field components in the transmission direction. Therefore, the induced electric field signal generated by the near-field probe completely corresponds to the output signal. After the induced electric field signal is input into the spectrum analyzer, an accurate calibration factor can be obtained based on the signal parameters output by the signal source and the measurement parameters.

[0038] In one embodiment, the method further comprises: a displacement device for adjusting the position of the near-field probe to adjust the height of the near-field probe relative to the conductor strip.

[0039] A calibration factor determination method, performed based on the measurement system described above, comprises:

[0042] A calibration factor is determined based on the acquired data.

[0043] In one embodiment, obtaining the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device includes:

[0044] Obtaining a first distance between the conductor strip and the base, a second distance between the conductor strip and the near-field probe, and a thickness of the conductor strip;

[0045] A structure function of the dynamic microstrip device is obtained based on the first spacing, the second spacing, and the thickness of the conductor strip.

[0046] A calibration factor determination device, comprising:

[0047] A first acquisition module is used to obtain the induced electric field signal value of the near-field probe measured by the spectrum analyzer after the signal source is used to output the radio frequency signal;

[0048] A second acquisition module is used to obtain the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device and the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device;

[0049] A determination module is used to determine a magnetic field strength calibration factor based on the acquired data.

[0050] A computer device includes a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the processor executes the computer program, the following steps are implemented:

[0075] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a dynamic microstrip device 302 is provided, comprising:

[0076] Conductor strip 1;

[0077] The base 2 is further provided with spaced support columns 21, which are used to support the two ends of the conductor strip 1 respectively;

[0078] The air core board 3 is disposed between the support columns 21 and below the conductor strip 1 , with a distance therebetween. The air core board 3 is adapted to move up and down relative to the base 2 to adjust the distance therebetween.

[0079] The dynamic microstrip device 302 described above creates a gap between its conductor strip 1 and base 2, ensuring that the medium above and below the conductor strip 1 is air. This ensures that the signal transmission speed around the conductor strip 1 is uniform, thereby achieving an ideal TEM transmission mode. Furthermore, the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302 can be varied by adjusting the distance between the air core and the conductor strip 1, facilitating dynamic impedance matching with the signal source. Therefore, by using the dynamic microstrip device 302 in place of a microstrip line to obtain a calibration factor, the signal detected by the probe is identical to the signal output by the signal source, enabling accurate electric field coupling characterization and thus accurate calibration factors.

[0080] In addition, the distance between the air core plate 3 and the conductor strip 1 is adjusted by adjusting the air core plate 3 so that it moves up and down relative to the base 2, instead of adjusting the conductor strip 1. This ensures that the conductor strip 1 always remains stable during the adjustment process, thereby ensuring the stability of the signal transmission process during the impedance adjustment process.

[0081] In application, the upper surface of the air core plate 3 is parallel to the lower surface of the conductor strip 1 so that the thickness of the air dielectric layer between the air core plate 3 and the conductor strip 1 is uniform.

[0082] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the air core plate 3 includes: a movable seat 33, a floating plate 31 and a machine component 32. The movable seat 33 is arranged between the support columns 21. The upper surface of the movable seat 33 is provided with a first concave hole 35 corresponding to the shape of the floating plate 31, and a second concave hole 34 corresponding to the shape of the machine component 32 and passing through the movable seat 33 is provided below the first concave hole 35, and the first concave hole 35 is communicated with the second concave hole 34; the floating plate 31 is suitable for being arranged in the first concave hole 35 and fixedly connected to the movable seat 33; the cross-section of the machine component 32 is "T"-shaped, the bottom of the machine component 32 is provided with an external thread, and the bottom surface of the machine component 32 is provided with a flat hole. When the machine component 32 is arranged in the first concave hole 35, the bottom of the machine component 32 passes through the movable seat 33; the base 2 is also provided with a threaded hole 22 passing through the base 2, and the position of the threaded hole 22 corresponds to the position of the second concave hole 34, and the bottom of the machine component 32 is suitable for being screwed into the threaded hole 22.

[0083] The rice component 32 is adapted to rotate within the second recessed hole 34. A flat hole is a hole that is not circular and can be an elliptical hole, a polygonal hole, or an irregular hole. The floating plate 31 is connected to the movable base 33 via bolts, allowing the rice component 32 and the floating plate 31 to be detached from the movable base 33.

