Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, a method for determining a wideband power transfer function according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes:

s1: determining the equivalent average efficiency η of an antenna_avg。

In the present embodiment, specifically, S1 includes:

s101: and determining the total radiation power TRP of the target frequency band.

Any mathematical method capable of calculating the total radiation power TRP can be adopted in the step, and the embodiment adopts an integral method. Fig. 3 is a graph of antenna efficiency versus frequency, if multiplied by the input power on the ordinate, to give a total radiated power curve at different frequencies. According to the bandwidth integration method (i.e. area method), in the target frequency band f₁～f₂The total radiated power TRP in the range is:

wherein F is F₁～f₂The number of frequency points in the range, Δ f is the frequency spacing, and TRP (f) is the total radiation power corresponding to the f-th frequency point.

S102: determining equivalent average radiation power TRP according to total radiation power TRP_avg。

After the total radiation power in the target frequency band is determined, an equivalent average radiation power is determined to meet the following relationship:

then, the equivalent average radiated power TRP_avgThe calculation formula of (2) is as follows:

s103: according to equivalent average radiated power TRP_avgDetermining the equivalent average efficiency eta_avg。

Cause TRP_avg＝P_t·η_avgTherefore, the following can be obtained:

this is the equivalent average efficiency over the frequency range.

S2: determining an equivalent average mismatch loss e of an antenna_avg。

Assuming that the reflection coefficient of the antenna is Γ, the power mismatch loss is:

e＝1-|Γ|²；

similar to the radiation efficiency, the reflection coefficients of different frequency points are different, which means that the mismatch loss is also different. According to the bandwidth integration method, f can be calculated₁～f₂Equivalent average mismatch loss in the range:

in the formula, F is the number of frequency points, and Γ (F) is the reflection coefficient of the F-th frequency point of the antenna.

For a wide frequency band, due to the fact that the fluctuation of the antenna reflection coefficient is large in the frequency band, only by calculating equivalent mismatch loss from the power angle, better test accuracy can be guaranteed. However, this method requires a separate test of the reflection coefficient of the antenna and cannot be compared with S₂₁And (5) testing at the same time.

S3: according to equivalent average efficiency eta_avgAnd equivalent average mismatch loss e_avgA power transfer function is determined.

After determining the equivalent average efficiency and mismatch loss over a wide frequency band, the corresponding power transfer function PTF can be calculated. Both parameters are constant regardless of the boundary condition, and therefore, the wideband power transfer function PTF is calculated as:

wherein PTF represents power transmission function, N represents number of mode stirring, N represents nth mode stirring, F represents number of frequency points in bandwidth, F represents F frequency point, S₂₁(n, f) represents the forward transmission coefficient at the nth mode of stirring and the f frequency point, eta_r,avgRepresents the equivalent average efficiency, η, of the reference antenna_m,avgRepresenting the equivalent average efficiency of the measuring antenna, e_r,avgRepresents the equivalent average mismatch loss, e, of the reference antenna_m,avgRepresenting the equivalent average mismatch loss of the measured antenna.

According to the embodiment, integral operation is carried out on curves of the efficiency and the mismatch loss of the antenna changing along with the frequency respectively, then the obtained total amount is distributed averagely in a target frequency band, equivalent average efficiency and equivalent average mismatch loss are obtained, the power transmission function of the antenna in a broadband is calculated by utilizing the equivalent average efficiency and the equivalent average mismatch loss, and the calculation error of the power transmission function caused by large fluctuation of the efficiency and the reflection coefficient of the antenna in a broadband range is avoided.
