[0002] Impedance matching is a critical technical step in high-frequency scenarios, such as RF communication systems, radar antenna arrays, and microwave power amplifiers. To reduce reflection loss and improve signal integrity, traditional microwave systems often use fixed matching networks or manually adjust capacitors and inductors to achieve initial impedance alignment. However, these methods typically rely on static parameter configuration and are difficult to adapt to impedance shifts caused by temperature drift, load changes, frequency switching, and other factors during operation.

[0003] Currently, some dynamic matching solutions have attempted to incorporate controllable devices such as PIN diodes and MEMS devices for matching adjustments. However, most only support local optimization within a limited frequency range or, in actual deployment, still rely on manual intervention, failing to achieve dynamic matching control across a continuous frequency range. Furthermore, traditional control strategies are typically based on fixed rules or preset lookup tables, lacking adjustment mechanisms based on real-time state feedback, and their matching effectiveness is susceptible to degradation as the environment changes.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the first embodiment of the present application provides an adaptive impedance matching method in a microwave frequency band, comprising the following steps:

[0049] S10, performing an initial measurement on the port impedances of multiple components in the microwave system, obtaining an initial impedance parameter of each node, and using the parameter as a reference for subsequent matching control;

[0050] In this embodiment, the system first performs an impedance initialization step to measure the complex impedance parameters of multiple key RF component ports as reference inputs for subsequent adaptive matching calculations. Specifically, the system includes the following sub-steps:

[0051] S101, injecting calibration signals into the ports of each component in sequence as stimulus input;

[0052] The system control module selects the target component ports in turn and injects a standard calibration signal into each port.

[0053] The calibration signal is a frequency-adjustable, narrowband swept-frequency excitation that covers the system's primary operating frequency band. Its characteristics include smooth amplitude, linear phase, and controlled harmonic content. To avoid interference between ports, the system uses serial injection, stimulating only one component port at a time.

[0054] S102, collecting stimulus response data of each port, calculating and outputting complex impedance parameters at corresponding frequencies;

[0055] After the calibration signal is injected, the system uses a high-precision impedance sampling module to collect the excitation response returned by the port in real time. The response signal includes the complex components of the reflected wave and the transmitted wave.

[0056] The system uses the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm to convert the time-domain sampling data into a frequency-domain expression, extract the complex components of voltage and current V(f) and I(f), and calculate the complex impedance at the current frequency point according to the following formula: , where A(f), B(f), C(f), and D(f) are the real and imaginary parts after amplitude and phase demodulation. The system performs multiple sampling on each port and uses mean filtering to eliminate occasional interference to improve measurement accuracy.

[0057] S103 , writing the initial complex impedance data into a matching reference storage module for subsequent impedance modeling and comparison reference.

[0058] The system packages the complex impedance parameters calculated at the corresponding frequency point of each port into a structured data group and marks them according to fields such as port number, frequency index, and measurement time.

[0059] The system then writes this data into the matching benchmark storage module. This module uses a frequency-band-based storage structure that supports fast indexing and historical data backtracking for subsequent matching algorithm modeling, initial value setting, and error correction benchmarks.

[0060] S20, inputting the initial impedance parameters into the impedance matching module, dynamically collecting the port impedance value and signal reflection coefficient under the current operating state through the reflection monitoring mechanism, and constructing real-time impedance state information;

[0061] After completing step S10, the system obtains the frequency of each component port at different frequency points. Complex impedance parameters under For the sake of uniformity, the static measurement impedance parameter is referred to as the initial impedance and is expressed as: The system inputs this initial parameter into the impedance matching module as a reference for impedance deviation calculation during dynamic operation. Subsequently, the system uses the reflection monitoring mechanism to collect the incident signal and reflected signal in real time during operation, and constructs dynamic impedance state information in a two-dimensional frequency-time structure. This step includes the following sub-steps:

[0062] S201, inputting the incident wave and reflected wave of the microwave signal into a reflection monitoring module;

[0063] The system sets a broadband directional coupler at each key port to extract the incident wave voltage signal in the working channel in real time. and reflected wave voltage signal and input the two synchronously into the reflection monitoring module.

