Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a bounded wave electromagnetic pulse simulation device, specifically to a pulse power source for a directly driven bounded wave electromagnetic pulse simulation device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of large-scale integrated circuits, the threat posed by strong electromagnetic pulse (ESP) environments to information technology equipment has received widespread attention. Constructing ESP simulation devices and creating ESP radiation environments is crucial for improving the equipment's ESP defense capabilities. The waveguide antenna of a vertically polarized bounded-wave ESP simulation device typically consists of a front conical section, a parallel section, and a rear conical section. After a modulated high-voltage pulse is injected at the feed end of the front conical section using a pulsed power drive source, a relatively uniform vertically polarized ESP radiation environment is formed based on the characteristic impedance of the front conical section. Then, the waveguide functions of the parallel and rear conical sections are used for electromagnetic wave transmission. Without considering the distortion effect of the bounded-wave antenna on the radiation field, the output waveform parameters of the pulsed power drive source basically determine the shape of the radiation field waveform. In a vertically polarized bounded-wave ESP simulation device, to form a radiation field waveform conforming to the IEC-61000-2-9 standard, the pulse leading edge of the pulse fed to the antenna by the pulsed power source should be 2–3 ns, and the half-width at half-maximum (FWHM) should be 18–28 ns.

[0003] Due to limitations imposed by the discharge circuit inductance, when the pulse amplitude to be fed to the antenna is in the hundreds of kilovolt range, traditional pulse power sources typically employ a single- or two-stage pulse compression technique to generate fast-rising-edge pulses. Pulse compression usually requires the introduction of a steepening stage circuit, including a steepening capacitor and a steepening switch. The steepening capacitor can be composed of film capacitors, ceramic capacitors, or distributed capacitors. The introduction of the steepening stage circuit inevitably increases the size and weight of the pulse power source, hindering the miniaturization and modular expansion of the simulation device. Furthermore, to generate pulse waveforms that meet standard requirements, the circuit parameters of the steepening stage (capacitor values ​​and circuit inductance, etc.) and insulation thresholds need to be precisely calculated and adjusted based on on-site debugging results, making the design process complex and cumbersome. In addition, the effectiveness and stability of the pulse parameters fed to the antenna are constrained by the operating range of the steepening switch; therefore, the operating parameters and status of the steepening switch need to be verified on-site, which is detrimental to the rapid implementation of strong electromagnetic pulse (EMI) resistance testing. Summary of the Invention

[0060] Power supply 6 is connected to the charging ports of the all-solid-state nanosecond pulse generator 3 and the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5 in the triggering system 10. Power supply 6 is a high-voltage DC charging power supply used to provide the operating voltage for the all-solid-state nanosecond pulse generator 3 and the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5. The operating voltage of the all-solid-state nanosecond pulse generator 3 is 1-2kV, its output voltage amplitude is 6-12kV, and its pulse leading edge is 8-10ns.

The high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5 is an insulated compact Marx generator based on a gas switch, in which the main capacitor is a high-voltage ceramic capacitor, and the switch is a stainless steel ball switch. Specifically, the first-stage switch is a trigger tube type switch, which is triggered and turned on under the action of the nanosecond pulse generated by the triggering system 10. The remaining stages of the switch are all self-breakdown type switches. The high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5 uses... Figure 4The circuit topology shown utilizes the distributed capacitance between the electrodes and ground to steepen the output pulse, resulting in an output voltage amplitude of 75–300 kV, a pulse leading edge of 3–5 ns, and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 26–28 ns. The output terminal of the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5 is connected to the input terminal of the load cable 7 to generate high-voltage nanosecond pulses. The load cable 7 is a high-voltage coaxial cable with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, capable of withstanding a voltage amplitude of not less than 300 kV under pulse voltages with a leading edge of 3–5 ns and a FWHM of 26–28 ns. The output terminal of the load cable 7 is connected to the input terminal of the output switch 8 to transmit the high-voltage nanosecond pulses.

[0061] Output switch 8 is used to steepen the leading edge of the pulse generated by the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator, ensuring the pulse waveform meets the requirements of the necessary test environment, and driving the vertically polarized bounded wave antenna to form a standard electromagnetic pulse radiation field. The specific settings of output switch 8 are as follows:

