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.
The impedance matching adjusting method applied to the radio frequency power supply can be applied to the application environments shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2. Wherein, the radio frequency power supply system 102 communicates with the server 104 through a network; the method is used for solving the problem that the power loss of the radio frequency power supply is large. The radio frequency power supply system 102 includes an impedance matching network, a load, a directional coupler, an amplitude-phase measurement chip, and a control module. The server 104 may be implemented as a stand-alone server or as a server cluster comprised of multiple servers.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, an impedance matching adjusting method applied to a radio frequency power supply is provided, which is described by taking as an example that the method is applied to the radio frequency power supply system 102 in fig. 1, where the radio frequency power supply system 102 includes an impedance matching network, a load, a directional coupler, an amplitude and phase measurement chip, and a control module. The impedance matching network, the load, the directional coupler, the amplitude and phase measuring chip and the control module are electrically connected, as shown in fig. 5, the impedance matching adjusting method applied to the radio frequency power supply specifically comprises the following steps:
s10: incident waves and reflected waves between an impedance matching network and a load in a radio frequency power supply system are collected.
Since the transmission of radio frequency power is a wave process, when the impedances at the two ends of the line are not equal, the radio frequency wave will be reflected, thereby reducing the transmission efficiency. In the prior art, a servo stepper motor is mainly used to change the capacitance value of a capacitor or the inductance value of an inductor in an impedance matching network. Specifically, on one hand, the capacitance value of the capacitor in the impedance matching network is changed by mainly changing the distance between two polar plates of the capacitor, but the adjustment method has extremely high precision requirement on the servo stepping motor, and has high cost, small adjustable range and low adjustment speed; or, the value of the capacitor is changed by controlling the number of the parallel capacitors, but the adjusting process of the method is not smooth enough, the design requirement on the capacitance value is high, and the complicated and variable load conditions are difficult to deal with. On the other hand, the method for changing the inductance value of the inductor in the impedance matching network mainly determines the number of the inductors connected in series through the on and off of the switching tubes, but the adjusting method also has the problem that the adjusting process is not smooth, and the peak problem may occur in the switching-on and switching-off process of the switch because the inductor current cannot change suddenly.
In view of the above, the present application adopts an X-type impedance matching network and a variable capacitance method to change the impedance of the impedance matching network, so that the total impedance of the load and the impedance matching network is consistent with the input impedance, thereby achieving the purpose of impedance matching.
Specifically, the incident wave and the reflected wave between the impedance matching network and the load are first collected by two directional couplers. Preferably, the directional coupler is a three-winding transformer structure. Illustratively, the directional coupler may collect the incident wave and the reflected wave by collecting the transmission signal and the reflected signal on a transmission line between the impedance matching network and the load.
S20: and acquiring an amplitude difference signal and a phase angle difference signal between the incident wave and the reflected wave.
After collecting incident waves and reflected waves between an impedance matching network and a load in a radio frequency power supply system, a directional coupler inputs the collected incident waves and reflected waves into an amplitude-phase measurement chip, judges whether the collected incident waves and the collected reflected waves are the same or not by adopting the amplitude-phase measurement chip, if the collected incident waves and the collected reflected waves are different, acquires an amplitude difference value and a phase angle difference value between the incident waves and the reflected waves, and converts the amplitude difference value and the phase angle difference value into an amplitude difference value signal V MAG And phase angle difference signal V PHS . In one embodiment, the calculation formula of the amplitude difference signal and the phase angle difference signal is as follows:
wherein, V SLP And V Φ As a slope, V can be obtained from FIG. 3 INA And V INB The power of incident wave and reflected wave, respectively, needs to be converted into dBm unit, phi (V) INA ) Is the phase angle of the incident wave, phi (V) INB ) Is the phase angle of the reflected wave, if the incident wave and the reflected wave are the same, then V MAG =0,V PHS =0; if the incident wave and the reflected wave are different, V MAG Is not equal to 0 and V PHS Not equal to 0. The amplitude and phase measuring chip has various options, and the AD8302 is preferably adopted in the embodiment of the application. Because the amplitude-phase measuring chip has a certain range limit to the intensity of the input signal, the directional coupling is realizedAn attenuation network is connected between the device and the amplitude and phase measuring chip and used for reducing the signal intensity, for example, the amplitude and phase measuring chip AD8302 requires the range of input signals to be-60-0 dBm, the input signal intensity is controlled in the range by the attenuation network, and the attenuation network has forms of T type, pi type and the like
S30: and generating a capacitance control signal according to the amplitude difference signal and the amplitude difference signal.
