Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings. Wherein like elements in different embodiments are numbered with like associated elements. In the following description, numerous details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some of the features may be omitted or replaced with other elements, materials, methods in different instances. In some instances, certain operations related to the present application have not been shown or described in detail in order to avoid obscuring the core of the present application from excessive description, and it is not necessary for those skilled in the art to describe these operations in detail, so that they may be fully understood from the description in the specification and the general knowledge in the art.
Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification may be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. Also, the various steps or actions in the method descriptions may be transposed or transposed in order, as will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. Thus, the various sequences in the specification and drawings are for the purpose of describing certain embodiments only and are not intended to imply a required sequence unless otherwise indicated where such sequence must be followed.
The numbering of the components as such, e.g., "first", "second", etc., is used herein only to distinguish the objects as described, and does not have any sequential or technical meaning. The term "connected" and "coupled" when used in this application, unless otherwise indicated, includes both direct and indirect connections (couplings).
The directivity is an important index for measuring the quality of the network analyzer, when the network analyzer measures the reflection characteristic, the coupling end contains a leaked incident excitation signal, the signal and the reflection signal are subjected to vector superposition to cause a reflection index measurement error, and the better the directivity is, the smaller the error is. On this basis, good directivity is achieved if we calculate the incident excitation signal contained in the coupling end.
The common method for improving the directivity of the network analyzer is to use a directional coupler module at the radio frequency front end, and the design modes of the directional coupler are two common types:
the first mode is a microstrip coupler designed by utilizing the theory of microstrip coupling;
the second mode is a bridge coupler manufactured by using the principle of a balanced bridge.
However, the minimum operating frequency of the microstrip coupler of the first mode is closely related to the 1/4 wavelength, and therefore, if a band of several tens of megabits or less is to be used, an extremely large size is required, which is certainly unrealistic; the second balanced bridge principle can be used to make ultra-wideband directional coupler, but the designed circuit must achieve very good balanced characteristics to achieve the coupler directivity, and the circuit design and debugging are very difficult. In order to solve the defects in the prior art, the circuit structure which is high in directivity, ultra wide band and low in design difficulty is realized by adopting a mode of combining a circuit and an algorithm.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a directivity improving apparatus includes a directional coupler, a first detection module, a second detection module, and a signal processor. The first detection module and the second detection module are used for detecting detection values of coupling electric signals of the input coupling port and the output coupling port of the directional coupler, and the signal processor acquires network parameters of the directivity improving device according to the detection values when the directional coupler is connected with the matched load and the device to be detected. Because the network parameters are obtained by respectively obtaining the detection values of the coupling electric signals of the directional coupler connecting matching load and the device to be tested, the hardware circuit is simple to realize, the algorithm is simple, better directivity can be realized, and the cost for researching and developing and producing the network analyzer is reduced.
The first embodiment is as follows:
referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a structural connection of a directivity improving apparatus in an embodiment is shown, where the directivity improving apparatus for a network analyzer includes a directional coupler 1, a first detection module 2, a second detection module 3, and a signal processor 3. The directional coupler 1 includes an input port, an output port, an input coupling port, and an output coupling port, the input port of the directional coupler 1 is used as a power input port of the directivity improving device, the output port of the directional coupler 1 is used as a power output port of the directivity improving device, the input coupling port of the directional coupler is connected to the first detection module 2, and the output coupling port of the directional coupler 1 is connected to the second detection module 3. The directional coupler 1 is provided with a matching network between its input port and output port, and the matching network is used to ensure impedance matching between the input port and output port of the directional coupler 1. The power Input port of the directivity improving device is used for inputting an incident excitation signal Input, and the power Output port of the directivity improving device is used for outputting an emergent excitation signal Output absorbed by the matching network.
