Technical field
The present invention relates to microwave testing field, more particularly to a kind of microwave Calibration Method for ATS.
Background technology
With the fast development of microwave technology, microelectric technique, information technology, the object to be tested function of itself is promoted more
Add abundant, technology to form and integrated fusion is more complicated and gos deep into, thus updated to measuring technology or Related product proposition, be higher
Technical requirements.
Test content based on traditional separate unit instrument and equipment does not adapt to new survey under many circumstances with pattern framework
Examination demand, to fusion synthesization, informationization, automate in one automatic Synthesis observing and controlling and information exchange Mode change,
Innovation is also required to simultaneously proposes or formed adaptable therewith detection calibration method and technology.
Calibration for microwave Auto-Test System at present is typically using online detection calibration mode in situ, i.e., micro-
Before ripple Auto-Test System is tested, each test end that power meter is respectively connecting to be connected with being tested object,
By cooperateing with calibration test with signal source, each test that microwave Auto-Test System is built automatically in test process
The insertion loss (systematic error) of passage extracts, there is provided follow-up error correction and data processing is tested, to improve test
The degree of accuracy;Or the detection calibration face of vector network analyzer is connected from instrument selftest ports-Extending to tested object
Each test end, by the systematic error of microwave Auto-Test System each TCH test channel constructed in test process
It is modified and handles by the calibration test that vector network analyzer is carried out in detection calibration face, improves test accuracy.
In the prior art using signal source, the side of power meter collaboration calibration correction TCH test channel insertion loss (systematic error)
Formula has a disadvantage that:
(1), in actual test application, often due to the passage of automatic Synthesis test is complicated with unconventional requirement, deposit
The situation for each test end being connected with being tested object is cannot connect in power meter, now which can not be applicable;
(2), the port mismatch of power meter itself can give the amendment of insertion loss (systematic error) to introduce error so as to reduce
The final test degree of accuracy;
(3), power meter needs to be respectively connecting to each test end being connected with tested object, calibration test process
Time-consuming, less efficient;

Calibration and amendment are re-started, influences the effective utilization of system;
Vector network analyzer is used in the prior art with detection calibration face extended mode calibration correction TCH test channel system
The mode of error has a disadvantage that:
(1), in actual test application, often due to the passage of automatic Synthesis test is complicated with unconventional requirement, arrow
Measure path length (insertion loss is big), the mismatch link between the instrument test port of Network Analyzer and detection calibration face (extension)
It is more, combination of channels state is more, beyond vector network analyzer calibration needed for state of the art claimed range, in detection calibration face
Calibration accuracy is poor to even result in calibration failure, can not meet the requirement of test accuracy;
(2), the calibration test of vector network analyzer needs to carry out in each detection calibration face, and whole test system is more logical
Time-consuming, less efficient for the calibration test process in road detection calibration face;
(3) if, the component units of TCH test channel change, the systematic error of corresponding TCH test channel needs to re-start
Calibration and amendment, influence the effective utilization of system;
(4) in actual test application, can exist toward contact can not use vector network analyzer to TCH test channel system
Error carries out the situation of calibration correction, at this moment can not meet to test application requirement using current calibrating mode.
