    摘要:

    针对大带外抑制滤波器传输和反射特性的测试需求,提出了一种矢量网络分析仪动态范围的原位拓展方法。 该方法在 不改变仪器硬件架构的前提下,在测试链路中增加低噪声放大器,通过把微小信号放大来拓展动态范围,并采用互相关的信号 处理算法,通过对两路测试数据进行多次运算进一步降低了仪器的噪声基底。 为提升测试精度,解决因低噪声放大器的引入导 致无法直接获取接收端口误差项的问题,设计了基于 12 项误差模型的两步校准方法,并完成了连接适配器参数的提取和去嵌 入。 最后,对两个不同频段的大带外抑制滤波器进行特性测量。 试验结果表明,200 Hz 中频带宽下动态范围可以达到 130 dB, 相对于常规仪器的动态范围可以提升 20 dB 以上,验证了方法的有效性。

    Abstract:

    To meet the test requirements of large out-of-band suppression filter transmission and reflection characteristics, this article proposes an in-suit enhancement method for the dynamic range of a VNA. The method has add a low-noise amplifier to the test chain without changing the hardware architecture of the instrument, extend dynamic range by amplifying tiny signals, and the cross-correlation signal processing algorithm is adopted. The noise floor of the instrument is further reduced by performing multiple operations on the twochannel test data. To improve the test accuracy and solve the problem that the error term of the receiving port cannot be directly obtained due to the introduction of the low noise amplifier, this article designs a two-step calibration method based on a 12-term error model. The extraction and de-embedding of the connection adapter parameters is finished. Finally, the characteristics of the large out-of-band rejection filters in two different frequency bands are measured by using the proposed method. Experimental results show that the dynamic range of the IF bandwidth of 200 Hz can reach 130 dB, which can be improved by more than 20 dB compared to the dynamic range of conventional instruments. The effectiveness of the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.
