Design and testing approach of a non-contact GW-level high-power microwave online coupling measurement structure

  • 摘要: 高功率微波(HPM)系统集成过程中,微波源与传输发射分系统的对接状态直接影响系统性能,不良的对接状态可能引发射频击穿,导致系统输出功率降低。因此,诊断系统的对接状态具有重要工程价值。为此,开展了非接触式高功率微波传输技术研究,并针对采用圆锥喇叭作为馈源的Ku波段GW级HPM系统,提出了一种馈源喇叭注入功率测量技术。基于仿真设计,完成该测量技术的关键组件研制,并开展了小信号测试和功率容量考核试验。试验结果表明,在(15±0.15) GHz范围内,该测量组件的反射系数小于−26 dB,耦合系数为(−0.31±0.07) dB,功率容量超过900 MW。实验和仿真结果证明,提出的测量技术具有耦合系数稳定、测试误差小等性能,能够有效测量HPM源注入馈源喇叭的微波功率,并诊断HPM系统的对接状态。

     

    Abstract: During the integration of High Power Microwave (HPM) systems, the docking condition of the microwave source and the transmission-emission subsystem affects the HPM system performance directly. Poor docking conditions may cause radio frequency breakdown at the connection surface, which will result in the reduction of the entire system’s output power. Therefore, diagnosing the docking state of the system is of great engineering significance. For this reason, a non-contact high-power microwave transmission technology is investigated in this paper, and an injection power measurement method is proposed for a Ku-band GW-level HPM system using a conical horn as the feed source. Based on simulation designs, key subassembly of the technology was developed. In addition, the small signal test and power handling capacity assessment of the subassembly were carried out. The experimental outcomes demonstrated that the reflection coefficient was consistently below −26 dB, the coupling coefficient was (−0.31±0.07) dB within the frequency band of (15±0.15) GHz, and the power handling capacity exceeded 900 MW. The experimental and simulation results show that the proposed measurement technology not only has the characteristics of stable coupling coefficient and low test errors, but also can effectively measure the microwave power injected by HPM source through the feed-horn and diagnose the docking state of the HPM system.
