    摘要: A non-destructive measurement method and apparatus for the turn-to-turn resistivity distribution (TTRD) in non-insulation (NI) superconducting coils. The method includes: during the discharging or charging process, obtaining experimental values of voltage varying over preset time at different positions of the test coil; dividing the test coil into a plurality of measurement units and obtaining basic circuit elements; then constructing a preset equivalent circuit model including the basic circuit elements; based on the constructed equivalent circuit model, obtaining the first simulated values of voltage varying over preset time at different positions of the test coil; finally, determining the TTRD of the test coil based on the fitness value between experimental values and the first simulated values. When there is high fitness value between the first simulated values and experimental values, the TTRD corresponding to the first simulated values is considered as the TTRD within the test coil.

    摘要: A method of determining an equivalent source associated with a device under test by an over-the-air test (OTA) test system is described. The OTA test system includes an analysis circuit and at least one measurement antenna. The method includes the steps of: conducting, by the at least one measurement antenna, at least two sets of measurements of electromagnetic waves emitted by the device under test, thereby generating measurement signals associated with the electromagnetic waves; determining, by the analysis circuit, at least one radiation parameter of the device under test based on the measurement signals, wherein the at least one radiation parameter is associated with the electromagnetic waves emitted by the device under test; and determining, by the analysis circuit, an equivalent source on a Huygens surface based on the at least one determined radiation parameter, wherein the equivalent source is associated with the device under test. The at least two sets of measurements are conducted on at least two measurement surfaces, wherein the at least two measurement surfaces are different from each other. Further, an OTA test system is described.

    摘要: There is disclosed a probe used with a measurement instrument including a pulse circuit for generating pulses. A coaxial connector is secured to the probe case so that the probe case is electrically connected to the ground shield. A center rod has a top end received in the probe case and to extend into a process liquid. The center rod is electrically connected to the center terminal for conducting the pulses. Ground rods are spaced around the center rod and are secured to the probe case. The probe provides an open configuration less susceptible to build-up between the center rod and the ground rods. One or more of the ground rods may by tubes, connected to a flushing port, with nozzles for cleaning the enter rod. Another ground rod may be tubular for carrying a conductor connected to a bottom of the center rod for bottom-up measurement.
