DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0057] To facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the technical content of the present invention, the present invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0058] The present embodiment provides a small integrated broadband power amplifier and a fault detection device having the amplifier. The broadband power amplifier and the fault detection device having the amplifier are mainly used to solve the problems of the prior art in that the broadband power amplifier is large in size, has a high design cost, is not timely in fault location, and is inconvenient in debugging.
[0059] Example 1
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the power amplifying component of the present invention includes an amplifying circuit and an automatic control circuit. The amplifying circuit includes a driving stage module and an amplifying stage module connected in sequence from left to right, wherein the driving stage module is configured to amplify the input signal amplitude to the excitation signal required by the amplifying stage module, and the amplifying stage module is configured to amplify the output signal of the driving stage module to the required power value.
[0061] The driving stage module comprises an input terminal 1, a first attenuator 2, a temperature-compensated attenuator 3, a first-stage amplifier 4, a second attenuator 5, a second-stage amplifier 6 and a third attenuator 7 which are connected in sequence.
[0062] The amplifier stage module includes three-stage amplification 8, one-stage power distribution 9, two-stage power distribution 10-11, three-stage power distribution 12-15, four-stage amplification 16-23, one-stage power synthesis 24-27, two-stage power synthesis 28-29, three-stage power synthesis 30, a coupler 31, an output end 32, a forward detection 33 and a detection circuit 34.
[0063] The working principle of the amplifier circuit is as follows: the external RF signal is received through the input terminal 1, and passes through the first attenuator 2, the temperature-compensated attenuator 3 and the first-stage amplifier circuit 4. At this time, the signal power is controlled at about +12dBm. Then the RF signal enters the second attenuator 5, the second-stage amplifier circuit 6 and the third attenuator 7. At this time, the signal obtains a stable driving-level signal with a power of about +24dBm. This driving-level signal is connected in series to the RF link of the amplifier module, and after three-stage amplification 8, first-stage power distribution 9, second-stage power distribution 10-11, and third-stage power distribution 12-15, the signal is divided into eight paths and the power of each path is amplified to about +27.5dBm. Then, after the RF signal passes through the fourth-stage amplification 16-23, eight-path amplified signals with the same power of about +43dBm will be obtained. Finally, through the first-stage power synthesis 24-27, the second-stage power synthesis 28-29, the third-stage power synthesis 30 and the loss of the coupler 31, the RF amplified signal with a power of about +51dBm (greater than 100W) is finally obtained and transmitted to the required scene through the output terminal 32. At the same time, the coupled signal of the coupler 31 is passed through the forward detection 33 to obtain a weak power detection value, and this power detection value is amplified by the detection circuit 34 and the power monitoring data is transmitted to the control module.
[0064] The automatic control circuit includes a power module, a control module and a heat dissipation device which are connected in sequence from top to bottom, wherein the power module is configured to provide the power required by each component, the control module is configured to provide control signals, receive monitoring information, analyze faults and communicate with the outside, and the heat dissipation device is configured to provide the heat dissipation requirements of each component of the system.

[0068] The working principle of the power module is as follows: the power module receives 220V AC power through the power input 35, and converts the AC220V voltage into five +28V voltages through the switching power supply AC to DC module 36. The +28V branch 1 is converted into +5.5V voltage through the first step-down circuit 37, and the +5.5V is converted into +5V after passing through the first voltage regulator circuit 38 to supply power to the driving stage module and the amplifier stage module; the +5.5V is converted into -2.8V after passing through the second voltage regulator circuit 39 and the first negative voltage circuit 40 to supply the third-stage amplifier gate voltage to the amplifier stage module; the +5.5V is converted into -1.8V after passing through the third voltage regulator circuit 41 and the second negative voltage circuit 42 to supply the fourth-stage amplifier gate voltage to the amplifier stage module; the +5.5V is converted into +3.3V after passing through the fourth voltage regulator circuit 43 to supply power to the control module. +28V branch 2 directly supplies power to the modulation circuit 44. The modulation circuit controls the output form of the power supply by receiving the modulation signal sent by the control module, and goes to the amplification module for the modulation power supply. When the modulation signal is high level (+2.7V~+5.5V), the modulation circuit outputs +28V, and the amplification module can work normally after receiving the modulation power supply; when the modulation signal is low level (0V~+2.7V), the modulation circuit outputs 0V, and the amplification module stops working. +28V branch 3 directly supplies power to the voltage detection circuit 45, and the voltage detection circuit will send voltage monitoring data to the control module. +28V branch 4 directly supplies power to the temperature detection circuit 46, and the temperature detection circuit will send temperature monitoring data to the control module. +28V branch 5 is converted into +24V by the second step-down circuit 47, and goes to the heat dissipation device to supply the fan power supply.

When a fault occurs, the fault information will be sent to the user center in time, and the power supply of the power amplifier will be turned off in time to play a protective role.
[0073] The working principle of the heat dissipation device is as follows: the heat dissipation device uses a first fan 54, a second fan 55, a third fan 56, and a fourth fan 57 to form an air inlet to suck external cold air into the heat dissipation duct 58, and a fifth fan 59, a sixth fan 60, a seventh fan 61, and an eighth fan 62 to form an air outlet to blow out the hot air in the heat dissipation duct, thereby realizing the exchange of hot and cold air.
