Description

Device and method for solving magnetic resonance communication detuning problem of wearable equipment
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device and a method for solving the problem of magnetic resonance communication detuning of wearable equipment.
Background
The magnetic resonance communication of the wearable equipment is a novel communication mode of interaction among the wearable equipment, and the mode needs a coil for exciting a magnetic field in the equipment to work at a resonant frequency so as to exert the advantage of low path loss. However, the resonance frequency of the coil is changed due to the influence of the capacitance effect between the coil and the wearer, and the change is also influenced by the physiological parameter difference of the wearer, the change of the movement state and the like. This phenomenon may result in the coil not operating in a resonant state, resulting in a large increase in path loss between wearable devices. The current solution to the problem of coil detuning is generally to add an automatic impedance matching module to the coil. The design mode of the automatic impedance matching module is realized by taking a stepping motor, an adjustable capacitor and an adjustable inductor as cores; the other is realized by taking a capacitor inductance array and a large number of relays as cores. Both methods can cause the overall size of the module to be too large and the power consumption to be too high, and are not suitable for the field of wearable equipment focusing on light weight and low power consumption. In addition, the two methods need to obtain the capacitance value and the inductance value of the impedance matching network through iterative computation, the iterative computation time is long, and the method is not suitable for being applied to magnetic resonance wearable equipment with resonance points easy to change.

Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 2, the present invention provides a device for solving the problem of magnetic resonance communication mismatch of a wearable device, wherein a direct digital frequency synthesizer module is used for generating a signal with a specified frequency; the directional coupler module is used for separating an incident signal and a reflected signal of the coil; the amplitude discrimination circuit module is used for calculating a reflection coefficient by carrying out ratio operation on the separated incident signal and the reflection signal, outputting a voltage value corresponding to the reflection coefficient, wherein the larger the reflection coefficient is, the larger the output voltage value is, and the design of the amplitude discrimination circuit module can refer to the AD8302 module; the ADC module is used for collecting the output voltage value of the amplitude discrimination circuit module; the microcontroller module is used as a microprocessor to control the work of each module and process the data sampled by the ADC to obtain a frequency value corresponding to the minimum reflection coefficient.
When the device tracks the resonant frequency, the switch 9 is turned on and the switch 8 is turned off, the microcontroller controls the sending signal of the direct digital frequency synthesizer sweep frequency to be transmitted to the coil through the directional coupler, meanwhile, the directional coupler separates the incident and reflected signals of the coil, the amplitude discrimination module outputs the reflection coefficient of the coil under each frequency signal according to the incident and reflected signals, and the microcontroller obtains the reflection coefficient under each frequency signal by using the ADC. According to the principle of the time domain reflectometry shown in fig. 1, the frequency corresponding to the minimum coil reflection coefficient is the resonant frequency. And then the microcontroller takes the frequency corresponding to the minimum reflection coefficient as the working frequency, so that the coil is in a resonant working state. The switches 8 are then turned on and 9 are turned off and the device performs normal communication operation. When the resonance frequency of the coil changes, the new resonance frequency is acquired again through the mode, so that the working frequency changes along with the change of the resonance frequency of the coil, and the coil can be kept in a resonance state all the time.
The invention also provides a method for solving the problem of magnetic resonance communication detuning of the wearable equipment, which adopts the device, and the following operations are executed on the device, and the functional flow chart of the device is shown in figure 3:
after the device is started, the device enters a resonant frequency tracking state, and the microcontroller controls the switch 9 to be conducted through the switches 2 and 7 (the switch 6 is a signal input end, the switch 6 is directly connected with the switch 9 when the switch 9 is conducted, and the switch 6 is directly connected with the switch 8 when the switch 8 is conducted), and the device is controlled to be in a resonant frequency tracking state according to the preset upper and lower sweep limits (f 1 ~f n ) And the sweep frequency step length is controlled by 1 and 4 to generate signals by a direct digital frequency synthesizer according to a certain time interval and output the signals by 5. Each frequency ofThe signal will flow through 10 into the directional coupler and out 11 and into the coil 14. The directional coupler separates the incident signal and the reflected signal of the coil at the current frequency signal and outputs the incident signal and the reflected signal from 12, 13 to the amplitude discrimination circuit module. The amplitude discrimination circuit finds the coil reflection coefficient from the incident signals and the reflected signals flowing in 15, 16, and outputs a voltage value corresponding to the reflection coefficient from 17. The microcontroller collects the voltage value output by the amplitude discrimination circuit module 17 through 3 by using the ADC module, and the frequency corresponding to the minimum voltage value is the resonance frequency of the coil. Then, the microcontroller switches on the switch 8 to conduct normal communication, and the frequency of the working signal generated by the direct digital frequency synthesizer is the tracked resonant frequency, so that the tracking of the resonant frequency is completed. In the normal communication state, the device enters the monitoring state with the period of T. The microcontroller switches on the switch 9 in the monitoring state, acquires the reflection coefficient of the coil at the current working frequency, and compares the reflection coefficient with a preset threshold value in the interior so as to judge whether the coil is detuned at the working frequency. If the resonance frequency is not tuned, the resonance frequency tracking is started again, and if the resonance frequency is not tuned, the switch is switched back to 8 to conduct, and normal communication is continued.
The device of the invention is used in the following modes: before using the function of the device, the upper and lower limits of the sweep frequency, the frequency step length and the monitoring period T are set. The smaller the step size, the closer the resulting resonant frequency is to the truly shifted resonant frequency, but too small a step size also increases the resonant frequency tracking time. The monitoring period is the time interval during which the device monitors whether the coil is detuned, once per period. After the parameters are set, the function of the device can be used, and the device can automatically judge whether the frequency of the signal needs to be adjusted according to the internal voltage threshold value, so that the problem of detuning of the coil is solved.
The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all changes made according to the technical solution of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention when the generated functional effects do not exceed the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
