The microwave signal detection method can realize detection of the microwave signal of the lower frequency band of the 6G communication.
The core part of the invention is a microwave power detection circuit based on a Schottky diode MA4E1310, and as shown in figure 2, the microwave power detection circuit consists of the Schottky diode, a low-pass filter for filtering fundamental frequency and higher harmonic and a load R. The microwave signal coupled to the antenna is sent to a matched Schottky (rectifying) diode, then a direct current voltage signal mixed with higher harmonics is output through rectification, the diode output signal is sent to a low-pass filter mainly composed of three UFA42 amplifiers for filtering, and a direct current component in the voltage signal is output, so that the detection of the microwave signal is completed.

Microwave signal reception of the 6G communication low frequency band is completed by using a microstrip patch antenna fed by a coaxial line. According to the working principle of the microstrip patch antenna, the working frequency is preset to be 108GHz, the formula for calculating the size of the antenna is substituted, the parameters of the antenna are simulated and optimized in the HFSS, and the length of a radiation element is 0.293mm according to the calculation formula and the optimized parameter values; the equivalent radiation gap length is Δ L of 0.410 mm; the width of the radiating element is 1.174 mm; the effective dielectric constant is 2.2 mm; the position of the coaxial line feed point is 0.113 mm; the relative dielectric constant is 1.693. A coaxial-fed microstrip patch antenna model designed according to the parameters is shown in fig. 3. The resonance center point of the simulated antenna is 108GHz, the frequency sweeping result of the return loss S11 of the antenna is shown in FIG. 4, and the return losses in the frequency bands (100 GHz-110 GHz) near the resonance center are all less than-10 dB.

Deducing and establishing a closed formula of a Schottky diode parallel rectifier circuit under an ideal condition, and qualitatively analyzing the influence of input power on diode input impedance and direct-current voltage on a load in the rectifier circuit to obtain that when the input power of a source is constant, the voltage on the load of the rectifier circuit is monotonically increased along with the increase of the load; when the load resistance is constant, the voltage on the load increases with the input power of the source. Establishing a model of the Schottky diode in the ADS, simulating the Schottky diode parallel rectification circuit, and testing the Schottky diode parallel rectification circuit of each load under the frequency of 108 GHz. When the load resistance is 50-3000 Ω, the voltage across the load changes as shown in fig. 6, and the voltage across the load increases with the increase of the input power, but when the power increases to a certain value, the diode breaks down in the reverse direction, and the voltage across the load is maintained at about 3.2V and does not change. Under the same power, the larger the resistance value of the load is, the larger the voltage drop at two ends of the load is, but when the resistance value of the load is larger than 1000 Ω, the increasing amplitude of the voltage drop at two ends of the load along with the increase of the resistance value is gradually no longer obvious. Therefore, in order to take power and voltage drop at two ends of the load into account, the load resistance value is not too large, and is about 1000 Ω. And (3) solving a change curve of 108GHz fundamental frequency impedance of the diode under each input power according to the voltage at the nodes at the two ends of the diode and the current flowing through the diode, and further designing an impedance matching network and a rectifying circuit. Simulation results as shown in fig. 7, as the input power increases, the diode can turn on, the resistance thereof decreases, and the reactance decreases. The impedance matching design of the next rectifying circuit is carried out by taking the reactance value of the diode near 1.26 mW of input power, and the impedance of the diode is taken as 130-125 omega. The microstrip patch antenna couples the energy of the microwave signal to the lower substrate integrated waveguide through the slot on the substrate integrated waveguide, and the substrate integrated waveguide transmits the signal to the rectifying circuit established based on the microstrip line impedance matching network to rectify the signal, thereby finally realizing the conversion of the microwave signal into a direct current signal which can be conveniently read. The impedance matching network is designed to use a substrate integrated waveguide-microstrip line structure, as shown in fig. 8. The substrate integrated waveguide is equivalent to a band-pass filter, only allows electromagnetic waves with the frequency higher than the cut-off frequency of the substrate integrated waveguide to pass, conducts high-frequency electromagnetic waves received by the antenna to a quarter microstrip line with the impedance of 50 omega, and then is connected to a quarter microstrip line converter with the impedance of 80 omega to complete impedance matching with a rectifier diode.
Finally, the detected microwave signals are visually displayed through an analog-to-digital converter AD7887 and an STM32 microprocessor chip, a rectifier diode is connected with the tail end of an impedance matching network and a low-pass filter, and the upper fundamental frequency and higher harmonics are filtered out and then data processing is carried out on the direct current signals. As shown in fig. 9, the 2.5V reference voltage generated by ADR421 is connected to 8 ports through grounded capacitor C3, i.e. 3 ports, to provide a reference voltage for AD 7887. The direct-current voltage output after being filtered by the low-pass filter enters an analog-to-digital converter AD7887 from a port 1, and then the analog-to-digital converter AD7887 converts an input analog signal into a digital signal; finally, the analog-to-digital converter AD7887 transmits the digital signals to the STM32 microprocessor through R11-R14, and data processing and analysis are achieved in the STM 32. R11-R14 are 100 omega resistors, so that digital noise can be reduced, and a sampling result is more stable; the C3 value is 100nF, and the ripple of the reference voltage can be reduced. C11, C12, C4 and C5 are two pairs of bypass capacitors connected to VCC, with C11 and C12 values of 10 μ F and C4 and C5 values of 100 nf. After the digital signals are sent to an STM32 microcontroller through R11-R14, codes are compiled to process and display the signals, and visualization of detection data is achieved. And the Bluetooth connection can be completed with other terminals to transmit signals in a wireless transmission mode, and finally, the real-time display and recording of detection signals are realized.
