DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The embodiment of the present application solves the technical problem that the analog correlation circuit of the existing aperture synthesis radiometer receiver cannot take into account both broadband high gain and linearity by providing an analog correlation circuit of the aperture synthesis radiometer receiver, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of the aperture synthesis radiometer receiver.

[0019] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows: The target radiation brightness temperature is a weak signal. To achieve high-performance detection, the receiver of the synthetic aperture radiometer not only needs to implement broadband analog correlation processing, but also needs to perform high-quality low-noise high-gain amplification and filtering on the millivolt voltage signal output by the correlation processing. The typical amplification factor of the correlation processing link is usually one thousand times, which requires the analog correlation circuit to have excellent linearity, extremely low gain drift, extremely high temperature stability and working stability while working at broadband high gain. The existing technology cannot meet the above needs at the same time. In order to make up for this gap, the embodiment of the present invention provides a broadband low-noise, high-linearity analog correlation circuit. The designed high-stability power supply reference unit provides extremely low temperature drift and extremely high temperature stability reference voltage for the high-performance broadband multiplication unit, the low-noise amplification unit and the high-linearity differential active filter unit; the designed high-performance broadband multiplication unit converts the input two-way pre-stage signal into two pairs of differential signals (each pre-stage signal becomes a pair of differential signals) through a broadband unbalanced-balanced conversion circuit, and sends them to the broadband analog multiplier to implement correlation processing, so as to obtain a DC signal proportional to the target radiation intensity, and the maximum working bandwidth can support more than two gigahertz. The designed low-noise amplifier unit is used to perform low-noise and high-gain amplification on the filtered signal after correlation processing. The maximum gain of the low-noise DC amplifier circuit can reach 2000 times, and the noise level introduced by the circuit itself is less than 1mV. It has extremely low gain drift, extremely high linearity and temperature stability. The designed high-linearity differential active filter unit is realized by a second-order differential active filter composed of two differential active filters connected in series. The low-pass filter with the lowest possible cutoff frequency filters out the noise in the link to the maximum extent, and only retains the bandwidth that matches the signal change. The differential output can provide twice the amplitude of the single-ended signal, as well as better linearity and signal-to-noise ratio performance.

If it is not zero output, adjust the termination and the broadband analog multiplier port. and The precision resistor network corrects the output imbalance of the broadband analog multiplier itself and improves the accuracy of the output voltage of the multiplication-related operation.

The high-precision, high-stability reference voltage with buffer isolation generated by a high-stable power supply reference unit is used to effectively ensure the stability of the output voltage under high gain conditions. The input end of the precision instrument amplifier N7 with rail-to-rail output is connected to the output end of the passive differential LC filter, and the output end of the precision instrument amplifier N7 with rail-to-rail output is connected to the post-stage high-linearity differential active filter unit.

In an embodiment of the present invention, R11 and R13 are preferably 0.2KΩ, and R12 and R14 are preferably 24KΩ.

[0031] The input voltage range of the low noise amplifier unit is -10mV to 0mV, and the noise level introduced by the low noise amplifier unit itself is below 1mV.

[0032] High linearity differential active filter unit: The second-order differential active filter N8 and N9 are composed of two stages of low offset and high stability operational amplifiers connected in series. The input end of the first-stage differential active filter N8 is connected to the output end of the previous-stage low-noise amplifier unit, and the output end of the first-stage differential active filter N8 is connected to the input end of the second-stage differential active filter N9. The parameters of the two-stage differential active filters are consistent. The signal after two filtering and conditioning is sent to the signal processing system from the output end of the second-stage differential active filter to achieve maximum filtering of the noise in the link, retaining only the bandwidth that matches the amplitude variation range of the target radiation brightness temperature signal, and further amplifying the amplitude to meet the subsequent analog-to-digital conversion requirements.

In addition, the value of capacitor C12 is determined by the integration time of the radiometer receiver, and the integration time τ = RC, the unit is ms.

[0034] From the above description, it can be seen that the high linearity differential active filter unit adopts a differential active filter design, which can provide twice the amplitude of the single-ended signal under the same power supply voltage, as well as better linearity and signal-to-noise ratio performance. At the same time, the differential active filter has an extremely high common-mode rejection ratio, which can provide good suppression for the gain drift and common-mode interference caused by the high-gain pre-amplifier. In conjunction with the buffered high-precision and high-stable reference voltage provided by the connected high-stable power supply reference unit, the linearity of the link is further improved and the gain drift is reduced.