[0084] Specifically, by providing a flat hole on the bottom surface of the machine component 32, the machine component 32 can be driven to rotate by an "L"-shaped wrench whose end is loosely fitted in the flat hole. For example, the flat hole provided on the bottom surface of the machine component 32 is a regular hexagonal hole. Then, by inserting one end of an inner hexagonal wrench into the flat hole and turning the inner hexagonal wrench, the machine component 32 can be driven to rotate in the second concave hole 34. Since the bottom of the machine rice component 32 is screwed into the threaded hole 22, the rotation of the machine rice component 32 will cause the machine rice component 32 to move up and down. When the machine rice component 32 moves up, the top of the machine rice component 32 will apply an upward thrust to the float plate 31. Since the float plate 31 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 33, the float plate 31 and the movable seat 33 will move upward as a whole, thereby realizing the upward movement of the air core plate 3. When the machine rice component 32 moves down, since the cross-section of the machine rice component 32 is "T"-shaped, the corresponding cross-sectional shape of the second concave hole 34 is also "T"-shaped, when the machine rice component 32 moves down, its top will apply a thrust to the movable seat 33, causing the movable seat 33 to move downward, thereby realizing the downward movement of the air core plate 3. At the same time, the bottom of the machine component 32 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 22, which effectively ensures that when the machine component 32 is not rotating, the machine component 32 is in a stable state, thereby keeping the movable seat 33 and the floating plate 31 supported by the machine component 32 stable. After the adjustment is completed, the distance between the air core plate 3 and the conductor strip 1 is fixed, thereby fixing the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302.

[0085] In one embodiment, grooves are respectively provided at both ends of the movable seat 33 and pass through the grooves up and down. The support columns 21 are respectively located in the grooves at both ends of the movable seat 33 to guide the movable seat 33 to move up and down.

[0086] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the groove corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the support column 21. When the support column 21 is respectively located in the grooves at both ends of the movable seat 33, under the restriction of the support column 21, the movable seat 33 cannot move horizontally but can only move up and down, ensuring that the movable seat 33 will not tilt during the adjustment process.

[0087] In one embodiment, the present invention further comprises: a plurality of connectors, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the conductor strip 1 , and the conductor strip 1 is connected to the support column 21 through the connectors.

[0088] Specifically, threaded holes 22 are provided on both the connector and the support column 21. The connector is bolted to the support column 21, and the connector is fixedly connected to the conductor strip 1, which can be connected by welding. Providing connectors at both ends of the conductor strip 1 facilitates electrical connection between the dynamic microstrip device 302 and external devices.

[0089] In one embodiment, Figure 3As shown, a measurement system 300 is provided, including a vector network analyzer 301, a near-field probe 303, an electronic load 304, and the dynamic microstrip device 302 as described above. The output port of the vector network analyzer 301 is electrically connected to one end of the conductor strip 1 of the dynamic microstrip device 302. The vector network analyzer 301 is used to output a radio frequency signal. The other end of the conductor strip 1 is electrically connected to the electronic load 304. The near-field probe 303 is arranged opposite to the conductor strip 1 of the dynamic microstrip device 302. The near-field probe 303 is electrically connected to the input port of the vector network analyzer 301. The near-field probe 303 generates an induced electric field signal after the vector network analyzer 301 outputs the radio frequency signal. The vector network analyzer 301 is also used to measure the forward transmission coefficient.

[0090] The measurement system 300 uses a vector network analyzer 301 to emit an RF signal, applying source excitation to a dynamic microstrip device 302. Because the transmission mode of the dynamic microstrip device 302 is an ideal TEM mode, and the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302 is pre-adjusted to match the impedance of the vector network analyzer 301, the signal is not reflected at the connection between the vector network analyzer 301 and the dynamic microstrip device 302. This allows the signal to be fully transmitted to the dynamic microstrip device 302, where the TEM wave is transmitted. Furthermore, because the near-field probe 303 is facing the conductor strip 1, the TEM wave has no electric field or magnetic field components in the transmission direction. Therefore, the induced electric field signal generated by the near-field probe 303 completely corresponds to the output signal of the vector network analyzer 301. After the induced electric field signal is input into the vector network analyzer 301, an accurate calibration factor can be obtained based on the measurement parameters.

[0091] In one embodiment, the measurement system 300 further includes a displacement device, which is used to adjust the position of the near-field probe 303 to adjust the height of the near-field probe 303 relative to the conductor strip 1 .

[0092] The displacement device may be a three-dimensional displacement stage.

[0093] Specifically, the distance between the near-field probe 303 and the conductor strip 1 will affect the detection effect of the near-field probe 303. The position of the near-field probe 303 is adjusted by the displacement device to adjust the distance between the near-field probe 303 and the conductor strip 1, so that the distance between the near-field probe 303 and the conductor strip 1 is a reasonable distance, thereby enabling the near-field probe 303 to have a better detection effect.

[0094] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, a calibration factor determination method is provided, which is performed based on the above measurement system 300, including:

[0095] S501 : After the vector network analyzer 301 sends a radio frequency signal, a forward transmission coefficient measured by the vector network analyzer 301 is obtained.

[0096] Specifically, vector network analysis measures the complex transmission characteristics of a two-port microwave network system consisting of a near-field probe 303 and a dynamic microstrip device 302, thereby obtaining calibration factors. The process involves the signal source of vector network analyzer 301 generating a sinusoidal test signal. Port 1 of vector network analyzer 301 outputs this signal to dynamic microstrip device 302, generating a TEM wave on conductor strip 1 of dynamic microstrip device 302. Near-field probe 303 senses the TEM wave, generating an induced electric field signal that is transmitted to port 2 of vector network analyzer 301. Port 2 receives the induced electric field signal from near-field probe 303, and the forward transmission coefficient from port 1 to port 2 is calculated.

