曲面透波构件介电测量的误差消除技术

    Research on error elimination technology for dielectric constant measurement of curved wave transmitting components

    • 摘要: 透波构件的介电常数是表征其电磁辐射特性的关键参数,对现代天线系统的稳定运行具有重要意义,自由空间法因为其非接触、非破坏性的特点被广泛应用于介电常数的测量。然而,传统的自由空间法通常要求待测件为表面光滑的平板结构,原因在于喇叭天线所辐射的电磁波会在待测件表面发生多次反射与折射,若待测件带有曲率,则会引发难以预估的曲面散射现象,从而影响最终测得的透射参数S21,并进一步干扰从S21中提取的介电常数。为此,本文提出一种误差校准方法,旨在修正测量天线罩这类复杂型面透波构件时,因曲面散射等难以通过理论解析求解的多种因素对S21造成的影响。该方法通过电磁仿真软件进行了仿真验证,并进一步结合对弧形板的实测,验证了其有效性。研究结果表明,该方法具备良好的可行性,有助于降低传统自由空间法对材料几何外形的约束。

       

      Abstract: The dielectric constant of wave transmitting components is the key parameter to characterize its electromagnetic radiation characteristics, which is of great significance for the stable operation of modern antenna system. Free space method is widely used in the measurement of dielectric constant because of its non-contact and non-destructive characteristics. However, the traditional free space method usually requires the tested part to be a flat plate structure with smooth surface. The reason is that the electromagnetic wave radiated by the horn antenna will have multiple reflections and refractions on the surface of the tested part. If the tested part has curvature, it will cause the surface scattering phenomenon that is difficult to estimate, which will affect the final measured transmission parameter S21 and further interfere with the dielectric constant extracted from S21. Therefore, this paper proposes an error calibration method to correct the influence on S21 caused by many factors, such as surface scattering, which are difficult to be solved by theoretical analysis, when measuring complex surface wave transmitting components such as radome. This method is verified by electromagnetic simulation software, and further combined with the actual measurement of arc plate, its effectiveness is verified. The results show that this method has good feasibility, and is helpful to reduce the constraints of the traditional free space method on the geometric shape of materials.
