Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a Van Atta array based dielectric constant measurement system is provided, comprising a measurement antenna array, a VanAtta array, and a dielectric constant calculation device.
The measurement antenna array is arranged in a far field area of the VanAtta array and used for transmitting a measurement signal by using a preset frequency and polarization mode, receiving a reflection signal of the measurement signal after the measurement signal is acted by an object to be measured and reflected by the VanAtta array, and sending the reflection signal to dielectric constant calculation equipment.
The VanAtta array and the measuring antenna array are arranged oppositely, the aperture of the VanAtta array is larger than the diameter of an object to be measured, the working frequency and the polarization mode of the VanAtta array are set according to a measuring signal, and a backtracking directional diagram of the Van Atta array covers the measuring antenna array.
The dielectric constant calculation equipment is connected with the measurement antenna array, receives a reflection signal of a measurement signal sent by the measurement antenna array, and calculates the dielectric constant of the object to be measured according to the reflection signal.
Specifically, the measuring antenna array in the system comprises a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna. The transmitting antenna is used for transmitting a measuring signal, and the receiving antenna is used for receiving a reflected signal after the action of an object to be measured and the reflection of the VanAtta array. The frequency of the measuring signal can be preset according to the test requirement, and theoretically can be any electromagnetic frequency band.
The indexes of the Van Atta array are set according to the frequency, the polarization mode and the measurement range of the measurement antenna array, the size of an object to be measured and the like. According to the working principle of the Van Atta array, the Van Atta array can be regarded as a transmitting antenna array, the working frequency lambda and the polarization mode of an array element of the Van Atta array are determined according to the frequency and the polarization mode of a measuring signal transmitted by the measuring antenna array, and the size of the array element can be equivalent to the half wavelength of the working frequency lambda under the general condition; the aperture D of the whole Van Atta array is generally larger than the diameter of the object to be measured, and the object to be measured can be positioned in a far field region (Freund's charge-discharge region) of the Van Atta array, namely the aperture D of the Van Atta array needs to meet the requirement

Wherein R is the distance between the Van Atta array and the object to be measured. The width of the Van Atta array backtracking directional diagram is determined according to the measurement antenna array, namely the antenna measurement range of the measurement antenna array needs to be covered, and the width of the backtracking directional diagram of the Van Atta array can be adjusted by adjusting the beam width of the array elements and setting the proper array element spacing.
In use, a dielectric constant measurement system based on a Van Atta array is typically placed in a microwave dark room. Because the actual test system differs from the numerical model, the system needs to be calibrated by using a standard calibration object before testing, and a calibration coefficient c is obtained:

When the measurement is carried out, an object to be measured is placed in a far field area of the VanAtta array, and a measurement antenna array is used for transmitting a measurement signal at preset frequency, a preset polarization mode and preset duration. The measuring antenna array receives a reflected signal acted by the object to be measured and reflected by the VanAtta array, and calculates the dielectric constant of the object to be measured according to the reflected signal. Specifically, the measured S-parameters are converted to field values using a calibration matrix. The emission mode of the measurement signal during measurement can be divided into two categories according to the realization form of the measurement antenna array: firstly, through a plurality of antenna arrays, a single antenna is adopted to transmit measurement signals in turn, and reflected signals received by all the antennas are tested; secondly, a single antenna receives the reflected signals at different positions for many times to form a virtual equivalent antenna receiving array. The measuring antenna array should be located in the far field region of the VanAtta array scattered field when receiving the reflected signal.
The dielectric constant calculation equipment calculates the dielectric constant of the object to be measured by using an inverse scattering algorithm, wherein the inverse scattering algorithm can be a BORN algorithm, a filtering backward propagation method, a BORN iteration method, a contrast source method and the like. In the calculation process, the Van Atta array can be regarded as a boundary condition with backtracking and phase delay functions.
The Van Atta array parameter is set according to the size of the object to be measured and the measurement antenna array parameter, the object to be measured is placed in the far field of the Van Atta array and is positioned between the measurement antenna array and the Van Atta array which are oppositely arranged, the backtracking function of the Van Atta array on electromagnetic waves is utilized, the measurement signal acted by the object to be measured is automatically reflected to the position of the measurement antenna array, for the objects to be measured with different structures and materials, the energy and the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflection signal received by the measurement antenna array can be ensured, and the measurement precision of the system is higher and more stable.

One embodiment of the method further comprises a measuring antenna array switch array used for controlling the time of transmitting the measuring signal of the antenna in the measuring antenna array. Specifically, the antennas in the measurement antenna array can be independently controlled individually or in groups by the measurement antenna array switch array according to the system measurement requirements, so as to control the switch state of each (group) of antennas, adjust the transmission duration of the test signal, and adapt to different test requirements.

Commercial instruments such as impedance analyzers or self-developed electromagnetic transceiver systems may also be used in place of the vector network analyzer.
In one embodiment, the antenna type of the measurement antenna array can be horn antenna, patch antenna, slot antenna, helical antenna, yagi-uda antenna and other common antennas and arrays thereof; preferably, wideband and non-frequency varying antennas such as bicone, cone, discone and bow-tie antennas and arrays thereof for dielectric constant measurements may be employed. The measuring antenna array also comprises probes for receiving the reflected signals, wherein the probes comprise a coaxial probe with an opening at a terminal, a non-uniform coaxial probe, an anisotropic probe and the like, so that the small and thin object to be measured can be measured.
In one embodiment, the array elements in the Van Atta array are low-profile structures or three-dimensional structures, such as broadband antenna forms like helical antennas, to implement backward reflection in a wider frequency band. Among them, the Van Atta array applied to probe measurement generally uses a low-profile form to match the characteristic of a small radiation field range of the probe.

Step 404, using the dielectric constant calculation device to receive the reflected signal of the measurement signal sent by the measurement antenna array, and calculating the dielectric constant of the object to be measured according to the reflected signal.
