[0032] This invention provides a pulse voltage divider with fast rise time, high voltage, and high impedance, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a high-voltage input terminal, a coaxial transmission cable, and a low-voltage compensation terminal connected in sequence;
[0033] The high-voltage input terminal includes at least one non-inductive resistor Rt″ and a capacitor Cp connected in parallel across the non-inductive resistor Rt″. One end of the non-inductive resistor Rt″ is connected to the non-inductive resistor Rt′ and then to the input terminal, and the other end is connected to one end of the ferrite bead Zb. The other end of the ferrite bead Zb is connected to the coaxial transmission cable and the grounded capacitor Cg, respectively.
[0034] The low-voltage compensation terminal includes a DC conditioning circuit, a high-frequency conditioning circuit, and a low-frequency conditioning circuit. The DC conditioning circuit is used to adjust the DC attenuation ratio, the high-frequency conditioning circuit is used to adjust the attenuation ratio and output flatness of the pulse input signal between nanoseconds and microseconds, and the low-frequency conditioning circuit is used to adjust the attenuation ratio and output flatness of the pulse input signal between microseconds and milliseconds.
[0035] Preferably, if there are multiple non-inductive resistors Rt″, a capacitor Cp is connected in parallel across each of the non-inductive resistors Rt″, or the capacitor Cp is connected in parallel across all the non-inductive resistors Rt″ using an external shielding structure; further, if there are multiple non-inductive resistors Rt″, a ground capacitor Cg is connected in parallel across all the non-inductive resistors Rt″, Rt′, and Cp using an external shielding structure; Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, those skilled in the art can configure the circuit according to actual production needs. The principle is that when using rod-type components, a single high-voltage non-inductive resistor Rt″ is preferred; when using chip-type components, multiple non-inductive resistors connected in series to form Rt″ are preferred. Preferably, the DC conditioning circuit includes a series resistor R5 and a variable resistor R6; further, the high-frequency conditioning circuit includes a parallel resistor R4 and a variable resistor R3, with a variable capacitor C3 connected in parallel across resistor R4, and a variable capacitor C2 connected in series with variable resistor R3; further, the low-frequency series circuit group includes a fixed resistor R1-N, a variable resistor R2-N, and a variable capacitor C1-N connected in series, with the resistance values of the fixed resistor R1-N and the variable resistor R2-N being greater than the resistance value of the variable resistor R3; further, the resistance value of the fixed resistor R1-N in adjacent low-frequency series circuit groups increases sequentially in the direction away from the coaxial transmission cable; further, the resistance value of the variable resistor R2-N in adjacent low-frequency series circuit groups increases sequentially in the direction away from the coaxial transmission cable.
[0036] Preferably, the DC resistance Rc of the coaxial transmission cable is 400-600Ω, and the cable capacitance Cc is 200-400pF; preferably, the ferrite bead Zb is a ferrite bead; it should be noted that the pulse voltage divider described in this application has a signal bandwidth of GHz in the picosecond time range, and the reactance of the capacitor becomes smaller. The total attenuation of the pulse voltage divider is mainly controlled by the loss and characteristic impedance of the coaxial transmission cable. By adding a ferrite bead Zb at the front end of the coaxial transmission cable, the ferrite bead exhibits a very high actual impedance, which can provide sufficient attenuation and thus suppress oscillation.
[0037] In the picosecond to nanosecond time range, this becomes more significant by changing resistors Rt′ and R3 and R4, which, combined with ferrite beads Zb, provide the necessary attenuation and reflection damping.
[0038] Equivalent circuit for signal attenuation in the nanosecond to microsecond range, such as Figure 2 As shown, the attenuation consists of the high-voltage end resistor Rt′, parallel capacitor Cp, ground capacitor Cg, low-voltage compensation variable capacitor C2, variable capacitor C3, and measuring instrument Cx. Variable capacitors C2 and C3 are used for adjustment to make the output signal rise and then flatten.
