[0002] The increasingly harsh electromagnetic environment created by human activities exposes electronic equipment to high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF) during normal operation. External electromagnetic fields can couple to electronic equipment through cables or directly radiate, posing a risk of failure and impacting the safe operation of electronic equipment. To protect the effective operation of electronic equipment, radiation sensitivity testing in HIRF environments is necessary. For example, electronic equipment can be aircraft, aircraft, ships, etc.
[0003] Taking aircraft as an example, due to the high electric field strength in HIRF environments, testing is difficult. Currently, a low-level sweep method is used to obtain the transfer function of the entire aircraft in HIRF environments. Low-level sweep methods are categorized into low-level swept current, low-level swept field, and low-level direct drive, depending on the test frequency band.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0066] Electronic equipment is exposed to HIRF radiation during normal operation. External electromagnetic fields can couple to cables or radiate directly onto electronic equipment, posing a risk of failure. For example, during normal aircraft operation, especially during takeoff and landing, external electromagnetic fields can couple to cables or radiate directly onto aircraft electronic equipment, posing a risk of failure and potentially impacting aircraft safety. In 2006, the Civil Aviation Administration of my country issued regulation AC-21-1317, "Aircraft High-Intensity Radiated Field (HIRF) Protection Requirements," clarifying that HIRF testing is a necessary part of aircraft airworthiness compliance certification. To protect aircraft electronic equipment, radiation sensitivity testing in HIRF environments is required.
[0067] Due to the high electric field intensity and high power in the HIRF environment, the current high-level radiation sensitivity tests include the reverberation chamber method and the outdoor high-power direct irradiation method. The reverberation chamber is a closed cavity composed of well-conductive walls and equipped with a stirrer. It has the characteristics of generating high field strength with low power and statistically uniform field strength. However, the operating frequency of the reverberation chamber is related to its size. Due to the limited size, it is difficult to conduct low-frequency (below 100MHz) radiation sensitivity tests, and it is impossible to carry out full-aircraft-level tests. The outdoor high-power direct irradiation method uses a power amplifier to amplify the output signal of the signal source and directly irradiate the test object through an antenna. This method is simple and direct, but it has high requirements for the power amplifier, high test costs, inconvenient transportation, and serious electromagnetic pollution. Therefore, this application conducts radiation sensitivity tests based on low levels.
[0068] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a first structural diagram of a low-level swept current test system in one embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the low-level swept current test system 100 includes a computer device 11, a signal analyzer 12 and a transceiver device 13; the signal analyzer 12 is connected to the computer device 11 and the transceiver device 13 respectively; the signal analyzer 12 is used to send a low-level swept frequency signal to the transceiver device 13 based on multiple output frequency points under the control of the computer device 11; the transceiver device 13 is used to radiate electromagnetic waves based on the low-level swept frequency signal, and detect the induced current of the cable 21 in the electronic device 200 under test under the electromagnetic wave to obtain multiple target current signals; the signal analyzer 12 is also used to automatically follow the output frequency points to receive multiple target current signals; the computer device 11 is used to obtain the target current signal and determine the target transfer function value of the cable based on the target current signal.
[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the computer device 11 is communicatively connected to the signal analyzer 12 , the signal analyzer 12 is connected to the transceiver device 13 , and the transceiver device 13 is connected to the cable 21 in the electronic device 200 under test.
[0070] The purpose of the low-level swept current test is to determine the transfer function relationship between the external radiated field and the induced current in the cable of the electronic device under test. Under the control of a computer, signal analyzer 12 sweeps its output port to output low-level swept-frequency signals at multiple output frequencies. Transceiver 13 radiates electromagnetic waves based on the low-level swept-frequency signals and detects the induced current in cable 21 of electronic device under test 200 under these electromagnetic waves, generating multiple target current signals. Computer 11 then determines the target transfer function value for cable 21 at each output frequency based on the target current signals and a pre-calibrated calibration electric field signal.