[0064] To ensure the phase and sampling timing are consistent, the system uses a unified master clock Dual-channel sampling triggering is achieved, so that the two signals are aligned with nanosecond time accuracy.

[0065] S202, performing amplitude and phase analysis on the reflected wave to calculate the current reflection coefficient value;

[0066] The reflection monitoring module applies a window function weight to the input signal and then performs a fast Fourier transform to extract the frequency points. Complex voltage value on The complex reflection coefficient of this frequency point is calculated according to the following expression: ,in, are the real and imaginary parts of the reflected signal at the frequency point respectively; are the real and imaginary parts of the incident signal; is the reflection coefficient, which is used to describe the amplitude and phase deviation of the current matching state and serves as an important basis for system matching evaluation.

[0067] S203 , synchronously writing the obtained reflection coefficient and impedance measurement value into a timing cache queue for use in dynamic model construction and subsequent algorithm processing.

[0068] The system at each frequency point , time point The complex impedance value of the current port is collected in real time and recorded as: and the initial complex impedance value obtained in step S10 To comprehensively evaluate the impedance deviation degree, the trend of drastic change of reflected waves and the impact of environmental disturbances under the current working state, the system constructs a matching deviation risk intensity function: ,in, Indicates the kth frequency sampling point currently being processed; Indicates the time sampling point of the current moment; Represents the real part of the current actual impedance; Indicates the imaginary part of the current actual impedance; , Represent the real and imaginary parts of the initial impedance at the frequency point respectively; Indicates the complex reflection coefficient of the current frequency point; The modulus length represents the reflection coefficient; It represents the derivative of the reflection coefficient mode length with respect to frequency, and is used to measure the severity of reflection fluctuations in the frequency domain; Indicates frequency point Place, time Temperature offset; The reference temperature value set for the system is used to normalize the environmental impact; Frequency point ,time The power fluctuation amount; The nominal reference power value set for the system. The larger the value of the risk function, the more obvious the matching deviation in the current state of the system, the more unstable the reflection trend or the stronger the environmental disturbance, and the priority is to enter the adjustment control process. The system constructs the above parameters into an impedance state vector: , and write to the cache queue The queue adopts a cyclic sliding window structure, which supports fast access indexed by frequency and time, and serves as the input basis for the subsequent matching adjustment algorithm.

[0069] S30, inputting the real-time impedance information into the adaptive algorithm module, performing parameter calculation and configuration update of the adjustable elements in the matching network, so that the system reflection coefficient gradually converges to a minimum value, thereby achieving dynamic impedance matching;

[0070] The dynamic impedance state information obtained in step S20 includes multi-dimensional input parameters such as the current impedance value, reflection coefficient, and matching deviation risk index. The system inputs this information into the adaptive algorithm module to achieve dynamic configuration control of various adjustable components in the matching network, ensuring that the microwave system maintains the optimal matching state in each operating frequency band. This step specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0071] S301, inputting the currently measured impedance value and initial impedance parameters into the adaptive algorithm module;

[0072] The system is at the current frequency and time Next, extract the following input data: real-time complex impedance value ; Initial complex impedance value ; Current reflection coefficient ; Matching deviation index The above data is used as feature input and sent to the adaptive algorithm module for adjustment calculation.

[0073] S302, the adaptive algorithm module calculates and generates a matching parameter vector;

[0074] The adaptive algorithm module calculates the configuration parameters required for each adjustment device in the matching network based on the input parameters and uses the following multi-factor combination function to generate the matching parameter vector: ,in, represents the target matching parameter vector, which represents the control output of n adjustable devices in the matching network; is the impedance real part deviation; is the impedance imaginary part deviation; is the derivative of the reflection coefficient mode length with respect to frequency; is the matching deviation risk intensity function value; Weight coefficient and bias value for adjusting the i-th device; represents the unit direction selection vector for the control channel of the i-th device; n represents the total number of adjustment elements involved in the matching network configuration. Through this computational model, the system can comprehensively evaluate the current matching state and evolution trend, generating a set of adjustable configuration parameters for precise control.

