[0025] As an example, see the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, to solve the above technical problems, this embodiment provides a simple ultra-wideband detection device, including a microstrip line, a first detection circuit, a second detection circuit, and a PCB board; both the first and second detection circuits are mounted on the PCB board; the input port of the microstrip line is connected to the input port of the radio frequency signal, and the output port of the microstrip line is connected to the physiotherapy probe;
[0026] The first detection circuit includes a first attenuation circuit, a first coupling port, a second coupling port, a first isolation terminal absorption load circuit, and a first detection diode; the cathode of the first detection diode is electrically connected to the output terminal of the first detection circuit; the anode of the first detection diode is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first attenuation circuit, the second terminal of the first attenuation circuit is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first coupling port, the second terminal of the first coupling port is electrically connected to one terminal of the first isolation terminal absorption load circuit, and the other terminal of the first isolation terminal absorption load circuit is grounded;

The cathode of the first detector diode D1 is connected to the ninth resistor R9, and the cathode of the second detector diode D2 is connected to the tenth resistor R10.
[0039] Optionally, the air medium on the microstrip line is a briquette of polyetheretherketone (PEEK).
[0040] In practical applications, the dielectric constant of the PCB board is 3.48.

This simplifies the installation structure and enables ultra-wideband detection.
[0041] Simulation parameters are attached. Figure 3 The simulation shown uses a dielectric compaction block. The vertical axis represents insertion loss in dB, and the horizontal axis represents frequency in GHz. (See attached diagram.) Figure 3 In (a) above, S31 represents the insertion loss of the fourth coupling port, and S32 represents the insertion loss of the third coupling port; as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 In (b) of the diagram, S33 represents the insertion loss of the first coupling port, and S34 represents the insertion loss of the second coupling port; as shown in the appendix.

The approximately 0.13 dB difference in S35 indicates that the coupler has low insertion loss.
[0043] The PCB material is Rogers-Ro4350 with a dielectric constant of 3.48, and the microstrip line is simulated with air as the dielectric. The simulation results show that the differences between S31 and S32, as well as between S38 and S39, are significantly lower in the 0.5GHz to 7.0GHz frequency band than when there is a dielectric block. At 7.0GHz, there is only 3dB of directivity, which cannot be used in actual projects.
[0044] This invention employs a dielectric block press-fit microstrip line structure, simplifying the assembly process and reducing volume; the use of PEEK material press blocks enables excellent detection performance under ultra-wideband conditions; furthermore, the adoption of a three-wire coupling method improves product stability.
