The invention provides a kind of load impedance matching process, as shown in Figure 5, described load impedance matching process is specific as follows:
Step one, is connected to the port of network analyzer by transmission line by load impedance coalignment;
Step 2, SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device to be measured is placed in the SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device adapted seat in described load impedance coalignment, regulate the state of the first single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT), the second single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT), the 3rd single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT), the 4th single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT), make described SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device access to be measured not mate passage;

In force, based on the load impedance coalignment recorded in embodiment one, a kind of load impedance matching process is proposed in the present embodiment.For convenience of explanation, the present embodiment adopts centre frequency to be 101.764MHz, and bandwidth is the SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device of 30MHz, and surface acoustic wave adapted seat is 24 leg bases.
First, the first joint in load impedance coalignment is connected to the Port1 port of network analyzer by transmission line, the second joint in load impedance coalignment is connected to the Port2 port of network analyzer by transmission line.
Then, SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device to be measured is placed in the SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device adapted seat in load impedance coalignment, single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT) S1 is positioned at S11 end, single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT) S2 is positioned at S21 end, single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT) S3 is positioned at S31 and single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT) S4 when being positioned at S41 end, thus by SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device to be measured access by the first joint, SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device and the second joint interface channel overall form do not mate in passage.
Then, measuring SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device S11 and S22 impedance own, is be measure the impedance of the input reflection coefficient S11 of SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device to be measured and output reflection coefficient S22 in center frequency points itself respectively with Smith chart as shown in Figure 6 on network analyzer in fact.S11 and S22 that it should be noted that herein is input and the output reflection coefficient of surface acoustic wave to be measured, is the particular measurement parameter for network analyzer, different from the meaning of parameters of representation switch in accompanying drawing.
Exemplary, two resistance values got are S11=11.43 Ω-j10.87 Ω, S22=54.19 Ω+j38.49 Ω.
Again, according to matching network structure chart as shown in Figure 7, respectively passive impedance matching network is built to port one and the second port according to after the adjustment of impedance location-appropriate.According to the previous step position that S11 with S22 is different at center frequency points place in Smith chart, the matching network structure chart shown in composition graphs 7, builds different passive impedance matching networks to port one and port two respectively.
In the matching network structure chart shown in Fig. 7,1 to the 6 match circuit structure that totally six positions are corresponding different respectively, impedance position all can be made to arrive impedance matching centre point place by these six kinds different match circuit structures, according to the particular location be in Fig. 7, choose the circuit structure that this position is corresponding.
Exemplary, port one match circuit unit adopts the pi-network of position 3 in Fig. 7, and port two match circuit unit adopts T-shaped circuit, adopts the T-shaped circuit of position 5 in Fig. 7 after adjustment.
Then, according to the dissimilar circuit after above-mentioned selection, passive impedance matching network value is determined.In matching track figure existence wait resistance circle, etc. conductance circle etc., all belong to Smith chart, when accessing the passive devices such as inductance capacitance to SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device to be measured in mode that is in parallel or series connection, the position of center frequency points place impedance in Smith chart now can change.
Concrete, be increase inductance value in time giving SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device series inductance, now edge, impedance position waits the smoother hour hands of resistance to move, and shunt inductance then inductance value reduces, and the conductance circles such as edge are mobile counterclockwise.According to above-mentioned Changing Pattern, constantly by adjustment, make impedance position movement could reach impedance matching centre point step by step, concrete mobile how many and corresponding much resistance capacitance values of needs are obtained by formulae discovery.Network values in this step is just the inductance capacitance value in the T-shaped or pi-network be mentioned in previous step.
Now, the type of adopted match circuit has been determined according to abovementioned steps, the arc length of movement as required in Smith chart, the inductance value, the capacitance that need to regulate can be determined, namely determine all passive load matching network values of load impedance coalignment middle port one and port two.Further, for " centre frequency is 101.764MHz; bandwidth is the SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device of 30MHz; surface acoustic wave adapted seat is 24 leg bases " of middle proposition above, built pi-network at its port one, port two has built T-shaped circuit, makes it to reach impedance matching centre point, for mating different SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device, different network can be built.
Finally, when mating for a certain SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device, different SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device itself has different impedances, so first need first passage not to be mated in its access, then measure above the impedance S11 own and impedance S22 own that are mentioned to, then complete matching network according to step 3 to step 6, after determining network values whole in matching network, again by the mode of by-pass cock, SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device is made to access coupling passage, so that checking matching result.Therefore only need a coalignment, the load impedance coupling flow process for different SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device can be completed.