[0062] like Figure 2As shown, the output switch 8 consists of a switch ground plate 8-1, a load cable fixing cover 8-2, an anode insulator 8-3, a grounding cover 8-4, an insulating cylinder 8-5, an anode electrode 8-6, a cathode electrode 8-7, a cathode cover 8-8, and an adjusting nut 8-9. The insulating cylinder 8-5 is filled with working gas and is insulated by high-pressure gas, with a maximum withstand gas pressure of not less than 1.0 MPa. The insulating cylinder 8-5 is made of plexiglass material, and its mechanical strength and insulation strength must be strictly verified. Grounding cover plate 8-4 and cathode cover plate 8-8 are respectively screwed onto both ends of insulating cylinder 8-5. Meanwhile, one side of grounding cover plate 8-4 is fixedly connected to the analog device ground electrode plate 13 in external bounded wave antenna system 14 via switch ground electrode plate 8-1; switch ground electrode plate 8-1 and analog device ground electrode plate 13 are connected by bolts; anode electrode 8-6 is hemispherical and located inside insulating cylinder 8-5; one end of anode insulator 8-3 is connected to the plane of anode electrode 8-6, and the other end extends out of grounding cover plate 8-4; load cable... The output end (i.e., its inner core) of electrode 7 passes through the anode insulator 8-3 and connects to the anode electrode 8-6; the cathode electrode 8-7 includes a hemispherical cathode electrode head and a cathode guide rod; a through hole is provided in the middle of the cathode cover plate 8-8; the cathode electrode head is located inside the insulating cylinder 8-5 and is opposite to the apex of the anode electrode 8-6; the cathode guide rod extends out of the through hole and connects to the waveguide antenna 11 in the external bounded wave antenna system 14; at the same time, a guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the through hole along its axial direction; a protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the cathode guide rod; the protrusion extends into the guide groove and is fitted with the guide groove with a clearance. Both the anode electrode 8-6 and the cathode electrode 8-7 are made of stainless steel or brass, and the non-uniformity coefficient between the electrodes is less than 1.2. It is worth noting that the cathode electrode head and the cathode guide rod are an integral structure. A retaining ring is provided on the side of the cathode cover plate 8-8 away from the insulating cylinder 8-5; an annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the retaining ring; an annular protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the adjusting nut 8-9; the adjusting nut 8-9 is fitted into the retaining ring, so that the annular protrusion and the annular groove engage, and the adjusting nut 8-9 is fitted outside the cathode guide rod; a gap is provided between the outer wall of the annular protrusion and the inner wall of the annular groove, so that the adjusting nut 8-9 can rotate around the cathode guide rod to adjust the position of the cathode electrode 8-7 along its axis, and the electrode gap distance between the anode electrode 8-6 and the cathode electrode head can be adjusted within the range of 0 to 8 mm.

[0063] To ensure the continuity of the bounded wave antenna system structure and impedance, the output switch 8 and the external bounded wave antenna system 14 are designed as a single unit. The output switch 8 is tilted, and the tilt angle is consistent with the angle between the front cone section of the waveguide antenna 11 and the ground plate 13. In other words, the central axes of the anode electrode 8-6 and the cathode electrode 8-7 are parallel to the front cone section in the external bounded wave antenna system 14.

[0064] The gas path control system 9 is used to control the working gas and pressure of the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator and the output switch. The gas path control system 9 is connected to the gas path interfaces of the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5 and the output switch 8. The working gas of the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5 is nitrogen or sulfur hexafluoride, selected according to the working voltage, and the working gas pressure is adjustable within the range of 0.1–0.5 MPa. The working gas of the output switch 8 is nitrogen, and the working gas pressure is adjustable within the range of 0.1–0.6 MPa.

[0065] The matching resistor 12 at the end of the waveguide antenna 11 should be consistent with the characteristic impedance of the waveguide antenna.

[0066] In practical operation, this invention adjusts the pulse amplitude of the feed waveguide antenna by adjusting the operating voltage of the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5, and adjusts the leading edge of the feed waveguide antenna by adjusting the operating state (electrode gap distance and working gas pressure) of the output switch 8, thus achieving flexible adjustment of the electric field waveform in the test space inside the final simulation device. After determining the gap distance using the precision thread on the cathode guide rod in the output switch 8, the gas pressure inside the output switch 8 is adjusted to a preset value by the gas path control system 9. The gas path control system 9 selects the type of working gas for the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5 and presets its working gas pressure. After the power supply 6 charges the all-solid-state nanosecond pulse generator 3 and the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5 to the preset working voltage, the signal generator 1 generates a TTL signal, which is fed into the trigger port of the all-solid-state nanosecond pulse generator 3 via the electro-optic-photoelectric converter 2, realizing the trigger establishment of the all-solid-state nanosecond pulse generator 3. The generated trigger pulse is loaded onto the trigger electrode of the first-stage switch of the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5 through the trigger cable 4, causing the high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator 5 to be triggered, and then fed into the output switch 8 through the load cable 7. By steepening the output switch 8, the wavefront time of the input pulse is reduced, generating a pulse waveform conforming to the IEC-61000-2-9 standard, which drives the bounded wave antenna of the analog device to form a standard radiation field waveform. The leading edge of the excitation pulse waveform is mainly determined by the resistance and inductance of the output switch 8 in conducting the plasma channel.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, the electric field waveform leading edge (the time for the voltage amplitude to rise from 10% to 90% of the peak value) is 2.1 ns, the half width at half maximum (the duration from 50% of the peak value on the wavefront to 50% of the peak value on the wavefront) is 21.5 ns, and the radiation field amplitude is 103 kV / m.

[0068] This invention utilizes a high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator to discharge to a load cable to directly drive a vertically polarized bounded wave antenna containing an output switch. This enables the miniaturization of the pulse power source for a vertically polarized bounded wave electromagnetic pulse simulation device, while also facilitating control and allowing for flexible adjustment of the output pulse amplitude and leading edge.

[0069] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
