[0037] Currently, the method of performing a uniform frequency scan on the circuit using a fixed step size and directly determining the capacitor loss angle based on the scan results is prone to missing the true resonant point due to an excessively large scan step size, or taking too long to scan due to an excessively small scan step size.

The real-time operating system uses embedded Linux, supporting multi-tasking parallel processing and real-time response.

[0044] Precision measurement circuits (measurement loops) are crucial for achieving high-precision measurements. These circuits consist of a signal generator, the capacitor under test, and an inductor. For example, ... Figure 9 The circuit shown features a low-noise front-end design employing an ultra-low-noise chopper-stabilized amplifier, with input voltage noise density less than [value missing] and input current noise density less than [value missing] set according to actual requirements. The amplifier utilizes dynamic bias technology, eliminating 1 / f noise and bias voltage by periodically swapping the input terminals and reversing the signal polarity. The precision resistor network uses high-precision resistors manufactured using thin-film technology, with resistance accuracy better than 0.01%, temperature coefficient less than 2ppm / ℃, and long-term stability better than 5ppm / year. Active protection circuitry includes overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and electrostatic discharge protection, with programmable protection thresholds and a response time less than 1μs. The precision reference circuit includes a temperature-compensated reference source, employing a combination of a bandgap reference and a temperature sensor, with an output voltage temperature coefficient less than 1ppm / ℃ and long-term stability better than 2ppm / 1000 hours.

Signal conditioning and interface circuitry: The signal conditioning circuitry is responsible for converting the measured signal into a standard signal suitable for ADC sampling, and the interface circuitry enables reliable connection to external devices. For example, ... Figure 10As shown, the programmable gain amplifier employs a precision instrumentation amplifier and a relay-switched resistor network, achieving a gain setting accuracy better than 0.01%, gain linearity better than 0.001%, and a gain temperature coefficient less than 5ppm / ℃. The amplifier bandwidth remains at 10MHz even at maximum gain, with a slew rate greater than 1000V / μs, ensuring faithful amplification of fast signals. Gain control uses a digital interface, supporting programmable gain setting and automatic sizing. The programmable filter uses a combination of switched-capacitor filters and continuous-time filters, with filter types including low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-stop, and a cutoff frequency that can be programmably set within the 1Hz-1MHz range. The filter design employs a multi-order structure, with single-order filters reaching up to 8th order, and multiple filters can be cascaded. Filter parameters, including cutoff frequency, quality factor, and gain, are independently adjustable. The signal isolation circuit combines transformer coupling and opto-isolation, with isolation voltage and impedance both exceeding the values ​​set according to actual requirements. Analog signal isolation uses linear optocouplers, achieving linearity better than 0.01% and a bandwidth greater than 10MHz. Digital signal isolation utilizes magnetic couplers, achieving data transmission rates of up to 100Mbps with a transmission delay of less than 10ns. The interface protection circuitry includes multi-level protection such as transient voltage suppressors, gas discharge tubes, and varistors, capable of withstanding 4kV electrostatic discharge and 2kV electrical fast transient / burst damage. The interface circuitry also integrates open / short circuit detection, automatically identifying the connection status of the test lines.

