Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of magnetic field generation, and particularly to a multi-modal array magnetic field generation system and method. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of communication technology and its increasingly widespread application, the demand for signal sources has become more diverse and complex. A signal source, also known as a signal generator, can generate different waveform signals with adjustable frequency, duty cycle, and amplitude, and can be used in a large number of test scenarios that require electromagnetic waves as excitation. It has a wide range of applications in fields such as electronic circuits, scientific experiments, communications, scientific instruments, and automatic control, and is one of the most commonly used and basic electronic instruments. With the improvement of digital integrated circuit and microelectronic manufacturing process levels, DDS technology has the characteristics of high integration, wide frequency synthesis range, high frequency synthesis accuracy, continuous phase during frequency tuning, high spurious suppression ratio, and low phase noise. The generated signal has good stability and high quality. However, most common signal generators are direct current outputs, capable of simple frequency, phase, and amplitude adjustments and having fewer output channels. Since underground target detection includes mineral resource exploration, goaf search, archaeological relic detection, and unexploded ordnance investigation, ordinary signal generators cannot meet the high-precision detection of underground targets and are prone to safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-modal array magnetic field generation system to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the following technical solutions are further adopted:

[0005] A multi-modal array magnetic field generation system includes a single excitation source matrix excitation and a multi-mode magnetic field adaptive direction adjustment mechanism;

[0006] The single excitation source matrix excitation includes an FPGA master control chip, a DDS signal generation module, a PLL clock signal module, and a D / A conversion module. The FPGA master control chip provides signals to the DDS signal generation module and the PLL clock signal module through an external crystal oscillator source. The DDS signal generation module places data of a complete cycle of square wave signals in the ROM memory. The ROM memory uses the phase code input by the phase modulator as the read address, outputs in multiple channels, and reads the data at the corresponding address in a parallel manner for voltage output. The frequency word input and phase word input of the DDS signal generation module are controlled to adjust the frequency and phase of the generated signal. The duty cycle of the signals generated in each path is adjusted by the PLL clock signal module for each signal output channel;

[0007] It is converted into an analog signal through a bipolar high-speed D / A conversion module, and the signal is output in the form of current through a voltage-current conversion circuit, completing a current signal with adjustable frequency, phase, and duty cycle;

[0008] The output analog signal is filtered through a filter circuit. After removing stray noise, it passes through a current amplification circuit, and the amplitude of the output current is adjusted by changing the amplification factor of the circuit. A single-pole double-throw switch is used to change the direction of the current flowing into the coil, completing the output of multi-modal matrix current;

[0009] The multi-mode magnetic field adaptive direction adjustment mechanism includes an array excitation coil on the lower layer and an array Hall magnetosensor on the upper layer. A magnetic field is generated by a single excitation source multi-mode array excitation coil, and the generated magnetic field intensity is detected by the upper-layer array Hall magnetosensor. The data of the array Hall magnetosensor is used to measure the distribution of the regional magnetic field through a filter circuit, and the output current is fed back through a data conditioning circuit. By changing the mode of the output current, the expected generated magnetic field direction is gradually approximated.

[0010] Preferably, the signal output of each path of the DDS signal generation module adopts a serial structure of two PLL chips. One chip generates a clock signal with a specific frequency corresponding to the output of the channel as the reference signal input of the second PLL chip. Four clock signals with different duty cycles are preset inside the second PLL chip, which are 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% respectively. The adjustment of the clock signal with any duty cycle is realized through the combination of clock signals. The PWM modulation signals corresponding to each channel are generated by two PLL chips to adjust the duty cycle of the signals generated by each path of the DDS signal generation module.

[0011] A multi-modal array magnetic field generation method includes the following steps:

[0012] S1: Select the amplitude, phase, frequency, duty cycle, and direction of the output of each channel of the single excitation source matrix current of the array;

[0013] S2: According to the output waveform, the currents I1, I2, I3... of the required waveform are output through a bipolar D / A conversion circuit, and then the current amplitude is adjusted by turning the knob of the amplification circuit. Finally, the output current is used to excite the coil; the output current of each channel can be expressed as:

[0014]

[0015] A represents the amplitude of the excitation current, and f represents the excitation frequency. represents the initial phase of the excitation current, the current period is R, and the duty cycle of the current can be expressed as:

[0016]

[0017] S3: When a bipolar pulse excitation I1 with a period of T is applied to the transmitting coil, a changing primary magnetic field H1 will be generated around the coil. At this time, under the excitation of the alternating current, the magnetic field generated by a certain coil in one cycle is expressed as:

[0018]

[0019] Thus, the magnetic field generated by the matrix coil can be obtained as:

[0020]

[0021] According to the principle of magnetic field vector superposition, the total magnetic field generated by the array coil is:

[0022]

[0023] S4: Make a judgment based on the magnetic field magnitude value detected by the Hall magnetic sensor, and perform feedback adjustment on the current amplitude, frequency, phase, and duty cycle applied to the coil, so that the generated magnetic field gradually approaches the target angle magnetic field.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0025] The present invention is based on an FPGA master control chip combined with a DDS signal generation module and a PLL clock signal module to implement a signal source with multi-channel and multi-mode matrix output, adjust the frequency and phase of the output signal, independently control the duty cycle of each output by controlling two PLL chips to generate PWM waves, design a bipolar high-speed D / A conversion module, and combine a current amplification circuit to achieve amplitude adjustment of the current; design an array coil combined with a Hall magnetic sensor, generate a magnetic field by applying different modes of excitation to the array coil, according to the principle of magnetic field vector superposition, the magnetic field generated by the array coil can be fitted into a complete magnetic field, adjust the mode of a certain coil to change the superposition state of the magnetic field, realize the adjustment of the magnetic field focusing direction, and according to the value of the Hall magnetic sensor at the upper end of the coil, detect the magnetic field direction in real time and compare it with the theoretical value of the target angle according to the sensor data, and dynamically adjust the excitation mode in real time to complete the generation of a multi-mode array magnetic field.
