Due to the increasing number of actual application scenarios of repeaters, the testing demand for repeater devices has gradually increased. The traditional test is mainly manual testing. Each time, the tester needs to connect the tested base station, radio frequency components and test instruments according to different test purposes before testing, and manually configure parameters on the instrument, so that the signal source sends radio frequency signals to the repeater, and then the repeater amplifies the radio frequency signals and sends them to the spectrum analyzer for testing.

Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the interface box 103 is configured to be connected to the control terminal 106, the signal source 101, and the spectrum analyzer 102.

[0100] In actual application, the control terminal, the interface box, the signal source, and the spectrum analyzer are connected to a switch through a network cable, so that the four devices can be directly interconnected, and the control terminal can control the other three devices to work at the same time.

[0101] Figure 3is a flowchart of a method for testing radio frequency performance of a repeater provided by an embodiment of the present specification. The present specification provides method operation steps as described in the embodiments or flowcharts, but more or fewer operation steps can be included based on conventional or non-inventive labor. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is only one of the many execution orders of the steps, and does not represent the only execution order. In actual system or device product execution, the method order shown in the embodiments or the drawings can be executed in sequence or in parallel. Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The method comprises the following steps:

[0102] S301: receiving a to-be-tested index input by a user on an interactive interface;

[0103] S302: obtaining a to-be-tested repeater device parameter, and configuring a test parameter for a test instrument according to the to-be-tested repeater device parameter;

[0104] S303: matching a target test case from a test case set according to the to-be-tested index;

[0105] S304: determining a test path according to the target test case;

[0106] S305: executing the target test case according to the test parameter and the test path, and obtaining a radio frequency performance test result;

[0107] S306: judging whether the radio frequency performance test result meets a preset standard.

[0108] The repeater radio frequency performance test method provided by the embodiments of the present specification can automatically configure a test parameter for a test instrument according to a to-be-tested repeater device parameter, thereby replacing the operation of repeatedly configuring an instrument by a test personnel, improving test efficiency. Moreover, the test path can be automatically determined according to a target test case, eliminating line damage and time cost problems caused by manual replacement of the test path. In addition, whether the radio frequency performance test result meets a preset standard is automatically judged, avoiding errors in manual judgment and inconsistency in repetitive tests, and improving test accuracy.

[0109] In step S301, the to-be-tested index input by the user on the interactive interface includes a maximum output power, a maximum gain, an error vector magnitude, a bandwidth, a transmission delay, and a voltage standing wave ratio. The user can input one or more test indexes on the interactive interface, and then the interactive interface will display the matched test cases. The test cases are at least one, and the user can check one or check all the test cases at the same time. The terminal automatically executes all the test cases in sequence.

[0110] The parameters of the to-be-tested repeater device in step S302 include a center frequency point, a test mode, a working frequency band, a working bandwidth, a maximum gain, a maximum output power, and the like. These parameters are required for testing, can be automatically identified and input to the test instrument, and do not need to be manually configured by the tester during the traversal of different test cases of the to-be-tested repeater device. Optionally, the test instrument in the embodiments of the present specification is a signal source and a spectrum analyzer. The signal source is used to generate a radio frequency signal of a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase, serving as a source of the input signal of the repeater device for testing. Through the signal source, different radio frequency signal environments can be simulated to test the performance of the repeater device under different signal conditions. The spectrum analyzer is used to measure the frequency distribution, amplitude, power, and the like of the radio frequency signal, and can capture and analyze the characteristics of the signal in the frequency domain to help identify the interference components and spectrum usage in the signal. In other optional embodiments, the test instrument can also include a power meter, a vector network analyzer, and the like. Referring to Figure 4 , the test parameters of the test instrument are configured according to the parameters of the to-be-tested repeater device, including:

[0111] S401: determining the test parameters of the test instrument according to the parameters of the to-be-tested repeater device;

[0112] S402: writing the test parameters into the corresponding positions of the test instrument according to the preconfigured parameter position mapping relationship table.

