Refer to Fig. 1, this is a kind of existing reflection coefficient test macro, is made up of a vector network analyzer and one to be measured (DUT, device under test).The modules such as the signal source in vector network analyzer, power divider, directional coupler, width Phase Receiver machine are wherein used.Directional coupler wherein as shown in Figure 2, has input end, output terminal, isolation end, coupled end four ports altogether.The output terminal of directional coupler connects the port to be measured of to be measured.Its measuring principle is: power divider is the output signal E of signal source 0be divided into two-way, the partition factor of power divider is respectively c 1and c 2.One road signal c 1e 0to width Phase Receiver machine as reference signal R, another road signal c 2e 0to the input end of directional coupler.The output terminal of directional coupler using the port to be measured of the signal transmission of input end to be measured as incident wave a 1.From the signal b that this port reflects to be measured is returned 1get back to the output terminal of directional coupler, b 1=S 11a 1, S 11for the reflection coefficient of the port to be measured of to be measured.This reflection wave b 1the isolation end inductive coupling being directed again coupling mechanism arrives, then by coupled end to width Phase Receiver machine as test signal T, T=c 3b 1, c 3it is the coupling coefficient of directional coupler.Due to and coefficient c 1, c 2, c 3be constant, as long as thus measure the plural ratio (this can be obtained by the measurement of width Phase Receiver machine) of T/R, the reflection coefficient S of the port to be measured of to be measured can be obtained 11.
Refer to Fig. 3, this is a kind of existing transmission coefficient test macro, is made up of a vector network analyzer and one to be measured.Wherein used two ports of vector network analyzer, the port one of vector network analyzer connects the port one of to be measured, the port two of the port two connected vector network analyzer of to be measured.Its measuring principle is: power divider is the output signal E of signal source 0be divided into two-way, the partition factor of power divider is respectively c 1and c 2.One road signal c 1e 0to width Phase Receiver machine as reference signal R, another road signal c 2e 0to the port one of to be measured as incident wave a 1.From the signal b of port two outgoing of to be measured 2pass to width Phase Receiver machine as test signal T, T=b 2=S 21a 1, S 21for the port one of to be measured is to the transmission coefficient of port two.Due to and coefficient c1, c2 are constant, as long as thus measure the plural ratio (this can be obtained by the measurement of width Phase Receiver machine) of T/R, the port one that can obtain to be measured is to the transmission coefficient S of port two 21.

Existing vector network analyzer is when carrying out multiport circuit, and its phase test precision can only reach ± 2 °, if the test duration extends, it is poorer that measuring accuracy can become, as there is in Fig. 9 little triangle solid line shown in.How to meet high precision, for a long time testing requirement, just become a difficult problem in the application of current vector network analyzer.

1st step of said method, the order of the 2nd step can be exchanged.
Refer to Fig. 8 a and Fig. 8 b, this is the 4th embodiment of the application's scattering parameter test macro, also for measuring transmission coefficient.It comprises vector network analyzer, independent of the directional coupler (hereinafter referred to as exterior orientation coupling mechanism) beyond vector network analyzer, two waveguide switches and to be measured.Described vector network analyzer has used two ports, shown in such as, vector network analyzer in Fig. 3.The port one of vector network analyzer, port two connect input end, the coupled end of exterior orientation coupling mechanism respectively.The output terminal of exterior orientation coupling mechanism connects one end of waveguide switch one.The other end of waveguide switch one connects the port one of to be measured.The port two of to be measured connects one end of waveguide switch two.Above annexation is all realized by the concentric cable being suitable for radio signal transmission.If to be measured also has other ports, then other ports are impedance matching (such as connecting 50 Ohmages).
4th embodiment of above-mentioned scattering parameter test macro realizes measuring the method for transmission coefficient: set the port one of vector network analyzer to the electromagnetic wave power of the input end of exterior orientation coupling mechanism as P 1, the output terminal of exterior orientation coupling mechanism is P to the electromagnetic wave power of waveguide switch one 2.
1st step, refers to Fig. 8 a, and waveguide switch one is placed in short-circuit condition, and the state of waveguide switch two is random.Now waveguide switch one is also P to the reflected electromagnetic wave power of the output terminal of exterior orientation coupling mechanism 2.Vector network analyzer record is P from the electromagnetic wave power coming from the coupled end of exterior orientation coupling mechanism that port two receives 41.So degree of coupling of exterior orientation coupling mechanism C = 10 log P 2 P 41 .
2nd step, refers to Fig. 8 b, and waveguide switch one is placed in conducting state, and waveguide switch two is placed in short-circuit condition.Now waveguide switch one is also P to the incoming electromagnetic wave power of the port one of to be measured 2.Suppose that the port one of to be measured is S to the transmission coefficient of port two 21, port two is S to the transmission coefficient of port one 12, then the port two of to be measured is S to the outgoing electromagnetic wave power of waveguide switch two 21 2p 2.Now waveguide switch two is also S to the reflected electromagnetic wave power of the port two of to be measured 21 2p 2.The port one of to be measured is S to the outgoing electromagnetic wave power of waveguide switch one 12 2s 21 2p 2, waveguide switch one is also S to the electromagnetic wave power of the output terminal of exterior orientation coupling mechanism 12 2s 21 2p 2.Vector network analyzer record is P from the electromagnetic wave power coming from the coupled end of exterior orientation coupling mechanism that port two receives 42.So degree of coupling of exterior orientation coupling mechanism