The capacitance control signal is a signal capable of controlling and changing the capacitance value of the capacitor. In the present embodiment, the capacitance control signal is preferably a capacitance control voltage. After obtaining an amplitude difference signal and a phase angle difference signal between the incident wave and the reflected wave, the amplitude-phase measurement chip sends the amplitude difference signal and the phase angle difference signal to the control module, and the control module calculates and generates a capacitance control signal according to the amplitude difference signal and the amplitude difference signal after receiving the amplitude difference signal and the amplitude difference signal. Preferably, the control module is a single chip microcomputer module, and the selectable models of the single chip microcomputer module include but are not limited to a 51 single chip microcomputer, an STM32 single chip microcomputer, an MSP430 single chip microcomputer, a TMS single chip microcomputer and the like.
S40: adjusting a capacitance value of at least one adjustable capacitor in the impedance matching network by the capacitance control signal; the impedance matching network is a midpoint connection type X-type impedance matching network.
After the capacitance control signal is determined, the capacitance control signal is applied to at least one adjustable capacitance in the impedance matching network to adjust a capacitance value of the at least one adjustable capacitance in the impedance matching network. In this embodiment, the impedance matching network is a midpoint connection type X-type impedance matching network, and the impedance matching network includes at least one adjustable capacitor, and each adjustable capacitor can be adjusted as needed. The impedance matching network in the application can be understood by adopting the middle-point connection type X-type impedance matching network, the number of adjustable capacitors in the X-type impedance matching network is increased, compared with the traditional pi-type impedance matching network, L-type impedance matching network or gamma-type impedance matching network, the number of adjustable inductors and adjustable capacitors in the middle-point connection type X-type impedance matching network is more, when impedance matching is realized, when the capacitance value of one adjustable capacitor is not enough to realize impedance matching, the capacitance values of other adjustable capacitors can be adjusted, so that the requirement of impedance matching is met, and the adjustment range of impedance is expanded.
S50: adjusting the impedance of the impedance matching network based on the adjusted at least one adjustable capacitance.
Because the impedance matching network mainly comprises the adjustable inductor and the adjustable capacitor, and the impedance of the impedance matching network mainly depends on the inductance value of the adjustable inductor and the capacitance value of the adjustable capacitor, after the capacitance value of at least one adjustable capacitor in the impedance matching network is adjusted through the capacitance control signal, the impedance of the impedance matching network can be changed along with the adjustment, so that the total impedance of the load and the matching network is consistent with the input impedance, and the purpose of impedance matching is further achieved.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 4 below, the tunable capacitor includes a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and a third metal layer, a first capacitor region is formed between the first metal layer and the third metal layer, a second capacitor region is formed between the second metal layer and the third metal layer, the first capacitor region is provided with a dielectric medium with a first dielectric constant, the second capacitor region is provided with a dielectric medium with a second dielectric constant, and the second dielectric constant is greater than the first dielectric constant; capacitance value, C, of the tunable capacitor AB Is the capacitance size of the first capacitance interval, C BC The capacitance is the capacitance of the second capacitance interval.
