Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of SIP testing technology, and in particular to an automatic testing method, system and storage medium for waveguide-type SIP. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, antennas are widely used in various fields, including television, radar, broadcasting, and navigation. As a component of the antenna, the performance of a System in Package (SIP) affects the overall antenna performance. Therefore, each SIP produced must undergo corresponding testing to meet specific requirements before proceeding to the next manufacturing stage. With the increasingly widespread application of antennas, a large number of SIPs require testing. However, the current industry standard for testing largely relies on manually switching test channels and manually recording test data, a method that is extremely inefficient.

[0003] Traditional testing methods have the following problems: traditional testing requires manual switching of waveguide ports and manual gold wire bonding; after traditional testing, data needs to be manually copied and saved, and repeatable testing is not possible; traditional software testing requires the connection and parameter setting of instruments and equipment before testing; traditional testing can only show test data, not test information. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automatic testing method, system and storage medium for waveguide-type SIP.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: The first aspect of this invention provides: an automatic testing method for waveguide-type SIPs, comprising the following steps: User authentication phase: Perform user login verification and permission allocation; Test project initialization phase: Establish the association between the test project and the configuration file; Device communication verification phase: Verify the communication parameters of the test instruments and SIP test equipment; Parameter configuration and equipment calibration phase: Complete the confirmation of test parameters and the initial calibration of SIP test equipment; Instrument connection and initialization phase: Establish communication connection with the test instrument and initialize the test environment; Automated test execution phase: Execute the automated test process according to the waveguide port sequence; Test result processing stage: Complete test data storage and loop test judgment.

[0006] Preferably, the user authentication phase further includes the following steps: Verify user identity and legitimacy using account password; assign operation permissions based on account type; after successful verification, proceed to the navigation page.

[0007] Preferably, the test project initialization phase further includes the following steps: Open the navigation page, select the test method and test project; initialize the configuration file path and wave control commands for the test project according to the test project.

[0008] Preferably, the device communication verification stage further includes the following steps: Check if the IP address and serial port of the required test instruments and SIP test equipment are correct. If not, modify the IP address and serial port and then enter the test page.

[0009] Preferably, the parameter configuration and equipment calibration stage further includes the following steps: On the test page, click the parameter configuration button to open the parameter configuration page. Check if the configuration parameters required for the test project are correct. If not, have the administrator log in to modify the configuration parameters and save them. If the SIP test device is being used for the first time after being powered on, perform a full axis homing.

[0010] Preferably, the instrument connection and initialization phase further includes the following steps: After clicking "Start Test", the system checks the connection status of all required test instruments for the current test item. If a test instrument is connected, the connection step for that test instrument is skipped. If it is not connected, the system attempts to reconnect. If there is a connection error, the test is interrupted and an alarm is triggered. The test instruments include at least one of the following: vector network analyzer, signal generator, oscilloscope, power meter, spectrum analyzer, and power supply. After all testing instruments are connected normally, initialize and configure the testing instruments and display them visually.

[0011] Preferably, the automated test execution phase further includes the following steps: After all the test instruments are configured, the software sends an automatic test command to the SIP test equipment, causing the motion mechanism of the SIP test equipment to move to the first waveguide port test position, and waits for the motion mechanism to be in place. After the movement is in place, the software sends the wave control command of the test item to the wave control box, powers on the SIP, writes the voltage, and makes the SIP reach the initial test state. According to the selected test method, execute the test procedure for the first channel. The test methods include receive data extraction test, transmit power test, and P-1 test. After obtaining the test results, fill the test data into the specified position in the test result table. After the first channel test is completed, the software sends the wave control command for the test item to the wave controller box to perform a power-down operation on the SIP, so that the SIP reaches the default state; The software sends a command to the SIP test equipment to continue to the next position, causing the motion mechanism of the SIP test equipment to move to the test position of the next waveguide port, and waits for the motion mechanism to move into place; After the motion mechanism reaches its position, it repeats the operation of powering on, channel testing, powering off, and moving to the next waveguide port until the last waveguide port test is completed, at which point the motion mechanism returns to the initial test position.

[0012] Preferably, the test result processing stage further includes the following steps: The system checks whether the "Repeat Test" checkbox is selected. If it is selected, the test data is automatically saved according to the Excel template, and the process after clicking "Start Test" is repeated. If "Repeat Test" is not selected, the test ends, and the user checks whether the test data meets the requirements based on the test data table. If it does, the user clicks the "Save Data" button to save the test data according to the Excel template.

[0013] A second aspect of the present invention provides: an automatic test system for waveguide-type SIPs, used to implement any of the above-described automatic test methods for waveguide-type SIPs, comprising: The user authentication module is used to perform user login verification and permission allocation.

The instrument connection and initialization module is used to establish communication connections with the test instruments and initialize the test environment. The automatic test execution module is used to execute automated test processes according to the waveguide port sequence; The test result processing module is used to complete test data storage and loop test judgment.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1) It can automatically switch waveguide ports, which greatly improves testing efficiency and accuracy; after the test is completed, it can automatically save the data to Excel in the specified format.

[0016] 2) The parameters of the waveguide-type SIP automatic testing method are based on the project. The parameter information for each project only needs to be configured once. Subsequent tests can be performed by simply clicking the start test button, which is simple to operate and improves testing efficiency.

[0017] 3) The waveguide-type SIP automatic test method automatically saves test information such as test time, test personnel, and test parameters after saving the data, making the test data clear at a glance. Attached Figure Description