[0071] Optionally, signal analyzer 12 can be a vector network analyzer. Signal analyzer 12 comprises two modules: a signal source and a receiver. The signal source and receiver share the same frequency range, typically covering 100 kHz to 18 GHz. During the receiver's frequency sweep test, a phase-locked loop (PLL) ensures frequency synchronization with the signal source. Optionally, the signal source can output both point-frequency and sweep-frequency low-level sweep signals, with an output amplitude of -60 dBm to 10 dBm. The receiver typically uses a tuned receiver to achieve good test sensitivity and dynamic range, and also includes signal analysis windowing and time-domain gating capabilities.
[0072] Optionally, the multiple output frequency points can be multiple independent output frequencies or frequency intervals. In existing tests based on signal sources and spectrum analyzers, the signal source can only output a single frequency point, and the computer device can only control the signal source output frequency point and then control the spectrum analyzer to receive the same frequency point. The computer device then controls the signal source to switch to the next output frequency point to achieve the purpose of frequency sweeping. During the frequency sweeping process, each frequency point requires programming of two instruments (signal source and spectrum analyzer), and then switching to the next frequency point after waiting for the two instruments to respond, resulting in low test efficiency. The output and reception of the signal analyzer of the present application are integrated into one machine, which does not require repeated programming, has a fast frequency sweeping speed, high test efficiency, and a short residence time for each output frequency point, thereby reducing spatial electromagnetic pollution.
[0073] Since the output and reception of the signal analyzer 12 of the present application are integrated, and the output circuit and the receiving circuit share a common ground, the anti-electromagnetic interference performance can be improved, and the measurement results can be prevented from being affected by the radiation interference of the transmitting antenna under unshielded external field conditions.
[0074] Optionally, the transceiver device 13 may be a transmitting antenna and a current clamp, the transmitting antenna radiates electromagnetic waves based on a low-level sweep frequency signal, the current clamp detects the induced current of the electronic device under test under electromagnetic wave radiation, and sends the induced current signal to the signal analyzer 12.
[0075] Optionally, the electronic device under test 200 may be a large device such as an aircraft, a car, or a ship, or a small device such as a mobile phone. That is, the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the electronic device under test 200.
[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, a low-level swept current test system includes a computer device, a signal analyzer, and a transceiver device; the signal analyzer is connected to the computer device and the transceiver device respectively; the signal analyzer is used to send a low-level swept frequency signal to the transceiver device based on multiple output frequency points under the control of the computer device; the transceiver device is used to radiate electromagnetic waves based on the low-level swept frequency signal and detect the induced current of the cable in the electronic device under test under the electromagnetic wave to obtain multiple target current signals; the signal analyzer is also used to automatically follow the output frequency point to receive multiple target current signals; the computer device is used to obtain the target current signal and determine the target transfer function value of the cable based on the target current signal. Since the existing signal source and spectrum analyzer are two independent devices, it is necessary to control the signal source to output a certain frequency point signal and set the spectrum analyzer to receive the same frequency point signal at the same time, and it is inevitable that there will be frequency deviation errors between the two devices. In the embodiment of the present application, a signal analyzer is used to send a low-level sweep frequency signal and receive a target current signal. The output and received signals in the signal analyzer are synchronized through a phase-locked loop, and the target current signal is automatically received following the output frequency. When the computer equipment is controlled, only multiple output frequencies need to be set to automatically complete the test, which can avoid frequency deviation errors in the output frequency and the receiving frequency. There is no need to control two instruments for each frequency point, and wait for the two instruments to switch and respond before switching to the next frequency point, thereby improving test efficiency.
[0077] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a second structural diagram of a low-level swept current test system in one embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the transceiver device 13 includes a transmitting antenna 131 and a current clamp 132, and the current clamp 132 is connected to the cable 21; the transmitting antenna 131 is used to radiate electromagnetic waves based on a low-level sweep frequency signal; the current clamp 132 is used to detect the induced current of the cable 21 under the electromagnetic wave to obtain multiple target current signals; the electromagnetic waves include electromagnetic waves radiated by the transmitting antenna 131 at multiple radiation angles in each polarization direction.
