Description

Technical Field

[0002] Antennas are essential components in electronic devices that have wireless communication capabilities. After installing the antenna in an electronic device, the actual communication performance of the electronic device needs to be tested using a test device to determine it.

[0003] The test device usually includes a host and a test box. The host is connected to the electronic device via USB (Universal Serial Bus) or WIFI (Wireless Fidelity) to send test instructions to the electronic device to control the communication status of the electronic device. The test box is used to test various RF indicators of the electronic device under different communication states.

[0004] However, when the host and electronic device are connected via USB, the metal in the USB interface will interfere with the RF index and affect the test accuracy. When the host and electronic device are connected via WIFI, the test box cannot establish a WIFI connection with the electronic device, and thus cannot measure the WIFI-related indexes of the electronic device, resulting in low test efficiency. Summary of the invention

At least a first wireless link and a second wireless link are provided between the host and the device to be tested. The first wireless link is a wireless link of a first communication standard, and the second wireless link is a wireless link of a second communication standard. The testing module is respectively connected to the host and the device to be tested in communication.

Based on this solution, when the first radio frequency indicator is used to indicate the transmission performance of the device under test, the test module can be used to implement the test of the first radio frequency indicator.

[0038] The words "first", "second" and "third" in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish different objects rather than to limit a specific order. In addition, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete way.

[0039] To facilitate understanding, the application background of the embodiments of the present application is first described below.

[0040] After installing the antenna in the electronic device, the communication performance of the electronic device needs to be tested by a test device. Only after passing the test can it be shipped and sold normally. The following introduces two test devices and the corresponding test process.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of a test device. Figure 1As shown, the test device 100 includes a host 101 and a test box 102. An electronic device 103 to be tested is disposed in the test box 102. The host 101 is connected to the electronic device 103 to be tested via a USB data cable. The test box 102 and the electronic device 103 to be tested have a wireless communication connection.

[0042] Figure 1 When the test device 100 shown in the figure tests the electronic device 103 to be tested, the host 101 can indicate the radio frequency index to be tested between the electronic device 103 to be tested and the test box 102 through the USB data line. Among them, the radio frequency index to be tested can be a WIFI radio frequency index, a cellular radio frequency index, a Bluetooth radio frequency index, an NFC (Near Field Communication) radio frequency index, etc.

[0043] It can be understood that the test box 102 can test the WIFI radio frequency index, cellular radio frequency index, Bluetooth index, etc. of the electronic device 103 to be tested.

[0044] However, Figure 1 When the test device 100 shown in the figure tests the electronic device 103 to be tested, the presence of metal in the USB interface may interfere with the antenna's receiving and transmitting signals, thereby affecting the test accuracy.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 , is a schematic diagram of another test device. Figure 2 As shown, the test device 200 includes a host 201 and a test box 202. The electronic device 203 to be tested is arranged in the test box 202. The host 201 is connected to the electronic device 203 to be tested via WIFI. The test box 202 establishes a wireless communication connection with the electronic device 203 to be tested.

[0046] Figure 2 When the test device 200 shown in the figure tests the electronic device 203 to be tested, the host 201 can indicate the radio frequency index to be tested between the electronic device 203 to be tested and the test box 202. The radio frequency index to be tested can be a cellular radio frequency index, a Bluetooth radio frequency index, an NFC (Near Field Communication) radio frequency index, etc.

[0047] That is, the host 201 cannot instruct the electronic device 203 to establish a WIFI connection with the test box 202. This is because the connection between the host 201 and the electronic device 203 is already a WIFI connection, so the electronic device 203 to be tested cannot establish a WIFI connection with the test box 202. Therefore, Figure 2 The test device 200 shown is unable to test the WIFI-related indicators of the electronic device 203 to be tested, and further measurement is required through other test devices, resulting in low test efficiency.

[0048] Based on the above introduction, it can be seen that the test accuracy and test efficiency of the test device in the relevant solution are low. Therefore, how to design a test device with high test accuracy and test efficiency has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0049] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an antenna testing device and method. The antenna testing device has high testing accuracy and testing efficiency, and provides a good user experience.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device to be tested refers to a device equipped with an antenna, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device (such as a smart watch), a vehicle-mounted device, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc. Exemplary embodiments of the terminal device include but are not limited to a device equipped with Or portable terminals with other operating systems.

