Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a method for positioning and identifying electromagnetic interference sources in a shielding box. BACKGROUND

[0002] The miniaturization, integration and high speed of modern electronic devices have brought great challenges to electromagnetic compatibility design. Various electronic components assembled in the same electromagnetic environment can generate electromagnetic radiation, leading to serious electromagnetic interference and signal / power integrity problems. Although interference signals can be isolated by shielding devices such as shielding boxes, electromagnetic radiation can still leak from the ventilation slots and joints of the shielding boxes. Therefore, positioning and identifying electromagnetic interference sources inside the shielding box are of great significance for electromagnetic compatibility diagnosis.

[0003] Near-field scanning is an effective technology for identifying electromagnetic interference sources. According to the near-field data, the source reconstruction method can be implemented to replace the real radiation source with an equivalent source (equivalent current, magnetic current or dipole), and then realize the positioning and identification of the electromagnetic interference source. However, for the electromagnetic interference source inside the shielding box, the traditional source reconstruction method is difficult to accurately reconstruct its equivalent source, so it cannot effectively identify the interference source. Jun-Jian Ju et al. used a differential evolution algorithm to locate an ideal dipole radiation source inside a shielding box (Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (APEMC), 2022, pp. 813-815), but this method cannot effectively locate real electromagnetic interference sources (such as transmission lines).

[0004] Chinese patent application No. CN202110969969.X discloses a method and device for quickly detecting parasitic electromagnetic radiation of an electronic system in a shielding box, the method comprising the following steps: sampling to obtain tangential electric field data on the ventilation hole of the shielding box; establishing a shielding box model filled with ideal electric conductors, placing magnetic Hertz dipoles on the sampling points, and simulating to extract the corresponding numerical Green's function; based on the numerical Green's function and the tangential electric field data, obtaining the magnetic field on the first radius spherical surface surrounding the shielding box; based on the magnetic field on the first radius spherical surface, using near-far field transformation to obtain the electric field of the test point, the second radius of the spherical surface on which the test point is located is greater than the first radius; based on the electric field of the test point, judging the parasitic radiation of the electronic system in the shielding box. However, this application solves the problem that when the equipment in the shielding box changes, a complete full-wave numerical solution process needs to be implemented again, which will bring huge computational consumption. This application does not solve the problem that the existing positioning and identification method of electromagnetic interference sources cannot accurately position and identify real electromagnetic interference sources (such as transmission lines).

[0005] It can be seen that due to the limitations of the traditional method, it is difficult to realize the accurate positioning and identification of the electromagnetic interference source in the shielding box. SUMMARY

The method solves or partially solves the problem that the existing positioning and identification method for electromagnetic interference sources cannot accurately position and identify real electromagnetic interference sources such as transmission lines.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] As Figure 1 described, the present embodiment provides a method for locating and identifying electromagnetic interference sources in a shielded box, comprising the following steps:

[0043] Step S1, near-field scanning is performed on the sampling plane to obtain tangential magnetic field data.

[0044] Step S2, an initial equivalent model is established, which is composed of an array of electric dipoles uniformly placed in the shielded box.

[0045] Step S3, numerical Green's function is extracted through full-wave simulation to construct a matrix equation.

[0046] Step S4, the dipole moment of the initial equivalent electric dipole is solved.

[0047] Step S5, the contribution of the equivalent electric dipole is evaluated, and the electric dipoles with small contribution are removed.

[0048] Step S6, magnetic dipoles are added, numerical Green's function is extracted, and a matrix equation is constructed.

[0049] Step S7, the dipole moment of the updated equivalent dipole is solved, and the electromagnetic interference source in the shielded box is located and identified.

[0050] The core idea of the method is to construct an equivalent source model composed of a shielded box and equivalent dipoles, to simplify the initial equivalent electric dipoles, and to solve the updated equivalent dipoles through two source reconstruction processes. The specific implementation steps of the method are divided into two steps: first, an initial equivalent electric dipole model is established, and the dipole moment of the initial equivalent electric dipole is obtained through the source reconstruction method based on numerical Green's function. Second, the contribution of the initial equivalent electric dipole is evaluated, the electric dipoles with small contribution are removed, and magnetic dipoles are added at the remaining electric dipoles as supplements, and the dipole moment of the updated equivalent dipole is obtained through the second source reconstruction.

[0051] The first step is implemented as follows:

[0052] First, magnetic near-field scanning is performed on the sampling plane above the shielded box, as shown in Figure 2 The tangential magnetic field information obtained by sampling is used to construct matrices H x and H y, respectively, represent the magnetic field components in x and y directions, and the dimension of the matrix is M x 1, M is the number of sampling points.