[0078] Transmitting antenna 131 is used to convert a low-level swept-frequency signal into an electric field signal, radiating electromagnetic waves. Current caliper 132 is a coupling device that proportionally converts the current flowing through cable 21 into a voltage. Essentially, it is a broadband transformer with a toroidal core, typically made of ferrite. It is used to measure the induced current in the cables within the electronic device under test 200. Current caliper 132 has a frequency range of 10 kHz to 400 MHz and a flat frequency response within its passband.
[0079] Optionally, the transmitting antenna 131 may include a low-frequency transmitting antenna and a high-frequency transmitting antenna. The low-frequency transmitting antenna has a frequency range of 500 kHz to 30 MHz. Due to the long wavelength and large size of the low-frequency transmitting antenna, the low-frequency transmitting antenna can be divided into vertically polarized antennas (monopole antennas) and horizontally polarized antennas (dipole antennas). A matching balun is used to ensure that the low-frequency transmitting antenna transmits at maximum efficiency. The high-frequency transmitting antenna has a frequency range of 30 MHz to 1 GHz.
[0080] Move the electronic device under test 200 into the designated test area. Clamp the cable 21 with the current clamp 132 (5 cm from the port of the electronic device under test 200). The output port of the current clamp 132 can be connected to the signal analyzer 12 via an RF cable. The position and height of the transmitting antenna 131 are consistent with those used during the electric field calibration. The signal analyzer 12 outputs the same electric field strength as during the electric field calibration, sweeping the output at the same output frequency and power. The current clamp 132 is used to obtain the induced current in the cable 21 to obtain the induced current spectrum curve corresponding to the target current signal.
[0081] The polarization direction of the transmitting antenna 131 is changed, the frequency is scanned again, and the induced current of the cable under two polarization directions is obtained. The induced current of the two polarizations is measured for all cables 21.
[0082] Optionally, the output port of the current clamp 132 is connected to the transmitting end of the optical fiber transmission device 15 through a radio frequency line that is as short as possible. The optical fiber transmission device 15 is adjusted to a suitable gain to ensure measurement accuracy while also ensuring that the target current signal input to the signal analyzer 12 is not too large to damage the signal analyzer.
[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, considering that the high-intensity radiation field HIRF environment to which the electronic device under test 200 is subjected during application is irradiated in more than one direction, it is necessary to perform irradiation tests at multiple radiation angles, rotate the electronic device under test 200 or move the position of the transmitting antenna 131, irradiate the electronic device under test 200 at multiple angles, obtain the induced current of the cable at multiple radiation angles, and obtain multiple target current signals. The target current signal includes current signals in multiple polarization directions and multiple radiation angles.
[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the transmitting antenna is used to radiate electromagnetic waves based on a low-level sweep frequency signal, and the current caliper is used to detect the induced current of the cable under the electromagnetic wave to obtain multiple target current signals, laying the foundation for subsequently determining the target transfer function value based on the induced current test curve corresponding to the target current signal.
[0085] Figure 3 FIG. 3 is a third structural diagram of a low-level swept current test system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3As shown, the transceiver device 13 also includes a receiving antenna 133; the receiving antenna 133 is used to receive electromagnetic waves to obtain an initial electric field signal, and send the initial electric field signal to the signal analyzer; the initial electric field signal is used to calibrate the electric field at each test position in the test area to obtain a calibration electric field signal, and the calibration electric field signal is used to determine the target transfer function value of the cable with the target current signal.
