Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microwave testing, and in particular relates to a system and method for measuring electromagnetic parameters of materials in a strong microwave electric field environment based on parallel strip lines. Background Art

[0002] Typical semiconductor materials, piezoelectric ceramics and other functional ceramic materials have special electrical properties and are widely used in sensors, acoustic wave devices and other fields. The electromagnetic parameters of these materials will change in a strong microwave electric field, which will have a certain impact on the characteristics of the device. On the contrary, this characteristic can also be used to design devices that meet the requirements. Therefore, it is particularly important to measure the electromagnetic parameters of such materials in a strong microwave field environment, and the complex dielectric constant ε r and complex magnetic permeability μ r They are two important parameters that characterize the electromagnetic properties of materials.

[0003] At present, some research has been conducted on the testing of microwave materials in a strong microwave electric field environment. In the Experimental Study on the Width Effect of High-Power Microwave Pulse [J] (Fang Jinyong, Liu Guozhi, Li Ping et al. High Power Laser and Particle Beams, 1999 (05): 639-642), the phenomenon of disturbance of electronic systems after being acted upon by high-power microwaves was explored, and a simulation method of strong microwave electric fields was proposed. In the patent "System and Method for Studying and Testing Microwave Dielectric Properties of Materials in a Strong Electromagnetic Field Environment" with announcement number CN107202922A, a high-power source is not used directly, but a compressed rectangular resonant cavity under a certain power excitation is used to provide a strong electromagnetic field environment at the compression point. By introducing a band-stop filter, the test power signal and the excitation power signal are separated, which reduces the test error to a certain extent, and then the resonance method is used to test the material. However, the above test methods are currently only for electromagnetic parameter testing of materials under strong microwave field loading frequency. Since microwave devices will work under the interference of complex environment of strong microwave electric field, and the working frequency of microwave devices and the interference frequency of strong microwave electric field are often not in the same frequency band, such as strong electromagnetic radiation places such as radio communication base stations and radar stations, it is of great significance to test the electromagnetic parameter test frequency of materials and the strong microwave electric field frequency separately. At present, the test method for separating the test frequency from the strong microwave electric field frequency has not been mentioned. Summary of the invention
