Detailed Description
The present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of specific embodiments. Wherein like elements in different embodiments are numbered alike in association. In the following embodiments, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present application. However, one skilled in the art will readily recognize that some of the features may be omitted, or replaced by other elements, materials, or methods in different situations. In some instances, some operations associated with the present application have not been shown or described in the specification to avoid obscuring the core portions of the present application, and may not be necessary for a person skilled in the art to describe in detail the relevant operations, as will be apparent from the description herein and the general knowledge of one skilled in the art.
Furthermore, the described features, operations, or characteristics of the description may be combined in any suitable manner in various embodiments. Also, various steps or acts in the method descriptions may be interchanged or modified in a manner apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. Thus, the various orders in the description and drawings are for clarity of description of only certain embodiments, and are not meant to be required orders unless otherwise indicated.
The numbering of the components itself, e.g. "first", "second", etc., is used herein merely to distinguish between the described objects and does not have any sequential or technical meaning. The terms "coupled" and "connected," as used herein, are intended to encompass both direct and indirect coupling (coupling), unless otherwise indicated.
In the current scheme, the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe is generally obtained by measuring the S11 parameter (reflection coefficient) of the high-frequency power supply probe through a vector network analyzer and then based on a calculation conversion formula corresponding to the S11 parameter. However, since the lowest measurement frequency of the vector network analyzer cannot reach below KHz, for example, the lowest measurement frequency is only 100KHz, the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe at the low frequency band cannot be measured. Moreover, the performance of the high-frequency power supply probe is not evaluated based on the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the low frequency band in the current scheme, but the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the low frequency band is ensured by design. However, if the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the low frequency band is not judged in the production test, the overall performance of the high-frequency power supply probe is affected.
In some embodiments of the present application, the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the high frequency band is measured by the vector network analysis unit, and the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the low frequency band is output to the high-frequency power supply probe by the signal measurement unit, and the response signal divided by the high-frequency power supply probe based on the excitation signal is obtained, and the input impedance is obtained based on the excitation signal and the response signal. And finally, obtaining the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the full frequency range by the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the high frequency range and the low frequency range. And whether the input impedance of the full frequency band of the high-frequency power supply probe meets the requirement can be judged based on the input impedance of the full frequency band so as to improve the production quality.
Some embodiments provide a measurement system for input impedance of a high-frequency power supply probe, which can be used for measuring input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in a high frequency band and a low frequency band, so that an input impedance curve of the high-frequency power supply probe in a full frequency band can be obtained, whether the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe meets requirements can be comprehensively evaluated, and production quality is improved. Referring to fig. 1, the measurement system includes a vector network analysis unit 10, a signal measurement unit 20, a signal switching unit 30, a processing unit 40, and a display unit 50, which are respectively described in detail below.
The vector network analysis unit 10 is used for measuring input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe when the high-frequency power supply probe is connected. In some embodiments, the vector network analysis unit 10 may be implemented by using a vector network analyzer, and is connected to a first end of a high-frequency power supply probe through a measurement end thereof, and a second end of the high-frequency power supply probe is grounded. When the vector network analyzer outputs an incident signal to the high-frequency power supply probe at a certain frequency, the high-frequency power supply probe returns a reflected signal based on the incident signal and is received by the vector network analyzer. Based on the relation between the incident signal and the reflected signal, the S11 parameter (reflection coefficient) of the high-frequency power supply probe can be obtained, and the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe at a certain frequency can be finally obtained, for example, the input impedance can be directly obtained by processing the input impedance by a vector network analyzer. In some embodiments, the vector network analysis unit 10 may also be part of a circuit for implementing input impedance measurement in a vector network analyzer, for example, the vector network analysis unit 10 includes an incident signal source module and a directional coupler, where the incident signal source module is used to generate an incident signal and output the incident signal to a first end of the directional coupler, the directional coupler is used to divide the incident signal into power and output the power to the high-frequency power supply probe through a second end thereof, and output the power to perform subsequent signal processing through a third end thereof, a fourth end of the directional coupler is used to output a reflected signal returned by the high-frequency power supply probe, and the reflected signal output by the fourth end of the directional coupler and the incident signal output by the third end of the directional coupler may be processed and analyzed based on the processing unit 40 to obtain the input impedance.
In some embodiments, the vector network analysis unit 10 has the lowest measurement frequency and the highest measurement frequency of the higher frequency when measuring the input impedance of the high frequency power supply probe, so the vector network analysis unit 10 may be used to measure the input impedance of the high frequency power supply probe in the high frequency band. For example, the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the first frequency range can be measured, the minimum frequency in the first frequency range is greater than or equal to the minimum measurement frequency, the maximum frequency in the first frequency range can be set according to measurement requirements and does not exceed the maximum measurement frequency, and for example, the first frequency range can be 50khz-10Ghz. In some embodiments, when the vector network analysis unit 10 performs input impedance measurement on the high-frequency power supply probe, an incident signal is output to the high-frequency power supply probe at a plurality of frequencies in the first frequency band range, respectively, and a reflected signal returned by the high-frequency power supply probe based on the incident signal is received. For example, the frequency sweep output may be performed at each frequency in the first frequency range, so as to obtain the input impedance corresponding to each frequency in the first frequency range of the high-frequency power supply probe. For example, the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe corresponding to each frequency in the first frequency range may be obtained by performing sweep output with a portion of each frequency in the first frequency range and then fitting based on the input impedance corresponding to the portion of each frequency.