[0051] As an example, see Figure 3 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the electronic device 300 may include a processor 301 and a communication module 302 , etc.

[0053] The processor 301 may include one or more processing units, for example, the processor 301 may include an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processor (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a memory, a video stream codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and / or a neural-network processing unit (NPU), etc. Different processing units may be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors 301.

[0054] In some embodiments, the processor 301 may include one or more interfaces, such as a universal serial bus (USB) interface 311 .

[0055] The communication module 302 may include an antenna x, an antenna y, a mobile communication module 302A, and / or a wireless communication module 302B. For example, the communication module 302 includes the antenna x, the antenna y, the mobile communication module 302A, and the wireless communication module 302B.

[0056] The wireless communication function of the electronic device 300 can be implemented through the antenna x, the antenna y, the mobile communication module 302A, the wireless communication module 302B, the modem processor and the baseband processor.

[0057] Antenna x and antenna y are used to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in the electronic device 300 can be used to cover a single or multiple communication frequency bands. Different antennas can also be reused to improve the utilization of the antennas. For example, antenna x can be reused as a diversity antenna for a wireless local area network. In some other embodiments, the antenna can be used in combination with a tuning switch.

[0058] The mobile communication module 302A can provide solutions for wireless communications including 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G, etc., applied to the electronic device 300. The mobile communication module 302A may include at least one filter, a switch, a power amplifier, a low noise amplifier (LNA), etc. The mobile communication module 302A may receive electromagnetic waves through the antenna x, and filter, amplify, and process the received electromagnetic waves, and transmit them to the modulation and demodulation processor for demodulation. The mobile communication module 302A may also amplify the signal modulated by the modulation and demodulation processor, and convert it into electromagnetic waves for radiation through the antenna x. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 302A may be arranged in the processor 301. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 302A may be arranged in the same device as at least some of the modules of the processor 301.

[0059] The wireless communication module 302B can provide wireless communication solutions including wireless local area networks (WLAN) (such as wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks), bluetooth (BT), global navigation satellite system (GNSS), frequency modulation (FM), near field communication (NFC), infrared (IR), etc., which are applied to the electronic device 300. The wireless communication module 302B can be one or more devices integrating at least one communication processing module. The wireless communication module 302B receives electromagnetic waves via antenna y, modulates the frequency of the electromagnetic wave signal and filters it, and sends the processed signal to the processor 301. The wireless communication module 302B can also receive the signal to be sent from the processor 301, modulate the frequency of it, amplify it, and convert it into electromagnetic waves for radiation through the antenna y.

[0060] In some embodiments, the antenna x of the electronic device 300 is coupled to the mobile communication module 302A, and the antenna y is coupled to the wireless communication module 302B, so that the electronic device 300 can communicate with the network and other devices through wireless communication technology. The wireless communication technology may include global system for mobile communications (GSM), general packet radio service (GPRS), code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), time-division code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA), long term evolution (LTE), BT, GNSS, WLAN, NFC, FM, and / or IR technology, etc. The GNSS may include a global positioning system (GPS), a global navigation satellite system (GLONASS), a Beidou navigation satellite system (BDS), a quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS) and / or a satellite based augmentation system (SBAS).

[0061] The electronic device to be tested mentioned in the embodiment of the present application is introduced above. It should be understood that the structure illustrated in this embodiment does not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device 300. In other embodiments, the electronic device 300 may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or arrange the components differently. The illustrated components can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware. Specifically, the electronic device can be any device that is provided with an antenna and has wireless communication capabilities, such as a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a tablet, a notebook, a smart watch, etc.

[0062] Based on the above introduction, the antenna testing device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0063] For ease of explanation, the electronic device to be tested is referred to as a device to be tested in the embodiments of the present application, and will not be described in detail later.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 4 , is a schematic diagram of an antenna testing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the antenna testing device includes a host 401 and a testing module 402. At least a first wireless link 403 and a second wireless link 404 are provided between the host 401 and the device under test 400. The first wireless link 403 is a wireless link of a first communication standard, and the second wireless link 404 is a wireless link of a second communication standard. The testing module 402 is respectively connected to the host 401 and the device under test 400 for communication. Among them, the first radio frequency index includes the radio frequency index corresponding to the second communication standard, and does not include the radio frequency index corresponding to the first communication standard. The second radio frequency index includes the radio frequency index corresponding to the first communication standard, and does not include the radio frequency index corresponding to the second communication standard.

