Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, the present invention is described in detail.
Embodiment 1
Hardware foundation of the present invention comprises a frequency reference, a pulse frequency hopping signal generator, a pure-tone polse signal source, a local vibration source, two power amplifier modules, a low intermodulation combiner and low inter-modulation duplexer (available triplexer substitutes), a vector receiver (comprising a mixer module, a pulse intermediate frequency conditioning module, AD sampling module, a DSP module), computing machine/FPGA module, three lock units.System chart as shown in Figure 1.
Its principle of work is as follows:
(1) frequency reference (being traditionally arranged to be 50MHz) provides the input of three each and every one source modules, three inner fractional frequency division, multiplier unit respectively with oneself in source.Pure-tone polse signal is fixed frequency signal, and frequency is relevant with the test frequency of tested cable system (measured piece), and signal representation is s1; Local vibration source signal is fixed frequency signal, and signal representation is L0, and passive intermodulation to be measured (PIM) signal that frequency and measured piece produce is relevant, and its frequency-splitting is receiver intermediate frequency; And jump frequency coding signal source produce Frequency Hopping Signal, signal representation is s2, frequency be [f1, f2 ..., fn], frequency is determined by test scan frequency.
Give an example, test frequency range at EGSM, Tx frequency range is 925MHz-960MHz, is test scan frequency range; Rx frequency range is 880MHz-915MHz, for PIM product (signal) receives frequency range.So the frequency of simple signal s1 is 906MHz; Frequency Hopping Signal s2 is set to 7 rank, then frequency is [925,927,929,931,933,935,937] MHz.The 3 rank PIM signals received are [890,894,898,902,906,910,914] MHz, and therefore local oscillator can be set to 880MHz, and intermediate frequency exports as [10,14,18,22,26,30,34] MHz.If pulse is 7 μ s, sample frequency is 3GHz, and so the time domain waveform of Frequency Hopping Signal as shown in Figure 2, and as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, Fig. 3 is three-dimensional plot to time-frequency spectrum, and Fig. 4 is vertical view, can see that signal spectrum is along with time saltus step.
(2) pulse signal forms the high-power two-tone signal of coding through amplifying Hou He road, and two-tone signal is loaded on tested cable system by the Tx passage of diplexer.The suggestion of two-tone signal power is 2 road 43dBm (20w).Abnormal device in tested cable system can produce passive intermodulation interference under the excitation of two-tone signal, and passive intermodulation interference will be propagated to both direction.Forward direction PIM signal and two-tone signal are absorbed by load, and reverse PIM signal, and the Rx passage through diplexer is received by receiver, complete the excitation of PIM signal, with being separated of two-tone signal, filtering and reception.
(3) frequency mixing module of receiver is by PIM signal down coversion, is sampled by AD, differentiates, calculates relevant peaks, judge reflected P IM signal due according to irrelevant relevant method of reseptance, and the coherent signal wherein copied is used during calibration by instrument and provides.As shown in Figure 5, incoherent coherent detection is a kind of effective means detecting jump frequency coding relevant peaks to incoherent coherence check method.The signal that receiver receives is through the filtering of N road, and carry out detection with the N road filtering signal of copy coherent signal respectively, the result of detection is sued for peace after corresponding delay, carries out the travel-time of signal arrival relative to copy coherent signal.
(4) travel-time that upper step calculates should be two-tone signal and is transmitted to abnormity point, and the PIM signal that abnormity point produces is transmitted to the electrical length of receiver.In order to calculate this electrical length accurately, the present invention must calibrate instrument, establishes the reference time of copy coherent signal.As shown in Figure 6, a standard component (producing connector that is comparatively large but PIM signal stably) is accessed the tested port of instrument, and the other end accesses low intermodulation load to calibration connection diagram of the present invention.It comprises:
A) to frequency hopping signal generator, the calibration of pure-tone polse source synchronizing chip.This is calibrated to factory calibration, but provides user's calibration interface (calibrating during external trigger).Make pulse frequency hopping signal generator only launch simple signal, frequency is f1; Pure-tone polse signal source launches simple signal, and frequency is f2, and 3 rank PIM signal frequencies of so standard component excitation are 2f1-f2.Fix a road impulsive synchronization time delay motionless, provide the calibration range (A-B) of another impulsive synchronization time delay.Launch two-tone signal testing standard part successively according to the calibration range of synchronization delayed time, receiver receives PIM signal and carries out time frequency analysis, and when PIM time-frequency length is the longest, the corresponding time delay moment thinks that impulsive synchronization is successful.
B) test plane calibrating receiver is synchronous is set up.Testing standard part, incoherent coherent detection is carried out in the PIM pulse of receiver to standard component, and its copy coherent signal is is zero with PIM same frequency, initial phase, Phase Continuation, frequency hopping reference signal that pulsewidth is identical.Now examination criteria part produces the moment of PIM signal is Δ t1, so makes Δ t1 be system reference plane.Under the condition that receiver is synchronously constant, supposing to record the moment that in cable system, PIM abnormity point occurs is Δ t2, and so 0.5* (Δ t2-Δ t1), is the electrical length of abnormity point relative to test port (calibration plane).
If abnormity point is positioned at test port 30m place, Fig. 7 is incoherent coherent detection location simulation result of the present invention, and calibration and test relevant peaks travel-time are spaced apart 0.2 μm, and respective signal propagates one times of the electrical length of 30m, describes the correctness of this method.

Furthermore, frequency reference (being traditionally arranged to be 50MHz) provides the input of three each and every one source modules, three inner fractional frequency division, multiplier unit respectively with oneself in source.Pure-tone polse signal is fixed frequency signal, and frequency is relevant with the test frequency of tested cable system (measured piece), and signal representation is s1; Local vibration source signal is fixed frequency signal, and signal representation is L0, and passive intermodulation to be measured (PIM) signal that frequency and measured piece produce is relevant, and its frequency-splitting is receiver intermediate frequency; And jump frequency coding signal source produce Frequency Hopping Signal, signal representation is s2, frequency be [f1, f2 ..., fn], frequency is determined by test scan frequency.
