[0040] The following is an explanation of a test auxiliary device provided in an embodiment of the present application through a specific example.
[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a test auxiliary device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the test auxiliary device includes: a first RF input port 11, a second RF input port 12, a third RF input port 13, a fourth RF input port 14, a first RF output port 15, a second RF output port 16, a first multiplexer 21, a second multiplexer 22, a third multiplexer 23, a fourth multiplexer 24, and a RF signal processing module 3.
[0042] The first RF input port 11 is connected to the input end of the first multiplexer 21, the first output end of the first multiplexer 21 is connected to the first input end of the second multiplexer 22, and the output end of the second multiplexer 22 is connected to the first RF output port 15; the second RF input port 12 is connected to the input end of the third multiplexer 23, the first output end of the third multiplexer 23 is connected to the first input end of the fourth multiplexer 24, and the output end of the fourth multiplexer 24 is connected to the second RF output port 16.
[0043] The second output end of the first multiplexer 21 and the second output end of the third multiplexer 23 are respectively connected to the first low-frequency input end and the second low-frequency input end of the RF signal processing module 3, and the first low-frequency output end and the second low-frequency output end of the RF signal processing module 3 are respectively connected to the second input end of the second multiplexer 22 and the second input end of the fourth multiplexer 24.
[0044] The third RF input port 13 and the fourth RF input port 14 are respectively connected to the first medium and high frequency input terminal and the second medium and high frequency input terminal of the RF signal processing module 3, and the first medium and high frequency output terminal and the second medium and high frequency output terminal of the RF signal processing module 3 are respectively connected to the third input terminal of the second multiplexer 22 and the third input terminal of the fourth multiplexer 24.
[0045] The first RF input port 11, the second RF input port 12, the third RF input port 13, and the fourth RF input port 14 are connected to multiple ports of the RF comprehensive tester for receiving RF signals. The first RF output port 15 and the second RF output port 16 are used to send RF signals.
[0046] Among them, the first RF input port 11 and the second RF input port 12 can receive RF signals of multiple frequency bands, and the third RF input port 13 and the fourth RF input port 14 are used to receive RF signals of medium and high frequency bands (MHB). The structure of the test auxiliary device in this embodiment corresponds to the RF comprehensive tester being provided with a medium and high frequency RF output port independent of the RF output port, that is, the first RF input port 11 and the second RF input port 12 are respectively connected to the RF output ports provided by the RF comprehensive tester, and the third RF input port 13 and the fourth RF input port 14 are respectively connected to the medium and high frequency RF output ports provided by the RF comprehensive tester.
[0047] After the first multiplexer 21 receives the first RF signal transmitted by the first RF input port 11, the first RF signal of the ultra-high frequency band (UHB) is transmitted from the first output end to the first input end of the second multiplexer 22, and the first RF signal of the low frequency band (LB) is transmitted from the second output end to the first low frequency input end of the RF signal processing module 3.
[0048] After the third multiplexer 23 receives the second RF signal transmitted by the second RF input port 12, it transmits the second RF signal of the ultra-high frequency band (UHB) from the first output end to the first input end of the fourth multiplexer 24, and transmits the second RF signal of the low frequency band (LB) from the second output end to the second low frequency input end of the RF signal processing module 3.
[0049] The first RF signal in the medium and high frequency band is transmitted to the first medium and high frequency input terminal of the RF signal processing module 3 through the third RF input port 13, and the second RF signal in the medium and high frequency band is transmitted to the second medium and high frequency input terminal of the RF signal processing module 3 through the fourth RF input port 14.
[0050] The RF signal processing module 3 processes the first RF signal in the low frequency band and the second RF signal in the low frequency band, and outputs the RF signal in the low frequency band to the second input end of the second multiplexer 22 and the second input end of the fourth multiplexer 24, respectively, to achieve signal switching. For example, the first RF signal in the low frequency band can be input to the second input end of the second multiplexer 22, and the second RF signal in the low frequency band can be input to the second input end of the fourth multiplexer 24, or the second RF signal in the low frequency band can be input to the second input end of the second multiplexer 22, and the first RF signal in the low frequency band can be input to the second input end of the fourth multiplexer 24.
[0051] The RF signal processing module 3 processes the first RF signal in the medium and high frequency bands and the second RF signal in the medium and high frequency bands, and outputs the RF signals in the medium and high frequency bands to the third input terminal of the second multiplexer 22 and the third input terminal of the fourth multiplexer 24 respectively, thereby realizing signal switching.
[0052] The second multiplexer 22 combines the received RF signals of the low frequency band, the medium and high frequency band, and the ultra-high frequency band, and transmits them to the first RF output port 15, and the first RF output port 15 outputs the combined RF signal. The fourth multiplexer 24 combines the received RF signals of the low frequency band, the medium and high frequency band, and the ultra-high frequency band, and transmits them to the second RF output port 16, and the second RF output port 16 outputs the combined RF signal.
