Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automatic testing equipment technology, and in particular to an automated testing system and method for third-party high-power repeaters. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous evolution of mobile communication networks and the increasing demand for deep coverage, high-power repeaters are becoming increasingly important as key equipment for solving medium- and long-distance signal coverage scenarios such as highways, tunnels, and rural areas. High-power repeaters typically refer to devices with an output power of 20W or higher. Current mainstream devices include, but are not limited to, fiber optic repeaters with multi-band combinations such as 2.3G+2.6G, 1.8G+2.6G, and 2.6G+2.6G, as well as wireless repeaters with 700M+900M band combinations.
[0003] To support the collaboration and coexistence of multiple generations of mobile communication networks, these repeaters generally need to be compatible with multiple standard composite operating modes. Specifically, their typical operating modes include: 30MHz FDD signal in the 700MHz band, 10MHz FDD signal in the 900MHz band, 20MHz FDD signal in the 1.8GHz band, 20MHz TDD signal in the 2.3GHz band, and 100MHz NR signal in the 2.6GHz band.
[0004] However, when faced with the testing needs of such high-power, multi-standard equipment, existing technologies mainly rely on manual operation and test platforms built with discrete instruments, which have the following significant drawbacks: The power matching of the testing system is complex and risky: the output power of equipment in different frequency bands varies greatly (for example, about 20W in the 700M / 900M band and up to 100W in the 2.6G band). During the test, it is necessary to frequently replace high-power attenuators manually to protect the precision test instruments. This process is not only cumbersome, but also prone to damage to expensive spectrum analyzers and other core instruments due to power overload if there is an operational error or incorrect selection.
