[0040] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0041] Reference Figure 1-8 A simulation experimental device for communication principle channels includes a housing 1, a signal generation module 11, a channel simulation module 12, a signal receiving and analysis module 13, a control and display module 14, a support frame 2, two lifting plates 3, multiple casters 21, and a damping shaft 33.
[0042] The signal generation module 11, the channel simulation module 12, and the signal receiving and analysis module 13 are all located inside the housing 1, and the control and display module 14 is located on the front side of the housing 1.
[0043] The signal generation module 11 consists of a signal generator 111 and a waveform modulator 112. The signal generator 111 can generate basic signals such as sine waves, square waves, and triangular waves, and its frequency and amplitude can be adjusted according to experimental requirements. The waveform modulator 112 supports common modulation methods such as amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and phase modulation (PM), and can modulate the basic signals generated by the signal generator 111 accordingly to generate different types of communication signals, providing diverse input signals for subsequent channel simulation.
[0044] The channel simulation module 12 includes an attenuator 121, a filter 122, a noise generator 123, and a delay unit 124.

[0045] The signal receiving and analysis module 13 consists of a demodulator 131, an oscilloscope 132, and a spectrum analyzer 133.

The operation panel 141 provides a human-machine interface, through which the experimenter can input control commands to set various parameters of the signal generation module 11, the channel simulation module 12, and the signal receiving and analysis module 13. The display screen 142 is used to display various parameters in real time during the experiment, such as signal frequency, amplitude, attenuation, noise intensity, etc., as well as the final experimental results, such as the demodulated signal waveform and spectrum analysis results, making the experimental process and results more intuitive and clear.
[0047] Both lifting plates 3 are mounted on the support frame 2. The support frame 2 has two guide grooves. L-shaped plates 31 are fixedly installed on the side of the two lifting plates 3 that are close to each other. The two L-shaped plates 31 are slidably installed in the corresponding guide grooves. Guide plates 32 are fixedly installed in the two guide grooves. The two L-shaped plates 31 are slidably connected to the corresponding guide plates 32, which can make the lifting plates 3 slide stably along the support frame 2 and prevent the lifting plates 3 from disengaging from the support frame 2.
[0048] The housing 1 is movably attached to the support frame 2. The damping shaft 33 is rotatably mounted on the top side of the upper lifting plate 3 and fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1. Fixed seats 4 are fixedly mounted on the side of the two lifting plates 3 that are close to each other. Sliding seats 41 are slidably mounted on the side of the two lifting plates 3 that are close to each other. Two upper support blocks 431 are fixedly mounted on the bottom side of the upper lifting plate 3. The same lead screw 43 is rotatably mounted on the two upper support blocks 431. An adjusting motor 44 is fixedly mounted on one of the upper support blocks 431. The output shaft of the adjusting motor 44 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 43. The lead screw 43 is threadedly connected to the upper sliding seat 41. Support rods 42 are hingedly mounted on the front and rear sides of the two fixed seats 4. The four support rods 42 are respectively hingedly mounted on the corresponding sliding seats 41, which can control the lifting and lowering of the housing 1 as needed, and at the same time provide stable support for it.
[0049] Multiple casters 21 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 2 to assist the device in moving. Multiple support legs 301 are fixedly installed on the bottom side of the lower lifting plate 3 to support the device in the working state.
[0050] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the lower sliding seat 41 maintains stable sliding, two lower support blocks 451 are fixedly installed on the top side of the lower lifting plate 3. The same guide rod 45, which is slidably connected to the lower sliding seat 41, is fixedly installed on the two lower support blocks 451.
[0051] In this embodiment, in order to enable the support frame 2 to move upward when the control box 1 is lifted, so that the caster wheel 21 can be lifted off the ground and the multiple support legs 301 can provide stable support for the device, the same fixed shaft is rotatably mounted on the four support rods 42, and the front and rear ends of the fixed shaft are fixedly connected to the support frame 2.
[0052] The circuits, electronic components, and module mechanisms involved all employ existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need no further explanation. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software, circuits, or methods.
[0053] Working principle: In use, firstly, the basic signal type, frequency, and amplitude of the signal generator 111 in the signal generation module 11, as well as the modulation method of the waveform modulator 112, are set through the operation panel 141 to generate the required communication signal. Then, according to the actual simulation requirements, the attenuation amount of the attenuator 121 in the channel simulation module 12 is set on the operation panel 141, the type of the filter 122 is selected, the noise intensity of the noise generator 123 and the delay time of the delay unit 124 are adjusted to simulate the transmission of the signal in the channel. After that, the demodulator 131 of the signal receiving and analysis module 13 demodulates the signal after the channel simulation, the oscilloscope 132 observes the time domain waveform of the signal, and the spectrum analyzer 133 analyzes the signal spectrum characteristics. These experimental data and results are displayed on the display screen 142 in real time.
[0054] When it is necessary to move the device, use the casters 21 to push the device to the appropriate position. Once the device is in position, brake the casters 21 (self-locking casters can be used), which can ensure the stability of the device and facilitate the operator's experimental operation.
[0055] Since different operators have different heights, operating habits, and suitable operating heights, the device can be adjusted to a suitable operating height before the experiment. That is, when the device height needs to be adjusted, the adjustment motor 44 is started. The adjustment motor 44 drives the lead screw 43 to rotate, so that the sliding seat 41 moves on the lead screw 43. Through the support rod 42, the lifting plate 3 is raised and lowered, thereby adjusting the height of the box 1. During the height adjustment process, the guide rod 45 and the guide plate 32 ensure the stable sliding of the sliding seat 41 and the lifting plate 3. At the same time, since the four support rods 42 are rotatably installed on the same fixed shaft, and this fixed shaft is fixed on the support frame 1, the upper and lower lifting plates 3 can move in opposite directions when the height is adjusted. This not only raises the box 1 to a suitable operating height, but also allows the support leg 301 to replace the universal wheel 21 to provide support for the device.
[0056] The present invention provides a detailed description of a simulation experimental device for communication principle channels. Specific embodiments have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. These embodiments are merely illustrative and are intended to aid in understanding the method and core concepts of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