[0097] S502 : Obtain the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302 and the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device 302 .

[0098] Specifically, the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302 can be obtained by pre-measurement, where Y1 and Y2 are structural functions of the microstrip structure, Y1 = h + t, where h is the height of the probe from the microstrip strip during measurement, and t is the thickness of the microstrip line. Y2 = Y1 + 2D, where D is the height of the microstrip line from the ground plane.

[0099] S503: Determine a calibration factor based on the acquired data.

[0100] Specifically, the process of determining the calibration factor is as follows:

[0101] According to Faraday's law: the probe voltage V probe =SBω,

[0102] Where S is the probe loop area, B is the magnetic induction intensity, and ω is the angular frequency.

[0103] ω=2πf;

[0104] B=μR(h)I in ;

[0105] Y1=h+t,Y2=Y1+2D;

[0106]

[0107] Among them, V a is the input voltage and Z is the impedance.

[0108]

[0109] Wherein, S21 represents the forward transmission coefficient from port 1 to port 2 when port 2 is matched.

[0110] Taking magnetic field strength as an example,

[0111] So the magnetic field strength calibration factor

[0112] In one embodiment, obtaining the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device 302 includes:

[0113] S5021 : Obtain a first distance between the conductor strip 1 and the base 2 , a second distance between the conductor strip 1 and the near-field probe 303 , and a thickness of the conductor strip 1 .

[0114] S5022 : Obtaining a structure function of the dynamic microstrip device 302 based on the first spacing, the second spacing, and the thickness of the conductor strip 1 .

[0115] The parameters included in Y1 and Y2 are calculated by SI9000 to guide the design of the dynamic microstrip device 302 so that the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302 is a predetermined value, such as 50Ω.

[0116] Therefore, the values ​​of the various parameters included in Y1 and Y2 are known and can be directly obtained, and the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302 is also determined. Taking the calculation of the magnetic field strength calibration factor as an example, S21 is measured by the vector network analyzer 301. The values ​​of various parameters included in Y1 and Y2 are known. It can be calculated that, if the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302 is known, the magnetic field strength calibration factor can be calculated.

[0117] In another embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a measurement system 400 is provided, including a signal source 401, a spectrum analyzer 402, a near-field probe 303, an electronic load 304, and the dynamic microstrip device 302 as described above. The signal source 401 is electrically connected to one end of the conductor strip 1 of the dynamic microstrip device 302, and the signal source 401 is used to output a radio frequency signal. The other end of the conductor strip 1 is electrically connected to the electronic load 304. The near-field probe 303 is arranged opposite to the conductor strip 1 of the dynamic microstrip device 302. After the signal source 401 outputs the radio frequency signal, the near-field probe 303 generates an induced electric field signal. The near-field probe 303 is electrically connected to the spectrum analyzer 402, and the spectrum analyzer 402 is used to measure the induced electric field signal.

[0118] A radio frequency signal is emitted by signal source 401 to apply source excitation to the dynamic microstrip device 302. Since the transmission mode of the dynamic microstrip device 302 is an ideal TEM mode, and the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302 is pre-adjusted, the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302 and the signal source 401 are matched. Therefore, the signal will not be reflected at the connection between the signal source 401 and the dynamic microstrip device 302, so that the signal is completely transmitted to the dynamic microstrip device 302 and the TEM wave is transmitted in the dynamic microstrip device 302. Since the near-field probe 303 is facing the conductor strip 1, the TEM wave has no electric field and magnetic field components in the transmission direction. Therefore, the induced electric field signal generated by the near-field probe 303 completely corresponds to the output signal. After the induced electric field signal is input into the spectrum analyzer 402, an accurate calibration factor can be obtained based on the signal parameters output by the signal source 401 and the measurement parameters.

[0119] In one embodiment, the measurement system 400 further includes a displacement device, which is used to adjust the position of the near-field probe 303 to adjust the height of the near-field probe 303 relative to the conductor strip 1 .

[0122] S602: Obtain the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302 and the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device 302;

[0123] S603: Determine a calibration factor based on the acquired data.

[0124] Specifically, according to the above description, the magnetic field strength calibration factor When the values ​​of the parameters included in the structure functions Y1 and Y2 are known, It can be calculated that V a is the input voltage, is the voltage of the signal output by the signal source 401, Z is the impedance of the dynamic microstrip device 302, V probe CF is calculated by measuring with spectrum analyzer 502. m The relevant data can be determined, therefore, CF m It can be calculated.

[0125] In one embodiment, obtaining the structure function of the dynamic microstrip device 302 includes:

[0126] S6021: Obtain a first distance between the conductor strip 1 and the base 2 , a second distance between the conductor strip 1 and the near-field probe 303 , and a thickness of the conductor strip 1 .
