Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) testing system for an anechoic chamber of this invention includes: a linear module 1, which drives a support 2 to move horizontally; a commutation assembly, which is configured on the support 2 and has an antenna 4 mounted on it. The commutation assembly can drive the antenna 4 to rotate circumferentially around the central axis of the support 2, or drive the antenna 4 to commutate in the horizontal or vertical direction; wherein the commutation assembly includes at least a driving structure 31 and a base 32 driven by the driven structure 31, and the antenna 4 is mounted on the base 32.
[0022] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The linear module 1 is a mature technology. The linear module 1 includes at least a slider that can be linearly driven, and the bracket 2 is vertically mounted on the slider. The commutation assembly includes at least a drive structure 31 and a base 32, wherein the signal transmitting antenna 4 is configured on the base 32. The drive structure 31 can drive the base 32 to rotate circumferentially on the bracket 2, or drive the base 32 to change from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction on the bracket 2, or drive the base 32 to change from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction on the bracket 2.
[0023] When performing voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) testing, the linear module 1 is first used to drive the bracket 2 and the commutation assembly and antenna 4 configured on it to move to a predetermined position. Then, the commutation assembly is used to drive the base 32 to perform a commutation operation, so that the antenna 4 configured on the base 32 can automatically and accurately complete the commutation operation. Afterward, the antenna 4 emits a signal and records relevant data to analyze the difference between the reflected wave and the incident wave, thereby calculating the voltage standing wave ratio. This application has the characteristics of high automation, high detection efficiency and high testing accuracy by using the linear module 1 and the commutation module to drive the antenna 4 to move and commutate, and it is practical.
[0024] In one or more embodiments, the drive structure 31 includes at least a first drive device 311 fixedly disposed on the bracket 2, a commutator plate 312 rotatably mounted on the bracket 2 and driven to rotate by the first drive device 311, and a second drive device 313 disposed on the commutator plate 312, wherein the base 32 is rotatably mounted on the commutator plate 312 and driven to rotate by the second drive device 313; the base 32 is detachably disposed on the commutator plate 312.
[0025] See Figure 2 The first drive device 311 can be either a servo motor or a rotary cylinder, and the second drive device 313 can be either a servo motor or a rotary cylinder. The commutator plate 312 has a horizontal portion and a vertical portion connected to each other. The horizontal portion of the commutator plate 312 is driven to rotate by the first drive device 311, and the vertical portion of the commutator plate 312 is disposed on the outer periphery of the bracket 2. When the first portion of the commutator plate 312 is driven, the second drive device 313 disposed on the vertical portion of the commutator plate 312, the base 32, and the antenna 4 all rotate around the bracket 2. The second drive device 313 is disposed on the vertical portion of the commutator plate 312 on the side closer to the bracket 2, and the base 32 and the antenna 4 are disposed on the vertical portion of the commutator plate 312 on the side farther from the bracket 2.
[0026] Specifically, when adjusting the signal transmission angle of antenna 4, the first driving device 311 can be used to control the horizontal part of the commutator 312 to rotate circumferentially. After the antenna 4 rotates around the bracket 2 to the predetermined position, the control of the first driving device 311 is stopped. Then, the second driving device 313 is used to control the antenna 4 to change from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, or from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction, so as to further adjust the transmission angle of antenna 4 and improve the accuracy of voltage standing wave ratio test data.
[0027] In one or more embodiments, a first limiting block 5 is disposed at a first position of the commutator plate 312, and a second limiting block 6 is disposed at a second position of the commutator plate 312; when the base 32 drives the antenna 4 to move to a vertical state, the base 32 is stopped and limited by the first limiting block 5, and when the base 32 drives the antenna 4 to move to a horizontal state, the base 32 is stopped and limited by the second limiting block 6; the first limiting block 5 and the second limiting block 6 are detachably disposed on the base 32.
[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The position of the base 32 is restricted by the first limiting block 5 and the second limiting block 6, so that the antenna 4 can remain absolutely vertical or absolutely horizontal on the vertical part of the commutator plate 312, thereby further improving the accuracy of the signal transmission angle of the antenna 4. In addition, the first limiting block 5 and the second limiting block 6 are detachably configured on the base 32 by bolts, which can remove the restriction of the first limiting block 5 and the second limiting block 6 on the base 32, allowing the antenna 4 mounted on the base 32 to have more transmission angles, thereby improving the detection range of this application.
[0029] In one or more embodiments, a clamping structure is provided on the base 32, and the antenna 4 is mounted on the base 32 through the clamping structure. The clamping structure is not shown in the attached figure. The clamping structure can be a clamp, a clip, etc., and there is no specific limitation. With this setting, the antenna 4 can be quickly installed and removed from the base 32, thereby improving the testing efficiency of voltage standing wave ratio.
[0030] In one or more embodiments, the bracket 2 and the base 32 are made of rigid plastic.
[0031] In one or more embodiments, it further includes an outer frame 7 with a frame-like structure, the outer frame 7 being disposed on the side of the linear module 1; the outer frame 7 having a counterweight on the side away from the linear module 1; and rollers being disposed at the bottom of the outer frame 7.
[0032] See Figure 2 The counterweights on the outer frame 7 can balance the overall center of gravity of this application and ensure the stability of the antenna 4 during detection. The rollers at the bottom of the outer frame 7 can facilitate the movement of the outer frame 7, thereby further improving the efficiency of adjusting the position of the antenna 4.
[0033] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
