Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing embodiments of the invention are introduced in more detail.Embodiment 1
With reference to the accompanying drawings one embodiment of the present of invention are introduced.Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of expression according to the structure of the detector that is used for electronic installation of the present invention, and Fig. 2 A is the calcspar of detector; Fig. 2 B is the level synoptic diagram of a signal and a voltage; And Fig. 2 C is the curve map of I/O characteristic that expression is used for the detector of electronic installation.In Fig. 1, reference number 1 representative may produce the housing of the destination apparatus of discharge, 2 represent this destination apparatus, 3 represent an antenna, are used to receive the microwave signal by discharge generation, and it is attached on the destination apparatus housing 1,4 representatives are connected to the signal processing apparatus on the antenna 3, its amplification and detect microwave signal, and the picture signal of amplification detection, and 13 output terminals of representing output image signal.This microwave detector is made up of antenna 3, signal processing apparatus 4 and output terminal 13.Fig. 2 A is the calcspar that expression is used for the detector of electronic installation.In the drawings, reference number 3 representatives receive the microwave signal by discharge generation, 5a represents the bandpass filter of high frequency band, it only allows to be passed through by the assigned frequency component of the microwave signal of antenna reception, 6 represent a low noise amplifier, bandpass filter 5a and output are amplified, the 5b representative is used for the bandpass filter of high frequency band, 10 represent a wave detector, it is a converting means, be used for and will be transformed to picture signal by the microwave signal of bandpass filter 5b output, the image signal amplifier of these picture signals is amplified in 11 representatives, and 13 output terminals of representing output image signal.
Introduce its operating mode below.Consult Fig. 2 A and 2B, utilize antenna 3 can receive by the power of discharge generation in the electronic installation be P1 microwave signal f1 (5 kilo-mega cycles per seconds for example, as shown in figure 16).The gain of being exported according to antenna by antenna makes power bring up to the signal f1 of P2 then.After this, signal f1 is by the bandpass filter 5a of high frequency band, and the output of this wave filter is because the P3 that the loss power of wave filter reduces.After this, to be amplified to level by low noise amplifier 6 be P4 in this output.Have only the component of signal that needs just to be allowed to by bandpass filter 5b.Utilizing wave detector 10 directly microwave signal to be transformed to picture signal (level is V1), is a DC signal.Utilize image signal amplifier 11 that picture signal is enlarged into the signal of level for V2, through output terminal 13 outputs.Because frequency is lower, and is higher by the electromagnetic power level (seeing Figure 16) of discharge generation.After this, bandpass filter 5a tolerance frequency be the signal of f1 ± hundreds of megahertz (for example f ± 100 megahertzes) from passing through therebetween, make the semiconductor devices (for example low noise amplifier 6) of detector can prevent to be damaged owing to the low-frequency electromagnetic wave of high power levels.Because the noise that in low noise amplifier 6, produces, noise is added among the signal f1.In the usual way, use bandpass filter 5b so that eliminate this noise.Utilize for example oscillograph observation output signal of optional viewing device.Shown in Fig. 3 A and 3B, for example, on screen, show the plus or minus half-wave part of the envelope signal of microwave signal.
In Fig. 2 B, represent the maximum level that detects by the top straight line, utilize the bottom straight line to represent the minimum detection level.Even under the identical situation of frequency, the electromagnetic wave power level also changes with discharge mode.The electromagnetic level that produces in the unusual initial stage of electronic installation is very low, or is-100 to-80 decibels.Need to detect minimum level.
Along with the development of electronic installation abnormal conditions, the intensity of discharge increases, and is also increased by the electromagnetic level of discharge generation, therefore, preferably makes dynamic range big as much as possible.Yet dynamic range is subjected to making the restriction of the characteristic (for example saturated) of used various elements, therefore, defines the maximum level Pmax that detects.