[0053] Thus, two RF inputs and two RF outputs can be realized through the 2×2 test auxiliary device. Without changing the hardware port connection, the signal switching is realized through the internal structure, and the corresponding combination test environment is built, which shortens the R&D verification time, improves the test efficiency, and thus speeds up the development progress and saves costs.
[0054] In summary, in this embodiment, the test auxiliary device includes: a first RF input port, a second RF input port, a third RF input port, a fourth RF input port, a first RF output port, a second RF output port, a first multiplexer, a second multiplexer, a third multiplexer, a fourth multiplexer, and a RF signal processing module; the first RF input port is connected to the input end of the first multiplexer, the first output end of the first multiplexer is connected to the first input end of the second multiplexer, and the output end of the second multiplexer is connected to the first RF output port; the second RF input port is connected to the input end of the third multiplexer, the first output end of the third multiplexer is connected to the first input end of the fourth multiplexer, and the fourth multiplexer is connected to the first multiplexer. The output end is connected to the second RF output port; the second output end of the first multiplexer and the second output end of the third multiplexer are respectively connected to the first low-frequency input end and the second low-frequency input end of the RF signal processing module, and the first low-frequency output end and the second low-frequency output end of the RF signal processing module are respectively connected to the second input end of the second multiplexer and the second input end of the fourth multiplexer; the third RF input port and the fourth RF input port are respectively connected to the first medium-high frequency input end and the second medium-high frequency input end of the RF signal processing module, and the first medium-high frequency output end and the second medium-high frequency output end of the RF signal processing module are respectively connected to the third input end of the second multiplexer and the third input end of the fourth multiplexer. Thus, without changing the hardware port connection, the signal switching is realized through the internal structure, and the corresponding combination test environment is built, which shortens the R&D verification time, improves the test efficiency, thereby improving the development progress and saving costs.
[0055] In the above Figure 1 Based on the corresponding embodiments, the present application also provides another test auxiliary device. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another test auxiliary device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the radio frequency signal processing module includes: a medium and high frequency processing module 31 and a first dual-path processing unit 32 .
[0056] The two input terminals of the medium and high frequency processing module 31 are respectively a first medium and high frequency input terminal and a second medium and high frequency input terminal, and the two output terminals of the medium and high frequency processing module 31 are respectively a first medium and high frequency output terminal and a second medium and high frequency output terminal.
[0057] The two input terminals of the first dual-path processing unit 32 are respectively a first low-frequency input terminal and a second low-frequency input terminal, and the two output terminals of the first dual-path processing unit 32 are respectively a first low-frequency output terminal and a second low-frequency output terminal.
[0058] The mid-high frequency processing module 31 processes the first RF signal in the mid-high frequency band and the second RF signal in the mid-high frequency band, and outputs the RF signals in the mid-high frequency band to the third input terminal of the second multiplexer 22 and the third input terminal of the fourth multiplexer 24 respectively, thereby realizing signal switching.
[0059] The first dual-path processing unit 32 processes the first RF signal in the low frequency band and the second RF signal in the low frequency band, and outputs the RF signal in the low frequency band to the second input end of the second multiplexer 22 and the second input end of the fourth multiplexer 24 respectively, thereby realizing signal switching.
[0060] In summary, in this embodiment, the RF signal processing module includes: a medium and high frequency processing module and a first dual-channel processing unit; the two input ends of the medium and high frequency processing module are respectively the first medium and high frequency input end and the second medium and high frequency input end, and the two output ends of the medium and high frequency processing module are respectively the first medium and high frequency output end and the second medium and high frequency output end; the two input ends of the first dual-channel processing unit are respectively the first low frequency input end and the second low frequency input end, and the two output ends of the first dual-channel processing unit are respectively the first low frequency output end and the second low frequency output end. Thus, without changing the hardware port connection, the signal switching is realized through the internal structure.
[0061] In the above Figure 2 Based on the corresponding embodiments, the present application also provides another test auxiliary device. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another test auxiliary device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

The medium frequency output end of the first duplexer 311 and the medium frequency output end of the second duplexer 312 are connected to the two input ends of the second two-way processing unit 315 respectively. The high frequency output end of the first duplexer 311 and the high frequency output end of the second duplexer 312 are connected to the high frequency input end of the third duplexer 313 and the high frequency input end of the fourth duplexer 314 respectively. The two output ends of the second two-way processing unit 315 are connected to the medium frequency input end of the third duplexer 313 and the medium frequency input end of the fourth duplexer 314 respectively. The output end of the third duplexer 313 and the output end of the fourth duplexer 314 are the first medium and high frequency output end and the second medium and high frequency output end respectively.
[0063] After receiving the first RF signal in the medium and high frequency bands, the first duplexer 311 transmits the first RF signal in the medium frequency band to the first input end of the second two-way processing unit 315 , and transmits the first RF signal in the high frequency band to the third duplexer 313 .
[0064] After receiving the second RF signal in the medium and high frequency bands, the second duplexer 312 transmits the second RF signal in the medium frequency band to the second input end of the second two-way processing unit 315 , and transmits the second RF signal in the high frequency band to the fourth duplexer 314 .