The first capacitor interval is formed by matching a first metal layer and a second metal layer which are at least partially overlapped in projection in the longitudinal direction, when voltage is applied between the first metal layer and the second metal layer, charges can be stored between the first metal layer and the second metal layer, and the amount of charges which can be stored between the first metal layer and the second metal layer is the capacitance value C of the first capacitor interval AB . Similarly, the second capacitor region is formed by the cooperation of a second metal layer and a third metal layer, the projections of which in the longitudinal direction at least partially overlap, and when a voltage is applied between the second metal layer and the third metal layer, charges are stored between the second metal layer and the third metal layer, and the amount of charges that can be stored between the second metal layer and the third metal layer is the capacitance value C of the second capacitor region BC 。
Illustratively, the capacitance value of the adjustable capacitor is proportional to the projected overlapping area of the two metal layers in the longitudinal direction, and the larger the projected overlapping area of the two metal layers in the longitudinal direction is, the larger the capacitance value is; conversely, the smaller the projection overlap of the two metal layers in the longitudinal direction, the smaller the capacitance value. For example: the larger the projection overlapping area of the first metal layer and the second metal layer in the longitudinal direction is, the larger the capacitance value C of the first capacitance interval is AB The larger. The larger the projection overlapping area of the second metal layer and the third metal layer in the longitudinal direction is, the larger the capacitance value C of the second capacitance interval is BC The larger. Conversely, if the projection overlap of the two metal layers in the longitudinal direction is smallerThe smaller the capacitance value.
Illustratively, the capacitance value of the tunable capacitor is inversely proportional to the relative distance between the two metal layers, and the larger the relative distance between the two metal layers is, the smaller the capacitance value is; conversely, the smaller the relative distance between two metal layers, the larger the capacitance value. For example: the larger the relative distance between the first metal layer and the second metal layer is, the larger the capacitance value C between the first capacitor regions is AB The smaller the relative distance between the second metal layer and the third metal layer is, the smaller the capacitance value C of the second capacitance interval is BC The larger.

Further, the dielectric of a first permittivity within the first capacitance interval in the present application is larger than the dielectric of a second permittivity within the second capacitance interval. According to the formula of capacitance calculation
Wherein C is a capacitance value, e is a dielectric constant of a medium between the capacitor plates, S is a projected overlapping area of the two metal layers in the longitudinal direction, and d is a relative distance between the two metal layers, and under the premise that the relative distance between the first metal layer and the second metal layer is the same as the relative distance between the second metal layer and the third metal layer, and the projected overlapping area of the first metal layer and the second metal layer in the longitudinal direction is the same as the projected overlapping area of the second metal layer and the third metal layer in the longitudinal direction, the capacitance value of the tunable capacitor mainly depends on the dielectric constant e of the medium between the capacitor platesA dielectric having a dielectric constant greater than a second dielectric constant in the second capacitance region, i.e. C
AB Than C
BC Much larger and C = C
AB //C

BC Therefore, the capacitance control signal is mainly applied to the second capacitance section to control the capacitance value C of the second capacitance section
BC Adjustment is performed to change the value of the variable capacitance.

According to, the following;
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
after the capacitance value of each adjustable capacitor meeting the impedance matching requirement is determined, the capacitance value of each adjustable capacitor is changed by adjusting the dielectric constant epsilon of a medium between capacitor plates of each adjustable capacitor, and/or the projection overlapping area S of two metal layers in the longitudinal direction, and/or the relative distance d between the two metal layers. Under the premise that the capacitance value C of the adjustable capacitor is determined and the charge quantity of the adjustable capacitor is determined, the capacitor control voltage acting on each adjustable capacitor can be determined.
Illustratively, if the impedance matching network has a Z of 50 ohms, then at the first tunable inductance L 1 And a second inductance L 2 In the case of a determination, the first adjustable capacitance C can be determined 1 A second adjustable capacitor C 2 A third adjustable capacitor C 3 And a fourth tunable capacitor C 4 According to each of the capacitance valuesThe power adjusting Rong Shangde can determine the capacitance control voltage acting on each adjustable capacitor by the aid of the electric quantity, and the capacitance control voltage acts on each adjustable capacitor, so that total impedance of the load and the impedance matching network is consistent with input impedance, and impedance matching requirements are met.
