[0052] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] In the process of antenna matching design, radio frequency transmission requires an antenna and a coaxial cable. We always hope to transmit radio frequency signals over as long a distance as possible. In order to transmit signals over a longer distance, we often hope to use a large power to transmit signals to cover a larger communication range.

[0054] Since the antenna impedance changes with the environment, a matching circuit containing impedance adjustment devices is needed to compensate for the difference between the antenna impedance and the ideal impedance in real time, so that the transmission line always tends to the optimal matching impedance, thereby maximizing the output power.

[0055] In practical applications, impedance detectors can be deployed in the antenna, and adjustments can be made based on the detection results. However, this method is costly. To reduce the cost of antenna impedance adjustment, this invention provides an impedance adjustment method for a transmission line, which can be a wire or coaxial cable connecting the antenna. The method involves acquiring the voltage at multiple points on the transmission line and determining the reflection coefficient at each point based on the voltage. Since the reflection coefficient is correlated with impedance, the impedance of the transmission line can be adjusted based on the reflection coefficient. Therefore, impedance adjustment of the antenna transmission line can be achieved without an impedance detector, reducing the adjustment cost.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a transmission line impedance adjustment method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0057] Step 101: Obtain the voltage of multiple target points on the target transmission line.

[0058] In practical applications, multiple target points can be pre-selected on the target transmission line; then, voltage detectors can be deployed at the locations of these multiple target points.

[0059] While the target transmission line is in operation, the voltage detector can monitor the voltage at multiple target points in real time.

[0060] Step 102: Determine the target reflection coefficient corresponding to each target point based on the voltage of multiple target points.

[0061] After determining the voltage at each target point, the target reflection coefficient corresponding to each target point can be determined based on the voltage at each target point; the target reflection coefficient can be referred to as the ratio of reflected voltage to incident voltage.

[0062] Step 103: Adjust the impedance of the target transmission line according to the target reflection coefficient corresponding to each target point.

[0063] After determining the target reflection coefficient for each target point, the impedance of the target transmission line can be adjusted based on the relationship between the reflection coefficient and impedance. Specifically, the target transmission line is equipped with a series inductor and an adjustable resistor, and the impedance adjustment can be achieved through sub-steps:

[0064] Sub-step 11: Adjust the series inductor and regulating resistor to adjust the impedance of the target transmission line to be conjugate matched with the output impedance of the transmitter.

[0065] When adjusting the target transmission line, the series inductor and regulating resistor can be adjusted based on the target reflection coefficient corresponding to each target point, so as to adjust the impedance of the target transmission line to match the output impedance of the transmitter.

[0066] As an example, the output impedance of the transmitter can be preset; then, the impedance of the target transmission line is adjusted to match the preset output impedance of the transmitter. The output impedance of the transmitter can be set according to the actual situation, for example, 50Ω. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0067] In this embodiment of the invention, the voltages of multiple target points on the target transmission line are acquired; based on the voltages of the multiple target points, the target reflection coefficient corresponding to each target point is determined; and based on the target reflection coefficient corresponding to each target point, the impedance of the target transmission line is adjusted. This embodiment of the invention enables impedance adjustment of the antenna transmission line without the need for an impedance detector, reducing the cost of adjustment.

[0068] Reference Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of another method for adjusting the impedance of a transmission line according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0069] Step 201: Multiple target points include the location of the antenna of the target transmission line, the location at one-eighth wavelength from the antenna, and the location at one-quarter wavelength from the antenna; each target point is equipped with a voltage detector; from the voltage detectors corresponding to each target point, obtain the voltages corresponding to the location of the antenna of the target transmission line, the location at one-eighth wavelength from the antenna, and the location at one-quarter wavelength from the antenna.

[0070] In practical applications, multiple target locations can include the location of the target transmission line's antenna, the location one-eighth of a wavelength away from the antenna, and the location one-quarter of a wavelength away from the antenna.

[0071] When acquiring the voltage at multiple target points, the voltage corresponding to the position of the antenna on the target transmission line, the position one-eighth of a wavelength away from the antenna, and the position one-quarter of a wavelength away from the antenna can be acquired separately.

