[0002] Most existing point-frequency microwave circuits on the market output a fixed frequency and lack adjustable output frequency functionality. Typically, the signal generator uses an active crystal oscillator to output a fixed point-frequency signal. This signal is first amplified by a driver amplifier, and then sent to a final amplifier to output a high-power signal. Finally, the signal passes through a harmonic suppression filter circuit to filter out the second and third harmonics, ensuring that the final output is a high-power, clean point-frequency signal.

Inter-stage matching is simulated using ADS (a microwave circuit and communication system simulation tool). When the input signal enters the first low-pass filter, high-frequency components are filtered out, retaining only low-frequency components.

This design combination achieves no change in signal phase, strong noise immunity, strong high-frequency suppression, low in-band insertion loss, and low ripple. Subsequently, the resonant frequency can be changed by controlling the adjustable resistors to divide the +5V voltage and apply it to the first diode D1 (varactor diode) of each adjustable resistor module, thus achieving frequency adjustment.

The second terminal of the second adjustable resistor RL2 and the positive terminal of the Zener diode D2 are grounded.
[0092] The second terminal of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the first terminal of the thirteenth capacitor C13 and the control circuit through the eleventh inductor L11. The second terminal of the thirteenth capacitor C13 is grounded.
[0093] The control circuit is connected to the microcontroller 17, receives control signals, and is connected to the amplifier circuit to adjust the working state of the amplifier circuit according to the control signals.
[0094] An amplifier circuit includes multiple transformers, inductors, capacitors, resistors, and diodes for signal amplification and filtering. The use of transformers provides good signal isolation, reducing interference during signal transmission.
[0095] In one implementation, amplifier U3 is an NXP LDMOS amplifier U3, operating at a frequency of 1.8MHz-2GHz, capable of outputting 25W in the 30-512MHz range, with an actual gain of 17.1dB. This circuit uses the same chip to drive both the power amplifier and the final stage power amplifier, producing a 25W power output after two stages of amplification. The quiescent operating point of the power amplifier chip can be set by adjusting the second adjustable resistor RL2.
[0096] Specifically, the control circuit includes: a first transistor Q1, a second transistor Q2, a tenth resistor R10, and an eleventh resistor R11;
[0097] The first terminal of the thirteenth capacitor C13 is connected to the first terminal of the second transistor Q2. The second terminal of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the first terminal of the twelfth resistor R12. The control terminal of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the second terminal of the twelfth resistor R12 and the first terminal of the eleventh resistor R11. The second terminal of the eleventh resistor R11 is connected to the first terminal of the first transistor Q1. The second terminal of the first transistor Q1 is grounded. The control terminal of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the microcontroller 17.
[0098] The control terminal of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the I / O port SW-VG1 of the microcontroller 17 to control the input level at that point. The circuit uses the first transistor Q1, specifically an NMOS (N-Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor), and the second transistor Q2, specifically a PMOS (positive-channel Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor). When SW-VG1 receives a high-level input, the first transistor Q1 turns on, and its first terminal is grounded (GND). The VDD voltage is directly applied to the second terminal of the second transistor Q2. After being divided by the tenth resistor R10 and the eleventh resistor R11, the second transistor Q2 also turns on, and the VDD voltage is applied to the VG gate of the power amplifier U3, thereby controlling the operating state of the amplifier U3.
[0099] If the temperature detection circuit detects that the temperature is too high, it will communicate with the microcontroller 17 via the I / O port. After receiving the instruction, the microcontroller 17 will lower the level of SW-VG1, causing VG to have no output, and the power amplifier will stop working, thus realizing the function of the protection circuit.
[0100] According to the above embodiments, in one specific embodiment, the power module 16 includes a first step-down circuit 161, a second step-down circuit 162, and two dual-channel step-down circuits 163.
[0101] The power supply is connected to the input terminal of the first step-down circuit 161, the output terminal of the first step-down circuit 161 is connected to the input terminal of the second step-down circuit 162, the output terminal of the second step-down circuit 162 is connected to the input terminals of the two dual-channel step-down circuits 163 respectively, and the four output terminals of the two dual-channel step-down circuits 163 serve as power output terminals.
[0102] Figure 7 A circuit diagram of a power module 16 provided for this utility model is shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the +50V input voltage is converted to +24V by the first buck circuit 161. Then, the +24V voltage is converted again by the second buck circuit 162 to obtain a +5V output. This +5V voltage is supplied to two dual-channel buck circuits 163 (low-dropout linear regulators), enabling the U7 module to generate two +3.3V power outputs. The U8 module's VOUT1 generates +3.3V, and VOUT2 generates +1.8V, with different buck conversion conditions set according to the actual power supply requirements.
[0103] Specifically, both low-dropout linear regulators utilize the same model, the ADP223ACPZ-R7 linear regulator. The ADP223ACPZ-R7 is renowned for its low-noise characteristics, ensuring power output stability and effectively reducing potential interference to electronic equipment. Simultaneously, its high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) allows the output voltage to remain stable even when the input voltage fluctuates, significantly improving the power supply's immunity to interference. This characteristic is particularly important for the phase-locked loop (PLL), as it ensures greater stability of the PLL's output signal in both frequency and phase, thereby enhancing the overall circuit performance and reliability.
[0104] Specifically, the microcontroller 17 is connected to the phase-locked loop 12 through a level conversion circuit.
[0105] The microcontroller 17 operates at a high level of 3.3V logic, while the phase-locked loop 12 chip may only be compatible with a 1.8V control logic level. Directly connecting the I / O port of the microcontroller 17 to the pin of the phase-locked loop 12 chip may cause a level mismatch, which may lead to communication failure or chip damage. In order to solve the level incompatibility problem, a level conversion circuit is added. Figure 8 A circuit diagram of a level conversion circuit provided by this utility model is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the microcontroller's 17IO generates 0-3.3V high and low levels, which are converted to 0-1.8V via U9 and output to the various pins of the phase-locked loop (PLL) 12 chip for communication. Integer / fractional frequency division is implemented through the configuration register to ensure a stable differential signal output from the PLL 12. After passing through a balun, the differential signal achieves impedance conversion between the input and output ports, effectively reducing signal reflection and interference, thereby improving the quality and stability of signal transmission.
[0106] Finally, this application also provides a point frequency source, including the aforementioned power-frequency adjustable microwave circuit. The output frequency signal of the phase-locked loop 12 is adjusted by the microcontroller 17, and the capacitance value of the varactor diode is changed by controlling the voltage of the varactor diode, thereby changing the resonant frequency of the circuit to adjust the output signal range. The magnitude of the output signal is adjusted by the digital attenuator 15, thus meeting the needs of different application scenarios. By combining the voltage-controlled oscillator module 11, the phase-locked loop 12, the adjustable filter module 13, and the microcontroller 17, precise adjustment of the microwave signal output frequency and power is achieved.
