Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention is applicable to the field of radio frequency optimization technology, and particularly relates to an optimization method, system and storage medium for a microstrip converter and an interface. Background Art
[0002] Coaxial-microstrip converters are extremely important passive devices in radar system equipment, guidance systems, and microwave test systems. They are used to achieve signal conversion between coaxial cables and microstrips to meet the requirements of different microwave systems. The SMA (Sub Miniature version A) connector is a commonly used radio frequency coaxial converter with a small size and an impedance characteristic of 50Ω. The outer conductor inner diameter of the standard SMA connector is 4.13mm, and the inner conductor outer diameter is 1.27mm. Due to its small size and good electrical performance, the SMA connector has been widely used in the microwave frequency range. In the frequency band exceeding the operating frequency of the SMA connector, high-order modes may be generated inside the coaxial connector, resulting in resonance peaks and affecting the performance of the adapter. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to improve the converter structure, such as adding a transition stage between the SMA connector and the microstrip to suppress the resonance peaks generated by high-order modes. Using SMA connectors instead of other connectors with superior performance but high prices can effectively reduce production costs.
[0003] In the process of designing the SMA connector and microstrip interface converter, existing design methods usually rely on experience and known physical principles. In some cases, existing methods may not require complex computing resources and may be more cost-effective. For parameters and designs that have been fully understood and tested, traditional methods can provide stable performance. However, the defects of this design method are also very prominent. The accumulation of experience comes from multiple iterations and experiments to optimize the design, which may lead to a long design cycle, making it difficult for existing methods to find the global optimal solution. In complex multi-parameter optimization problems, existing methods largely rely on the experience and intuition of designers, which may lead to poor design consistency and repeatability.

[0040] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a flowchart of the steps of the optimization method for microstrip converters and interfaces provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The optimization method for microstrip converters and interfaces includes the following steps:
[0042] S101. Obtain the structural parameters of the microstrip converter and the interface connected thereto.
[0043] Specifically, the structures of the microstrip converter and the interface connected thereto in the embodiments of the present invention are as Figure 2 shown. At this time, the microstrip converter and the interface are regarded as a whole. The embodiments of the present invention analyze and optimize the radio frequency performance exhibited by this whole. Among them, in particular, the embodiments of the present invention perform parametric analysis on the parameters that have the greatest impact on the radio frequency performance in the structure, and use them as basic parameters for subsequent optimization processes. The structural parameters include at least one of the dielectric thickness (Hs), microstrip line width (WI), and coaxial inner core access point (LI) of the microstrip converter, and at least one of the coaxial inner core diameter (Di) and coaxial outer diameter (Do) of the interface. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, Figure 3 and Figure 4 respectively show the physical positions represented by the above structural parameters from the top view and side view perspectives.
[0044] S102. Set an optimization target according to the structural parameters.
[0045] In the step of setting an optimization target according to the structural parameters, it specifically includes: obtaining the overall radio frequency parameters (S-parameters) of the microstrip converter and the interface according to the structural parameters. The overall radio frequency parameters include at least one of the port reflection coefficient (S 11 , S 22 ) and the port transmission coefficient (S 21 ), and determining the data range of the optimization target according to the overall radio frequency parameters.
[0046] During the implementation process, an optimization range is set according to the actual usage requirements of the microstrip converter and the interface. Exemplarily, if the microstrip converter and the interface operate in the frequency band range of 3 - 6 GHz, the optimization target can be set as:
[0047] ;
[0048] It should be noted that for the optimization performed according to the above structural parameters, the performance change reflected in the microstrip converter mainly lies in the ability transmission efficiency between the input and output interfaces. When in the data range of the above optimization target, the microstrip converter can exhibit good matching characteristics, that is, lower reflection performance. At the same time, it also satisfies lower transmission losses (including dielectric losses, etc.). It can be understood that according to the duality principle, if it is necessary to calculate the forward transmission coefficient S 12 , it can be obtained according to the value of the consistent port transmission coefficient S 21 .
[0049] S103. Iteratively optimize according to the structural parameters using an optimization method based on the Evolutionary Strategies (ES) algorithm, and output the structural parameters that meet the optimization goal as the optimization parameters.
[0050] The Evolutionary Strategies algorithm is a stochastic search optimization algorithm. In the embodiments of the present invention, an optimization method for optimizing the structural parameters is constructed based on the Evolutionary Strategies algorithm. The optimization method based on the Evolutionary Strategies algorithm is specifically as follows:
[0051] S1031. Use the structural parameters as the initial population for iterative optimization.
[0052] S1032. Perform electromagnetic simulation calculations based on the structural parameters of the population in the current iteration to obtain the fitness function value.
[0053] S1033. Then determine whether the fitness function value meets the optimization goal: if so, end the iteration and output the structural parameters corresponding to the current population as the optimization parameters; if not, execute S1034.
[0054] S1034. Randomly select the structural parameters as the parents from the current population for crossover, mutation, and offspring selection to obtain a new population, and return to step S1032.
[0055] In the above process, the fitness function value in step S1032 is used as the characteristic of the population individuals to be compared and analyzed with the optimization goal in turn.
[0056] According to the characteristics of the Evolutionary Strategies algorithm, if the fitness of the population does not increase significantly during the iteration but does not reach the numerical interval that meets the optimization goal, the initial value and the structural parameters can be adjusted and then the iterative optimization can be performed according to step S103.
[0057] S104. Optimize the microstrip converter and the interface connected thereto according to the optimization parameters to obtain an optimized microstrip converter and an optimized interface.
[0058] For ease of understanding, in the embodiments of the present invention, the performance of the microstrip converter structure before and after optimization is analyzed based on electromagnetic simulation. Among them, the optimization method proposed in the embodiments of the present invention is compared with the existing method based on experience mentioned in the background technology. The port reflection coefficient (S 11 、S 22 ), and the port transmission coefficient (S 21 ). The comparison results are respectively as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it can be seen that the optimization method proposed in the embodiments of the present invention achieves better matching between the microstrip converter and the port impedances of various impedance values compared with the existing methods, improves the performance of the microstrip converter, and ensures its stability and adaptability under different working conditions.
[0059] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention lie in proposing an optimization method for a microstrip converter and an interface. This method applies the evolutionary strategy algorithm to the design process of the microstrip converter and the interface to reduce the dependence on manual experience, speed up the design cycle, and thus improve the efficiency of the design process. Further, based on this method, the present invention can solve for the optimal structural parameters of the microstrip converter and the interface as a whole, enabling the optimized microstrip converter and interface to have better radio frequency performance.