[0086] When performing a low-level swept current test, a uniform low-intensity electric field is first generated using a signal analyzer 12 in the test area where the electronic device under test 200 is pre-placed. The electric field strength at each test location is measured using a receiving antenna 133 to calibrate the electric field in the test area. The electronic device under test 200 is then moved to a designated test location where the electric field has been calibrated. The same electric field used during the calibration is applied, and the induced current in the cables within the electronic device under test is measured to obtain the target transfer function value of the cables. Therefore, after determining the test area where the electronic device under test 200 is pre-placed, the transmitting antenna 131 is raised to the center height of the electronic device under test 200. The transmitting antenna 131 is then moved sufficiently far away from the test area. The receiving antenna 133 is then placed in the center of the test area and raised to the same height as the transmitting antenna 131. The receiving antenna 133 is then connected to the signal analyzer 12 via a RF cable that is as short as possible. Optionally, the distance is at least 1.5 times the length of the electronic device 200 under test. This distance places the test area in the far field of the transmitting antenna 131, ensuring that when the transmitting antenna 131 transmits electromagnetic waves, the first electric field strength of each test position point in the test area differs by no more than 6dB, indicating that the electric field calibration is completed.
[0087] Among them, the receiving antenna 133 is used to receive electromagnetic waves and convert the electromagnetic waves into initial electric field signals; optionally, the receiving antenna 133 includes a low-frequency receiving antenna and a high-frequency receiving antenna, the low-frequency receiving antenna adopts an active biconical antenna, and the high-frequency receiving antenna adopts a passive biconical antenna. The frequency range of the low-frequency receiving antenna and the high-frequency receiving antenna covers 500kHz~400MHz, the size is as small as possible, and horizontal polarization and vertical polarization can be switched.
[0088] In one embodiment, a computer device is used to determine the multipath reflection result of the test area and the first electric field strength of each test position based on the electric field strength spectrum curve corresponding to the initial electric field signal of each test position, and to use any initial electric field signal as a calibration electric field signal when the multipath reflection result indicates that there is no multipath reflection phenomenon in the test area and the difference in the first electric field strength of each test position is less than a preset strength difference.
[0089] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4This is a flow chart of a low-level swept current testing method in one embodiment. The polarization directions of the receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna are set. A computer device controls a signal analyzer to output a swept frequency test at multiple output frequency points to obtain an electric field strength spectrum curve at the current position. The position and height of the receiving antenna are changed, and the swept frequency test is continued to obtain electric field strength spectrum curves at the center and edge positions of the test area.
[0090] Then, the polarization directions of the receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna are changed to obtain the electric field intensity spectrum curve at each test position, so as to obtain the electric field intensity spectrum curve at each test position under different polarization directions.
[0091] Compare the electric field intensity spectrum curves at each test location. If the electric field intensity spectrum curve fluctuates and the frequencies of the peaks and troughs at each test location are inconsistent, multipath reflection is present. If there are no frequency inconsistencies and / or fluctuations, multipath reflection is not present.
[0092] Directly based on the initial electric field strength spectrum curve, the first electric field strength of each test position is obtained. If the difference between the first electric field strengths is less than the preset strength, it proves that the electric field in the test area is uniform. Any initial electric field signal is used as a calibration electric field signal, that is, any initial electric field signal is a calibration electric field strength.
[0093] Furthermore, if the difference between the first electric field strengths is not less than the preset strength, it is necessary to inspect the test site conditions and the test system in the test area, and then obtain the electric field strength spectrum curve of each test position under each polarization direction.
[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, a computer device is used to determine the multipath reflection result of the test area and the first electric field strength of each test position based on the initial electric field strength spectrum curve of each test position, and when the multipath reflection result indicates that there is no multipath reflection phenomenon in the test area and the difference in the first electric field strength of each test position is less than a preset strength difference, any initial electric field signal is used as a calibration electric field signal, thereby laying a foundation for subsequent low-level swept current testing of the electronic device under test based on the electric field strength spectrum curve corresponding to the calibration electric field signal, thereby improving the accuracy of the low-level swept current test.
