The application discloses a switching device of a
phased array antenna testing
system and a testing method, relates to the field of
phased array antenna testing of
satellite communication, and discloses the switching device, which comprises a
communication interface, a
signal processing assembly and a
darkroom testing
system. The
communication interface is configured with a communication protocol, the
darkroom testing
system and the
phased array antenna follow the communication protocol, and the communication connection between the
darkroom testing system and the phased array antenna system is realized through the
communication interface. The
signal processing assembly stores a testing file for testing the phased array antenna, controls the operation state of the darkroom testing system and switches the working state of the phased array antenna according to the testing file. Meanwhile, the probe of the darkroom testing system is controlled to collect the
radio frequency signals of the phased array antenna under different working states according to the switched working state of the phased array antenna, the
radio frequency signals are analyzed, and testing data are obtained. The application does not need to stop the work of the two-part system, reduces the testing
waiting time, and further improves the testing efficiency.
