The pattern of the thermo-electric conversion sensor measurement of the employing present invention:
(A) in room temperature TRoom temperatureUnder, by Terahertz power PTHzTested equal to 110GHz~170GHz frequency
Object (operating power seat) is carried on thermo-electric conversion sensor;In making the thermo-electric conversion sensor that the present invention designs
The temperature of the wedge shape wave-absorber 1 in portion raises, and then the temperature of platinum resistance thermistor 2 is raised, by platinum under the conditions of this
The maximum temperature that critesistor 2 arrives is designated as TTHz;
(B) in room temperature TRoom temperatureUnder, by bias direct current power PDCMeasurand (reference power seat) be carried in heat
On electricity conversion sensor;Make the temperature liter of the wedge shape wave-absorber 1 of the thermo-electric conversion sensor internal that the present invention designs
Height, and then the temperature of platinum resistance thermistor 2 is raised, the maximum temperature that platinum resistance thermistor under the conditions of this 2 is arrived
It is designated as TDC;
(C) T is comparedTHzWith TDC;If identical, then PTHzOutput is equal to PDC;If differing, then regulate PDC,

The standing-wave ratio of thermo-electric conversion sensor shown in Figure 5, description is that the thermo-electric conversion that the present invention designs passes
Sensor is for the assimilation effect of Terahertz power.In figure, abscissa is frequency (unit GHz), and vertical coordinate is standing-wave ratio
(constant guiding principle, without unit), standing-wave ratio is less than 1.2, illustrates that the Terahertz power being applied on waveguide flange 8 is the biggest
Majority is all absorbed by sensor, and Broadband Matching is good.
Replacement relationship between efficiency:
According to substituting efficiency eta computing formulaWherein PDCFor the dc power applied, PTHzFor by thermoelectricity
The Terahertz power that conversion sensor absorbs, T is when after Terahertz power absorption, the temperature that platinum resistance thermistor senses.
After thermo-electric conversion sensor absorbs 110GHz~170GHz power, platinum resistance thermistor 2 temperature reaches stable temperature
During angle value T, then need certain dc power to reach identical temperature value T, substitute efficiency as shown in Figure 6.In figure,
Abscissa is dc power (unit dBm), and vertical coordinate, for substituting efficiency (constant guiding principle, without unit), substitutes efficiency
It is similar to 1, illustrates that 110GHz~170GHz power can be traced to the source by dc power, and substitution effects is good.
In the present invention, it is that Terahertz power is traceable on direct current or low frequency power.Being applied to of present invention design
The thermo-electric conversion sensor of 110GHz~170GHz frequency microcalorimeter selects have effigurate carbonyl iron and makees
For Terahertz power absorbing material in load.Sensor specific works principle is first to apply DC offset voltage, no
Adding Terahertz power, critesistor can detect variations in temperature, uses the mode of self-balancing bridge, makes system reach flat
Weighing apparatus, at this moment records DC voltage VRF_OFF, then applying Terahertz power, thermistor temp rises, negative feedback
Circuit regulation direct-current bias voltage, again with the mode of self-balancing bridge so that system reaches balance, records direct current
Voltage VRF_ON.At this moment the direct current obtained substitutes the difference that efficiency is two dc powers.Owing to Terahertz power is impossible
Being supported completely and sponge, dc power is different with the dissipation distribution in the load of Terahertz power simultaneously, thus causes
The heat distribution each produced also is not quite similar, so being replaced with efficiency will set up connection between Terahertz power and dc power
System.
