The electric wave of propagating in the coaxial cable is a transverse electromagnetic wave.Its direction of an electric field is vertical with coaxial inner conductor; And the direction of an electric field of guided wave in pipe must be vertical with inside pipe wall.When the guided wave signal is excited rectangular waveguide and is changed over to circular waveguide by the coaxial cable interface, according to desired metallic surface field distribution boundary condition, have only vertical component to exist, therefore the electric field in pipe must be parallel with coaxial inner conductor.In like manner, when rectangular waveguide is coupled to the coaxial cable interface, also have only the electric field parallel just can input to coaxial cable with the electric field in the circular waveguide with coaxial inner conductor.Therefore transmit and can not enter into receiving cable and can only be to the transmission of probe side.And, in circular waveguide, can only motivate vertical electric field from the signal that probe receives, get into directional coupler after branch and can not pass to receiving port again, thereby further improved the isolation between the receiving and transmitting signal.Specify that the degree of coupling of directional coupler and isolation need meet design, could satisfy transmitting than receiving the strong requirement of signal.

In a word, this sensor probe is through tight section's mathematical operations and field experiment repeatedly finally finalize the design its mode of operation, signal source frequency of operation and form factors size.
The ultra-high frequency signal transceiver is the essential main utility appliance of apparatus, accomplishes the generation and the output of ultra-high frequency signal, also comprises swept signal source.It is formed in the framework with signal analysis and processing device and display module circuit; According to different calibers, choose the band limits of different ultra-high frequency signals.
The signal analysis and processing device is the core of this apparatus.Because this apparatus, according to anti-correlation or anti-(contrary) problem solving of the theoretical model of transmission line, different phase amount and amplitude can demonstrate the defective position and the degree of depth.Realized the functions such as signals collecting, conversion, storage, processing and I/O of electromagnetism guided wave through this part (unit), digital circuit, mimic channel, signals collecting and change-over circuit, storer etc. have been integrated in realize a systemic-function on the module.The reflected signal of naming a person for a particular job of important here key carries out time-domain analysis.In order to judge the measurement of transmission inverse correlation characteristic presentation, the position of the reflection wave that is shown and depth of defect.
Because the complicacy of electromagnetic wave basic theories, Theoretical Calculation and forward simulation all are based upon on the approximate basis, thus design data, process software, and the suitable special software of development.These theoretical research result and data processing software more help detection limit result's explanation in its application.Along with the further developing and using of the establishment of the anti-correlation of transmission line theory, instrument, data processing technique, can upgrade the renewal version of its software in time through the network interface of this instrument.If other algorithm of conversion, then this apparatus can be widely used in engineerings such as electric power, space flight, chemical industry.
The portable computer display interface device is accomplished transmission communication, the power supply of portable power supplies and the demonstration of flaw indication of the otdr signal of heat-transfer pipe as the display of acquired signal.The technology content of this instrument is very high, a plurality of parameters of once gathering, and the correlativity of each parameter and defective is good, and ageing strong, do not exist multiparameter repeatedly to measure the depth error that is easy to generate, help the accurate explanation of testing result.Integrate cable bus (CBS) technology and compatible its bus protocol.This agreement is meant in the exchanges data agreement of gathering on the instrument bus between single-chip microcomputer and each parameter measurement instrument EBI of bottom.Through interface, deliver to harbor through optical cable, under the control of main frame,, deliver to main frame through wiring control, data acquisition interface, with the data of sensor-based system and other peripheral hardware, send host process simultaneously through the data acquisition panel.
This heat-transfer pipe with the principle of guided wave pick-up unit institute foundation as follows:
Utilize the correlativity between leading wave propagation and phase-shift phase thereof and the heat transfering tube of heat exchanger defective,, try to achieve the position of defective through the Time Domain Reflectometry technology.Under normal circumstances, the leading wave propagation is according to following transmission line theory.