[0072] Step 202: Determine the target reflection coefficient corresponding to each target point based on the voltage of multiple target points.

[0073] After determining the voltage at each target point, the target reflection coefficient corresponding to each target point can be determined based on the voltage at each target point.

[0074] Step 203: Determine the sign of the real part and the sign of the imaginary part of the reflection coefficient of each target.

[0075] After determining the reflection coefficient of each target, the real and imaginary parts of the reflection coefficient of each target can be extracted.

[0076] Then, the signs of the real part and the imaginary part of the reflection coefficient of each target can be determined.

[0077] Step 204: Adjust the impedance of the target transmission line according to the sign of the real part and the sign of the imaginary part of the reflection coefficient of each target.

[0078] After determining the signs of the real and imaginary parts of each target reflection coefficient, the impedance of the target transmission line can be adjusted based on the signs of the real and imaginary parts of each target reflection coefficient.

[0079] Specifically, the series inductor and the regulating resistor can be adjusted according to the sign of the real part and the sign of the imaginary part of the reflection coefficient of each target, so as to adjust the impedance of the target transmission line to be conjugate matched with the output impedance of the transmitting source. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, step 204 may include the following sub-steps:

[0081] Sub-step 21: Determine the mapping region of each target point in the preset equal impedance circle based on the sign of the real part and the sign of the imaginary part of the reflection coefficient of each target.

[0082] In practical applications, a preset equal impedance circle can be set; then, based on the signs of the real and imaginary parts of the reflection coefficients of each target, the mapping region of each target point within the preset equal impedance circle can be determined; for example... Figure 3a The region can be determined based on the signs of the real and imaginary parts of the target's reflectance coefficient; then, based on the determined region, from... Figure 3b The corresponding region is determined as the mapping region.

[0083] For example: if a target's reflectance corresponds to Figure 3a If we consider Ⅰ, then we can determine its mapping region as Ⅰ. Figure 3b I in the middle.

[0084] Sub-step 22: Adjust the impedance of the target transmission line according to the mapping area of ​​each target point in the preset equal impedance circle.

[0085] After determining the mapping region of each target point in the preset equal impedance circle, the impedance of the target transmission line can be adjusted according to the mapping region of each target point in the preset equal impedance circle. Specifically, the steps of adjusting the impedance of the target transmission line according to the mapping region of each target point in the preset equal impedance circle can be performed based on the binary search method.

[0086] As an example, sub-step 12 can be implemented as follows:

[0087] Based on the mapping area of ​​each target point in the preset equal impedance circle, determine the mapping area of ​​an auxiliary point; based on the mapping area of ​​each target point in the preset equal impedance circle and the mapping area of ​​the auxiliary point, adjust the impedance of the target transmission line.

[0088] In practical applications, the mapping area of ​​the target point in the preset equal impedance circle may not be suitable for adjustment; in this case, an auxiliary point is constructed; specifically, the mapping area of ​​the auxiliary point in the preset equal impedance circle can be determined based on the mapping area of ​​each target point in the preset equal impedance circle.

[0089] Then, using this auxiliary point as a starting point, and in conjunction with each target point, the impedance of the target transmission line is adjusted.

[0090] Specifically, the impedance of the target transmission line can be adjusted based on the binary search method, according to the mapping area of ​​each target point in the preset equal impedance circle, and the mapping area of ​​the auxiliary point.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mapping area where the auxiliary point is located can be determined in the following way:

[0092] Based on the mapping region of each target point in the preset equal impedance circle, and the voltage measured at each target point, the mapping region of the auxiliary point is determined.

[0093] In practical applications, the series inductor and regulating resistor corresponding to the target point can be adjusted in advance, and the voltage of each target point can be monitored in real time. Then, when the voltage of the target point is the same, the adjustment value is recorded, and the mapping area of ​​the estimated auxiliary point is determined based on the adjustment.

