Each module is arranged in a hand-held box body, so that the outdoor field can use the modules conveniently. The box body is designed in a water sealing mode and is divided into a front cover plate and a rear shell, and the joint part adopts a rubber strip to fill up gaps so as to ensure the water sealing property.

The variable attenuator has two states of direct connection and attenuation, and changes the amplitude of input and output signals according to two test methods of an air interface test and a wiring test; or a fixed attenuator can be used instead, the attenuator is arranged outside, the attenuator is not used during the air interface test, and the attenuator is used during the wiring test, as shown in fig. 2;

when implemented with a variable attenuator, this part is always inside the detector, and either the output of the excitation signal or the reception of the response signal requires the variable attenuator. During the connection test, the variable attenuator is always in an attenuation state, so that on one hand, a small signal can be output to excite the tested equipment, and on the other hand, the testing equipment is also protected from being burnt out by a high-power response signal; during air interface test, the variable attenuator is in a through state (no attenuation), but the signal still passes through.

The duplexer is used for full-duplex input and output of radio frequency signals, and is used for separating excitation signals output by the detector from input response signals, wherein the excitation signals are output by the duplexer, and the response signals enter the duplexer and are input into the detection module;

the detection module comprises an amplitude limiting protection unit and an envelope detection unit and is used for finishing envelope detection of the response signal, realizing extraction of pulse envelope and inputting the pulse envelope into the pulse synthesis and test module;

the battery supplies power to the detector when external power supply is not available;

the liquid crystal display is used for man-machine interaction and displaying the test configuration information and the test result;

and the keyboard is used for man-machine interaction, and a user inputs a test instruction through the keyboard.

Wherein: the signal generation module comprises the following modules:

the amplitude control module is used for controlling the amplitude of the continuous carrier signal output by the frequency synthesis module;

and the pulse modulation module is used for realizing narrow pulse modulation and modulating the narrow pulse signal provided by the pulse synthesis and test module onto the continuous carrier signal to form an excitation signal.

The pulse synthesis and test module comprises the following modules:

the transmitting pulse synthesis module is used for synthesizing a periodic narrow pulse signal, providing the periodic narrow pulse signal to the signal generation module for narrow pulse modulation, and generating an excitation signal;

the receiving pulse conditioning module is used for matching the output port of the detection module and finishing the amplification and filtering processing of the envelope detection signal;

the pulse triggering and shaping module is used for shaping the envelope detection signal into a pulse signal of a TTL level, and extracting the peak voltage of the envelope detection signal by periodically and linearly changing a trigger level;

and the pulse code bit identification module is used for extracting code bit information in the pulse signal of the TTL level and identifying codes.

In another aspect of the present invention, a method for testing the hand-held external field detector of the X-band guided transponder is provided, which includes the following steps:

step 1: selecting whether the test mode is an air interface test or a connection test by a user through a keyboard; (when the variable attenuator is used for implementation, the part is always inside the detector, and the variable attenuator is needed to be passed no matter whether the variable attenuator is used for outputting an excitation signal or receiving a response signal

Step 2: a user sets information such as frequency, power, pulse modulation period, pulse modulation width and the like of an excitation signal through a keyboard, and a detector outputs the excitation signal; (the detector outputs the excitation signal, and needs the terminal module, the signal generation module, the duplexer, and the variable attenuator to complete together, the terminal module configures the signal generation module according to the setting of the keyboard, and the generated excitation signal can be output only through the duplexer and the variable attenuator.)

And step 3: the detector receives a response signal for guiding the transponder to complete response code detection, sensitivity and emission power test; (the received response signal passes through the variable attenuator, the duplexer, the detection module and the pulse synthesis and test module in sequence, and the terminal module completes the calculation and detection; while the response signal is received, the detector always outputs the excitation signal, so that the signal generation module related to the output excitation signal also works.)

Wherein, the step 3 comprises the following steps:

step 3.1: the detector receives a response signal for guiding the transponder and completes envelope detection through the detection module;

step 3.2: a received pulse conditioning module of the pulse synthesis and test module performs impedance matching, amplification and filtering on the envelope detection signal;

step 3.3: the pulse triggering and shaping module of the pulse synthesis and test module performs comparator shaping on the amplified envelope detection signal to generate a pulse signal of TTL level;

step 3.4: a pulse code bit identification module of the pulse synthesis and test module eliminates interference and burr signals, extracts code bit information in pulse signals of TTL level, and detects the coding of the signals through a pulse coding identification algorithm;

step 3.5: the pulse synthesis and test module generates a periodic signal which linearly changes from large to small through a DAC and uses the periodic signal as a reference level of a comparator, and finds out the reference level when the trigger is successfully triggered for the first time and uses the reference level as the peak voltage of an envelope detection signal;

step 3.6: the terminal module calculates the transmitting power of the guiding responder through a peak power test algorithm;

step 3.7: the terminal module controls an amplitude control module of the signal generation module to continuously reduce the amplitude of the excitation signal, and when the number of pulses for guiding the response of the responder reaches a sensitivity limit value, the current amplitude of the excitation signal is the sensitivity for guiding the responder.

The pulse code identification algorithm comprises the following steps:

when the responder works normally, a pulse signal containing coding information is replied in the response process, the checking of the correctness of the pulse coding is also one of important items of testing, the traditional method is visual inspection, a user judges by observing a pulse comparison pulse coding table displayed on a waveform display interface, the efficiency is low, the result is not easy to store, and the method cannot be integrated in a one-key automatic testing process; this detector adopts unique pulse code position recognition technology to accomplish pulse code position and sets up the inspection for the test is simple more direct, and the test result is surveyability, and the integration that can be very convenient is at the flow of "one key formula" automatic test, reduces user's the operation degree of difficulty.

The pulse code characteristics of the response signal are shown in fig. 5, where the pulses P1 and P2 are frame pulses, and a1, a2, A3 and a4 are code pulses. The time interval of each code bit is stabilized in a range, so that the code bit can be identified by measuring the interval between pulses in advance and then judging the position of the pulse.

Before measurement, the validity of the pulse signal is judged, and the pulse signal with the pulse width smaller than a specified value is filtered. When the first point of the leading edge of the pulse is detected, the counter is cleared, counting is started, the second point of the leading edge of the pulse is continuously detected, and the time interval between the two points is calculated.

Since the interval between the pulses is basically fixed, whether corresponding time intervals exist in the four ranges of t1, t2, t3 and t4 or not is judged respectively. If a time interval exists between t1, the code bit 1 is judged to be 1, otherwise, the code bit is 0; if a time interval exists between t2, the code bit 2 is judged to be 1, otherwise, the code bit is 0; if a time interval exists between t3, the code bit 3 is judged to be 1, otherwise, the code bit is 0; if a time interval exists between t4, the code bit 4 is judged to be 1, otherwise, the code bit is 0; by the method, code bit information in the whole pulse can be judged.

If the time interval between the leading edge of the first pulse and the leading edge of the second pulse is within the interval t5, the four code bits are all 0, and the whole pulse group only has a leading code bit and a trailing code bit. Except in this case, there are at most four time intervals t1, t2, t3, t4 in the entire pulse group.