[0095] In one embodiment, a computer device is used to determine a time domain gate start time and a time domain gate end time of a signal analyzer based on a first time when a direct wave of an electromagnetic wave reaches the signal analyzer and a second time when a reflected wave of the electromagnetic wave reaches the signal analyzer when a multipath reflection phenomenon exists in a test area characterized by a multipath reflection junction; the first time and the second time are determined by the signal analyzer based on an initial electric field signal and sent to the computer device; the signal analyzer is used to filter the electric field signal corresponding to the reflected wave in each initial electric field signal based on the time domain gate start time and the time domain gate end time to obtain each intermediate electric field signal; the computer device is used to determine a second electric field strength of each test position based on an electric field strength spectrum curve corresponding to each intermediate electric field signal, and when a difference between the second electric field strengths is less than a preset strength difference, use any intermediate electric field signal as a calibration electric field signal.
[0096] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when performing low-level swept current testing, the test area is typically selected in an area free of reflective objects such as large buildings and trees. However, in actual testing, due to the placement and ease of use of the electronic equipment under test, some reflective objects are unavoidable, and ground reflections are always present and cannot be eliminated. Therefore, when performing electric field calibration, if the path difference between the direct path and the reflected path is greater than the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, multipath effects will occur, affecting the electric field calibration results. Therefore, when the antenna height is high, the test distance must be very long, or additional methods must be used to eliminate multipath effects.
[0097] When the phase difference between the reflected wave and the direct wave in the electromagnetic wave is 180°, the measured electric field is minimum, and a trough phenomenon is shown in the spectrum curve. Figure 7 This is an electric field intensity spectrum curve under 1MHz~30MHz vertical polarization in a low-level sweep current test in one embodiment. Due to the presence of nearby factory buildings, the electric field intensity spectrum curve fluctuates, that is, Figure 5 The electric field intensity spectrum curve under the corresponding test environment. Figure 8 The electric field intensity spectrum curve under horizontal polarization from 30MHz to 400MHz in a low-level swept current test in one embodiment is shown. Due to the high height and short distance between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna, the path difference between the ground reflected wave and the direct wave is large. The trough frequency point of the superposition falls within the test frequency band, resulting in a trough phenomenon, i.e. Figure 6 The electric field intensity spectrum curve under the corresponding test environment.
[0098] Time domain gate technology is a function that mathematically eliminates unnecessary responses in the time domain. This function performs time domain transformation, selects an area within the time domain, deletes responses outside the area, and then transforms back to the frequency domain after deletion. The signal analyzer has a time domain mode measurement function. In the time domain mode measurement, since the reflected wave and the direct wave take different paths and have different distances, there is a time delay in reaching the receiving port of the signal analyzer. You can clearly see the first time the direct wave arrives and the second time the reflected wave arrives. Set the appropriate time domain gate start time and time domain gate end time according to the first time and the second time. Open the time domain gate according to the time domain gate start time and the time domain gate end time to eliminate the reflected wave and allow only the direct wave to pass. The electric field intensity spectrum curve obtained by opening the time domain gate is the electric field intensity spectrum curve of the direct wave. For example Figure 9 Schematic diagram of a test area in one embodiment.
[0099] The initial electric field signal received by the signal analyzer can obtain the vector intensity of each output frequency point within the entire frequency band. If there are multiple signals of direct waves and reflected waves in the test frequency band, the electric field intensity spectrum curve corresponding to the initial electric field signal is the result of the combined effect of multiple signals, and it is impossible to distinguish between direct waves and reflected waves. The electric field intensity spectrum curve corresponding to the initial electric field signal is subjected to inverse Fourier transform to the time domain. Several peak signals can be clearly seen in the time domain. Usually, the first peak has the largest amplitude, which is the direct wave. The subsequent peaks are reflected waves, and the peaks are lower than the direct wave amplitude, such as Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 It is a time domain signal diagram of the direct wave and the reflected wave in one embodiment. This is because the direct wave has the shortest path and arrives the fastest, and is displayed as the first peak in the time domain mode. The reflected wave has a longer path than the direct wave and arrives later than the direct wave, and is displayed as a subsequent peak. In addition, due to spatial attenuation and the medium of the reflective material, the amplitude of the subsequent peak will be lower than the peak of the direct wave. Therefore, in the time domain, the direct wave and the reflected wave can be clearly distinguished. In order to achieve the purpose of filtering out the reflected wave, a "gate" is added to the time domain mode of the signal analyzer to allow the electric field signal corresponding to the direct wave to pass through and the electric field signal corresponding to the reflected wave to be filtered out, similar to a bandpass filter, which only allows the specified signal to pass through. In mathematical calculations, the time domain signal can be multiplied by a "gate" function. After opening the time domain gate, Fourier transform is performed to the frequency domain to obtain a spectrum curve with only the direct wave signal. Figure 11 This is the electric field intensity spectrum curve when the time domain gate mode is not turned on (the electric field intensity spectrum curve corresponding to the initial electric field signal). Figure 12 This is the electric field intensity spectrum curve with the time domain gate mode turned on (the electric field intensity spectrum curve corresponding to the intermediate electric field signal). It can be seen that the electric field intensity spectrum curve has become smooth without fluctuation, and the reflected waves in the electromagnetic waves have been filtered out.