[0039] Equivalent circuit for microsecond to millisecond signal attenuation, such as Figure 3As shown, the attenuation consists of a high-voltage end resistor Rt′, a parallel capacitor Cp, a ground capacitor Cg, low-voltage compensation end variable capacitors C1-1 to C1-N, fixed resistors R1-1 to R1-N, variable resistors R2-1 to R2-N, and a measuring instrument Cx. The variable capacitors C1-1 to C1-N are used to adjust the voltage division ratio of the square wave signal from microseconds to milliseconds and the flatness of the top of the output signal. The fixed resistors R1-1 to R1-N and the variable resistors R2-1 to R2-N are used to adjust the specific compensation point at the top of the square wave. As the fixed resistors R1-1 to R1-N and the variable resistors R2-1 to R2-N increase, the compensation point changes from the microsecond segment at the top of the pulse signal to the millisecond segment.
[0040] As time progresses from milliseconds to seconds, the decay control changes from a capacitive voltage divider to a resistive voltage divider, and the equivalent current... Figure 4 As shown, the circuit consists of non-inductive resistors Rt′ and Rt″ at the high-voltage end, resistors R4 and R5 at the low-frequency compensation circuit, a variable resistor R6, and a measuring instrument Rx. Resistor R6 is used to adjust the DC voltage division ratio of the voltage divider.
[0041] Due to the critical damping requirements of mismatch reflections and stray oscillations, the physical design of the circuit and the specific values of the components are equally important for the smooth response of the square wave pulse signal between picoseconds, nanoseconds, microseconds, and milliseconds. The values of each resistor and capacitor can vary depending on the physical dimensions of the voltage divider; the specific values need to be determined experimentally.
[0042] Example:
[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the high-voltage input terminal consists of a high-voltage non-inductive resistor Rt′, a non-inductive resistor Rt″, a parallel capacitor Cp, a series ferrite bead Zb, and a high-voltage terminal-to-ground capacitor Cg. The non-inductive resistor Rt′ has a resistance of 1MΩ, Rt″ has a resistance of 99MΩ, and the parallel capacitor Cp has a capacitance of 2pF. The high-voltage terminal-to-ground capacitor Cg has a capacitance of 20pF. The high-voltage non-inductive resistors Rt′ and Rt″ can also be constructed from a single 100MΩ resistor. When using a single resistor, the parallel capacitor Cp is implemented using a parallel plate capacitor structure, and the ground capacitor Cg is implemented through external shielding. Figure 7 As shown; when the high-voltage non-inductive resistors Rt′ and Rt″ consist of multiple components, the parallel capacitor Cp can be implemented by a planar capacitor structure or by multiple capacitors connected in parallel with the resistor, and the ground capacitance Cg is implemented through external shielding, as shown. Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown.
[0044] The coaxial transmission cable uses a DC resistance Rc of 500Ω and a cable capacitance Cc of 300pF.
[0045] The DC conditioning circuit consists of a 100kΩ resistor R5 and a 20kΩ variable resistor R6, used to adjust the DC attenuation ratio to 1000:1. Other attenuation ratios can also be selected according to actual needs.
[0046] The high-frequency conditioning circuit consists of a variable resistor R3 with a resistance of 1kΩ, a capacitor R4 with a resistance of 500Ω, and variable capacitors C2 with a capacitance of 200pF and C3 with a capacitance of 10pF. It is used to condition the attenuation ratio and output flatness of the pulse input signal between nanoseconds and microseconds.
[0047] The low-frequency conditioning circuit consists of fixed resistors R1-1 (300kΩ), R1-2 (50kΩ), variable resistors R2-1 (200kΩ), R2-N (100kΩ), and variable capacitors C1-1 and C1-N (200pF). It is used to condition the attenuation ratio and output flatness of the pulse input signal between microseconds and milliseconds. By adjusting the values of variable resistors R2-1 and R2-2, the specific compensation point of the output signal between microseconds and milliseconds can be finely adjusted.
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