[0094] In this embodiment of the invention, multiple target points include the position of the antenna of the target transmission line, a position at a distance of one-eighth wavelength from the antenna, and a position at a distance of one-quarter wavelength from the antenna. A voltage detector is deployed at each target point. The voltages corresponding to the antenna position, the position at a distance of one-eighth wavelength from the antenna, and the position at a distance of one-quarter wavelength from the antenna are obtained from the voltage detectors corresponding to each target point. Based on the voltages of the multiple target points, the target reflection coefficient corresponding to each target point is determined. The signs of the real and imaginary parts of each target reflection coefficient are determined. Based on the signs of the real and imaginary parts of each target reflection coefficient, the impedance of the target transmission line is adjusted. Through this embodiment of the invention, impedance adjustment of the antenna transmission line can be achieved without an impedance detector, reducing the adjustment cost.

[0095] To further illustrate the impedance adjustment method for the transmission line described above, the following examples are provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0096] Step a: As Figure 4 The voltage at three points on the transmission line at -90°, -45°, and 0° is measured, and the signs of the real and imaginary parts of the reflection coefficient are calculated.

[0097] Step b: Using the binary search algorithm and the feedback information from step a, converge the matching network to the optimal matching point.

[0098] The specific steps for measuring the voltage of the transmission line at three points (-90°, -45°, 0°) in step a, and converting this voltage to obtain the signs of the real and imaginary parts of the reflection coefficient, include:

[0099] (1) Place voltage detectors at three locations: at the antenna, at a distance of one-eighth wavelength from the antenna, and at a distance of one-quarter wavelength from the antenna.

[0100] (2) Measure the square of the effective voltage at these three points. This index is proportional to the power at that point.

[0101]

[0102] Among them, P C P represents the power at point C. B P represents the power at point B. A V represents the power at point A. C The voltage at point C is represented by V. B The voltage at point B, V A Let Γ represent the voltage at point A, Γ be the reflection coefficient, k be the proportionality coefficient, and θ be the angle corresponding to ABC (e.g., A corresponds to -90°).

[0103] (3) The outputs of the three voltage detectors are converted into the signs of the real and imaginary parts of the reflection coefficient by passing them through several adders and subtractors.

[0104] Further analysis shows that the real and imaginary parts of the reflection coefficient can be expressed as equation (2). Therefore, the signs of the real and imaginary parts of the reflection coefficient can be obtained through a voltage detector, an adder, and a comparator.

[0105]

[0106] Among them, Γ x Γ represents the imaginary part of the reflection coefficient. y This represents the real part of the reflection coefficient.

[0107] Step b, which utilizes the binary search algorithm and the feedback information from step a to converge the matching network to the optimal matching point, specifically involves the following method:

[0108] (1) Use the binary search convergence criterion to determine whether the system is applicable;

[0109] For matching networks (such as...) Figure 5 As shown, including adjustable devices X2 and X3, and fixed device X1), the following criterion (3) must be met.

[0110]

[0111] Where Im is the impedance. Input impedance.

[0112] For matching networks (such as...) Figure 5 As shown, including adjustable devices X1 and X3, and fixed device X2), the following criterion (4) must be met.

[0113]

[0114] (2) First, match the type of the network and determine the initial state of the system according to the voltages at three points.

[0115] Determine the initial state of the system according to the voltages at three points and select an appropriate adjustment strategy.

[0116] (3) Select an appropriate binary search adjustment strategy to accelerate the convergence process.

[0117] Strategy 1:

[0118] Match the network (adjustable devices X2, X3, fixed device X1): As Figure 6a shown, assume that the input resistance is positively correlated with X2, then:

[0119] Case 1: Гx(A) < 0 or Гx(C) < 0

[0120] As Figure 6a shown, the adjustment sequence is {A, A21, A22, A23, A24...};

[0121] As Figure 6a shown, adjust point A. Since Xin(A) < j50, increase X2. Point A is adjusted clockwise along the constant impedance circle to A21. Then decrease X3 to adjust A21 to A22. Continue to increase X2 to adjust A22 to A23. Then decrease X3 to adjust A23 to A24. Continue to alternately adjust X2 and X3 to make Rin(An) gradually approach 50Ω to achieve the required impedance matching accuracy.

