Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the present invention is described in further detail.
Narrowly, radiofrequency signal is exactly the signal that " radiofrequency signal " module shown in Figure 1 produces, and broadly, above-mentioned signal will be as the final output signal of equipment through after a series of conditionings, and this output signal also can be described as radiofrequency signal; Big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal is meant the signal that Fig. 1 neutral line FM signal generation module produces.This " calibrating method for big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal frequency response " that the present invention proposes, be that linear FM signal is added in the system that uses linear FM signal, Calibration Method is carried out in frequency response to whole path, leave the radiofrequency signal of equipment to be calibrated and generation thereof, this calibration steps will not known where to begin.
For example, suppose to have used in the electronic measuring instrument linear FM signal of big modulation band-width, to carry out the frequency response calibration to it, will be to the full frequency band of instrument (as 10MHz~26.5GHz) calibrate, at this moment, said radiofrequency signal just is meant the output signal of instrument, and big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal just is meant the big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal that the instrument internal LFM waveforms generator is produced.
Again for example, if this method is applied in the satellite-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), then radiofrequency signal just is meant the output signal of the full working frequency range of this radar, and big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal is meant the big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal that the inner linear FM signal generation of radar module produces.
In order to reduce the calibration complexity of big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal, improve its easy implementation and ease for operation, satisfy the demand of user's field calibration and dynamic calibration, the present invention adopts based on inner detecting circuit and prompt automatic calibration of linear FM signal frequency response and the compensation way that becomes attenuator circuit, can make the big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal generating means under the control of internal calibration software, do not need any externally measured instrument and orientation ratio than part, only by inner detecting circuit and searching algorithm efficiently, can be automatic, linear frequency modulation compensating for frequency response in the real-time realization full frequency band.Like this, both reduce the cost of calibration, improved the efficient of calibration again.The ultimate principle of the method for the invention is: in full frequency band on all calibration points, to linear frequency modulation sweep signal fast, in its complete modulation bandwidth, be converted into discrete static single sideband singal, measure its current frequency response to obtain the pairing calibration data of each compensation point by inner detecting circuit then; Then, use a prompt attenuator circuit that becomes by the output terminal of Linear Frequency Modulation modulation path again, according to the calibration data that the front obtained, change in time the amplitude of linear FM signal is carried out real-time victory change decay, thereby realize the frequency modulation frequency response correction-compensation of linear FM signal, promote the linear FM signal quality.
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention is exactly on the full frequency band that uses linear frequency modulation equipment, all-pass road briefly, uses detecting circuit and the prompt attenuator circuit that becomes, sectional calibration and its frequency response of compensation.The linear frequency modulation calibrating principle block diagram of the big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal frequency response calibration system that Fig. 1 provides for the present invention, linear FM signal generation module among Fig. 1 is the generation device of big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal, the value of the initial frequency that linear FM signal generation module is set according to controller, termination frequency, sweep time and four parameters of frequency modulation direction produces required big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal.The radiofrequency signal that the radiofrequency signal module produces is as carrier signal, and for example, carrier signal is a sine wave signal, and its frequency range is 500MHz~20GHz, in concrete device different settings can be arranged as required.The radiofrequency signal that big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal that linear FM signal generation module is produced and radiofrequency signal module are produced, modulate in modulator block, radiofrequency signal after the modulation exports the prompt attenuation control circuit that becomes to, exports subordinate's circuit to by the signal path modulation then.The effect of detecting circuit is that the range value that will modulate the radiofrequency signal of output extracts and be converted into voltage signal, outputs to controller; Controller is responsible for the control of logical operation and all aforementioned modules.Each module among Fig. 1 all has the extensive application example in the microwave applications field as fields such as microwave apparatus, radar and communications, all can adopt the components and parts design of putting on the shelf that can buy on the market to realize, each module all needs multiple components and parts combination to build.But these modules adopt mode shown in Figure 1 to make up, and the method that adopts the present invention to narrate is carried out the application example of big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal frequency response calibration and do not seen.
In order will all to calibrate by the caused all frequency response factors of linear frequency modulation in the linear frequency modulation application system, the output signal end of Linear Frequency Modulation application system has adopted inner detecting circuit to calibrate among the present invention, and the prompt attenuator circuit that becomes of Linear Frequency Modulation application system internal application carries out compensating for frequency response.Like this, no matter be linear FM signal generation module, still the caused frequency response of frequency/power controller that comprises in modulator, the signal path can be considered into unusually, calibrate in the lump and compensate that (detecting circuit is positioned at the end of application system signal path, and prompt change attenuator circuit is positioned at the inside of application system signal path, the two all in modulation channels, therefore can will all be calibrated by caused all the frequency response abnormal factorses of linear frequency modulation).
