Typically, power devices have low output impedance, and the load pull test environment is consistent with most rf microwave circuitry with an impedance coverage area centered at 50 ohms.
The standing wave ratio between the output impedance of the power device and 50ohm is high, and the high standing wave ratio test can introduce a series of problems: the load traction system is lower in test accuracy in a high standing-wave ratio area, devices and the system are easily damaged due to strong mismatch between the power device and the load traction test system, and the optimized impedance area of the power device, such as a power optimized area and an efficiency optimized area, may exceed the impedance coverage area of the load traction system and cannot be measured.
The problem of high standing wave ratio test of the power device can be solved through an impedance transformation technology, namely, a low-resistance to 50-ohm impedance transformation circuit is introduced between the power device and a load traction system to pre-match the power device, and the standing wave ratio between the pre-matched circuit to be tested and 50-ohm is greatly reduced, so that the load traction system can accurately and safely test parameters of the pre-matched power device. In order to obtain the parameters of the power device, the parameters of the power device after pre-matching are de-embedded, that is, the influence of the pre-matching circuit in the parameters is removed, and only the parameters of the device are reserved.
Based on the above, a power device transmission parameter determination method needs to be developed and designed for solving the problem that the load traction measurement power device parameters are inaccurate.

Detailed Description
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system structures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, which is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and a detailed implementation manner and a specific operation process are given, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
As described in the background art, the problem of high standing wave ratio testing of power devices can be solved by an impedance transformation technology, and the first creative work of the applicant of the present invention lies in that one side of a pre-matching circuit connecting device is an impedance transformation structure with low impedance measurement, a matching strip line is wide, and discontinuity of the structure is easily existed with a pin of a power device. Since the discontinuity has an equivalent capacitance effect in the radio frequency microwave frequency band, the impedance deviation is caused and becomes larger with the increase of the frequency or the discontinuity degree, and in a high-frequency application scenario, the impedance deviation caused by the equivalent capacitance becomes more and more non-negligible with the increase of the frequency, which becomes an important item affecting the test data.
In the load traction test in the prior art, after parameters of a pre-matched power device are measured, real parameters of a tube are obtained by embedding the parameters of a pre-matching circuit. The second inventive step of the applicant of the present invention consists in finding that the effect of structural discontinuity between the fixture and the device under test is neglected in the prior art. With the popularization of small-size narrow-pin power devices such as DFN/QFN and the like, the applicable frequency of the power devices is increased, and impedance deviation caused by the discontinuous effect becomes increasingly and irrespectively.
The third inventive work of the applicant of the present invention is to develop a new power device transmission parameter determination scheme, so as to solve the problem of impedance test errors caused by the discontinuity effect between the device pin and the pre-matching circuit.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for determining a transmission parameter of a power device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, it shows a flowchart of an implementation of a method for determining a transmission parameter of a power device according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is detailed as follows:
in step 101, a full effect transmission parameter of a fixture is obtained, wherein the full effect transmission parameter is a de-embedding parameter including a discontinuous effect.
The de-embedding parameter of the discontinuous effect is a transmission parameter corresponding to the structural discontinuity between the clamp and the device to be tested.
In some embodiments, step 101 comprises: acquiring a calibration piece; and acquiring the full-effect transmission parameters through the calibration piece.
In some embodiments, the calibration piece is designed based on a TRL calibration algorithm, the calibration piece comprising: an open calibration piece, a pass-through calibration piece, and a delay calibration piece.
In some embodiments, the transmission parameter of the calibration piece is a preset transmission parameter, and the obtaining of the full-effect transmission parameter of the fixture by the calibration piece includes:
accessing the calibration piece into a load traction test platform;
testing the calibration piece to obtain the transmission parameters of the cascade circuit;
and acquiring the full-effect transmission parameter by de-embedding the cascade circuit transmission parameter into the preset transmission parameter of the calibration piece.
In some such forms, the load-pull test platform comprises: the pre-matching circuit and the network analyzer, the calibration piece is connected to a load traction test platform, and the pre-matching circuit comprises:
connecting the calibration piece to the pre-matching circuit;
electrically connecting the pre-match circuit with the network analyzer.
In some embodiments, the pre-matching circuit includes an impedance transformation structure.
For exemplary purposes, in order to describe the method of the present invention in more detail, the following description is given by taking the power device transmission parameter determination of a DFN power device as an example, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the following examples are provided for convenience of understanding only and are not limiting.
