以下將上述元件之間的互動關係作詳細說明。The interaction between the above components will be described in detail below.

壓控震盪器100會接收來自電源供應器110之直流偏壓C,並根據直流偏壓C之大小以提供射頻訊號R1,其中射頻訊號R1所具有之頻率f大小係由直流偏壓C之大小來決定。壓控震盪器100會將射頻訊號R1提供至射頻導引器200之第一埠201以使其可被接收。The voltage controlled oscillator 100 receives the DC bias C from the power supply 110 and provides an RF signal R1 according to the DC bias C.

Antenna A, and draws the power of the reflected energy E returned, and outputs the measured result to the display unit, as shown in the second figure. Wherein, the horizontal axis represents the frequency f of the radio frequency signal R1, and the unit thereof is gigahertz (GHz), and the vertical axis represents that the processor 500 performs the operation according to the frequency f and the reflected energy E to obtain a reflection coefficient. The unit is dB, which operates at a frequency f of 2.0 to 2.8 GHz. The measurable minimum reflection coefficient is approximately -20 dB. A total of 65 points are scanned over the operating frequency range. The time required is approximately 30 seconds. The curve L indicates the magnitude of the reflection coefficient at different frequencies f. According to the magnitude of the reflection coefficient, it can be determined whether the antenna A achieves impedance matching. When the reflection coefficient is smaller, the impedance matching of the antenna A is better. That is, when the frequency f falls between 2.5 GHz and 2.6 GHz, the best impedance matching can be obtained.