[0100] Specifically, the time domain gate parameters only need to set the time domain gate start time and the time domain gate end time. Assuming that in the time domain mode, the first time when the direct wave arrives is T0 and the second time when the reflected wave arrives is T1, then the time domain gate start time T begin and the time domain gate end time T end The calculation is as follows:
[0101] ;
[0102] ;
[0103] Furthermore, the computer device is used to determine the second electric field strength of each test position based on the electric field strength spectrum curve corresponding to the intermediate electric field signal. If the difference between the second electric field strengths is less than the preset strength, any intermediate electric field signal is used as the calibration electric field signal, that is, the electric field strength corresponding to any intermediate electric field signal is used as the calibration electric field strength.
[0104] It should be noted that during the low-level swept current test, the cable is measured inside the electronic device under test. The interior of the electronic device under test is a reverberant environment, and the internal electric field itself is obtained after multiple reflections in the cavity. The cable coupling current is also the result of the combined action of multiple signals. There is no need to open the time domain gate to eliminate the reflected wave. A normal swept frequency test can be used to obtain the induced current test curve.
[0105] In an embodiment of the present application, a computer device is used to determine the time domain gate start time and the time domain gate end time of the signal analyzer according to the first time when the direct wave of the electromagnetic wave arrives at the signal analyzer and the second time when the reflected wave of the electromagnetic wave arrives at the signal analyzer when a multipath reflection phenomenon exists in the multipath reflection junction characterization test area; the signal analyzer is used to filter the electric field signals corresponding to the reflected waves in each initial electric field signal according to the time domain gate start time and the time domain gate end time to obtain each intermediate electric field signal; the computer device is used to determine the second electric field intensity of each test position based on the electric field intensity spectrum curve corresponding to each intermediate electric field signal, and when the difference between the second electric field intensities is less than a preset intensity difference, any intermediate electric field signal is used as a calibration electric field signal. In an embodiment of the present application, the arrival time of the direct wave and the reflected wave is obtained by using the signal analyzer to obtain the time domain gate start time and the time domain gate end time, which can eliminate the superposition effect of various reflected waves during electric field calibration, reduce the influence of the surrounding environment of the test area on the test results, and improve the accuracy of the electric field calibration.
[0106] In one embodiment, a computer device is used to obtain, for each polarization direction, a maximum induced current at the same output frequency based on induced current test curves corresponding to multiple target current signals, and determine, based on the maximum induced current and a third electric field strength at the same output frequency, an initial transfer function value corresponding to each output frequency under the same polarization direction; and use the maximum value of each initial transfer function value under different polarization directions as the target transfer function value of the cable at each output frequency; wherein the third electric field strength is determined based on an electric field strength spectrum curve corresponding to a calibration electric field signal.
