Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metrology and testing technology, and specifically to an amplitude stabilization method and level control device for radio power measurement. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of radio power metering, especially in medium and high power metering scenarios, the stability of signal power is crucial to the accuracy of metering. The national metrology technical document "JJF 1386-2013 Medium Power Meter Calibration Specification" clearly requires the use of amplitude stabilizers, i.e. level control devices, to construct medium power calibration systems in order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of power measurements.
[0003] Existing level control devices mainly employ diode detectors or thermistor power detectors. Diode detectors are significantly affected by the environment and have poor long-term stability, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision metering. While single-thermistor level control devices, such as the Tigan 1805 model, use thermistors to improve stability, they are based on a voltage-excited Wheatstone bridge. Newer thermistor power detectors, due to changes in the ceramic substrate structure, experience a significant increase in zero-point balance voltage, rendering the original drive circuit inadequate for their operation. Furthermore, the use of two-wire thermistor measurement and single-thermistor designs limits measurement accuracy and lacks thermal dissipation compensation. Therefore, achieving stable and accurate level control in radio power metering, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies in drive capability, measurement accuracy, and power compensation, and improving the overall performance of radio power metering has become an urgent problem to be solved. To address this, a method for amplitude stabilization and a level control device for radio power metering are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0052] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0053] 1. This invention uses a single-arm current source circuit to replace the traditional voltage-excited Wheatstone bridge. A feedback loop consisting of voltage-controlled current source transistors Q101 and Q102 and operational amplifiers A103 and A104 is used to achieve stable current excitation for the thermistor. Addressing the issue of increased zero-point balance voltage in novel thermistor power detectors due to changes in the ceramic substrate structure, the auxiliary resistor Rc and the single-pole single-throw control switch SPST are used to reduce the equivalent resistance in the initial measurement phase, ensuring normal current source drive. This effectively solves the problem that existing drive circuits cannot adapt to thermistors with high zero-point balance voltages, improving the device's compatibility with different types of thermistor power detectors.
[0054] 2. This invention uses a four-wire method to connect the working thermistor Rt1 and the compensation thermistor Rt2 into a single-arm current source circuit, significantly reducing the impact of wire resistance on measurement accuracy. Compared with the existing two-wire method, it greatly reduces the interference of contact resistance and lead resistance. At the same time, the two single-arm current sources are used to independently measure the working thermistor Rt1 and the compensation thermistor Rt2 respectively. Combined with the temperature sensing resistor Rt3 and the temperature control module to accurately control the temperature of the power detector, the influence of ambient temperature fluctuations on the measurement results is eliminated, realizing high-precision measurement of the thermistor DC voltage and providing a reliable data foundation for subsequent power calculation.
[0055] 3. This invention innovatively adopts a dual-thermistor design. Through a signal processing module, the DC voltage of the two thermistors is differentially calculated under conditions with and without AC signals. This effectively compensates for the heat dissipation power of the ceramic substrate inside the power detector. Specifically, the working thermistor Rt1 is used to sense the heat generated by the radio power, and the compensation thermistor Rt2 is used to monitor the influence of environmental heat conduction. The DC substitution power of the two thermistors is calculated by combining the main path radio power formula with the coupling degree C, eliminating the defect that a single thermistor cannot compensate for heat dissipation. This improves the calculation accuracy of the main path radio power P and solves the problem of large power measurement deviation in complex environments in existing single thermistor designs.

Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0063] Examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, an amplitude stabilization method in radio power metering includes the following steps:
[0064] S1. In an environment without AC signal, two single-arm current source circuits are used to measure the DC voltage of the working thermistor Rt1 and the compensation thermistor Rt2 in the power detector, respectively, to obtain the DC voltage of the working thermistor Rt1 without AC signal and the DC voltage of the compensation thermistor Rt2 without AC signal.
[0065] S2. In an environment with an AC signal, use two single-arm current source circuits to measure the DC voltage of the working thermistor Rt1 and the compensation thermistor Rt2 in the power detector, respectively, to obtain the DC voltage of the working thermistor Rt1 with an AC signal and the DC voltage of the compensation thermistor Rt2 with an AC signal.

[0067] S4. Through the integral limiting circuit, the target power characterization voltage and the current power characterization voltage are converted into a modulation voltage, and the modulation voltage is sent to the control signal source or the electrically adjustable attenuator.