[0045] Furthermore, in terms of measurement process control algorithms, for example, such as Figure 11The measurement process control algorithm shown realizes an automated, high-precision measurement process. The algorithm employs a state machine design, including multiple working states such as initialization, calibration, measurement, data processing, and result output. Switching between states is event-driven. The initialization phase includes a hardware self-test program, which verifies the working status of each hardware module through built-in self-test functions, including the frequency accuracy of the signal generator, the gain accuracy of the amplifier, and the quantization accuracy of the ADC. The environmental parameter monitoring program reads environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure in real time, establishing an environmental parameter database. The measurement parameter setting program automatically optimizes the excitation frequency, signal amplitude, measurement time, and filtering parameters according to the type of capacitor being measured and the measurement requirements. Parameter optimization uses a machine learning algorithm, which can predict the optimal parameter settings based on historical measurement data. The adaptive frequency scanning program in the measurement execution phase dynamically adjusts the scanning step size and measurement time according to the preset frequency range and accuracy requirements. The scanning algorithm uses a strategy combining the golden section method and the bisection method, improving search efficiency while ensuring search completeness. The resonant point identification program uses multiple criteria, including impedance maximum / minimum detection, phase zero-point detection, and energy peak detection, to ensure the accuracy of resonant point identification. The quality factor extraction program employs a nonlinear fitting algorithm, supporting various circuit models, including a simple RLC model (a combined model of resistance, inductance, and capacitance), a corrected model incorporating parasitic parameters, and a frequency-dependent parameter model. The real-time error compensation program dynamically adjusts compensation parameters based on environmental conditions and system status to ensure measurement accuracy. The results processing stage includes a data validity verification program, which verifies the reliability of measurement data through physical consistency checks, statistical consistency checks, and historical data comparisons. The outlier handling program identifies and marks suspicious data, employing robust statistical methods to handle outliers. The uncertainty calculation program calculates combined and expanded uncertainties based on uncertainty propagation theory. The results output program supports multiple data formats, including standard measurement report formats, database formats, and graphical report formats. Data processing and analysis algorithms: Data processing algorithms are crucial for ensuring measurement accuracy; the algorithm design fully considers noise suppression, baseline correction, parameter extraction, and other aspects. The signal preprocessing module employs a multi-stage digital filtering structure, including pre-filtering, anti-aliasing filtering, and bandpass filtering. Pre-filtering employs median filtering and morphological filtering to remove impulse noise and transient interference. Anti-aliasing filtering uses digital resampling technology to prevent spectral aliasing. Bandpass filtering uses a cascaded array of filters: one for steep frequency selectivity and another for linear phase characteristics. Noise suppression uses an adaptive Wiener filtering algorithm, dynamically adjusting filter parameters based on the statistical properties of the signal and noise. The algorithm also integrates wavelet denoising technology, removing noise components through wavelet decomposition and reconstruction.Baseline correction employs a combination of polynomial fitting and spline interpolation to handle various types of baseline drift. The parameter extraction module utilizes an improved Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear fitting algorithm, combined with a genetic algorithm for global optimization. The fitting algorithm supports various circuit models, including ideal RLC models, modified models considering parasitic parameters, and complex frequency-dependent models. To improve fitting accuracy, the algorithm uses weighted least squares, allocating weights based on measurement uncertainty. A multi-starting-point strategy is employed during the fitting process to avoid getting trapped in local optima. The algorithm also integrates physical constraints on the parameters to ensure the physical reasonableness of the fitting results. Convergence judgment uses a multi-criteria method, including multiple indicators such as parameter change rate, fitting residual, and gradient magnitude. The result verification module includes multiple verification mechanisms to ensure the reliability of the measurement results. Physical reasonableness checks verify whether parameter values ​​are within reasonable ranges, such as whether the quality factor is positive and whether the resonant frequency is within the measurement range. Statistical consistency checks evaluate the reproducibility and stability of measurements through statistical analysis of repeated measurements. Historical data comparison analysis compares current measurement results with historical data to identify possible systematic changes. The algorithm also integrates anomaly detection, capable of identifying abnormal measurement results caused by equipment malfunctions or external interference. Adaptive control and optimization algorithms: To achieve optimal performance under different measurement conditions, the system integrates multiple adaptive control and optimization algorithms. The measurement parameter optimization algorithm automatically adjusts excitation signal parameters, measurement time, filter settings, etc., based on the characteristics of the measured capacitor and measurement requirements. The optimization objective is to minimize measurement time while ensuring measurement accuracy. The