Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-frequency signal transmission in pre-branched cables, and particularly to a method for high-frequency signal transmission in pre-branched cables. Background Art

[0002] A pre-branched cable is a cable system with a pre-designed and installed branching structure, which is used to provide multiple branch points on a cable line in order to supply power or transmit signals to different devices or systems. Such a cable system is usually used in occasions where multiple branch points are required, such as power distribution inside buildings, data centers, communication base stations, etc.

[0003] The high-frequency signals in pre-branched cables refer to electrical signals with relatively high frequencies transmitted in pre-branched cables. These signals may be used in applications such as high-speed data transmission, wireless communication, radar systems, etc. High-frequency signals are prone to being affected by various factors during transmission, such as signal attenuation, reflection, multipath effects, etc. Therefore, special design and optimization methods are required to ensure the stable transmission of signals.

[0004] Generally, traditional cable design and selection will choose a suitable cable type and specification according to application requirements, design branch points on the cable, usually using simple right-angle or arc-shaped branch structures, transmit high-frequency signals through the cable and branch points to the target device, and receive and process the signals at the target device end. However, such traditional right-angle or arc-shaped branch structures are likely to cause modal conversion of the electromagnetic field, resulting in signal distortion and energy loss. The impedance mismatch at the branch point will cause reflected waves, and at the same time, multipath effects will cause signal interference and attenuation. High-frequency signals are prone to being interfered by environmental noise and other signals during transmission, resulting in a decline in signal quality. The traditional design of branch cables lacks a systematic optimization and standardization process, making it difficult to ensure the stability and reliability of signal transmission.

Embodiment

[0193] In practical applications, the actual application process of the high - frequency signal transmission method for the pre - branched cable of the present invention is as follows:

[0194] Design an asymmetric tapered chamfered branch structure: Adopt an asymmetric tapered chamfer geometric design for the branch structure to ensure that the electromagnetic field maintains the TEM mode on the main transmission path, suppress mode conversion, calculate the chamfer curvature radius according to the operating frequency, and optimize the chamfer angle to reduce the reflection coefficient at the branch point. Use HFSS full - wave simulation to verify the convergence of the field distribution and ensure the accuracy of the design.

[0195] Embed a distributed absorbing layer: Cover the surface of the branch - point conductor with a nano - ferrite - graphene composite absorbing layer, actively absorb the energy of high - order modes through magnetoelectric coupling loss, ensure that there are no bubbles between the absorbing layer and the conductor surface, and improve the stability and reliability of the absorbing layer.

[0196] TDR feedback optimization with topological constraints: Measure the reflection peak position and amplitude of the branched cable through a time - domain reflectometer (TDR), use the cross - correlation algorithm to inversely deduce the path - length difference of multipath reflection paths, establish a topological map of the reflection paths, and use the genetic algorithm to iteratively adjust the branch layout to ensure that the branch - point spacing meets specific conditions to disrupt the coherent conditions of the reflected waves and reduce multipath reflection interference.

[0197] Three - dimensional conformal shielding waveguide conversion: Construct a three - dimensional metallized conformal shielding layer on the outer wall of the branch point to form a waveguide - like structure, suppress the propagation of high - order modes, ensure seamless connection between the shielding layer and the main trunk shielding, use the waveguide characteristics to block the near - field coupling between branches, and use laser - induced chemical plating to achieve uniform metallization of complex surfaces to ensure the conductivity and reliability of the shielding layer.

[0198] Joint iterative calibration: Taking chamfer curvature, absorber layer gradient, topological layout, and shielding cut-off frequency as joint variables, a multi-objective optimization function is established by comparing HFSS simulation data with TDR measured data. The covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) is used for iterative optimization until convergence to ensure the optimal overall performance of signal transmission.

[0199] Closed-loop and standardization of the co-design process for high-frequency pre-branched cables: Import the optimization results into the HFSS simulation model, compare with TDR measured data, define the allowable error tolerance to ensure the accuracy and reliability of design parameters. Select characteristic frequencies within the target frequency band, repeat the optimization process to verify the robustness of parameters. Convert the optimized design variables into producible engineering parameters, construct cross-length adaptation rules, and convert the design parameters into production line equipment instructions to ensure the compatibility and efficiency of the production process. Compile a table of parameter coupling relationships between steps, clarify the priority of conflict resolution to ensure seamless connection between design and production. Define the design version number rule and set the revision trigger conditions for local iteration or overall optimization when needed.