[0068] Furthermore, the working principle of the present invention will be illustrated below through embodiments:
[0069] Assuming we are building a level control device for radio power metering, we prepare the power detector section, ensuring that its internal working thermistor Rt1 and compensation thermistor Rt2 are installed correctly, and connect the heating resistor Rh and the temperature measuring resistor Rt3. For the main unit, we set up two single-arm current sources, a temperature control module, a temperature measuring module, a signal processing module, an integral limiting module, and a human-machine interaction module, and ensure that the wiring between each module is correct. The single-arm current sources are connected to the thermistors inside the power detector using a four-wire method.
[0070] Turn on the device power and start the temperature control module to heat the power detector. The internal temperature of the power detector is monitored in real time through the temperature measuring resistor Rt3. When the temperature reaches a stable state and the temperature change rate is within a very small range, such as the temperature change not exceeding 0.1℃ every 10 minutes, the power detector is considered to have reached a stable operating temperature environment.
[0071] Using the two single-arm current source circuits inside the main unit, the working thermistor Rt1 and the compensation thermistor Rt2 were measured respectively. The initial resistance values of the working thermistor Rt1 and the compensation thermistor Rt2 were... Since the single-arm current source circuit cannot be directly driven, the SPST switch in the single-arm current source circuit is closed, which connects the working thermistor Rt1 and the compensation thermistor Rt2 in parallel with their respective starting auxiliary resistors Rc. This facilitates the normal operation of the single-arm current source circuit. After closing the SPST switch for 1 second, the resistance values of the working thermistor Rt1 and the compensation thermistor Rt2 drop to [value missing]. Disconnecting the SPST switch allows the single-arm current source circuit to enter normal operating mode. In normal operating mode, instrumentation amplifiers A101 and A102 measure the voltage across the working thermistor Rt1, the compensation thermistor Rt2, and their respective standard resistors Rs. Feedback adjustment via operational amplifiers A103 and A104, and voltage-controlled current source transistors Q101 and Q102, ensures that the voltages across the working thermistor Rt1, the compensation thermistor Rt2, and their respective standard resistors Rs are equal, thus obtaining a stable DC voltage—the DC voltage of the working thermistor Rt1 without an AC signal. and the DC voltage without AC signal of the compensating thermistor Rt2 .
[0072] After the power detector receives an AC signal, the DC voltage of the working thermistor Rt1 without an AC signal is obtained by repeatedly disconnecting the SPST switch. and the DC voltage without AC signal of the compensating thermistor Rt2 The steps involve again using a single-arm current source circuit to measure the working thermistor Rt1 and the compensation thermistor Rt2, obtaining the DC voltage with AC signal of the working thermistor Rt1. And the compensation thermistor Rt2 has AC signal DC voltage .
[0073] The coupling degree C is input through the human-machine interface module in the host machine. Assuming C equals -20dB, the target power value is... Set to 100mW. The target power characterization voltage is calculated using the target power characterization voltage formula. The voltage is 0.45V; based on the formula for the DC substitution power of a thermistor, calculate the DC substitution power of the AC signal on the thermistor. The thermal conduction power received by the thermistor at the compensation terminal Assuming the measurement yields It is 3V. It is 2.5V. 2V The voltage is 1.95V, and the standard resistor Rs has a resistance of 200Ω. It is 0.01375W. The value is 0.0009875W; using the general formula for current power characterization voltage, the current power characterization voltage is calculated. The voltage is 6.631875V. Since the resistance of both the compensation thermistor Rt2 and the working thermistor Rt1 is 200Ω, it can also be verified by calculation using the simplified formula for power characterization voltage. The value was 6.631875V, which is consistent with the result.
[0074] Characterize the target power with voltage and current power characterization voltage Input integration limiting circuit. The operational amplifier A301 in the integration limiting circuit amplifies the difference between the two values by a factor of 10,000 to improve steady-state sensitivity. When the steady-state mode is enabled, the single-pole double-throw switch SPDT in the integration limiting circuit is switched to its normally closed position. At this time, the modulation voltage is obtained through the integration limiting circuit. Assuming the amplified voltage difference is processed by an integration and limiting circuit to obtain the modulation voltage. The modulated voltage is 2V. The signal is input to a control signal source or an electrically adjustable attenuator to achieve stable control of the radio power. In practical applications, if there is a deviation between the current power and the target power, the modulation voltage... The system will adjust accordingly to control the signal source or electrically adjustable attenuator, stabilizing the output power at the target power value. nearby.
[0075] The main channel radio power P and modulation voltage are monitored and recorded in real time through the human-computer interaction module. Operators can intuitively see the current power changes and the modulation voltage adjustment process, which facilitates the monitoring and optimization of the entire radio power metering system.