algorithm employs a multi-objective optimization method, establishing a Pareto front for accuracy-time and selecting the optimal solution based on user priorities. Parameter optimization also considers the dynamic characteristics of the system, dynamically adjusting parameter settings through adaptive control theory. The environmental adaptability algorithm monitors changes in environmental conditions and automatically adjusts system operating parameters to maintain optimal performance. The temperature compensation algorithm dynamically adjusts calibration parameters and compensation factors based on real-time temperature measurements. The humidity compensation algorithm considers the impact of humidity on insulating materials and the dielectric constant of capacitors. The electromagnetic interference adaptation algorithm dynamically adjusts filter parameters and measurement strategies based on the intensity and spectral distribution of environmental electromagnetic interference. The learning optimization algorithm possesses machine learning capabilities, continuously improving algorithm performance based on historical measurement data. The algorithm uses a neural network model to learn the patterns of measurement errors and establish error prediction and compensation models. Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms are used for anomaly detection and fault diagnosis. Reinforcement learning algorithms are used to optimize measurement strategies, finding the optimal measurement sequence through trial and error. Experimental verification and performance evaluation: Standard capacitor verification testing: To comprehensively verify the performance of the capacitor loss angle measurement system, various types of standard capacitors were used for testing and verification. The test scheme covered capacitors with different capacitance values, different loss levels, and different operating frequencies, ensuring the comprehensiveness and representativeness of the verification.For example, polystyrene standard capacitor testing uses traceable standard capacitors with capacitance values ​​ranging from 100pF to 10μF, nominal accuracy of 0.01%, and loss tangent tanδ < 2×10. -4 The frequency range was 1kHz-1MHz. Tests were conducted in a constant temperature and humidity environment, for example, temperature controlled at 23±1℃ and relative humidity controlled at 45±5%. Each capacitance value was measured 10 times repeatedly, and the average value and standard deviation were calculated. Test results showed that the relative error of the capacitance value measurement was less than 0.005%, and the absolute error of the loss tangent was less than 1×10⁻⁶. -5 The ceramic standard capacitor testing covers capacitors with different dielectric types such as C0G, X7R, and Y5V, with capacitance values ​​ranging from 1pF to 1μF and loss tangent values ​​ranging from 10°. -3 -10 -2 The frequency range was 100kHz-10MHz. Due to the nonlinear characteristics of ceramic capacitors, small-signal excitation was used, with the excitation voltage controlled below 100mV. The effects of DC bias, temperature, and frequency on capacitor parameters were also evaluated. The results show that the system can accurately measure the frequency and temperature characteristics of ceramic capacitors. Electrolytic standard capacitor tests included aluminum electrolytic capacitors and tantalum electrolytic capacitors, with capacitance values ​​ranging from 1μF to 1000μF and loss tangent values ​​ranging from 10°. -2 -1, with a frequency range of 100Hz-100kHz. Due to the large equivalent series resistance of electrolytic capacitors, the four-terminal method was used to eliminate the influence of lead resistance. The test also evaluated parameters such as leakage current and the frequency characteristics of the equivalent series resistance. The system provides accurate and reliable measurement results throughout the entire test range. Measurement accuracy verification: The system's measurement accuracy was fully verified through comparison measurements with national standards laboratories. The comparison tests were conducted according to the comparison specifications of international metrology organizations to ensure the authority and credibility of the comparison results. The measurement accuracy verification of low-loss capacitors used a loss tangent value of 10°. -5 -10 -3 Ultra-low loss capacitors within the specified range. Experimental results confirm the system's excellent measurement stability. The distribution of measurement deviations conforms to a normal distribution, with no significant systematic bias. Measurement accuracy verification for medium loss capacitors covers loss tangent values ​​within 10°. -3 -10 -1 Capacitors within a certain range. Measuring these capacitors is relatively easy, but frequency-dependent loss mechanisms and nonlinear effects still need to be considered. Comparison results show that they meet the high-precision requirements of engineering measurements. The accuracy verification of high-loss capacitor measurements is performed for loss tangent values ​​within 10°. -1Capacitors in the -1°C range. These capacitors are commonly used in power electronics applications, and their loss mechanisms are complex, making measurement challenging. The system optimizes the excitation signal and measurement algorithm to achieve lower measurement uncertainty, providing an effective solution for the accurate measurement of high-loss capacitors. Temperature stability testing: Temperature stability is a crucial indicator for precision measuring instruments, directly affecting the reliability of long-term measurements. This system underwent comprehensive temperature stability testing to evaluate the impact of temperature changes on measurement accuracy. For example, the temperature stability test was conducted in a dedicated temperature test chamber with a temperature range of 15°C-35°C, and the temperature change rate was controlled within 1°C / hour to ensure the system could effectively track temperature changes. The test cycle was 72 consecutive hours, with measurement data recorded hourly. A high-stability standard capacitor was used as the test piece, and its measured value was monitored as a function of temperature.