In fig. 2, the DFN power device 200 to be tested has a device size of 7mm by 7mm and a lead width of 0.8 mm. The power device 200 includes three testing channels, in a specific embodiment, a first pin and a sixth pin form a first testing channel, a second pin and a fifth pin form a second testing channel, and a third pin and a fourth pin form a third testing channel. The rectangle with the cut corners in the middle in fig. 2 is used for grounding.
The broadband impedance transformation structure 210 realizes broadband impedance transformation from 50ohm to 20ohm, and the power device 200 is attached to the left side of the broadband impedance transformation structure at the low-impedance end of 20 ohm.
According to the information of the size of the tube core of the power device 200 to be tested, the working frequency band, the internal matching mode and the like, the input and output impedance optimization area of the power device 200 to be tested is pre-estimated, and the broadband impedance transformation structure 210 is designed according to the input and output impedance optimization area. The broadband impedance transformation of 50ohm to 20ohm in this example is only one specific application example, and it is still within the scope of this patent to design a narrower and more targeted impedance transformation structure, an impedance transformation structure with other impedance transformation ratios, and use other forms of microwave transmission lines according to the output impedance condition of the power device.
The broadband impedance transformation structure 210 can reduce the mismatch between the power device 200 and the load traction test environment, expand the maximum test range of the test system in a specific impedance area, ensure that the key information of the power device 200 to be tested, such as the optimal source impedance, the optimal power load, the optimal efficiency load, the optimal gain circle center, and the like, can be completely tested, and improve the load traction test precision and safety.
As shown in fig. 2, the wideband impedance transformation structure 210 may include: solder mask coverage area 212, first solder mask region 211 and the second solder mask region 213 of windowing, above-mentioned three region are the region of intercommunication each other, also be the region of electricity connection, for covering the copper district in the realization, be equipped with the group welding layer on the upper surface of covering the copper district, it has the window to open at the group welding layer, wherein it covers the solder mask be group welding layer coverage area 212, two regions of windowing are first solder mask region 211 and the second group welding layer region 213 of windowing respectively. The sizes of the first solder mask windowing region 211 and the second solder mask windowing region 213 are the same as the size of the pin of the power device 200 to be tested, and the first solder mask windowing region and the second solder mask windowing region are device pin mounting regions. The power device 200 to be tested has three testing channels, and the pins of the device with the channel to be tested are mounted in the pin mounting area of the device 211 during testing, so that the signal communication of the channel can be realized, and meanwhile, due to the existence of the solder mask covering area 212, the adjacent signal channels can not participate in the test of load traction. This solution is only an alternative device mounting method, and it still belongs to the protection scope of this patent to mount the power device to be tested on the impedance transformation structure by the lower or upper mounting.
The pin width of the power device 200 is 0.8mm, the measuring width of the impedance transformation line device is 4mm, the structural discontinuity reaches 1:5, strong discontinuity exists between the device pin and the impedance transformation structure, and the discontinuity effect transmission parameter can be represented as T _ discontinuity.
Figure 3 illustrates one embodiment of a load pull pre-matching circuit employing a wideband impedance transformation structure 210,
the core of the pre-matching circuit is an impedance transformation structure 210, and on this basis, firstly, in order to prevent the self-excitation of the power amplifier, a power supply link needs to be integrated, the first end face 301 to the second end face 302 are a pre-matching input circuit 310 integrated with the power supply link, the power supply link is composed of a bent metal transmission line and devices thereon, and a hollow winding inductor, a radio frequency decoupling capacitor, a low-frequency loss resistor and a filter capacitor which are connected with the impedance transformation structure are arranged from bottom to top. Eighty percent of self-excitation of the power device is from low-frequency inductive self-excitation, and a power supply link is integrated on a pre-matching circuit, so that the introduction of low-frequency clutter is reduced; in addition, the hollow winding inductor and the radio frequency decoupling capacitor act together to ensure that radio frequency signals acting from about 1GHz to more than 10 GHz cannot be leaked to a power supply link, because the inductance of the hollow winding inductor at low frequency is low, low-frequency noise waves pass through the hollow winding inductor and are lost by the low-frequency loss resistor, and the filter capacitor ensures that the low-frequency noise waves of an external power supply cannot be introduced into a circuit, so that secondary processing can be performed on the power amplifier self-excitation problem. Meanwhile, the ground hole area enclosed on the impedance transformation structure and the power supply link can shield clutter in the air, and third-layer optimization is carried out on the self-excitation of the power amplifier.