[0065] It should be specially noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of devices under test 400. For example, the number of devices under test 400 may be 4, or more or less. When the number of devices under test 400 is multiple, the first wireless link 403 is respectively connected to the host 401 and the multiple devices under test 400, and the second wireless link 404 is respectively connected to the host 401 and the multiple devices under test 400. Regardless of whether the number of devices under test 400 is one or more, the method for testing them by the antenna testing device provided in the embodiment of the present application is the same, so the following description only takes one device under test as an example. Figure 4 Only one device under test 400 is shown in the figure, which will not be described in detail later.

[0066] In addition, in addition to the first wireless link 403 and the second wireless link 404, other wireless links may be provided between the host 401 and the device under test 400. However, the antenna testing device provided in the embodiment of the present application can already realize the RF index testing of different communication formats at one workstation through the above-mentioned first wireless link and second wireless link, and has high test accuracy and test efficiency. Setting more wireless links between the host and the device under test is merely an increase in quantity and does not constitute a creative improvement to the present solution. Therefore, the solution of setting more wireless links between the host and the device under test should also fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present application. For ease of explanation, the following description only takes the example of only setting the first wireless link and the second wireless link between the host and the device under test, and will not be repeated later.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the first communication standard can be any one of the following: WIFI, Bluetooth, NFC; the second communication standard can be any one of the following: WIFI, Bluetooth, NFC; the first communication standard and the second communication standard are different. That is to say, the combination of the first communication standard and the second communication standard can include the following situations: the first communication standard is WIFI, and the second communication standard is Bluetooth; the first communication standard is WIFI, and the second communication standard is NFC; the first communication standard is Bluetooth, and the second communication standard is WIFI; the first communication standard is Bluetooth, and the second communication standard is NFC; the first communication standard is NFC, and the second communication standard is WIFI; the first communication standard is NFC, and the second communication standard is WIFI; the first communication standard is NFC, and the second communication standard is Bluetooth.

[0068] In addition, a wireless link refers to a link established through a wireless network, such as a WIFI link, a Bluetooth link, an NFC link, etc. Among them, taking the wireless link as a WIFI link as an example, the device under test can establish a wireless link with the host in the following two ways. First, when the device under test does not have an NFC function, it can establish a WIFI connection with the host by scanning the QR code with the integrated router account password and host IP information. Second, when the device under test has an NFC function, it can read the router account password and host IP information in the NFC tag card to establish a WIFI connection with the host.

[0069] The basic structure of the antenna testing device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described above. The functions of the host and the testing module in the antenna testing device are described below.

[0070] In the antenna testing device, the host 401 is used to respond to the test instruction and connect to the device under test 400 through the first wireless link 403. The control test module 402 tests the first radio frequency index of the device under test 400. The first radio frequency index includes the radio frequency index corresponding to the second communication standard, and does not include the radio frequency index corresponding to the first communication standard. The host 401 is also used to switch the connection mode with the device under test 400 to the second wireless link 404 after the first radio frequency index test of the device under test 400 is completed. The control test module 402 tests the second radio frequency index of the device under test 400. The second radio frequency index includes the radio frequency index corresponding to the first communication standard, and does not include the radio frequency index corresponding to the second communication standard.

[0071] The test instruction may be used to instruct the host to start testing the device under test. For example, the host may be installed with test software, and a start test button is displayed in the interface of the test software. The test instruction may be a single-click operation on the start test button.

[0072] That is to say, after receiving the test instruction, the host can switch the connection mode with the device under test to the first wireless link. Among them, the host switching the connection mode with the device under test to the first wireless link means that the host connects the first wireless link and disconnects other wireless links with the device under test, that is, the second wireless link. Similarly, the host switching the connection mode with the device under test to the second wireless link means that the host connects the second wireless link and disconnects other wireless links with the device under test, that is, the first wireless link.