[0046] Test results show that for low-loss capacitors, the system temperature coefficient is less than a certain value, such as 1×10⁻⁶. -6 / ℃, far exceeding the technical specifications. Throughout the entire temperature range, the peak-to-peak value of the measurement deviation is less than any root mean square value, meeting the requirements. The temperature compensation algorithm effectively compensates for the effects of temperature changes, further reducing the temperature coefficient to the set temperature after compensation. Long-term stability testing was conducted for an extended period, monitoring the system's long-term drift characteristics under normal operating conditions. Test results show that the system exhibits good long-term stability, meeting the long-term stability requirements for precision measurement. The main influencing factors on stability are the aging of electronic components and slow changes in environmental conditions; regular calibration effectively maintains the system's long-term stability. This tested system can then be used to measure the capacitor loss angle, ensuring accurate measurement results. The modular hardware design and standardized software interface in the overall architecture of the capacitor loss angle measurement in this embodiment facilitate industrial production and maintenance.

[0047] Specifically, the signal generator provides signals of different frequencies to the measurement loop. This invention proposes a gradient-guided intelligent resonance search algorithm, which employs a three-stage search strategy of coarse scan, fine scan, and precise positioning. The coarse scan stage uses a logarithmic frequency step size for rapid scanning (i.e., by adjusting the frequency of the signal generator), with the step size set as follows:

[0048] Δf coarse =f current ×α coarse

[0049] Where, Δf coarse f is the coarse frequency scan step size. current α is the current frequency value. coarseThe coarse scan coefficients are set according to actual needs. The scanning is performed by increasing the frequency from low frequency to high frequency. During the scanning process, the impedance amplitude change at adjacent frequency points is calculated in real time, and the peak range of the impedance amplitude change rate is determined. The resonance corresponding to this range is determined as the resonance candidate region (resonance region).

[0050] 102. Within the resonant region, a fine frequency scan is performed on the measurement circuit using a signal generator based on a linear frequency step size. During the fine frequency scan, the resonant peak is determined based on the impedance amplitude at each frequency point in the resonant region, and the resonant attribute information of the resonant peak is determined, where the resonant attribute information is the position and width of the resonant peak.

[0051] Specifically, the fine scanning stage employs a linear frequency step size scan within the identified resonant region, with the frequency formula shown below:

[0052]

[0053] Where, Δf fine f is the linear step size for the fine scan phase. max f is the maximum frequency in the resonant region. min Nf is the minimum frequency in the resonant region. fine The fine scanning point count is used to precisely determine the position and width of the resonant peak. Specifically, during the fine scanning process, scanning can be performed based on a predetermined number of fine scanning points. For example, starting from the lower limit of the resonant region, the frequency is increased with a fixed step size. Impedance data is collected three times at each frequency point, and the average value is taken. The impedance amplitude |Z| and its corresponding frequency f are recorded. Based on the impedance amplitude array, a curve is fitted using quadratic interpolation. The point with the maximum impedance in this curve is the resonant peak, and its corresponding frequency is the resonant peak frequency. The position of the point with the maximum impedance is the position of the resonant peak. The difference between the upper and lower limit frequencies corresponding to the impedance amplitude |Z| is taken as the resonant width of the resonant peak.

[0054] 103. Based on the resonance attribute information, select a reference frequency point in the preset area around the resonance peak, and determine the initial resonance frequency of the measurement circuit based on the impedance value corresponding to the reference frequency point. Then, compensate for the initial resonance frequency to obtain the resonance frequency.

[0055] Furthermore, in the precise positioning stage, a parabolic fitting method is used to accurately determine the resonant frequency, and the calculation formula is shown below:

[0056]

[0057] Where a and b are the coefficients of the fitted parabola, f resonance To pinpoint the resonant frequency after precise location, f peakThe initial frequency of the resonant peak is determined. Specifically, a preset region is defined with the resonant peak location as the center and a distance *r* selected according to actual needs as the radius. For example, multiple reference frequency points are selected at equal intervals within the preset region. The corresponding impedance amplitude (impedance value) is measured at each selected reference point, and a quadratic polynomial is used to fit the impedance amplitude corresponding to the reference frequency point. The extreme point of the fitted curve is calculated, and this extreme point is taken as the resonant point. The frequency of this extreme point is taken as the initial resonant point frequency. Furthermore, to improve the accuracy of determining the resonant point frequency, the initial resonant point frequency also needs to be calibrated and compensated. This embodiment of the invention determines the resonant point frequency through a three-level search strategy of adaptive frequency coarse scanning-fine scanning-precise positioning. This ensures accurate scanning of the resonant point while reducing scanning time, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of determining the capacitor loss angle. By compensating for the resonant point frequency error, the influence of measurement error on the resonant point can be avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of the resonant point frequency and, consequently, the accuracy of determining the capacitor loss angle.

Determine the resonance type of the measurement circuit, determine the loss angle determination method of the capacitor under test based on the resonance type, determine the initial circuit parameters of the measurement circuit, and perform error compensation on the initial circuit parameters in real time to obtain the circuit parameters.

[0059] The resonance types include series resonance, parallel resonance, and higher-order resonance; the initial electrical parameters include capacitance, resistance, and inductance.