Between the third end face 303 and the fourth end face 304 is a pre-match output circuit 330. Also including impedance transformation circuitry, power links and electromagnetic shielding, except that there is no low frequency loss resistance due to high leakage current. The integration of the power supply link avoids the direct current signal from being configured by the load traction equipment, and the test safety is improved. Except that the pre-matching input and output pre-matching circuit of the circuit is respectively connected with the grid input and the drain output of the power amplification tube, the power tube also needs to solve the problem of source grounding.
The second end face 302 to the third end face 303 are pre-matched grounding mounting circuits 320, and with the circuits, the devices can be effectively mounted and grounded to realize normal test.
During load traction test, the power device 200 is assembled on the pre-matching circuit, pins of a to-be-tested passage of the power device 200 are attached to a first welding layer windowing area 211 of a green oil windowing pre-matching circuit, the inner edge of an input pin of the to-be-tested power device 200 is just flush with the second end face 302, and the inner edge of an output pin of the to-be-tested power device 200 is just flush with the third end face 303.
The transmission parameter of the pre-match input circuit 310 is T _ LPTFA, and the transmission parameter of the discontinuous effect between the pre-match input circuit 310 and the power device 200 is T _ discontinuity 1; the transmission parameter of the pre-matching output circuit 330 is T _ LPTFB, and the transmission parameter of the discontinuous effect between the power device 200 and the pre-matching output circuit 330 is T _ discontinuity 2.
In order to assist in designing the internal and external matching circuits of the power device 200, it is necessary to know the optimized input impedance of the power device 200 at the reference plane of the second end face 302 and the optimized output impedance of the reference plane of the third end face 303. To de-embed to the end face, the full effect transmission parameters need to be known, which for this embodiment include: inputting the pre-matching full-effect transmission parameter [ T _ LPTFA ] [ T _ discontinuity1], and outputting the pre-matching full-effect transmission parameter [ T _ discontinuity2] [ T _ LPTFB ] with the output end known.
The influence of the pre-matching circuit can be introduced in the power tube testing process, in order to obtain the parameters of the power tube, the influence of the pre-matching circuit needs to be removed, the end face of the test data is moved to the pin of the power device from the tail end of the pre-matching circuit, and the purpose is realized by a calibration piece.
FIG. 4 provides a design of a microstrip transmission line calibration system 400 for collecting input pre-matched full effect transmission parameters [ T _ LPTFA ] [ T _ discontinuity1], and outputting pre-matched full effect transmission parameters [ T _ discontinuity2] [ T _ LPTFB ]. The calibration member 400 is designed based on a TRL calibration algorithm, which is the TRL calibration member with the highest accuracy in the current calibration algorithm, and includes a "T" straight-through calibration member 401, an "R" left open calibration member 402, an "R" right open calibration member 403, and an "L" delay calibration member 404. The four calibration pieces are independent calibration units, and as shown in fig. 4, are all coated with copper in one section.
In use, a 12-item error model or an 8-item error model (determined by the structure of the network analyzer) is determined by measuring two transmission calibration pieces and a reflection calibration piece, and the test end face of the test system is moved to the calibration reference face end face of the calibration piece through the error model, so that the circuit cables except the calibration end face do not influence the test of the calibration end face.
The TRL pass-through calibration member 401 delays both sides of the calibration member 404 and the non-calibrated end faces of the open calibration members 401, 402 to measure 50ohm lines, and the connection of the calibration member to the coaxial interface device and device connection lines can be achieved by a coaxial probe-to-probe configuration.
The calibration reference surface of the calibration piece is the middle end surface of the straight calibration piece 401, the line width of the transmission line of the calibration reference end surface of the calibration piece is designed according to the pin size of the DFN power device 200, and in the application example, the width Wd of the transmission line is 0.8 mm. When the TRL calibration piece extracts the parameters of the pre-matching circuit, the structural discontinuity of the calibration piece and the pre-matching circuit piece is equal to the structural discontinuity between the power device and the pre-matching circuit, and the 'parameters of the pre-matching circuit' acquired by the TRL calibration piece are equal to the cascade connection of the parameters of the pre-matching circuit and the parameters of the capacitance effect caused by the structural discontinuity between the calibration piece and the pre-matching circuit.