[0075] S303 : updating the configuration of adjustable capacitors, inductors or MEMS elements in the matching network according to the matching parameter vector to achieve real-time dynamic adjustment of parameters.

[0076] The system generates matching parameter vectors based on , sending configuration instructions to various adjustable components in the matching network through high-speed control channels to achieve dynamic control of the following devices: adjustable capacitor arrays; variable inductor modules; microelectromechanical tunable devices (MEMS tuners); microstrip phase shifters; digitally programmable electronic tuning networks and other structured adjustment units.

[0077] These components can be deployed individually or in combination, depending on the system architecture, to achieve control objectives such as impedance matching, phase adjustment, or reflection minimization. Control commands are directly loaded into the physical components via digital-to-analog converters or digital control interfaces, enabling continuous adjustment with sub-millisecond response.

[0078] The system monitors the adjusted reflection coefficient The system then analyzes the change trend to determine whether the expected convergence conditions have been met. If the deviation still does not meet the set threshold, the parameter calculation and update process is re-executed to form a stable closed-loop control mechanism and achieve continuous dynamic impedance matching.

[0079] S40, comparing the current reflection coefficient with a preset target reflection reference value, calculating a matching error value as a feedback signal, and driving the matching network parameters to further iterate until the set matching accuracy condition is met;

[0080] To continuously optimize the system's matching accuracy, after completing the initial parameter adjustment, the system further evaluates the deviation between the current reflection state and the ideal matching state and establishes a feedback control mechanism. Through error evaluation and parameter updates, multiple rounds of impedance matching are implemented until the preset accuracy threshold is reached. This step includes the following sub-steps:

[0081] S401, inputting the reflection coefficient of the current output signal and the preset target reflection coefficient into an error evaluation module;

[0082] The system is at the current frequency and time Under this condition, the actual reflection coefficient of the output signal is collected. , and load the preset target reflection coefficient value .

[0083] The two are sent as input to the error evaluation module and serve as the basic data source for subsequent error calculation. It can be obtained by fitting historical test data, calculating typical impedance standards, or setting engineering experience values.

[0084] S402, the error evaluation module calculates the matching error value as a matching performance criterion;

[0085] In the error evaluation module, the system constructs a matching error function in the following form based on the current reflection deviation and reflection trend: ,in, is the output reflection coefficient at the current frequency point; The target reflection coefficient value preset for the system; is the square of the comprehensive error of reflection amplitude and phase; is the rate of change of the reflection coefficient over time, which is used to determine whether the system is in an unstable oscillation or non-convergent state; , is the weight coefficient, which is used to control the influence ratio of static error and dynamic error; The matching error value is used as the core indicator to judge the current matching performance. The system uses the error value and the set matching convergence threshold to Compare and use as a basis for whether further adjustment is needed.

[0086] S403: If the matching error value does not meet the set convergence condition, the system re-calculates the parameters based on the matching error value and starts the next round of matching adjustment.

[0087] When the error value When the system determines that the current matching state still does not meet the accuracy requirements, it immediately feeds the error feedback to the adaptive algorithm module. The module dynamically adjusts the matching parameter weights according to the feedback error size, re-executes the matching parameter vector calculation process, and generates a new parameter output. , and drives each adjustment device in the matching network to update the configuration.

[0088] The above adjustment process forms an automatic closed-loop matching mechanism. The system will continue to perform error detection and parameter iteration until the error value is , it is determined that the matching convergence condition is reached and the matching process is terminated.