Because big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal is fast-changing frequency signal, its frequency response is difficult to directly calibrate; But big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal is the continually varying frequency signal, that is to say, big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal can not undergone mutation, and its frequency response just can not undergone mutation yet.Therefore, enough little as long as frequency range is divided, the frequency response of the big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal that simulates full frequency band that just can piecewise approximation.In order to implement calibration, enough little at frequency range, or under the situation of the interior frequency response unanimity of frequency range, all frequencies in this frequency range of representative that we can be similar to the center frequency point in this frequency range, thereby can simulate frequency in the big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal full frequency band, the also frequency response of the representative full frequency band that just can be similar to a series of frequency with the frequency response on these a series of frequencies.It is any big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal at a slow speed that top process can be understood as fast-changing big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal reduction of speed, so just can calibrate.
The principle that frequency range is divided is that selected frequency can be simulated actual frequency response curve.Simultaneously, in order to take into account the efficient of calibration,, select suitable frequency interval usually according to chirped actual application environment.The experimental formula of frequency interval is M=[(F

The process flow diagram of above-mentioned calibration process is seen Fig. 3 (Fig. 3 is used to illustrate general thought, not at detailed performing step).
Because the frequency of big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal is linear change in time, in the compensating for frequency response process, the clock of baseband signal generator and electrically controlled attenuator voltage D/A send several clocks to want strict synchronism, to guarantee prompt that N+1 frequency of being divided equally of corresponding modulating bandwidth just in time when becoming the attenuator decay.In addition and since after the frequency multiplication modulation frequency response difference of big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal the time greater than 10dB, therefore the dynamic range of prompt power transformation controlled attenuator must be enough greatly.In addition, the speed of prompt power transformation controlled attenuator also wants fast as far as possible.
Big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal frequency response automatic calibrating method based on inner detecting circuit of the present invention, this method is followed the thought of reduction of speed and simulation, make fast signal discretize and staticize, and then be static single sideband singal by compensation software with fast-changing big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal reduction of speed, so just can calibrate; By inner detecting circuit and the prompt application that becomes decay, can make the frequency response calibration of big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal not rely on any external test facility, thereby the cost and the difficulty of calibration have been reduced, improve convenience and the exploitativeness of calibration, realized the auto-calibration of full frequency band, overall process.
The present invention is based on inner detecting circuit,, can obtain calibration reference data and error information easily, thereby can realize that the overall process that does not rely on external test facility calibrates automatically by inner detecting circuit.
The frequency response offset data is superimposed on the modulation path by victory change attenuator among the present invention, thereby realizes the quick amplitude adjustment of rf modulated signal fast.
The present invention can realize the frequency response calibration on all-pass road.Because inner detecting circuit is positioned at the modulation path of linear frequency modulation application system, so its detecting circuit is with intrasystem all the frequency response distortion factors of reactive applications, so the frequency response calibration based on this detecting circuit is realized can realize the calibration on all-pass road.
The present invention is suitable for big modulation band-width.The monolateral band Frequency point N that is divided in the step 2 in Fig. 2 and the summary of the invention in this invention algorithm can do corresponding the variation according to the variation of modulation band-width, when modulation band-width becomes big, only need the value change with N accordingly big, can be met the frequency response calibration data of index.

Frequency interval is more little, and calibration point is just many more, and the frequency response of the big modulation bandwidth linear FM signal after the calibration is just good more; But it is many more that calibration is counted, and it is just long more calibrate the required time, and debugging and the efficient of producing are just low more.Therefore, should take all factors into consideration the contradiction between calibration effect and the calibration efficiency, select the appropriate calibration frequency interval, that is to say, if higher to the frequency response index request, that must sacrifice efficient, and the interval is diminished, increase calibration and count, like this, can realize that in theory the frequency response school is in 0.0xdB.Generally, can get empirical value M=[(F
M-F
0)/B] ([] expression rounds, and M is the positive integer more than or equal to 2), such as F
MBe 20GHz, F
0Be 500MHz, B is 1GHz, and the empirical value of then getting M is 19.After actual alignment, if the frequency response index does not reach designing requirement, can increase calibration and count, reach designing requirement until the frequency response index.