(1) shape of cross section of waveguide and medium characteristic do not change along axis z, promptly have axial homogeneity.
(2) metal waveguide is perfect conductor, i.e. γ=∞.Fill even, linear, isotropic perfect medium in the waveguide.
(3) there is not driving source to exist in the waveguide, i.e. ρ=0 and J=0.
(4) electromagnetic wave is propagated along the z axle, and an intercropping sinusoidal variations at any time.
Under above hypothesis, the electric field component of electromagnetic field and magnetic-field component all satisfy homogeneous wave equation
▿ 2 E · + k 2 E · = 0 - - - ( 1 - 1 )
▿ 2 H · + k 2 H · = 0 - - - ( 1 - 2 )
is wave number in the formula.Since the waveguide axis is along the z direction, no matter how complicated wave propagation situation so is in waveguide, its final effect can only be a guided electromagnetic wave that advances along the z direction.Thereby can be write as waveguide internal electric field component and magnetic-field component
E · = E ( x , y ) e - γz - - - ( 1 - 3 )
H · = H ( x , y ) e - γz - - - ( 1 - 4 )
Wherein E (x, y) and H (x y) is function undetermined.γ is the propagation constant of ripple along the z direction.With (1-3) formula substitution equation (1-1) formula,
▿ t 2 E ( x , y ) + k c 2 E ( x , y ) = 0 - - - ( 1 - 5 )
Here
Figure BSA00000640099400087
is horizontal Laplace operator.In the formula
k c 2=k 22 (1-6)
In like manner
▿ t 2 H ( x , y ) + k c 2 H ( x , y ) = 0 - - - ( 1 - 7 )
Can by equation (1-5) journey (1-7) to E (x, y) and H (x, y) scalar wave equation of each component.Also can find the solution the wave equation of longitudinal field component earlier, obtain two longitudinal component Ez and Hz, and then try to achieve all cross stream components according to electromagnetic field fundamental equation group.The scalar wave equation that longitudinal field component Ez and Hz satisfy does
∂ 2 Ez ∂ x 2 + ∂ 2 Ez ∂ y 2 + k c 2 Ez = 0 - - - ( 1 - 8 )
∂ 2 Hz ∂ x 2 + ∂ 2 Hz ∂ y 2 + k c 2 Hz = 0 - - - ( 1 - 9 )
Try to achieve Ez and H by above-mentioned two equations Z0After, can obtain four transverse field components by two vorticity equations from electromagnetic field fundamental equation group
Ex = - 1 k c 2 ( γ ∂ Ez ∂ x + jωμ ∂ Hz ∂ y )
Ey = 1 k c 2 ( - γ ∂ Ez ∂ x + jωμ ∂ Hz ∂ y )
Hx = 1 k c 2 ( jωϵ ∂ Ez ∂ y - γ ∂ Hz ∂ x )
Hy = - 1 k c 2 ( jωϵ ∂ Ez ∂ y + γ ∂ Hz ∂ x ) - - - ( 1 - 10 )
All amounts are only relevant with coordinate x and y in the following formula.
According to above analysis, EHz or Hz component possibly appear in the guided electromagnetic wave of in waveguide, propagating.Therefore, can be according to the situation that exists of Zen and Hz, the guided electromagnetic wave that will in waveguide, propagate is divided into three kinds of wave modes (or pattern): TEM wave mode, TE wave mode and TM wave mode.
Evenly not having the consumption equation for transmission line does
d 2 U ( z ) dz 2 - β 2 U ( z ) = 0 d 2 I ( z ) dz 2 - β 2 I ( z ) = 0
Its separate into
U ( z ) = A 1 e - jβz + A 2 e jβz
I ( z ) = 1 Z 0 ( A 1 e - jβz - A 2 e jβz )
Its parameter does Z 0 = L 0 C 0 , β = 2 π λ p , v p = v 0 ϵ r , λ p = λ 0 ϵ r