[0089] S50: After the matching conditions meet the set requirements, the optimized matching parameter group is output and loaded into the controller to complete the configuration and adjustment of the actual signal channel;

[0090] After multiple rounds of adjustment and error feedback control, the system detects that the reflection coefficient at the current frequency point meets the preset matching accuracy conditions, that is, the error index is lower than the set threshold, and the system determines that the matching process is complete. At this point, the final optimized matching parameter set is output and loaded into the controller to drive the physical matching network into actual working state. This step includes the following sub-steps:

[0091] S501, writing the final matching parameter group into the controller internal register through the control interface;

[0092] The system will set the current frequency point The matching parameter set determined by the adaptive algorithm module is output and written to a dedicated register within the controller via the control bus or high-speed interface. This parameter set contains detailed configuration data for the adjustable components, such as capacitance and inductance values, phase shift status, and channel switching instructions. The controller then prepares to execute instructions based on this data.

[0093] S502: The controller drives the physical matching network to complete the actual configuration according to the written parameters;

[0094] The controller reads the written register values and maps the parameters to the corresponding physical actuator channels. It controls the adjustable capacitors, inductor arrays, microstrip structures, MEMS components or phase-shifting networks in the matching network through voltage, current or digital pulse signals to complete the matching configuration of key nodes in the RF signal path, ensuring channel impedance continuity and minimizing signal reflections.

[0095] S503: Output the configuration completion status to the matching record module, and record the current matching parameter group and system status.

[0096] To ensure system status backtracking and matching data traceability, after completing physical configuration, the controller encapsulates the current matching parameter set and corresponding operating status information such as frequency, time, temperature, and power into a status record data packet and outputs it to the matching record module. This module stores this data in a structured manner, which can be used for subsequent model optimization, historical analysis, and anomaly reconstruction, ensuring the system's long-term evolution and failure self-diagnosis capabilities.

[0097] S60: Verify the optimized matching parameters in multiple frequency bands and under different environmental conditions, output the matching status evaluation results, and provide adaptive parameter support for the long-term stable operation of the system.

[0098] After the matching parameters are loaded and configured, the system enters the continuous operation phase. To ensure the adaptability and stability of the optimized matching parameters in actual use, the system periodically verifies the matching effect in key frequency bands and typical environmental conditions. By real-time detection of changes in reflection status and external interference, it determines whether to trigger the rematching mechanism to achieve long-term adaptive control of the system. This step includes the following sub-steps:

[0099] S601, periodically collecting reflection coefficient values within a set frequency band;

[0100] Based on the preset operating frequency range, the system performs periodic reflection coefficient measurements at multiple sampling points, including the main carrier, edge frequencies, and historically high-deviation frequency bands. This measurement is triggered periodically by the reflection monitoring module, which collects output reflection characteristics corresponding to the frequency and timestamps to construct a long-term impedance trend map. The system dynamically adjusts the sampling interval and frequency density based on historical evaluation results to optimize resource allocation efficiency.

[0101] S602: Input the collected frequency band environment parameters into the adaptability judgment module to identify changes in the environment state;

[0102] The system simultaneously collects external environmental parameters corresponding to the reflection coefficient, including temperature, humidity, input power, and voltage fluctuations, constructing a complete frequency band-environmental characteristic data pair. This data is then fed into the adaptability judgment module for real-time analysis. This module uses preset thresholds and a self-learning model to identify changing environmental trends and determine whether there are potential interference factors that could cause fluctuations in matching performance, such as power supply instability, thermal drift, and mechanical vibration.

[0103] S603: When an environmental offset or a degradation in matching performance is detected, a rematch trigger signal is output to start the system to re-enter the matching process to maintain matching stability.

[0104] If the system detects that the environmental state has deviated beyond the set stability tolerance, or detects a significant increase in the reflection coefficient trend, it will determine that matching performance is at risk of degradation and immediately output a rematch trigger signal to the main control module. Based on this, the system initiates the automatic matching process callback mechanism, re-executing the parameter measurement, error determination, and matching adjustment steps to ensure that the matching network is restored to the optimal configuration under the new operating conditions, thereby achieving long-term matching stability control in dynamic environments.