[0065] The second two-way processing unit 315 processes the first RF signal of the intermediate frequency band and the second RF signal of the intermediate frequency band, and outputs the RF signal of the intermediate frequency band to the intermediate frequency input end of the third duplexer 313 and the intermediate frequency input end of the fourth duplexer 314, respectively, to realize the switching of the intermediate frequency band signal. For example, the first RF signal of the intermediate frequency band can be input to the intermediate frequency input end of the third duplexer 313, and the second RF signal of the intermediate frequency band can be input to the intermediate frequency input end of the fourth duplexer 314, or the second RF signal of the intermediate frequency band can be input to the intermediate frequency input end of the third duplexer 313, and the first RF signal of the intermediate frequency band can be input to the intermediate frequency input end of the fourth duplexer 314.
[0066] In summary, in this embodiment, the medium and high frequency processing module includes: a first duplexer, a second duplexer, a third duplexer, a fourth duplexer, and a second two-way processing unit; the input end of the first duplexer and the input end of the second duplexer are respectively the first medium and high frequency input end and the second medium and high frequency input end, the intermediate frequency output end of the first duplexer and the intermediate frequency output end of the second duplexer are respectively connected to the two input ends of the second two-way processing unit, the high frequency output end of the first duplexer and the high frequency output end of the second duplexer are respectively connected to the high frequency input end of the third duplexer and the high frequency input end of the fourth duplexer, the two output ends of the second two-way processing unit are respectively connected to the intermediate frequency input end of the third duplexer and the intermediate frequency input end of the fourth duplexer, the output end of the third duplexer and the output end of the fourth duplexer are respectively the first medium and high frequency output end and the second medium and high frequency output end. Thus, without changing the hardware port connection, the signal switching is realized through the internal structure.
[0067] In the above Figure 3 On the basis of the corresponding embodiment, in another embodiment of the present application, the first dual-path processing unit 32 is: a combiner and splitter having two input interfaces and two output interfaces.
[0068] The combiner and power splitter include: combiner and power splitter. The combiner is used to receive two input RF signals and combine the two input RF signals. The power splitter is used to split the combined RF signal into two paths and output them.
[0069] In the above Figure 3 On the basis of the corresponding embodiment, in another embodiment of the present application, the second dual-path processing unit 315 is: a combiner and splitter having two input interfaces and two output interfaces.
[0070] The second dual-path processing unit 315 has a similar structure to the first dual-path processing unit 32, and will not be described in detail herein.
[0071] In the above Figure 1 Based on the corresponding embodiments, the present application also provides a test auxiliary device. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of another test auxiliary device provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, the test auxiliary device further includes: a third RF output port 17 and a fourth RF output port 18. The third output end of the first multiplexer 21 is connected to the third RF output port 17, and the third output end of the third multiplexer 23 is connected to the fourth RF output port 18.
[0073] The structure of the test auxiliary device in this embodiment corresponds to the RF comprehensive tester that does not have a medium-high frequency RF output port independent of the RF output port, that is, the first RF input port 11 and the second RF input port 12 are respectively connected to the RF output ports set in the RF comprehensive tester, and the third RF input port 13 and the fourth RF input port 14 are not connected to the RF comprehensive tester.
[0074] When the test auxiliary device in this embodiment is used for work, if the RF comprehensive tester is provided with a medium-high frequency RF output port independent of the RF output port, the working method is similar to the above embodiment and will not be repeated here, and the third RF output port 17 and the fourth RF output port 18 will not work.
[0075] If the RF comprehensive tester is not provided with a medium-high frequency RF output port independent of the RF output port, that is, the first RF input port 11 and the second RF input port 12 are respectively connected to the RF output ports provided in the RF comprehensive tester, and the third RF input port 13 and the fourth RF input port 14 are not connected to the RF comprehensive tester. It is also necessary to connect the third RF output port 17 to the third RF input port 13, and the fourth RF output port 18 to the fourth RF input port 14.
[0076] The first multiplexer 21 transmits the first RF signal in the medium and high frequency band to the third RF output port 17 , and the first RF signal in the medium and high frequency band is transmitted to the third RF input port 13 through the third RF output port 17 .
[0077] The third multiplexer 23 transmits the second RF signal in the medium and high frequency band to the fourth RF output port 18 , and the second RF signal in the medium and high frequency band is transmitted to the fourth RF input port 14 through the fourth RF output port 18 .
[0078] Therefore, it is possible to independently receive radio frequency signals in the medium and high frequency bands, and also to receive radio frequency signals in the medium and high frequency bands from a multiplexer, thereby expanding the applicability of the test auxiliary device.
[0079] In summary, in this embodiment, the test auxiliary device further includes: a third RF output port and a fourth RF output port, the third output end of the first multiplexer is connected to the third RF output port, and the third output end of the third multiplexer is connected to the fourth RF output port. Thus, the applicability of the test auxiliary device is expanded.
