Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of signal testing technology, and specifically provides a charging signal testing fixture. Background Technology
[0002] The remote meter reading system collects and measures gas consumption via remote gas meters. During data collection, the collector gathers gas data through the meter head collector, RS485, and MBUS bus in the remote meter, processes and stores the data, and then uploads it to the concentrator via a wireless data transmission module. The concentrator's main function is to collect the data uploaded by each collector and then upload it to the meter reading system's monitoring center via GPRS and CDMA. When meter reading is required, the computer at the monitoring center issues a collection command. Upon receiving the command, the collector forwards it to all collectors. The meter head collector, upon receiving the command, determines whether it is a command intended for a terminal and sends the data stored on the meter head collector back to the monitoring center, thus achieving remote meter reading.
[0003] Testing signal strength via mobile phone can only provide a simple indication of strength or weakness, and existing testing instruments are complex in structure and expensive. Utility Model Content
[0004] The signal testing fixture transmits telecommunications / mobile signals, which connect to the mobile / telecommunications operator's network via a telecommunications / mobile NB-IoT base station.

[0005] RSRP (Signal Received Power): All values are negative, ranging from -44 to -140 dBm. The higher the value, the better.
[0006] SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio): Positive and negative values are both possible, and the higher the better.
[0007] ECL (Coverage Registration): The typical values are 0 (regular coverage), 1 (extended coverage), and 2 (extreme coverage).
[0008] Based on testing experience, the optimal values for NB signals are: RSRP above -90, SNR above 10, and ECL of 0.
