摘要：

针对大反射负载牵引测量过程中，由于矢网系统误差导致的负载牵引测量误差较大问题，提出可行的解决方案。首先，以矢网8项系统误差模型为基础，推导出大反射负载牵引功率增益测量模型。以直通线功率的增益误差和为目标函数，通过优化阻抗点分布、重新构建优化权重函数，实现大反射负载牵引测量准确度的进一步提高。经优化比较，在8 mm频段（负载反射系数模值0.9），系统测量直通线功率增益的最大误差由±1 dB优化到±0.2 dB以内（国内文献报道±0.3 dB），进一步提高在片大反射负载牵引系统测量准确度。此外，通过比较分析，明确反射跟踪误差是影响大反射负载牵引测量准确度的主要系统误差项。

Abstract: In order to solve the problem of the large deviation of load-pull measurement caused by the error of the vector network system in the process of load-pull measurement for large reflection coefficient, a feasible solution was presented. Firstly, based on the system error model of the vector network, the power gain measurement model of large reflective load-pull system was conducted. Next, the straight line power gain error sum was set as the objective function in the model. Simultaneously, the impedance point distribution was optimized and the optimized weight function was reconstructed. As a result, the accuracy of load-pull measurement of large reflection coefficient was further improved. After a series of optimizations and comparison, the maximum deviation of the system measurement straight-line power gain was reduced from ±1 dB to within ±0.2 dB in the 8 mm frequency band (load reflection coefficient magnitude value of 0.9), which was ±0.3 dB in domestic literature reports. In addition, through comparative analysis, it is clearly concluded that reflection tracking error is the main system error term that affects the accuracy of load-pull measurement with large reflection.