The first detection module 2 is configured to detect a detection value of the coupling electrical signal at the power input port of the directivity enhancing device, and output the detection value to the signal processor 4. The second detection module 3 is configured to detect a coupling electrical signal detection value at the power output port of the directivity improving apparatus, and output the coupling electrical signal detection value to the signal processor 4. The signal processor 4 is configured to obtain a detection value R1 and a detection value a1 of the first detection module 2 and the second detection module 3, respectively, when a matching load 5 is connected to the power output port of the directivity enhancing apparatus. The matching load 5 completely absorbs the outgoing excitation signal Output from the power Output port of the directivity improving device. The matched load 5 is a standard matched load, and for a common 50 Ω rf system, a load assembly (standard 50 Ω absorption load) in a 50 Ω calibration piece is usually used. The signal processor 4 is a CPU with computing power, which can perform basic data operations and storage on data.
Referring to fig. 2, which is a schematic diagram illustrating a structural connection of the directivity enhancing apparatus in an embodiment, the signal processor 4 is further configured to respectively obtain a detection value R2 and a detection value a2 detected by the first detection module 2 and the second detection module 3 when the power output port of the directivity enhancing apparatus is connected to a device under test 6. The device to be tested 6 completely absorbs the outgoing excitation signal Output from the power Output port of the directivity improving device.
When the output port of the directional coupler is connected with the matched load, the signal of the output port is completely absorbed by the matched load, at this time, the signal in the input coupled port is the detection value R1 of the coupled signal of the input port, and the output coupled port is the detection value A1 of the coupled signal after the input signal passes through the matching network. When the output port of the directional coupler is connected with the device to be tested, the signal of the output port is not completely absorbed, and a reflected signal exists, at the moment,
the signal of the output coupling port is the sum A2 of the coupled signal of the input port after passing through the matching network and the measured value of the coupled signal of the reflected power of the output port, and the signal of the input coupling port is the measured value R2 of the coupled signal of the input port and the coupled signal of the reflected signal of the output port after passing through the matching network. When the loss of the matching network is 3dB, the input coupling port signal comes from the input port signal accounting for 99.9%, and in practical use, it is recommended that the loss of the matching network can be a little larger, so that the signal of the input coupling port can be considered to be completely from the coupling signal of the input port signal. The reflection signal in the output coupling port and the coupling signal from the input port can be obtained, so that the return loss, standing wave ratio and reflection coefficient of the device to be tested are calculated, and the high directivity of the network analyzer is realized. The signal processor 4 is further configured to acquire a network parameter of the directivity improving apparatus based on the detection value R1, the detection value R2, the detection value a1, and the detection value a 2.
Referring to fig. 3, which is a schematic diagram illustrating a structural connection of a directional coupler in an embodiment, a directional coupler 1 includes a matching network 11, a first sampling resistor 12 and a second sampling resistor 13, the first sampling resistor 12 is connected between an input port and an input coupling port of the directional coupler 1, the second sampling resistor 13 is connected between an output port and an output coupling port of the directional coupler 1, and the matching network 11 is connected between the input port and the output port of the directional coupler 1. In one embodiment, the matching network 1 includes at least one coupling resistor.

RL=10*Lg[R2/(A2-R2*A1/R1)];
the obtaining formula of the reflection coefficient comprises:

the standing-wave ratio obtaining formula comprises:
VSWR=(1+Г)/(1-Г);
wherein RL is return loss, Γ is reflection coefficient, and VSWR is standing wave ratio.

The first detection module and the second detection module are used for detecting detection values of coupling electric signals of the input coupling port and the output coupling port of the directional coupler, and the signal processor acquires network parameters of the directivity improving device according to the detection values when the directional coupler is connected with the matched load and the device to be detected. Because the network parameters are obtained by respectively obtaining the detection values of the coupling electric signals of the directional coupler connecting matching load and the device to be tested, the hardware circuit is simple to realize, the algorithm is simple, better directivity can be realized, and the cost for researching and developing and producing the network analyzer is reduced.

The input coupling port is close to the input port, and at the input side of the matching network, the coupling can be completed by using a resistor, and the coupling degree (the coupling degree refers to the ratio of the output power of the input coupling port to the input power of the input port) can be adjusted according to the value of the first sampling resistor.