[0053] Next, an initial equivalent source model as shown in Figure 3 is established, which contains a shielding box and an array of horizontal electric dipoles uniformly distributed on the source plane. Two electric dipoles P x and P y are placed at each source point, which respectively represent the x and y polarized electric dipole components. The number of electric dipoles is N. The tangential magnetic field generated by each unit dipole on the sampling plane is extracted using full-wave simulation software FEKO, and the numerical Green's function matrix and are constructed, where and respectively represent the x and y magnetic field components generated by the x direction unit electric dipole; and respectively represent the x and y magnetic field components generated by the y direction unit electric dipole. After obtaining the numerical Green's function, the following matrix equation is constructed:

[0054]

[0055] In order to ensure the stability of the equation solution, it should be ensured that M ≥ N. The above matrix equation can be represented in the following simplified form:

[0056]

[0057] where G m is the numerical Green's function matrix with a dimension of 2M x N; P is the initial electric dipole matrix with a dimension of N x 1; and H is the sampling tangential magnetic field matrix with a dimension of 2M x 1. The matrix equation is solved using the Tikhonov regularization method to obtain the dipole moment of the initial equivalent electric dipole. According to the initial equivalent electric dipole, it is difficult to directly realize the positioning and identification of the electromagnetic interference source. It is necessary to update the equivalent source through the following steps.

[0058] The second step is specifically implemented as follows:

[0059] First, the contribution of each electric dipole to the initial equivalent source is evaluated using the eigenvectors e k (1 ≤ k ≤ N) of :

[0060]

[0061] where P n (1 ≤ n ≤ N) is the nth element of the dipole matrix P, and e k,n is the nth element of the kth eigenvector e k . Then, η n is normalized to its maximum value ηmax , and remove the electric dipoles whose contribution is less than the threshold η

[0062]

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown in Figure 2, the remaining electric dipole can reflect the location of the electromagnetic interference source to a certain extent. According to the equivalent principle, a horizontal magnetic dipole M is added at the location of the remaining electric dipole. x and M y As a supplement, to improve the accuracy and stability of the equivalent source, such as Figure 5 The full-wave simulation software FEKO is used to extract the tangential magnetic field generated by each unit magnetic dipole on the sampling plane and construct the numerical Green's function matrix. and Then construct the matrix equation

The matrix equation is solved using the Tychonov regularization method to obtain the updated dipole moment of the equivalent dipole.

[0072] Because each updated equivalent dipole contains information such as position, amplitude, and type, a visualization signal can be generated based on this information. The current distribution of the interference source can be determined on a visualization terminal, allowing the precise location and identification of the electromagnetic interference source within the shielding box. Furthermore, the updated equivalent dipole model can be imported into the full-wave simulation software FEKO, where full-wave simulation can be used to obtain the electromagnetic radiation generated by the electromagnetic interference source.

[0073] The solution of the above matrix equation is realized by MATLAB programming algorithm, and the calculation result is verified by FEKO software.

[0074] In order to verify the accuracy of the present application, the method of the present application is used to reconstruct the equivalent sources of the structures in Figure 6 and Figure 7 . Figure 6 and Figure 7 are a transmission line and a shielded box respectively, Figure 6 is a circuit board printed with a U-shaped transmission line (interference source 1) and an L-shaped transmission line (interference source 2), Figure 7 is a shielded box used for experimental verification, Figure 6 The circuit board in Figure 7 is placed inside the shielded box, and the shielded box has two ventilation slots. The specific dimensions are: a1 = 120, b1 = 80, a2 = 150, b2 = 100, w1 = 4, d1 = 40, d2 = 50, d3 = 40, d4 = 60, h = 30, l = 100, w = 15, d = 25 (unit: millimeter). The dielectric constant of the substrate is 4.8, and the thickness is 3 millimeters. The working frequency of the electronic device is 1 GHz. The near-field scanning plane is 10 millimeters away from the shielded box, with a size of 150 x 200 millimeters, and a total of 1271 sampling points. The number of initial equivalent electric dipoles is N = 1200, the threshold is set to η = -4 dB, and the updated equivalent sources include 70 electric dipoles and 140 magnetic dipoles. The amplitudes of the reconstructed equivalent electric dipoles P x and P y are shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 respectively. In the figure, the positions of the interference sources (i.e. the transmission lines) are marked by dashed lines. It can be seen that the updated equivalent dipoles are distributed near the interference sources, and the types of electric dipoles correspond to the direction of the transmission line current, so the real electromagnetic interference sources can be accurately located and identified according to the updated equivalent dipoles. Based on the equivalent dipoles corresponding to each interference source, the radiation emission at 3 meters generated by each interference source is calculated by full-wave simulation, as shown in Figure 10 . It can be seen that the calculation result and the simulation result are very consistent, proving the accuracy of the algorithm of the present application.
