The invention discloses a method of rapidly calibrating power of a high-precision
radiofrequency signal source; the method comprises the steps of S1, allowing a control computer to control, through
Ethernet, a
broadband radiofrequency signal source to be calibrated to output single-tone signals having different frequencies and powers; S2, allowing the control computer to read, through the
Ethernet, power measurement results in a calibration
spectrometer; S3, allowing the control computer to set output
signal frequency and output power for the
radiofrequency signal source; allowing the calibration
spectrometer to measure the frequency and power of an output
signal and reports to the control computer through the
Ethernet; allowing the control computer compares the set power value with the measured value of the
spectrometer; when the output power precision of the radiofrequency
signal source is unsatisfactory, allowing the control computer to adjust the output power of the radiofrequency
signal source by means of combined radiofrequency
gain and digital
gain adaptive spacing search method until the test result of the spectrometer is satisfactory or test is time out, and recording final
power setting parameters of the radiofrequency
signal source. Compared with
linear search methods, the adaptive spacing search method has lower calibration load and greatly shorter calibration time under wide-range
frequency domain coverage.