The extraction of the pre-match circuit parameters can be based on two forms:
the first one is one-time calibration, a designed transmission strip line TRL calibration piece is directly used for calibrating the vector network analyzer, the influence from the network analyzer, the network analyzer to a TRL calibration piece cable and the calibration piece is removed after calibration, the open-circuit calibration piece and the pre-matching circuit are connected in a crimping or welding mode, and test data are cascade connection of pre-matching circuit parameters and capacitance effect parameters caused by structural discontinuity between the calibration piece and the pre-matching circuit, so that the pre-matching full-effect transmission parameters are formed.
The second is twice calibration, the traditional coaxial calibration piece provided by the vector network analyzer equipment manufacturer is used for calibrating the coaxial port of the vector network analyzer, and the calibration end face is fixed on the coaxial end face. The method comprises the steps of testing a T 'direct-connection calibration part 401, an R' left-side open-circuit calibration part 402, an R 'right-side open-circuit calibration part 403 and an L' delay calibration part 404, substituting test data into a TRL12 term error model or an 8 term error model formula, and extracting transmission parameters of the calibration parts, wherein the transmission parameters of the left-side open-circuit calibration part are 402, and the transmission parameters of the right-side open-circuit calibration part 403 are [ T _ A ] and [ T _ B ]. And testing the parameters of the cascade connection of the calibration piece and the pre-matching circuit, and obtaining the parameters of the pre-matching circuit through the operation of the parameters of the cascade connection of the calibration piece and the pre-matching circuit and the parameters of the calibration piece.
The second method is selected, and the significance is that the calibration of the first method, the test of the calibration piece and the calculation of the error model are completed in the vector network analyzer, the problem of the calibration piece can be seen by engineering personnel in a limited way, and once the calibration piece is designed with a problem, the subsequent test has larger errors. The second method is to use the high-precision calibration piece of the instrument manufacturer to carry out accurate calibration on the coaxial section, test the parameters of the TRL calibration piece, and the calculation of the error model is completed by the engineers, so that the complete calibration piece error model can be seen, and the problems possibly existing in the design of the calibration piece can be comprehensively evaluated and corrected.
FIG. 5 is a diagram of the hardware connections of the left open calibration piece 402 to collect and output the pre-matched full effect transmission parameter [ T _ discontinuity2] [ T _ LPTFB ].
According to the illustration of fig. 5, the left open calibration piece 402 is cascaded to the pre-matching output circuit 330, the left end surface 501 and the reference test surface 502 of the left open calibration piece are illustrated, the calibration reference surface of the left open calibration piece 402 is closely adjacent to the pin mounting area of the impedance transformation structure device of the pre-matching circuit 330, signal line communication is realized by crimping a 0.8mm metal sheet 510 with 1mm on the calibration reference surface, and then the whole transmission parameter [ T _ total1] of the cascaded circuit is extracted by a network analyzer.
The cascading mode is only a specific embodiment, and the circuits on the left side and the right side are processed on the same PCB circuit to extract parameters or other cascading modes without obvious innovation, and still fall into the protection scope of the patent.
The cascaded circuits have a size difference of 1 on the reference test plane 502: 5, its transmission parameter is equivalent to the transmission parameter of the discontinuous effect between the power device 200 and the pre-matching output circuit 330 [ T _ discontinuity2], and the cascade circuit overall transmission parameter [ T _ total1] [ T _ a ] [ T _ discontinuity2] [ T _ LPTFB ].
Since the calibration piece transmission parameters [ T _ A ], [ T _ total ] have been extracted, the pre-matched full effect transmission parameter [ T _ discontinuity2] [ T _ LPTFB ] < T _ A > < Lambda > -1 [ T _ total ] is output.
In the same way, the input jig 310 and the open circuit calibration device 403 are cascaded to extract the whole transmission parameter [ T _ total2] of the cascaded circuit, and the total pre-matching transmission parameter [ T _ LPTFA ] [ T _ discontinuity1] [ T _ B ] is input from [ T _ total2] [ T _ LPTFA ] [ T _ discontinuity1] [ T _ total1] [ T _ B ] < 1 >.
In step 102, a test target power device obtains test data, which includes load pull test data.
In step 103, the transmission parameters of the target power device are calculated according to the full-effect transmission parameters and the test data.