[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, to accurately determine the capacitor loss angle, it is first necessary to determine the resonance type of the measurement circuit. Therefore, step 104 specifically includes: during the frequency scanning process of the signal generator towards the measurement circuit, determining the impedance frequency characteristic curve and impedance phase of the measurement circuit; extracting the peak value, valley value, and rate of change of the impedance frequency characteristic curve using frequency domain features, and determining the frequency domain resonance type of the measurement circuit based on the peak value, valley value, and rate of change; analyzing the change characteristics of the impedance phase using phase domain features, and determining the phase domain resonance type of the measurement circuit based on the change characteristics; and determining the resonance type of the measurement circuit based on the frequency domain resonance type and the phase domain resonance type.

[0061] Specifically, during the frequency scanning process of the signal generator to the measurement circuit, the first-order difference of the impedance amplitude is calculated, and the extreme points of the rate of change of the impedance amplitude are identified based on the first-order difference. The point where the first-order difference changes from positive to negative is taken as the peak point, and the point where the first-order difference changes from negative to positive is taken as the valley point, and the phase change rate is determined. Frequency domain feature extraction identifies different types of resonance by analyzing the peak, valley, and rate of change of the impedance frequency characteristic curve. Series resonance corresponds to the frequency of the minimum impedance, parallel resonance corresponds to the frequency of the maximum impedance, and higher-order resonances are manifested as local extreme points of the impedance curve. Phase domain feature analysis verifies the resonance type by analyzing the phase change characteristics of the impedance. In series resonance, the phase changes from positive to negative, and the zero-crossing point corresponds to the resonant frequency; in parallel resonance, the phase changes from negative to positive, and the zero-crossing point corresponds to the resonant frequency. Resonance mode confirmation combines frequency domain and phase domain features, and a pattern recognition algorithm is used to confirm the resonance type, ensuring that the correct resonance point is selected for loss calculation.

[0062] Furthermore, in order to determine the capacitor loss angle, it is also necessary to determine the circuit parameters in the measurement loop. The circuit parameters can be measured by a measuring device or calculated using the following formula:

[0063] Z(f)=R+j[2πfL-1 / (2πfC)]

[0064] Where Z(f) is the impedance value in the measurement circuit, R is the resistance value, L is the inductance value, C is the capacitance value, f is the resonant frequency corresponding to the impedance value, and j is the impedance coefficient set according to actual needs.

[0065] Furthermore, different loss angle determination methods are used for different resonance types; that is, series resonance, parallel resonance, and high-frequency resonance each correspond to different loss angle determination methods. Finally, the determined loss angle determination method is used to determine the capacitor's loss angle. During the process of determining the capacitor's loss angle, since circuit parameters are affected by environmental factors, error compensation is needed for the initial circuit parameters to ensure the accuracy of the loss angle determination. Based on this, the method includes: acquiring a sample circuit parameter dataset, wherein the sample circuit parameter dataset includes sample circuit parameters P under different sample temperature values ​​T.

[0066] Specifically, the sample circuit parameters P under the sample temperature value T in the sample circuit parameter dataset.T Substitute the reference circuit parameter P0 at the reference temperature T0 into the formula. A system of equations containing unknowns α1 and α2 is established. Solving this system yields the temperature compensation coefficients α1 and α2. Then, the temperature value at the initial circuit parameter acquisition time is taken as T, the reference temperature value as T0, the initial circuit parameters as P0, and the temperature value as T, reference temperature value T0, initial circuit parameters P0, and temperature compensation coefficients α1 and α2 are substituted into the above formula to obtain the compensated circuit parameters. This embodiment of the invention, by performing temperature compensation on the circuit parameters, avoids the influence of temperature changes on the circuit parameters, ensuring the validity of the circuit parameters and thus improving the accuracy of determining the capacitor loss angle.

[0067] In another embodiment of the present invention, during the acquisition process of the initial circuit parameters, the nonlinear characteristics of the acquisition system will affect the consistency of large-signal and small-signal measurements. That is, the initial circuit parameters will also be affected by the signal changes in the measurement loop during the acquisition process. Therefore, it is necessary to perform nonlinear compensation on the initial circuit parameters. Based on this, the method includes: acquiring a sample signal amplitude dataset, wherein the sample signal amplitude dataset includes sample signal amplitudes A in different signal ranges and sample circuit parameters G(A) under the sample signal amplitude A. The signal amplitude refers to the current value or voltage value in the sample measurement loop composed of a sample signal generator, a sample capacitor under test, and a sample inductor; determining the nonlinear compensation coefficient of the circuit parameters corresponding to different signal ranges based on the sample signal amplitude dataset; determining the current signal amplitude of the measurement loop and determining the target signal range to which the current signal amplitude belongs, and compensating the initial circuit parameters using the nonlinear compensation coefficient of the circuit parameters corresponding to the target signal range, and using the compensated initial circuit parameters as the circuit parameters.

