[0059] Embodiment 3

[0060] This embodiment is based on the above embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3 The application further provides a method for segmenting impedance self-matching of the airborne cable network of the catamaran verification machine, and the method for impedance self-matching of each impedance self-matching unit comprises the following steps:

[0061] Step S1: obtaining the change rate of voltage and current under ground state;

[0062] Step S2: Obtain the voltage and current rate of change of a plurality of sampling points in the air state, and then calculate the average value of the voltage and current rate of change;

[0064] Step S4: If the deviation rate obtained in step S3 is greater than 10%, start to perform impedance self-matching, dynamically adjust the matching resistance until the deviation rate is less than 10%.

[0065] It should be noted that the above-mentioned deviation rate refers to the ratio of the difference between the average value of the voltage and current rate of change and the voltage and current rate of change on the ground to the voltage and current rate of change on the ground.

[0066] Specifically, the impedance self-matching algorithm of the present application is constructed based on a second-order circuit model and a hysteresis feedback model. After the cable network is laid, the inductance L and the capacitance C of the cable loop are measured according to the actual driving circuit and the working frequency of the communication signal, and the initial matching resistance value Rc is obtained according to the critical damping calculation formula of the second-order circuit.

[0067]

[0068] Wherein, R c is the initial matching resistance value; L is the inductance; C is the capacitance.

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] Wherein, U is the voltage at both ends of the cable segment; L is the inductance; is the rate of change of the current; I is the current flowing through the cable; C is the capacitance; is the rate of change of the voltage.

[0075] The voltage and current of the segment are sampled by the voltage sensor and the current sensor, and the voltage and current change rates are calculated and digitally filtered in real time, ten sampling points are taken to calculate the voltage and current change rates, and the average value is taken, which can avoid the data deviation caused by calculation error, and the average value is compared with the voltage change rate and the current change rate on the ground, when the average value is lower than the ground change rate or the deviation of the average value is higher than the ground change rate by more than 10%, impedance self-matching is started. The initial matching resistance value is taken as the basis, the digital potentiometer digital quantity adjustment input is calculated according to the difference of the change rate, the digital potentiometer adjusts the matching resistance value according to the digital quantity adjustment input, and the resistance is continuously adjusted according to the feedback adjustment, until the deviation rate is controlled within 10%, so that the cable loop is in a critical damping and slightly over-damped state; the number of oscillations is indirectly judged by judging the number of change rates of 0, which is used as a backup criterion for damping state.

[0076] The application introduces a second-order circuit model and a hysteresis feedback model into the impedance self-matching control process, and realizes the segmented impedance self-matching method by adjusting the respective digital potentiometers, which improves the signal transmission accuracy of the airborne cable network of the large catamaran model verification machine, and improves the transmission quality of the communication, driving and power supply signals.
