Abstract:

     Microwave electronic systems are widely used in various fields of human activity: stationary, mobile and space radio communications, radar, radio navigation, television and others. These systems are technogenic objects that can have a harmful effect on the surrounding biosphere. Therefore, creating systems for continuous integrated monitoring  of the state of microwave paths of such objects is an important scientific and technical task. Based on the quadrature measurement method proposed and studied by the authors of this article, measuring devices are developed and implemented, including those operating in the automatic monitoring mode. The metrological capabilities of such devices are limited by the magnitude of the error caused by the imperfection of the quadrature demodulator. In the work, a mathematical model of the measuring procedure is developed using an imperfect quadrature demodulator, which made it possible to accurately model the methodological error in measuring the module and the argument of the complex reflection coefficient caused by imbalances in the amplitudes and phases of a real quadrature demodulator.

     Numerical estimates of these errors, based on which it is concluded that the amplitude analysis provides a smaller methodological error in measuring both the modulus and the argument of the complex reflection coefficient than in phase analysis are obtained.

Keywords: microwave path, quadrature demodulator, amplitude imbalance, phase imbalance, complex reflection coefficient, methodical error.