[0068] Specifically, taking the capacitance value as an example, the nonlinear compensation coefficients for different signal ranges are determined according to the following formula:

[0069] G(A) = G0 + G1A + G2A 2 +G3A 3

[0070] Specifically, by substituting different sample circuit parameters G(A) and their corresponding sample signal amplitudes A within the same signal range into the above formula, a system of equations is established to solve for the nonlinear coefficients of G0, G1, G2, and G3. Solving this system of equations yields the values ​​of G0, G1, G2, and G3 within the signal range. Thus, the values ​​of G0, G1, G2, and G3 within different signal ranges can be determined in the above manner. The current signal amplitude of the measurement loop is determined, and A in the above formula is replaced with the current signal amplitude. The signal range to which the current signal amplitude belongs is determined, and the current values ​​of G0, G1, G2, and G3 within that signal range are determined. These current values ​​of G0, G1, G2, and G3 are then substituted into the above formula, thereby calculating the nonlinearly compensated circuit parameters. This embodiment of the invention, by performing nonlinear compensation on the circuit parameters, avoids the influence of changes in the acquisition system signal during the acquisition process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the circuit parameter determination and improving the accuracy of the capacitor loss angle determination.

[0076] If the resonance type is parallel resonance, the loss angle of the capacitor is determined using the loss angle determination method corresponding to parallel cointegration. If the resonance type is high-frequency resonance, the loss angle determination method corresponding to high-frequency resonance is used. In summary, this embodiment of the invention uses a three-level search strategy of adaptive frequency coarse scanning-fine scanning-precise positioning to determine the resonant frequency. This ensures accurate scanning of the resonant point while reducing scanning time, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of determining the capacitor loss angle.

Compared with the current method of performing a uniform frequency scan of the circuit with a fixed step size and directly determining the loss angle of the capacitor based on the scan results, the present invention first performs a coarse frequency scan of the measurement circuit with a logarithmic frequency step size to determine the resonant region. Within the resonant region, a fine frequency scan of the measurement circuit with a linear frequency step size is performed to determine the resonant peak. Then, based on the impedance value of the reference frequency point around the resonant peak, the initial resonant frequency is determined and compensated to obtain the resonant frequency. After that, the resonance type is determined, and the circuit parameters and resonant frequency of the measurement circuit are analyzed using a loss angle determination method corresponding to the resonance type to obtain the loss angle of the capacitor under test. Therefore, by employing a three-level search strategy of adaptive frequency coarse scan, fine scan, and precise positioning to determine the resonant frequency, it is possible to ensure accurate scanning of the resonant point while reducing scanning time, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of determining the capacitor loss angle. Furthermore, by performing error compensation on the resonant frequency, the influence of measurement errors on the resonant point can be avoided, thus improving the accuracy of the resonant frequency and consequently, the accuracy of determining the capacitor loss angle. Finally, by performing real-time error compensation on the circuit parameters, the influence of the external environment on the circuit parameters can be avoided, thus ensuring the accuracy of the circuit parameters and further improving the accuracy of determining the capacitor loss angle.

[0084] 205. Substitute the initial resonant frequency into the calibration factor determination function to calculate the calibration factor, obtain the calibration factor of the initial resonant frequency, and use the calibration factor to calibrate the initial resonant frequency to obtain the resonant frequency.

[0085] Specifically, the measurement circuit can be a sample measurement circuit composed of a sample signal generator, a sample capacitor, and a sample inductor. To address the frequency correlation error problem in broadband measurements, this embodiment of the invention establishes a frequency response compensation model based on multi-point calibration. Calibration frequency points are selected using a logarithmically evenly spaced method to ensure a reasonable distribution of calibration points throughout the entire measurement frequency band. The formula for determining the calibration frequency points is as follows:

Therefore, it is necessary to periodically measure open-circuit and short-circuit standards to monitor baseline changes; continuously monitor the DC bias of key nodes; and evaluate noise levels and stability in real time. Finally, circuit parameter compensation is performed based on noise levels and stability. The compensation process is as follows: First, determine the circuit parameter baseline (Baseline(t)) at the current time t (the time of initial circuit parameter acquisition).