The signal measurement unit 20 is used for performing input impedance measurement on the high-frequency power supply probe when the high-frequency power supply probe is connected. In some embodiments, the signal measurement unit 20 has a signal output and a measurement end, wherein the signal output and the measurement end are respectively connected to a first end of the high frequency power probe, and a second end of the high frequency power probe is grounded. When the signal measuring unit 20 outputs the excitation signal at a certain frequency through the signal output terminal, the measuring terminal obtains the response signal divided by the high-frequency power supply probe based on the excitation signal. Based on the output impedance of the signal measuring unit 20 and the voltage proportional relationship between the excitation signal and the response signal, the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe at the certain frequency can be obtained.
In some embodiments, the signal measurement unit 20 only needs to measure the low frequency band that cannot be measured by the vector network analysis unit 10 when measuring the input impedance of the high frequency power supply probe. For example, the signal measurement unit 20 may measure the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the second frequency range, where the maximum frequency in the second frequency range is greater than or equal to the minimum frequency in the first frequency range and less than the maximum frequency in the first frequency range, and the minimum frequency in the second frequency range may be set according to the measurement requirement, so that the first frequency range plus the second frequency range includes the frequency range to be measured of the high-frequency power supply probe, so as to satisfy the measurement of the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the full frequency range. For example, when the first frequency range is 50khz-10Ghz, the second frequency range may be 0khz-50khz, or may be 0.01khz-100khz, so that the frequency range to be measured of the high-frequency power supply probe may satisfy the range of 0khz-10Ghz. In some embodiments, when the signal measurement unit 20 performs input impedance measurement on the high-frequency power supply probe, excitation signals are output to the high-frequency power supply probe at a plurality of frequencies in the second frequency band range, respectively, and response signals of the high-frequency power supply probe based on the partial voltage of the excitation signals are received. For example, the frequency sweep output may be performed at each frequency in the second frequency range, so as to obtain the input impedance corresponding to each frequency in the second frequency range of the high-frequency power supply probe. For example, the frequency sweep output may be performed by using a portion of each frequency in the second frequency range, and then fitting may be performed based on the input impedance corresponding to the portion of the frequency, so as to obtain the input impedance corresponding to each frequency of the high-frequency power supply probe in the second frequency range.
Referring to fig. 2 and 4, in some embodiments, the signal measurement unit 20 includes a signal source module 22 and a voltage measurement module 24. The signal source module 22 is configured to output excitation signals to the high-frequency power supply probe at a plurality of frequencies in the second frequency range. The voltage measurement module 24 is used for obtaining the voltage value of the response signal divided by the high-frequency power supply probe based on the excitation signal. In some embodiments, the signal source module 22 may be implemented by a signal generator, or may be implemented by a part of a circuit that generates a signal. The voltage measurement module 24 may be implemented by an oscilloscope, a multimeter, or some other circuit, such as a voltage measurement circuit.
In some embodiments, for example, at a certain frequency, where the set value of the excitation signal output by the signal source module 22 is VS and the voltage value of the excitation signal acquired by the voltage measurement module 24 is VT, the input impedance ZIN of the high-frequency power supply probe is:
ZIN=RO*VT/(VS-VT);
where R0 is the output impedance of the signal source module 22, which is known and is typically 50Ω. Thus, the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe at the certain frequency can be calculated. When the frequency sweep output is carried out by each frequency in the second frequency range, the input impedance corresponding to each frequency of the high-frequency power supply probe in the second frequency range can be obtained.
Referring to fig. 3 and 5, in some embodiments, since the high-frequency power supply probe has the characteristics of high low-frequency input impedance and low high-frequency input impedance, the low-frequency input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe is relatively large and has a relatively large phase difference with the output impedance of the signal source module 22, and meanwhile, the voltage measurement of the excitation signal is also affected by the accuracy of the voltage measurement module 24, so that the input impedance ZIN error of the high-frequency power supply probe is relatively large. For this purpose, the signal measuring unit 20 may also comprise a reference resistor, wherein a first end of the reference resistor is connected to the signal source module 22 and a second end thereof is connected to the first end of the high-frequency power supply probe. At this time, at the certain frequency, the input impedance ZIN of the high-frequency power supply probe is:
ZIN=(RO+R1)*VT/(VS-VT);
wherein R1 is the impedance of the reference resistor. After the reference resistance is increased, the output impedance of the signal source module 22 is increased, so that the input impedance ZIN measurement accuracy of the high-frequency power supply probe is improved.