[0107] In this embodiment of the present application, the induced current test curve is a curve with frequency on the horizontal axis and current amplitude on the vertical axis. Based on the induced current test curves at multiple radiation angles under the same polarization direction, the maximum induced current corresponding to each output frequency can be obtained. The sum of the electric field intensity spectrum curve corresponding to the calibration electric field signal is a curve with frequency on the horizontal axis and electric field intensity amplitude on the vertical axis. Based on the electric field intensity spectrum curve corresponding to the calibration electric field signal, the third electric field intensity at each output frequency can be obtained.
[0108] Due to the radiation in multiple polarization directions and multiple angles, a cable has multiple groups of induced currents, that is, target current signals of multiple radiation angles under multiple polarization directions are obtained. First, for each output frequency point under each polarization direction, the ratio of the maximum induced current to the third electric field strength is used as the initial transfer function value of the output frequency point under the same polarization direction. For example, the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna include two polarization directions, horizontal polarization and vertical polarization, then for each output frequency point, two initial transfer function values will be obtained. Furthermore, the maximum transfer function value is obtained from the two initial transfer function values as the target transfer function value at the output frequency point, thereby obtaining the target transfer function value of each cable at each output frequency point. Target transfer function value F use It can be expressed in the following ways:
[0109]
[0110] Among them, E H is the third electric field strength under polarization direction H, E V is the third electric field strength under polarization direction V, n is the number of radiation angles, and I is the induced current under each radiation angle.
[0111] In an embodiment of the present application, the maximum induced current at the same output frequency is obtained based on the induced current test curves corresponding to multiple target current signals; the initial transfer function value corresponding to each output frequency under the same polarization direction is determined based on the maximum induced current and the third electric field strength at the same output frequency; the maximum value of each initial transfer function value under different polarization directions is used as the target transfer function value of the cable at each output frequency. In the embodiment of the present application, the induced current test curves of multiple radiation angles are first processed to obtain the initial transfer function value, and then the initial transfer function values of different polarization directions are processed to obtain the target transfer function value, so that the obtained target transfer function value can cope with the most severe radiation environment, thereby improving the reliability of the low-level swept current test.
[0112] Continue as above Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the low-level swept current test system also includes a power amplifier 14; the power amplifier 14 is connected to the signal analyzer 12 and the transmitting antenna 131; the power amplifier 14 is used to amplify the low-level swept frequency signal output by the signal analyzer 11 and send the amplified low-level swept frequency signal to the transmitting antenna 131.
[0113] In this embodiment of the present application, the input end of the power amplifier 14 is connected to the signal analyzer 12, and the output end is connected to the transmitting antenna 131. The power amplifier 14 is used to amplify the amplitude of the low-level swept-frequency signal output by the signal analyzer 12 and send the amplified low-level swept-frequency signal to the transmitting antenna 131.
[0114] Optionally, the power amplifier 14 may be a broadband radio frequency power amplifier. For example, the power amplifier 14 may have a gain of 50 dB, a maximum input of 0 dBm, and a frequency range of 10 kHz to 400 MHz.
[0115] In an embodiment of the present application, a power amplifier is used to amplify the low-level swept-frequency signal output by the signal analyzer and send the amplified low-level swept-frequency signal to the transmitting antenna, thereby avoiding the situation where the transmitting antenna cannot detect the low-level swept-frequency signal output by the signal analyzer when the amplitude is small, thereby ensuring the reliability of the low-level swept current test.
[0116] Continue as above Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the low-level swept current test system also includes an optical fiber transmission device 15, which includes an optical fiber transmitting end 151 and an optical fiber receiving end 152. The optical fiber transmitting end 151 is connected to the receiving antenna 133 or the current clamp 132, and the optical fiber receiving end 152 is connected to the signal analyzer 12; the optical fiber transmitting end 151 is used to convert the target current signal sent by the current clamp 132 and the initial electric field signal sent by the receiving antenna 133 into an optical signal; the optical fiber receiving end 152 is used to convert the optical signal into an electrical signal and send it to the signal analyzer 12, so as to send the target current signal and the initial electric field signal to the signal analyzer 12.