[0122] Case 2: Гx(A) > 0 & Гx(C) > 0 & Гy(A) > 0 & Гy(C) < 0

[0123] As Figure 6a shown, the adjustment sequence is {A`, A11, A12, A13...};

[0124] As Figure 6a shown, adjust point A`. Since Xin(A`) > j50, decrease X3. A` is adjusted to A11. Continue to increase X2. A11 is adjusted clockwise along the constant impedance circle to A12. Then decrease X3 to adjust A12 to A13. Continue to alternately adjust X2 and X3 to make Rin(An) gradually approach 50Ω to achieve the required impedance matching accuracy.

[0125] Case 3: Гx(A) > 0 & Гx(C) > 0 & Гy(A) < 0 & Гy(C) < 0

[0126] As Figure 6b shown, the adjustment sequence is {A, A1, A2, A3...};

[0127] As Figure 6bAs shown, adjust point A. Since Xin(A) < -j50, increase X2 and adjust A clockwise along the equal impedance circle to A1. Then decrease X3 to adjust A1 to A2. Then increase X2 to adjust A2 to A3. Continue to adjust X3 and X2 alternately to make Rx(An) gradually approach 50Ω to achieve the required impedance matching accuracy.

[0128] Strategy 2:

[0129] Matching network (adjustable components X2 and X3, fixed component X1): such as Figure 6b As shown, assuming the input resistance is negatively correlated with X2, then:

[0130] Case 1: Гx(B)<0 or Гx(D)<0

[0131] like Figure 6c As shown, the adjustment order is {D`, D21, D22, D23…};

[0132] like Figure 6c As shown, adjust point D`. Since Xin(D`)>-j50, increase X2, and adjust D` counterclockwise along the equal impedance circle to D21. Then increase X3, and adjust D21 to D22. Then increase X2, and adjust D22 to D23. Continue to adjust X2 and X3 alternately to make Rin(Dn) gradually approach 50Ω to achieve the required impedance matching accuracy.

[0133] Case 2: Гx(B)>0&Гx(D)>0&Гy(B)>0&Гy(D)<0

[0134] like Figure 6c As shown, the adjustment order is {D,D11,D12,D13…};

[0135] like Figure 6c As shown, adjust point D. Since Xin(D) < -j50, increase X3 and adjust D to D11. Increase X2 and adjust D11 counterclockwise along the equal impedance circle to D12. Increase X3 again and adjust D12 to D13. Continue to adjust X3 and X2 alternately to make Rin(Dn) gradually approach 50Ω to achieve the required impedance matching accuracy.

[0136] Case 3: Гx(B)>0&Гx(D)>0&Гy(D)>0&Гy(B)>0

[0137] like Figure 6d As shown, the adjustment order is {D,D1,D2,D3…};

[0138] like Figure 6dAs shown, adjust point D. Since Xin(D)>j50, increase X2. Adjust D counterclockwise along the equal impedance circle to D1. Then decrease X3. Adjust D1 to D2. Then increase X2. Adjust D2 to D3. Continue to adjust X3 and X2 alternately to make Rin(Dn) gradually approach 50Ω to achieve the required impedance matching accuracy.

[0139] It should be noted that in Strategy 2, the voltages at points A and C can be equalized by adjusting X3 first; at this point, the adjustment amount of X3 can be determined; then, the region where point D is located can be determined based on this adjustment amount and point B.

[0140] Strategy 3:

[0141] Matching network (adjustable components X1 and X3, fixed component X2)

[0142] The adjustment method is the same as that of the matching network (adjustable devices X2 and X3, fixed device X1), only X1 needs to be replaced with X2, which will not be described in detail here.

[0143] It should be noted that the adjustment trajectory in the figure is actually obtained by searching using the binary search method.

[0144] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the method embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the described order of actions, because according to the embodiments of the present invention, some steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should also understand that the embodiments described in the specification are preferred embodiments, and the actions involved are not necessarily essential to the embodiments of the present invention.