The signal switching unit 30 is used to connect the vector network analysis unit 10 with the high-frequency power supply probe and disconnect the signal measurement unit 20 from the high-frequency power supply probe. Alternatively, the signal measurement unit 20 is connected to the high-frequency power supply probe, and the vector network analysis unit 10 is disconnected from the high-frequency power supply probe. In some embodiments, the signal switching unit 30 may be switched by manual wiring, and sends a switching signal to the processing unit 40 after the switching is completed. In some embodiments, the signal switching unit 30 may be an alternative rf switch, and the rf switch may be controlled by the processing unit 40 to implement an automatic switching function.
Referring to fig. 6, the processing unit 40 is configured to obtain each excitation signal and response signal of the signal measurement unit 20, and then obtain input impedance corresponding to each frequency of the high-frequency power supply probe in the second frequency range based on each excitation signal and response signal and output impedance of the signal measurement unit 20. Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the processing unit 40 may directly obtain input impedances corresponding to frequencies of the high-frequency power supply probe measured by the vector network analysis unit 10 in the first frequency range, and the processing unit 40 may also be configured to obtain input impedances corresponding to frequencies of the high-frequency power supply probe in the first frequency range based on the respective incident signals and reflected signals of the vector network analysis unit 10. In some embodiments, the processing unit 40 may be implemented based on a processor, an analog-to-digital converter, or the like for signal processing. In some embodiments, the processing unit 40 may be an upper computer, so that it may be directly connected to the vector network analyzer to obtain input impedance corresponding to each frequency of the high-frequency power supply probe in the first frequency range. The upper computer can also be respectively connected with the signal generator and the oscilloscope, so that the frequency and the set value of the excitation signal are directly obtained, the voltage value of the measured response signal is directly obtained, and the input impedance corresponding to each frequency of the high-frequency power supply probe in the second frequency range is obtained after the data processing is carried out.
In some embodiments, the processing unit 40 may first control the signal switching unit 30 to connect the vector network analysis unit 10 with the high-frequency power supply probe, and complete the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the first frequency band range. The signal switching unit 30 may be controlled to connect the signal measuring unit 20 with the high-frequency power supply probe first, and complete the input impedance of the high-frequency power supply probe in the second frequency band range.
Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, the processing unit 40 is further configured to obtain an input impedance of the high-frequency power probe in the frequency band to be measured based on the input impedance of the high-frequency power probe in the first frequency band range and the second frequency band range. In some embodiments, the processing unit 40 obtains frequencies that are not overlapped in the first frequency range and the second frequency range, and respectively includes input impedances corresponding to the frequencies that are not overlapped into input impedances of the frequency range to be measured. The processing unit 40 obtains the overlapping frequencies in the first frequency range and the second frequency range, and determines the input impedance when the overlapping frequencies are included in the frequency range to be measured based on the input impedance corresponding to the overlapping frequencies in the first frequency range and the second frequency range, respectively. For example, the input impedance of the overlapped frequency may be determined as the input impedance corresponding to the input impedance in the first frequency range, or the input impedance of the overlapped frequency may be determined as the input impedance corresponding to the input impedance in the second frequency range, or weights may be set for the input impedances corresponding to the overlapped frequency in the first frequency range and the second frequency range, respectively, so as to obtain the input impedance when the overlapped frequency is included in the frequency to be measured based on the weights.
In some embodiments, when determining the input impedance of the overlapped frequency, an average value of the input impedance corresponding to the overlapped frequency in the first frequency range and the second frequency range may be obtained, so as to be used as the input impedance when the overlapped frequency is included in the frequency range to be measured, that is, the input impedance and the input impedance occupy the same weight. For example, the input impedance in the first frequency range has (100, 50), (200, 50), (300, 51), and the input impedance in the second frequency range has (1,5000), (10, 5000), (100, 51), where the former digit represents the frequency and the latter digit represents the input impedance. The input impedances into the frequency band under test are (1,5000), (10, 5000), (100, 50.5), (200, 50), (300, 51).
The display unit 50 is used for displaying an input impedance curve of the high-frequency power supply probe in a frequency band to be measured. Wherein the abscissa of the input impedance curve is frequency and the ordinate is input impedance. In some embodiments, the display unit 50 may be a part of a host computer or may be a separate display.

The signal source module 22 is configured to output excitation signals to the high-frequency power supply probe at a plurality of frequencies in the second frequency band range, respectively. The second frequency range includes the second frequency range, and the maximum frequency in the second frequency range is smaller than the maximum frequency in the first frequency range, for example, when the first frequency range is 50khz-10Ghz and the second frequency range is 0khz-50khz, the second frequency range may be 0khz-50khz or 0khz-100khz. In some embodiments, the signal source module 22 may be implemented based on a signal generator.
