“…Commercial directional couplers typically achieve a directivity range of 20-30 dB, while some specially designed directional couplers can occasionally reach values of around 40 dB to meet scientific research measurement requirements. 14,15 However, designing such a single directional coupler for specific transmission line models, frequencies, and powers requires significant time and effort from researchers. Furthermore, changing application conditions necessitate redesigning, producing, and debugging, leading to a heavy scientific research and engineering burden.…”

This letter presents a method for accurately calculating radio frequency (RF) power in a standing wave transmission line system. The proposed approach utilizes two directional couplers in conjunction with a low‐level radio frequency control system. RF power is determined through the application of proposed equations derived from amplitude and phase measurements of coupling signals obtained from the two directional couplers. Experimental validation of the method is conducted using two directional couplers with directivities of 26 and 28 dB, respectively, operating at 162.5 MHz across the entire wavelength. Results indicate that employing a single directional coupler yields average power errors of approximately 6.6% and 5.8%, respectively. However, by implementing the proposed method, the measurement error can be reduced to approximately 1.0%.

<p>This letter proposes a method for accurately calculating RF power at a standing wave (SW) transmission line system. It uses two directional couplers and a low-level radio frequency(LLRF) control system. The RF power is calculated from the proposed equations using amplitude and phase measurements of the coupling signals from the two directional couplers. The method is demonstrated adopting two directional couplers with directivity 26 dB and 28 dB respectively at 162.5 MHz over a whole wavelength range. The average power errors observed when using a single directional coupler are about 6.6% and 5.8% respectively, and the calculated power error can be reduced to about 1.0% through the proposed method.</p>