[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, the optical fiber transmission device 15 includes an optical fiber transmitting end 151 and an optical fiber receiving end 152. When performing electric field calibration, as described above, Figure 3 As shown, the optical fiber transmitting end 151 converts the initial electric field signal generated by the receiving antenna into an optical signal and transmits it using an optical fiber. The optical fiber receiving end 152 converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the signal analyzer 12.
[0118] When performing a low level sweep current test, as described above Figure 2 As shown, the current clamp 132 detects the induced current of the cable 21 to obtain a target current signal, the optical fiber transmitting end 151 converts the target current signal into an optical signal, transmits it using optical fiber, and the optical fiber receiving end 152 converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the signal analyzer 12.
[0119] Optionally, the optical fiber transmission device 15 has a frequency response of 50 Hz to 1.5 GHz, a gain range of -60 dB to +55 dB, and a dynamic range of 150 dB at a 1 Hz bandwidth.
[0120] In an embodiment of the present application, a fiber optic transmission device includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is used to convert the target current signal transmitted by the current caliper and the initial electric field signal transmitted by the receiving antenna into an optical signal. The receiver is used to convert the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmit it to a signal analyzer, thereby transmitting the target current signal and the initial electric field signal to the signal analyzer. In this embodiment of the present application, the fiber optic transmission device is used for signal transmission. The fiber optic transmission signal has strong anti-interference capabilities and low insertion loss, making it suitable for long-distance signal transmission in large test sites.
[0121] In one embodiment, the electronic device under test includes multiple cables, the transceiver device includes multiple current calipers, and the cables and current calipers are connected one-to-one; the optical fiber transmitting end includes multiple input channels, the multiple input channels are connected to corresponding current calipers, and the optical fiber receiving end is connected to a computer device; the computer device is also used to determine the target current caliper from the multiple current calipers by controlling the optical fiber receiving end to switch the input channels.
[0122] In this embodiment of the present application, the transmitter includes multiple input channels, i.e., the optical fiber transmitter has multiple electrical inputs and one optical output, with the input channels, cables, and current clamps connected in a one-to-one correspondence. A computer device is communicatively connected to the optical fiber receiver, and software controls the optical fiber receiver to select a target input channel, determine a target current clamp from among multiple current clamps, and determine a target cable from among multiple cables.
[0123] In an embodiment of the present application, the computer device is also used to switch the input channel through the optical fiber receiving end, determine the target current clamp from multiple current clamps, and determine the target cable from multiple cables. When the electronic device under test includes multiple cables, there is no need to frequently connect the current clamps and cables, which improves the efficiency of low-level swept current testing.
[0124] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 13 As shown, a low-level sweep current test method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The computer device in the example is used to illustrate, and the following steps are included: S301, controlling the signal analyzer to send a low-level swept frequency signal to the transceiver device based on multiple output frequency points; S302, receiving multiple target current signals sent by the signal analyzer, and determining the target transfer function value of the cable in the electronic device under test according to the multiple target current signals; wherein the multiple target current signals are electromagnetic waves radiated by the transceiver device based on the low-level swept frequency signal, and the induced current signals of the cable under the electromagnetic wave are detected, and the signal analyzer automatically receives them from the transceiver device following the output frequency points.
[0125] Since the existing signal source and spectrum analyzer are two independent devices, it is necessary to control the signal source to output a certain frequency signal and set the spectrum analyzer to receive the same frequency signal at the same time. In addition, there will inevitably be frequency deviation errors between the two devices. In the embodiment of the present application, a signal analyzer is used to send a low-level sweep signal and receive a target current signal. The output and received signals in the signal analyzer are synchronized through a phase-locked loop, and the target current signal is automatically received following the output frequency. When the computer device is controlled, only multiple output frequencies need to be set to automatically complete the test. This can avoid frequency deviation errors in the output and receiving frequencies, and there is no need to control two instruments for each frequency point, waiting for the two instruments to switch and respond before switching to the next frequency point, thereby improving test efficiency.
