It will be appreciated that tone signal frequency range: 400M~2.7G because of the dynamic span of power is big, is designed to A, B two-way output, the A road requires output 0~11dBm signal, the B road require output-50~-70 and-the 20dBm signal.Provide as shown in Figure 3 that tone signal source unit 190 is connected simplified schematic diagram with the main collection radio-frequency line of tested wireless product and the radio frequency between the diversity radio-frequency line in the device of test signal.Wherein, the tone signal of tone signal source unit 190 outputs is exported from the A road, then by variable resistor and amplifier, and can be so that the power of the tone signal of output increases 0 to 11dBm; The tone signal of tone signal source unit 190 output is from the output of B road, then by variable resistor, and can be so that the power of the tone signal of output reduces-50 to-70dBm.Provide the tone signal that finally provides the device of test signal from this, can be: be used to equip the up tone signal of making table (20dBm);
Perhaps, be used to equip the tone signal (11dBm) of blocking test;
Perhaps, be used to keep in repair the required signal that pours into of data feedback channel (50~-70dBm);
Perhaps, be used to keep in repair the required signal that pours into of feedback path (0~5dBm), but and tone signal power closed-loop control.Advantage behind the alternative commercial vector signal source is: adopt and directly preset needed frequency and watt level by the display interface in the display unit 140; Reduce existing maintenance cost significantly.Can to be a guy's computer (PC, Personal Computer) provide the device of test signal to communicate by letter with this to this display unit 140 realizes Presentation Function.
By above-mentioned explanation to second power detecting unit 150 and the second power output adjustment unit 200, make this provide the tone signal that provides in the device of test signal more accurate, make that the analysis of testing many wireless products more is more accurate.
Further, this provides the device of test signal to comprise: input unit 210 is used to import the power and the frequency that preset.
Further, this provides the device of test signal to comprise: memory cell 220, be used to store test report, and comprise at least in this test report: first power detecting unit, 130 detected output signal powers.
Also it will be appreciated that, display unit 140 is used to show the power of first power detecting unit, 130 detected wireless product output signals, concrete display interface as shown in Figure 4, by this display interface, the tester can preset the power and the frequency of the tone signal that produces, can be by the numerical control calibrated presets that decays, make circuit matching unit 120 adjust the impedance of transmission line, can store first power detecting unit, 130 detected output signal powers into memory cell 220 by derived data (Export), by this display interface, it can also be seen that the time dependent oscillogram of first power detecting unit, 130 detected output signal powers; Internet protocol (IP, the Internet Protocol) address that has also shown the device that test signal is provided on this display interface illustrates that this device that test signal is provided communicates by letter with display unit 140 by the IP mode.Need understanding and to be, is to provide to such an extent that the device of test signal is provided for the ease of understanding present embodiment to the explanation of display interface, should not be construed the restriction to present embodiment.
Also need to prove, above-mentioned a kind of explanation that the device of test signal is provided to providing among the embodiment one, two, be from the process angle of this testing apparatus to signal processing, the device that test signal is provided is divided into a plurality of functional units, and in fact, provide the device of test signal also can be divided into two parts, a part is the radio circuit part, a part is the baseband circuit part, wherein, the baseband circuit part is mainly realized by central processing unit (CPU, Center Process Unit) chip and FPGA.Wherein, provide in the device of test signal each functional unit partly to be realized by radio circuit part and/or baseband circuit, and the concrete scheme that realizes can be different, this is that those skilled in the art can understand easily.Therefore, concrete radio circuit and baseband circuit are not done explanation and restriction in the present embodiment.