[0113] Specifically, before the test case is executed, the control terminal is connected to the test instrument through a network cable, so as to remotely control the test instrument. After the parameters of the to-be-tested repeater device are obtained, the control terminal determines the test parameters of the test instrument according to the parameters of the to-be-tested repeater device, such as setting the frequency range of the spectrum analyzer according to the working frequency band of the to-be-tested repeater device, to ensure that all working frequency points of the repeater device are covered. Then, the test parameters are first transmitted to the SCPI command of the test instrument. After the test instrument recognizes the command, the test parameters are transmitted to the corresponding positions of the test instrument according to the preconfigured parameter position mapping relationship table.

[0114] Since the signal source, the spectrum analyzer, and the like are worn to different degrees with the increase of the number of uses, the test calibration value needs to be compensated to the test instrument before each test to ensure the accuracy of the subsequent test. In some embodiments of the present specification, referring to Figure 5 , before the target test case is executed according to the test parameters and the test path, the method further includes:

[0115] S501: obtaining a calibration frequency band required for testing according to the target test case;

[0116] S502: calculating a calibration time according to the start frequency and the end frequency of the calibration frequency band;

[0117] S503: sampling the radio frequency signal according to the calibration time to obtain a plurality of sampling data;

[0118] S504: calculating the dispersion degree of each sampling data and the factory calibration data of the test instrument;

[0119] S505: taking the sampling data with the minimum dispersion degree as the calibration value of the test instrument;

[0120] S506: calibrating the test instrument according to the calibration value.

[0121] Specifically, after determining the test case, the calibration frequency band is automatically obtained according to the target test case and the frequency band range in which the required calibration test instrument is located, the start frequency, the end frequency, the level value and the scanning time of the signal source and the spectrum analyzer are automatically obtained according to the calibration frequency band, and the required time for calibrating one frequency band is calculated by using formula (1), so as to obtain the minimum time unit required for the spectrum analyzer to receive a complete waveform. After ensuring that a complete waveform is obtained, the signal source stops transmitting signals in time, a plurality of groups of waveform data are recorded, and dispersion degree analysis is performed on the factory calibration data of the test instrument, the data with the minimum dispersion degree is taken as the calibration value, and is saved to the local calibration value database. If the calibration value is not in the calibration frequency band of the test instrument, the above steps are repeatedly executed until the calibration value meets the calibration frequency band.

[0122] T = (f c -f s ) x 10 3 x 10 x 0.001 + 3 (1)

[0123] Wherein, T represents the time required for calibrating one frequency band, f c represents the end frequency, f s represents the start frequency, (f c -f s ) x 10 3 represents the height difference of the calibration frequency band and the unit is converted from GHz to MHz. It is known that the signal source requires 10 ms for scanning 1 MHz by default, so the height difference x 10 x 0.001 is used to calculate how many seconds are required for scanning the calibration frequency band, and + 3 represents extending the scanning time by 3 seconds to ensure that the complete data can be completely taken out. In step S504, the dispersion degree of each sampling data and the factory calibration data of the test instrument is calculated, including:

[0124] Removing the maximum value and the minimum value in the sampling data;

[0125] Drawing a scatter plot of the remaining sampling data and the factory calibration data, and taking the sampling data closest to the factory calibration data as the final calibration value.

[0126] In other embodiments, the above calibration steps can be used to calibrate the equipment that needs to be calibrated in the interface box or test line before testing.

[0127] In the embodiments of this specification, refer to Figure 6 The target test case is obtained by matching the test case set according to the test metric, including:

[0128] S601: Obtain the list of test metrics for each test case in the test case set;

[0129] S602: Match the indicator to be tested with each of the test indicator lists to obtain the number of test indicator matches;

[0130] S603: The test case with the most matching test indicators is identified as the target test case.

[0131] In other embodiments, if the test metrics in the matched target test cases do not cover all the test metrics input by the user, then the uncovered test metrics need to be re-matched in the test case set.

