The measurement connection diagram is shown in Figure 1 .

[0028] The input impedance spectrum of the cable to be measured is measured by the above method.

[0029] The improved orthogonal integral algorithm in step S3 is specifically as follows:​​​​​​ The fundamental principle of orthogonality is: for a function system { f i ( x ), i =1, 2…}, if they satisfy the orthogonality shown in equation (7), that is, the integral of the product of two identical functions is not equal to 0 while the integral of the product of two different functions is always 0, then { f i ( x ), i =1, 2…} is an orthogonal function system. As can be seen from equation (7), the orthogonality of the orthogonal function system is essentially a kind of screening property. ; The chosen orthogonal kernel function is {sin(2 βnd ) / e -2αnd , n =1, 2, 3…}.

M 1600; arg( Z in ) i For the measured number i Impedance phase value at each frequency point; β i For the first iThe phase shift coefficient value of a healthy cable at each frequency point; α i For the first i Attenuation coefficient of healthy cable at a specific frequency point; n The variable to iterate over in the algorithm is 0, starting from the final value. N _n_ natural numbers; d To calculate the step size.

[0030] The calculated defect location function is plotted as a defect location function curve as shown in Figure 2.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2, the horizontal axis of the defect location function curve represents the distance from the cable's beginning, and the vertical axis represents the amplitude characteristic of the defect location function. This cable contains three peak values. The first two peak values ​​correspond to two defective segments within the cable, and the third peak value corresponds to the cable's end. The figure shows that the distances from the beginning of the two defects are 29.97m and 60.39mm, respectively, and the lengths of the two defective segments are... and .

[0032] Calculate the peak value in step S4 C The calculation method is as follows: Read the first [value] directly from the defect location function curve graph. i Peak values ​​at the beginning and end of the defective segment and and the x-axis corresponding to the peak value x i_s and x i_e The calculated peak values ​​corresponding to each peak value are obtained through the following calculations; ; In the formula and The peak values ​​were calculated for the first and last segments of the defective segment, respectively. The phase shift coefficient of a healthy cable. and These are the start and stop frequencies for impedance spectrum measurement, respectively.

[0033] In step S5, the approach to calculating the reflection coefficient and characteristic impedance of each defect segment is as follows: The flowchart for calculating the reflection coefficient of each defect segment is shown in Figure 3.

[0034] Characteristic impedance calculation method: The known relationship between the reflection coefficient and characteristic impedance of each segment is as follows: ; In the formula For the first i The reflection coefficient of the defective section; the characteristic impedance of the first i defect section; Z c The characteristic impedance of the healthy cable can be calculated by formula (11), and the characteristic impedance of each defect section can be calculated.

[0035] In step S6, the idea of calculating the defect degree quantization value is as follows: Defect degree quantization calculation: by comparing with the characteristic impedance of the healthy cable Z c The comparison can obtain the severity of each defect section, and the parameter E i indicates the severity quantization value of the first i defect section, E i The calculation is as follows: ; E i The greater the value of the defect severity quantization value, the more serious the defect, and the quantitative calculation of the defect degree in the cable is realized.

[0036] Defect type judgment: When the characteristic impedance of the defect section is less than the characteristic impedance of the healthy cable, it is determined as a local damage defect, and when the characteristic impedance of the defect section is greater than the characteristic impedance of the healthy cable, it is determined as a local aging defect.

[0037] Example 2: This embodiment is used to verify the effectiveness of the above technical content. In this experiment, radio frequency coaxial cables are used as experimental objects, and two local defects with different local defect degrees are set. In the experiment, a 88 m long radio frequency coaxial cable with a model of SYV50-3 and a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω is used to simulate a local defect 1, a radio frequency coaxial cable with a model of RVSP 2*0.5 and a characteristic impedance of 120 Ω is used to simulate a local defect 2, and a radio frequency coaxial cable with a model of SYV75-5 and a characteristic impedance of 75 Ω is used to simulate a healthy cable section. The entire cable structure is shown in FIG. 4, and the measured impedance spectrum is shown in FIG. 5. The upper curve in FIG. 5 is an impedance amplitude spectrum, and the lower curve is an impedance phase spectrum.

[0038] According to step S1, the open circuit short circuit impedance spectrum of the healthy cable of the same type is measured, and the attenuation coefficient and the phase shift coefficient of the SYV75-5 cable in [1 MHz, 120 MHz] are obtained as shown in FIG. 6.

[0039] According to step S3, the defect positioning function curve is obtained by processing the impedance phase spectrum as shown in FIG. 7.

[0040] As can be seen from Fig. 7, the defect locating function curve F( x ) has three peaks, corresponding to the defect point 1, the defect point 2 and the cable end, corresponding to the positions of 17.9 m, 48.5 m and 87.9 m, the lengths of the two defects are and , and the total length of the cable is 87.9 m.

[0041] According to step S4, the calculation of the peak is as follows: ; According to step S5, the defect segment reflection coefficient and the characteristic impedance are calculated as follows: ; Finally, the characteristic impedances of the two defect segments are as follows: ; According to step S6, the defect degree quantization value can be calculated as shown in the table: At the same time, according to the calculation result of the characteristic impedance, it can be known that the characteristic impedance of the first defect segment of the cable is smaller than that of the healthy cable, which is a local damage defect, and the characteristic impedance of the second defect segment of the cable is larger than that of the healthy cable, which is a local aging defect, and the difference between the calculation result of the characteristic impedance and the actual value is not more than 3%, which indicates the rationality of the method for judging the defect type.

[0042] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present application and the advantages of the present application, and it is obvious for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present application can be realized in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application.

[0043] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, each embodiment does not contain only one independent technical solution, and the description manner of the specification is only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments which can be understood by those skilled in the art.