In some embodiments, step 103 comprises:
and through transmission parameter matrix operation, the test data is de-embedded into the full-effect transmission parameters to obtain the transmission parameters of the target power device.
Illustratively, fig. 6 is a block diagram of a typical load-pull automated test system.
The computer 601 tests and calculates radio frequency and direct current data under different source input impedance and load output impedance through devices such as a LAN/GPIB card control vector network analyzer 602, a power supply 603, a dual-channel power meter 604, an RF signal source 605, a source impedance tuner 609 and a load impedance tuner 613, and collects, processes and stores the data by using special software.
Specifically, when the system is in operation, the computer 601 controls the RF signal source 605 to provide an input signal, the driver amplifier 606 amplifies the signal to ensure that the input power is sufficient to drive the power tube to saturation, the directional coupler 607 transmits the power level information of the input signal to the dual-channel power meter 604, the isolator 608 ensures that the cascade connection of the driver amplifier 606 and the power device 200 is not prone to self-excitation, the power supply 603 provides a power bias for the power device 200, and the source impedance tuner 609 and the load impedance tuner 613 realize different source input and load output impedances at a specific frequency by controlling the lateral and longitudinal movements of the probe at the central axis of 50 ohm.
Since the power device 200 has a high output power, the power level is first reduced by the attenuator 614 to prevent the instrument from being damaged, and then the output power level information is transmitted to the dual-channel power meter 604. Through the above process, the power device 200 will test the dc rf data under different input and output impedances and be known by the computer 601 through the data interface with the device.
The presence of the vector network analyzer 602 has the following effects: calibrating the source impedance tuner 609 and the load impedance tuner 613 to obtain corresponding impedance values of any probe position of the impedance tuner under different frequencies; testing S parameters of the directional coupler 607, the isolator 608 and the attenuator 614, evaluating the radio frequency effect of the S parameters, and converting the acquired input and output power values to a first coaxial test end face and a second coaxial test end face; the calibration piece and the parameters of the pre-matching circuit are collected, and the full-effect parameters of the pre-matching input circuit 310 and the pre-matching output circuit 330 are obtained. The system firstly obtains the test data of the first end face and the second end face of the coaxial test through the test, and then converts the test data of the coaxial end face into the first end face and the second end face of the power device through the full-effect parameters of the pre-matching circuit, thereby completing the acquisition of the parameter values of the power device 200.
During testing, the power device 200 to be tested is attached to the pre-matching circuit, the parameter of the power device 200 is [ T _ DUT ], the pre-matching circuit reduces mismatching between the power device 200 and a test system, and the load traction system can safely and accurately test coaxial reference plane data [ T _ TOTAL ].
By
[T_TOTAL]=[T_LPTFA][T_discontinuity1][T_DUT][T_discontinuity2][T_LPTFB],
The following can be obtained:
[ T _ DUT ] - ([ T _ LPTFA ] [ T _ Distinguistivity 1]) ^ (-1) [ T _ TOTAL ] ([ T _ Distinguishing 2] [ T _ LPTFB ]) Lambda (-1) since the input pre-match full effect transmission parameter [ T _ LPTFA ] [ T _ Distinguishing 1] and the output pre-match full effect transmission parameter [ T _ Distinguishing 2] [ T _ LPTFB ] have been extracted, [ T _ TOTAL ] is also known by test, by the above formula, the power device 200 itself parameter [ T _ DUT ] can be known.
Compared with the traditional load traction test, the method for determining the transmission parameters of the power device obtains the real parameters of the tube by embedding the parameters of the load traction pre-matching circuit, ignores the structural discontinuity effect between the clamp and the device to be tested and causes the problem of impedance test precision. The invention provides a new de-embedding calibration method on the basis of applying a traditional load traction pre-matching circuit containing impedance transformation technology, a calibration piece does not contain an impedance change structure of the pre-matching circuit, structure optimization is carried out according to pin packaging of a power device to be tested, discontinuity effect between a device pin and the pre-matching circuit and parameters of the pre-matching circuit are simultaneously acquired, the parameters are combined with load traction test, real parameters of the power device are obtained, and the problem of impedance test errors caused by the discontinuity effect between the device pin and the pre-matching circuit is solved. In addition, because the design of the calibration piece is independent of the structure of the load traction pre-matching circuit, the calibration piece of the invention does not need to contain a feeder link, thereby reducing the problem of calibration error caused by the tolerance of the feeder link device and welding error.