In above-mentioned two embodiments, when waveguide switch is placed in short-circuit condition, vector network analyzer can be calibrated, namely make zero (0dB), now corresponding P ' 41=1.So when waveguide switch is placed in conducting state, vector network analyzer is according to measuring the P ' obtained 42directly can calculate the reflection coefficient of the port to be measured of to be measured, namely
Similarly, the single port only using vector network analyzer due to the 3rd embodiment is measured, and the dual-port that the 4th embodiment only uses vector network analyzer is measured, and therefore the measuring accuracy of the 4th embodiment is higher, the scope of application is wider.
Transmission coefficient S between the input end and output terminal of directional coupler 21≤ 0.005(i.e.-45dB) time, above-mentioned second embodiment, the 4th embodiment still remain higher measuring accuracy, range error in below 0.1dB, phase error below 1 °.
In above-mentioned four embodiments, usually control vector network analyzer and waveguide switch by a computing machine (not shown).Computing machine not only controls the break-make of waveguide switch, also control vector network analyzer and produces and received RF signal, and the reading realized test signal and process, thus realize measuring reflection coefficient or transmission coefficient.
The application's scattering parameter test macro may be used for the reflection coefficient of arbitrary port measuring passive device, active device, also can be used for the transmission coefficient measured between any two ports of passive multi-port device.
For meeting testing requirement, the reflection coefficient of the waveguide switch that usual requirement uses when conducting is less than the reflection coefficient of to be measured connected port, requires that the electromagnetic wave that the waveguide switch used reflects when short circuit can be detected by vector network analyzer (the lowest detection thresholding being greater than vector network analyzer) simultaneously.
In order to improve measuring accuracy, preferably, the reflection coefficient of the waveguide switch used when conducting is less than 1/10th of the reflection coefficient of to be measured connected port, reflection coefficient >=50% of the waveguide switch used when short circuit.Now, the application's measuring error that each components and parts are introduced when measuring reflection coefficient, transmission coefficient is just negligible.
By selecting suitable waveguide switch, its switching time between short-circuit condition and conducting state can be made very short, such as, reach about 100ms.In the short period of time, the P that obtains of vector network analyzer measurement 41and P 42can think quasi real time.The application passes through P 42with P 41ratio, obtain the reflection coefficient S of the port to be measured of to be measured 11or the transmission coefficient S between to be measured two ports 21.This metering system has all carried out quasi real time correcting to all errors (comprise vector network analyzer, amplitude, phase drift etc. that directional coupler, cable bring due to temperature and motion) before waveguide switch.Test shows, more preferably, and the standing-wave ratio (SWR) VSWR < 1.1 when waveguide switch is in conducting, the reflection coefficient S when short circuit 11>-1.5dB, then the application can by vector network analyzer measure time phase stability rise to ± 0.35 ° within, as shown in the solid line not with little triangle in Fig. 9, thus meet long-time, high-precision testing requirement, solve a great problem of the application that annoying vector network analyzer.
These are only the preferred embodiment of the application, and be not used in restriction the application.For a person skilled in the art, the application can have various modifications and variations.Within all spirit in the application and principle, any amendment done, equivalent replacement, improvement etc., within the protection domain that all should be included in the application.
