[0022] Figure 1 It is the structure connection schematic diagram of the electromagnetic compatibility evaluation equipment provided by the application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to exemplary drawings. Where the description refers to the accompanying drawings, same numerals in different drawings refer to same or similar elements unless otherwise noted. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0024] The electromagnetic compatibility evaluation device of the utility model realizes efficient and accurate evaluation of the electromagnetic compatibility of weak current equipment through modular design and precise signal control technology. Figure 1 As shown in the accompanying drawings, the device mainly comprises a data processing module 1, a signal generator module 2, a low-frequency amplifier 3, a high-frequency amplifier 4, a combining unit 5, a power module 6, a shielding frame 7 and a machine frame 8. The modules are interconnected through standardized interfaces to form a complete signal generation, amplification, synthesis and test link.
[0025] The data processing module 1 is connected to the control interface of the signal generator module 2 through a Type-C interface 12, and is used to send control instructions to the signal generator module 2.
[0026] The signal generator module 2 adopts a multi-band vector signal generator, which comprises a first output interface 21 and a second output interface 22. The first output interface 21 is connected to the input interface 41 of the high-frequency amplifier 4 through an SMA-K interface, and the second output interface 22 is connected to the radio frequency input interface 31 of the low-frequency amplifier 3 through an SMA-K interface. Exemplarily, the model of the signal generator module is Keysight N5183B, which supports a wide frequency band of 0.1 MHz to 6 GHz and integrates multiple modulation modes such as FSK, 4FSK, DQPSK, GMSK and QPSK. Through the Type-C interface 12 of the data processing module 1, control instructions can be sent to flexibly configure the frequency, modulation type and initial power of the signal. For example, when simulating the interference of rail transit wireless communication, low-frequency (500 MHz, QPSK modulation) and high-frequency (2.4 GHz, FSK modulation) signals can be generated at the same time to fully cover the complex interference spectrum in the actual scene. This design significantly improves the diversity and authenticity of interference simulation, ensuring that the compatibility of the device under test under different frequency bands and modulation conditions can be verified.
[0027] The low-frequency amplifier 3 and the high-frequency amplifier 4 are independently designed, and the amplification circuits are optimized for different frequency bands:
[0028] Based on Class AB linear amplification technology, the exemplary Mini-Circuits ZHL-20W-13+ achieves 20dB~40dB gain in the 0.1MHz~1GHz frequency band, with a maximum output power of 20W and a harmonic distortion of ≤-40dBc, ensuring the fidelity of the amplified low-frequency signal.
[0029] The high-frequency amplifier 4 uses a GaN HEMT power amplifier (model: Qorvo QPA2211) to provide 25dB~45dB gain in the 1GHz~6GHz frequency band, with a maximum output power of 50W, supporting high-stability amplification of high-frequency signals.
[0030] The separation design of the two avoids inter-band crosstalk, and combined with independent power control function, it can accurately simulate the strength and spectral characteristics of actual interference signals, providing a guarantee for the credibility of the evaluation results.
[0031] The combining unit 5 uses a dual-channel combiner (model: Anaren 4203) to combine the low-frequency and high-frequency signals into a composite interference signal through a microstrip coupler, and outputs it to the device under test through an N-type interface 53. This unit supports phase synchronization and impedance matching (50Ω) of two input signals, ensuring that the synthesized signal is distortion-free. This design enables the device to simultaneously simulate complex interference scenarios with multiple frequency bands superimposed, such as a train being simultaneously interfered by wireless communication signals and power harmonics, significantly improving the coverage of the test scenario.
[0032] The shielding frame 7 is made of double-layer aluminum-magnesium alloy (thickness 1.5mm), with the inner wall coated with conductive paint (surface resistance ≤0.1Ω / sq), and shielding effectiveness ≥60dB (according to MIL-STD-285 standard). The internal layout is layered:
[0033] Upper layer: fixed signal generator module 2, to avoid the influence of mechanical vibration on signal stability.
[0034] Lower layer: install amplifier 3 and amplifier 4 and combining unit 5, isolated from the upper layer by a 3mm metal partition, reducing electromagnetic coupling between modules.
[0035] Combined with the metal frame of the machine frame 8 and the conductive coating (resistivity ≤10^4Ω·cm), a double shielding system is formed, effectively blocking external environmental interference and internal signal leakage, ensuring the purity of the test environment.
[0036] The power module 6 uses a programmable switching power supply (model: TDK-Lambda GENESYS+ 1.5kW) with built-in overvoltage, overcurrent and short circuit protection circuits, including output interface 61, output interface 62 and input interface 63, and providing independent power supply for each module:
[0037] - Data processing module 1: 5V DC, supports low-power operation.
[0038] - Signal generator module 2: 12V DC, ensures signal generation stability.
[0039] - Amplifier 3 and amplifier 4: 24V DC, meets high-power output requirements.
[0040] This embodiment combines multiple protection mechanisms with hot-swappable functionality, not only extending device lifespan but also allowing for replacement of faulty modules without downtime, significantly improving test efficiency and device reliability.
[0041] The data processing module 1 is configured with a 7-inch touch screen, such as the Wintech MT8071iE, providing an intuitive human-machine interface that supports the following operations:
[0042] 1. Dynamic parameter adjustment: Real-time setting of interference signal frequency, modulation method, and output power, such as adjusting low-frequency signals to 800MHz (DQPSK modulation, 15W) and high-frequency signals to 5GHz (GMSK modulation, 40W).
[0043] 2. Data visualization: Displaying real-time spectrum graphs, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and bit error rate (BER) curves to assist in quickly locating compatibility issues.
[0044] 3. Report generation: Automatically analyzing measured device response data through built-in algorithms to output evaluation reports containing key indicators such as interference thresholds and failure frequency bands.
[0045] This intelligent design significantly simplifies the operation process, reduces human intervention errors, and improves test result analysis efficiency and traceability.
[0046] Through the above technical solutions, the device of the utility model exhibits significant advantages in the following scenarios:
[0047] - Rail transit control system testing: Simulating multi-band interference between trains and ground communication equipment to verify signal transmission stability.
[0048] - Industrial Internet of Things device evaluation: Testing the anti-interference capability of wireless sensors in complex electromagnetic environments.
[0049] - Medical electronic device certification: Accurately evaluating the electromagnetic impact of high-frequency medical devices (such as MRI) on surrounding weak current equipment.
[0050] Actual tests show that the device can control bit error rate measurement error within 0.1% (EN 50121-3-2 standard), with stable shielding effectiveness ≥60dB, fully meeting high-precision and high-reliability test requirements.
[0051] In summary, the utility model through modular architecture, frequency division signal processing and composite shielding technology, the core structure of electromagnetic compatibility evaluation equipment is expanded to the complete scheme which can be implemented. The detailed design of each dependent claim (such as multi-band signal generation, independent amplification, intelligent interaction, etc.) not only solves the limitations of traditional equipment, but also significantly improves the test efficiency, accuracy and environmental adaptability through the technical synergy effect, providing a standardized and industrial solution for the electromagnetic compatibility evaluation of weak current equipment.