[0073] Exemplarily, the first wireless link is WIFI, and the second wireless link is Bluetooth. In this way, the first radio frequency indicator does not include radio frequency indicators corresponding to WIFI, such as WIFI's transmit power Tx power, WIFI's EVM (Error Vector Magnitude), etc. In some possible ways, the first radio frequency indicator may include LTE's transmit power, LTE's EVM, etc. Similarly, the second radio frequency indicator does not include radio frequency indicators corresponding to Bluetooth, such as Bluetooth's EVM, etc. In some possible ways, the second radio frequency indicator may include WIFI's transmit power, WIFI's EVM, LTE's transmit power, LTE's EVM, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0074] In the above example, after receiving the test instruction, the host switches the connection mode with the device under test to WIFI connection, and tests the RF indicators such as LTE transmission power, LTE EVM, and Bluetooth EVM. After the test is completed, the connection mode with the device under test is switched to Bluetooth connection, and the RF indicators such as WIFI transmission power and WIFI EVM are tested. It should be understood that this is only an exemplary description, and the first wireless link can also be Bluetooth and the second wireless link can be WIFI. This application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0075] Based on the above introduction to the functions of the host and the test module in the antenna test device provided in the embodiment of the present application, it can be seen that the antenna test module sets at least two wireless links of different communication standards between the host and the device under test, namely, a first wireless link of the first communication standard and a second wireless link of the second communication standard. When the host is connected to the device under test through the first wireless link, the RF indicators of the device under test other than the RF indicators corresponding to the first communication standard are tested; when the host is connected to the device under test through the second wireless link, the RF indicators of the device under test other than the RF indicators corresponding to the second communication standard are tested. In this way, the antenna test device can realize the RF indicator testing of different communication standards at one workstation, with high test accuracy and test efficiency.

[0076] The above is an introduction to the antenna testing device provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4The antenna testing device shown illustrates the antenna testing method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 5 , is a flow chart of an antenna testing method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the antenna testing method may include the following steps.

[0078] S501: In response to a test instruction, the host connects to the device under test via a first wireless link.

[0079] S502: The host controls the test module to test a first radio frequency indicator of the device to be tested.

[0080] S503: After the first radio frequency indicator test of the device to be tested is completed, the host switches the connection mode with the device to be tested to the second wireless link.

[0081] S504: The host controls the test module to test the second radio frequency indicator of the device to be tested.

[0082] All relevant contents of each step of the above antenna test method design can be referred to the functional description of the corresponding functional module, and will not be repeated here.

[0083] The above introduces an antenna testing device provided by an embodiment of the present application and an antenna testing method corresponding to the antenna testing device. The following takes the first wireless link as a WIFI link and the second wireless link as a Bluetooth link as an example to illustrate a specific implementation of the antenna testing device. It should be noted that in the case where the first wireless link is a WIFI link and the second wireless link is a Bluetooth link, the host side needs to develop a communication library compatible with WIFI and Bluetooth, including basic functions related to WIFI and Bluetooth communications, so that the host can switch any wireless link to communicate with the device under test.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 6 , is a schematic diagram of another antenna testing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the antenna testing device includes: a host 601, a router 602, a first antenna module 603, a Bluetooth module 604, a shielding box 609, an instrument 606, a radio frequency switch board 607, and a second antenna module 608. The host 601 is connected to the instrument 606, the router 602, and the Bluetooth module 604 respectively. The instrument 606 is also connected to the radio frequency switch board 607. The radio frequency switch board 607 is also connected to the router 602 and the second antenna module 608 respectively. The router 602 is also connected to the first antenna module 603. Among them, the first antenna module 603 may include multiple WIFI antennas. The second antenna module 608 may include multiple antennas, which are distributed at various positions in the shielding box 609.

[0085] The first antenna module 603 and the device under test 600 can be connected via WIFI. That is, a WIFI link is provided between the first antenna module 603 and the device under test 600. The first wireless link includes the host 601, the router 602, the first antenna module 603 and the device under test 600.

[0086] The Bluetooth module 604 and the device under test 600 can be connected via Bluetooth. That is, a Bluetooth link is provided between the Bluetooth module 604 and the device under test 600. The second wireless link includes the host 601, the Bluetooth module 604 and the device under test 600.

[0087] The instrument 606, the radio frequency switch board 607, the second antenna module 608 and the shielding box 609 constitute a test module.

[0088] The shielding box is used to shield the interference of external signals on the device to be tested, and the external signal refers to the signal outside the shielding box. In this way, the test error of the antenna test device can be improved and the test accuracy can be improved.

[0089] The instrument is used to generate or detect radio frequency signals. For example, the instrument can generate a radio frequency signal corresponding to the instruction according to the instruction of the host, or perform configuration corresponding to the instruction to detect the radio frequency signal. For example, the instrument can generate a radio frequency signal of a corresponding frequency point and a corresponding bandwidth according to the instruction of the host; or detect the frequency point and bandwidth of the radio frequency signal according to the instruction of the host.