Fig. 2 C represents the I/O characteristic of detector.According to above-mentioned working result, the corresponding picture signal that is between minimum and maximum level Pmin of detection and the Pmax of the level of output and microwave signal.Characteristic according to using the semiconductor devices in detector etc. has determined various I/O characteristics.Therefore, when the level of microwave signal was not higher than Pmin, this microwave signal " hid " " after the noise " of detector itself, made to detect this microwave signal.When the level of microwave signal was not less than Vmax, amplifier or wave detector were saturated, can not obtain level and surpass peaked picture signal output.
The receiving sensitivity of the structure of this embodiment is not very high, but is enough for the discharged condition of for example penetrating the high electromagnetic wave level (approximately-80 to-50 decibels) of generation by the arc discharge or the spark discharge width of cloth.Therefore, this embodiment is applicable to the electromagnetic wave of the level that detection is high relatively.
As mentioned above, the electromagnetic wave of discharge generation has wide band each frequency component, takes microwave band to from low frequency.Therefore the frequency band that is lower than microwave band is easy to be interfered by for example occupied for the various electromagnetic waves of broadcast wave and communication ripple.In contrast, microwave is restricted on using, and it produces very big decay in the space, is difficult to be subjected to the electromagnetic influence in the space.Therefore, microwave is muting basically.With utilize sound wave different, utilize this embodiment of microwave not need the noise that is produced by the phenomenon that is different from discharge is taked the counteracting measure, thereby can right judgement.
Under the situation of using low-frequency band,, need a kind of device of eliminating electromagnetic wave noise in order to detect discharge.In this embodiment, this device then not necessarily, this wave detector directly is transformed to picture signal with microwave, makes that circuit structure is simple.In addition, owing to use microwave band, the each several part of detector can constitute according to very little size.Therefore,, make the microwave detector microminiaturization, can produce economically according to this embodiment.
Can utilize the directionality of antenna, detect the discharge in optional spatial dimension.
In this embodiment, the each several part of detector can constitute according to very little size, realizes contactless discharge detection method.Thereby detector is installed the restriction that is not subjected to insulation distance and mounting means.
In this embodiment, get with mode reed of electricity because the signal (discharge-electromagnetism wave amplitude is penetrated) that the fundamemtal phenomena that discharge causes produces.Therefore, with chemical method (decomposition-collection of discharge-heating-organic insulation material-analysis-detection), can detect and be easier to judge discharge quickly.
Owing to can make the detector microminiaturization, can dispose a lot of detectors, the feasible position that produces according to the differential analysis electromagnetic wave of detection time and level etc.Embodiment 2

Introduce its operating mode below.Antenna 3 receives by the microwave signal f1 that produces discharge generation in the electronic installation.Signal f1 is provided to frequency mixer 7 then by bandpass filter 5a, be amplified to predetermined level by low noise amplifier 6.Providing frequency by oscillator 8 output terminals by frequency mixer 7 is the signal of f2.The result is by the signal of frequency mixer 7 output intermediate frequency f3=f1-f2.Frequency f 2 is predetermined, makes the intermediate frequency of signal f3 be about the hundreds of megahertz.By extracting a required signal in this signal, utilize intermediate frequency signal amplifier 9 to amplify by bandpass filter 12, utilize this wave detector 10 to be transformed to picture signal then.Utilize image signal amplifier 11 to amplify this picture signal, then through output terminal 13 outputs.When frequency mixer 7 carries out frequency transformation, produce the spur signal of 2f1-f2 and 2f2-f1.Utilize bandpass filter 12 to eliminate these spur signals.For example the optional viewing device for example oscillograph observe output signal by the transmission of this output terminal.
When single-frequency signals was amplified, low noise amplifier must have high-gain.In amplifier,, for example vibrate then through having problems to the unifrequency high-gain.In said structure, this frequency is transformed, and the amplifier that is respectively applied for high frequency and intermediate frequency part is provided respectively.Therefore, improved the stability of detector, prevented from for example to occur for the problem of vibrating.When frequency is low, can make Amplifier Gain higher under stable situation.Thereby, the gain of intermediate frequency signal amplifier 9 can be easy to set higherly, must be lower with the gain setting of low noise amplifier 6, make it possible to detect reliably by the low level electromagnetic wave of having of discharge generation, improve whereby and detect performance.Embodiment 3
