A kind of YIG tuned filter of revising in real time scans tuning nonlinear device
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of YIG tuned filter of revising in real time and scan tuning nonlinear device.
Background technology
YIG tuned filter (YttriumIronGarnetTuneFilter, be called for short YTF) is that centre frequency can the band pass filter of electric tuning, is the YIG device making tuned cell with YIG bead.Signal is mixing again after YTF filtering, greatly can reduce the amplitude of the image signal produced in optical mixing process, also can improve harmonic distortion index.Therefore, YTF applies generally in microwave and millimeter wave Signal reception, analysis classes equipment.
Under the driving of outside direct current, YTF inside produces tuning magnetic field, and magnetic fields produces corresponding tuned frequency in YIG bead.Between YTF tuned frequency and drive current, relation tuning sensitivity characterizes, and unit is generally MHz/mA.The preset tuning of YTF is completed usually under a frequency state, now substantially linear between YTF resonance frequency and drive current.But under frequency sweep state, it is tuning non-linear to there is scanning in YTF, namely when given identical motivation value, frequency sweep state be tuned to frequency values and point frequently state there is certain deviation, and this scanning is tuning non-linear relevant with the rate of change (sweeping wide/sweep time) of values for tuning: tuning rate of change is faster, and frequency error is larger; Tuning rate of change is less, and tuned frequency is points of proximity value frequently more.For identical driving values for tuning, YTF point frequency state tuned frequency curve and frequency sweep state tuned frequency curve comparison are as shown in Figure 1.In figure, for some frequency state frequency tuning curve, (centre frequency is f to solid line
0), dotted line is the frequency tuning curves (f under difference sweeps speed
1for sweeping the slower frequency tuning curves of speed; f
2for sweeping the very fast frequency tuning curves of speed).As shown in Figure 2, visible curve has obvious high order component to the scanning tuning voltage nonlinear curve of YTF, the most obvious in the initial segment nonlinear characteristic starting scanning.
When sweep speed is slower, the tuned frequency due to YTF departs from less, and tuning non-linear usually needs of scanning now compensates.But needing the occasion of rapid scanning, scanning for YTF is tuning non-linear, then need to compensate (such as shown in Fig. 1, in the YTF tuned frequency difference of rapid scanning state and the point frequently same frequency of state more than YTF bandwidth range), otherwise can limit YTF tuned speed and after affecting filtering to the amplitude measurement of signal.
In addition, YTF is also by the impact of magnetic hysteresis, the temperature characteristic such as drift and the factor such as aging.The temperature drift characteristic of YTF refers to when tuning current is constant, varies with temperature its tuned frequency and certain drift can occur.Along with the lengthening of operating time, YTF can occur aging, and its tuning sensitivity also changes.
Therefore, consider the impact of the drift of YTF temperature and the factor such as aging, it is more complicated and difficult that it scans tuning compensation of nonlinearity.Therefore need a kind of method or technology to revise YTF in real time and scan tuning nonlinear impact.