[0090] The RF switch board is used to control the connection between the antenna in the second antenna module and the meter. That is, the RF switch board can control which antenna in the second antenna module the RF signal generated by the meter is transmitted through, and can also control which antenna in the second antenna module receives the signal that can be transmitted to the meter.

[0091] The second antenna module is used to receive or transmit radio frequency signals. Specifically, the second antenna module can receive or transmit radio frequency signals through a certain antenna. The specific antenna is selected by the radio frequency switch board.

[0092] In the above connection relationships, the host and the instrument, the host and the router, and the router and the RF switch board can be connected through a network cable, a local area network, etc. The router and the first antenna module, the instrument and the RF switch board, and the RF switch board and the second antenna module can be connected through a RF line. It should be understood that the connection through the RF line is to facilitate the transmission of RF signals.

[0093] The host and the Bluetooth module can communicate via the serial port. For example, please refer to Figure 7 , is a schematic diagram of the connection relationship between a host and a Bluetooth module provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the host 701 can be connected to the Bluetooth module 704 through the serial port module 702. The connection between the host 701 and the serial port module 702 can be realized through a serial port line, and the connection between the serial port module 702 and the Bluetooth module 704 can be realized through a radio frequency line.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the serial port module may be a USB (Universal Serial Bus) serial port, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0095] It should be noted that the connection between the router and the RF switch board is to facilitate the host to control the RF switch board to control the connection relationship between each antenna and the instrument in the second antenna module. In some possible designs, the RF switch board can also be directly connected to the host for communication. In this way, the RF switch board and the router may not be connected, and this application does not make any special restrictions on this.

[0096] In addition, each antenna in the first antenna module can be connected to the router via a radio frequency line. For example, if there are four antennas in the first antenna module, each antenna can be connected to the router via an independent radio frequency line to achieve independent reception and transmission of each antenna.

[0097] In some possible designs, multiple drawers can be set in the shielding box, and the drawers are used to place Bluetooth modules. The switches of each drawer are connected to the router respectively. In other words, the host can control each drawer to open or close. In this way, it is convenient for users to add or reduce Bluetooth modules in the shielding box.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of devices to be tested can be multiple, and the number of Bluetooth modules can be equal to or greater than the number of devices to be tested. In this way, it is convenient for each device to be tested to be connected to the host through the corresponding Bluetooth module. It should be understood that for Bluetooth modules with a one-to-many connection function, the number can also be less than the number of devices to be tested, as long as each device to be tested can be connected to the host through the Bluetooth module.

[0099] Below Figure 6 Taking the antenna testing device shown as an example, the testing process of the first radio frequency indicator is introduced. It should be understood that the testing process of the second radio frequency indicator is basically similar to that of the first radio frequency indicator, and this application will not repeat it.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the first radio frequency indicator may be a radio frequency indicator indicating the receiving performance of the device under test, such as the receiving power corresponding to LTE, the receiving power corresponding to WIFI, etc. The first radio frequency indicator may also be a radio frequency indicator indicating the transmitting performance of the device under test, such as the transmitting power corresponding to LTE, the transmitting power corresponding to WIFI, etc. The test processes corresponding to the two different situations are different, which are introduced below respectively.

[0101] First, a test process of the first radio frequency indicator when the first radio frequency indicator is a radio frequency indicator indicating the receiving performance of the device under test is introduced.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 8 , is a flow chart of a method for testing a first radio frequency indicator provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0103] S801. A host generates a first configuration instruction according to a first radio frequency indicator.

[0104] The first configuration instruction is used to instruct the instrument to configure to generate a first test signal that can reflect the first radio frequency indicator of the device under test. For example, if the first radio frequency indicator is the received power of LTE, the first configuration instruction can instruct the instrument to configure to generate a radio frequency signal of the LTE communication standard, that is, the first test signal.

[0105] That is, the first configuration instruction is used to configure the instrument, instructing the instrument to enter a state of testing the first radio frequency indicator.

[0106] In some possible designs, the host may also generate a third configuration instruction based on the first radio frequency indicator. The third configuration instruction may be used to instruct the device under test to enter a state of receiving radio frequency signals. After the device under test enters a state of receiving radio frequency signals, it may generate a signal strength indicator of the radio frequency signal after receiving the radio frequency signal, such as RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). In other words, the third configuration instruction is used to configure the device under test to instruct the device under test to enter a state of testing the first radio frequency indicator.