[0132] In some embodiments of this specification, reference is made to Figure 7 The test path is determined based on the target test cases, including:

[0133] S701: Load the test auxiliary component information corresponding to the target test case from the pre-established configuration file according to the target test case;

[0134] S702: Based on the test auxiliary component information, locate the target test auxiliary component and its corresponding specifications;

[0135] S703: Determine the target switch contact for each of the target test auxiliary components according to the specified parameters;

[0136] S704: Switch the state of each target switch contact to the open state to form a test path.

[0137] Specifically, the configuration file stores the mapping relationship between test cases and corresponding test auxiliary components. Information about the test auxiliary components corresponding to the test cases can be obtained through the configuration file. This information includes the type and specifications of the test auxiliary components; test auxiliary components of the same type but different specifications connect to different contacts. For example... Figure 2As shown, first, the to-be-tested repeater device is connected to the signal source and spectrum analyzer through the external interface of the interface box to form a test circuit, then the terminal sends a command to the interface box to control which switch contact of each test auxiliary component in the interface box to open according to the test case, the interface box receives the command, judges which filter or attenuator in the interface box to use according to the target test case, and finally the command is executed successfully to form a test path. With this interface box, all test auxiliary components can be included, avoiding the need to manually replace auxiliary components for different test cases, and without the need for manual selection of RF devices, preventing damage to the to-be-tested repeater device and test instruments due to selection errors. The formed test circuit supports RF signals with a test frequency below 30 GHz / 10 W, which can meet the RF performance test requirements of most repeater devices.

[0138] In some embodiments of the present specification, reference is made to Figure 8 whether the RF performance test result meets a preset standard, comprising:

[0139] S801: calculating a first dispersion coefficient of the RF performance test result;

[0140] S802: searching for RF performance test results of similar repeater devices from a test database according to the parameters of the to-be-tested repeater device, and calculating a second dispersion coefficient of the RF performance test results of the similar repeater devices;

[0141] S803: judging whether the first dispersion coefficient is less than or equal to the second dispersion coefficient;

[0142] S804: if yes, storing the RF performance test result in the test database;

[0143] S805: if no, judging whether the RF performance test result meets the repeater RF test standard according to the repeater performance test standard, if yes, jumping to step S804;

[0144] S806: if no, retesting the RF performance of the to-be-tested repeater device until the repeater RF test standard is met.

[0145] Specifically, the first dispersion coefficient calculation manner of step S801 is: first, randomly sampling a plurality of data points of the sub-time radio frequency performance test, wherein the number of data points is determined according to the point number of the test instrument, and second, calculating the first dispersion coefficient of the radio frequency performance test result by using the formula: V=S / X, wherein V represents the first dispersion coefficient, S represents the standard deviation of the test data, and X represents the average value of the test data. The second dispersion coefficient calculation manner in step S802 is consistent with the above method. In some embodiments, the similar equipment that has been tested before and meets the preset standard can be selected from the test database according to the to-be-tested repeater equipment parameters by using keyword matching, numerical value matching and the like, and the test data thereof is locked, so as to calculate the second dispersion coefficient of the similar equipment, compare the two dispersion coefficients, and if the first dispersion coefficient is less than or equal to the second dispersion coefficient, it indicates that the test data dispersion degree of the to-be-tested repeater equipment is smaller, and the index is better, so the test data can be directly used as the test result, and the test data is saved. Otherwise, it indicates that the test index of the to-be-tested repeater equipment is not better than that in the database, so it is necessary to judge again whether the test result meets the standard requirement according to the repeater radio frequency test international standard (such as 3GPP 38.106 standard). In some embodiments, if the radio frequency performance test result of the to-be-tested repeater equipment does not meet the 3GPP 38.106 standard, the radio frequency performance of the to-be-tested repeater equipment needs to be retested until it meets the repeater radio frequency test standard. Therefore, the accuracy, authority and traceability of the test result can be ensured, and the test result and test screenshot are saved to the local to form a detailed record, which is convenient for traceability and reproduction.