[0107] S802: The host sends a first configuration instruction to the instrument.

[0108] S803: The instrument generates a first test signal according to the first configuration instruction.

[0109] The first test signal is a test signal corresponding to the first radio frequency indicator. In other words, the first test signal can reflect the first radio frequency indicator. For example, if the first radio frequency indicator is the received power of LTE, the corresponding first test signal can be a radio frequency signal of the LTE communication standard.

[0110] S804: The host sends a first control instruction to the radio frequency switch board through the router.

[0111] The first control instruction can be used to instruct the RF switch board to sequentially connect the antennas in the second antenna module with the instrument at preset time intervals. It should be noted that at the same time, only one antenna in the second antenna module is connected to the instrument, and the other antennas are disconnected from the instrument.

[0112] S805. The radio frequency switch board connects the instrument to each antenna in the second antenna module in sequence according to the first control instruction.

[0113] For ease of explanation, in the embodiment of the present application, the antenna in the second antenna module that is connected to the instrument at a certain moment is referred to as the first antenna.

[0114] It should be understood that when the meter is connected to the first antenna, the first test signal generated by the meter can be transmitted to the first antenna and emitted through the first antenna.

[0115] S806. The first antenna transmits a first test signal.

[0116] The first antenna is arranged in the shielding box, so the first test signal can be received by the device under test in the shielding box.

[0117] S807: The device under test generates a first detection result according to the first test signal.

[0118] Specifically, after receiving the first test signal, the device under test may generate a signal strength indicator of the received first test signal as the first detection result.

[0119] It should be understood that the first test signal may be transmitted by different antennas in the second antenna module, and thus the signal strength index of the first test signal received by the device under test at different times may be different. As a possible design, the device under test can average the signal strength index of the first test signal received at each time, and use the obtained result as the first detection result. It should be understood that the averaging process can also be performed on the host side, so that the first detection result is the signal strength index of the first test signal received by the device under test at each time point, which is not specifically limited here.

[0120] S808: The device under test sends the first detection result to the first antenna module.

[0121] S809: The first antenna module sends the first detection result to the router.

[0122] S810. The router sends the first detection result to the host.

[0123] That is to say, the device under test can send the first detection result to the host through the first wireless link.

[0124] S811. The host determines a first radio frequency indicator of the device under test according to the first detection result.

[0125] Exemplarily, the first RF indicator is the LTE receiving power, and the first test signal is the RF signal of the LTE communication standard. The host can determine the LTE receiving power of the device under test based on the receiving power of the RF signal of the LTE communication standard received by the device under test.

[0126] The above is the test process of the first radio frequency indicator when the first radio link is WIFI and the second radio link is Bluetooth. It should be noted that after the test is completed, the host can send a command to the instrument to instruct the instrument to reset for subsequent testing. In addition, the host can also send a command to the device under test to instruct the device under test to stop receiving radio frequency signals.

[0127] The following describes a test process of the first radio frequency indicator when the first radio frequency indicator is a radio frequency indicator indicating the transmission performance of the device under test.

[0128] Please refer to Fig. 9 , is a flow chart of another method for testing the first radio frequency indicator provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0129] S901. The host generates a second configuration instruction according to the first radio frequency indicator.

[0130] The second configuration instruction is used to instruct the device under test to configure to generate a first test signal that can reflect the first radio frequency indicator of the device under test. For example, if the first radio frequency indicator is the transmit power of LTE, the second configuration instruction can instruct the device under test to configure to generate a radio frequency signal of the LTE communication standard, that is, the first test signal.

[0131] That is, the second configuration instruction is used to configure the device to be tested, and instructs the instrument to enter a state of testing the first radio frequency indicator.

[0132] In some possible designs, the host may also generate a fourth configuration instruction according to the first RF indicator. The fourth configuration instruction may be used to instruct the instrument to enter a state of receiving RF signals. After the instrument enters a state of receiving RF signals, it may generate RF indicators of the RF signal, such as EVM, Tx power, etc., after receiving the RF signal. In other words, the fourth configuration instruction is used to configure the instrument to instruct the instrument to enter a state of testing the first RF indicator.

[0133] S902: The host sends a second configuration instruction to the router.

[0134] S903: The router sends the second configuration instruction to the first antenna module.

[0135] S904: The first antenna module sends the second configuration instruction to the device under test.

[0136] That is, the host sends the second configuration instruction to the device under test through the first wireless link.

[0137] S905: The device under test generates and transmits a second test signal according to the second configuration instruction.

[0138] The second test signal is a test signal corresponding to the first radio frequency indicator. In other words, the second test signal can reflect the first radio frequency indicator. For example, if the first radio frequency indicator is the transmit power of LTE, the corresponding second test signal can be a radio frequency signal of the LTE communication standard.

[0139] S906: The host sends a second control instruction to the radio frequency switch board through the router.

[0140] The second control instruction can be used to instruct the RF switch board to sequentially connect the antennas in the second antenna module with the instrument at preset time intervals. It should be noted that at the same time, only one antenna in the second antenna module is connected to the instrument, and the other antennas are disconnected from the instrument.

[0141] S907. The radio frequency switch board connects the instrument to each antenna in the second antenna module in sequence according to the second control instruction.

[0142] For ease of explanation, in the embodiment of the present application, the antenna in the second antenna module that is connected to the instrument at a certain moment is referred to as the second antenna.

[0143] It should be understood that when the meter is connected to the second antenna, the radio frequency signal received by the second antenna can be transmitted to the meter.

[0144] S908. The second antenna receives a second test signal.

[0145] The second antenna and the device under test are both arranged in the shielding box, so the second antenna can receive the second test signal.

[0146] S909: The instrument generates a second detection result according to the second test signal.

[0147] Specifically, after receiving the second test signal, the instrument may generate a radio frequency indicator of the received second test signal as the second detection result.

[0148] It should be understood that the second test signal may be received by different antennas in the second antenna module, and thus the RF indicators of the second test signal received by the instrument at different times may be different. As a possible design, the instrument can average the RF indicators of the second test signal received at each time, and use the obtained result as the second detection result. It should be understood that the averaging process can also be performed on the host side, so that the second detection result is the RF indicator of the second test signal received by the instrument at each time point, which is not specifically limited here.

[0149] S910: The instrument sends the second detection result to the host.

[0150] S911. The host determines a first radio frequency indicator of the device under test according to the second detection result.

[0151] Exemplarily, the first RF indicator is the LTE transmission power, and the first test signal is a RF signal of the LTE communication standard. The host can determine the LTE transmission power of the device under test according to the power of the RF signal of the LTE communication standard received by the instrument.

[0152] The above is the test process of the first RF indicator when the first wireless link is WIFI and the second wireless link is Bluetooth. It should be noted that after the test is completed, the host can send a command to the instrument to instruct the instrument to reset for subsequent testing. In addition, the host can also send a command to the device under test to instruct the device under test to stop transmitting RF signals.

[0153] It should be understood that the process of the host control test module testing the second RF indicator of the device to be tested is similar to the process of the host control test module testing the first RF indicator of the device to be tested, which will not be described in detail here.

[0154] Based on the above description, it can be seen that the antenna testing device provided in the embodiment of the present application sets at least two wireless links of different communication standards between the host and the device under test, namely, a first wireless link of the first communication standard and a second wireless link of the second communication standard. When the host is connected to the device under test through the first wireless link, the RF indicators of the device under test other than the RF indicators corresponding to the first communication standard are tested; when the host is connected to the device under test through the second wireless link, the RF indicators of the device under test other than the RF indicators corresponding to the second communication standard are tested. In this way, the antenna testing device can realize the RF indicator testing of different communication standards at one workstation, with high test accuracy and test efficiency.

[0155] That is to say, the embodiment of the present application determines the RF indicator to be tested based on the wireless link between the host and the device to be tested, so as to avoid the problem that the communication standard of the wireless link is the same as the communication standard of the RF indicator to be tested, which leads to the problem that the test cannot be performed. In some possible designs, the wireless link between the host and the device to be tested can also be determined according to the RF indicator to be tested. For example, if the RF indicator to be tested is a RF indicator corresponding to the first communication standard, the host will switch the wireless link between the host and the device to be tested to the first wireless link for testing; if the RF indicator to be tested is a RF indicator corresponding to the second communication standard, the host will switch the wireless link between the host and the device to be tested to the second wireless link for testing. In this way, an effect similar to the antenna testing method introduced in the above embodiment can be achieved.
