Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, the present invention is described in more detail.
Embodiment
Embodiment 1, the present embodiment is a kind of detection system of welding situation of antenna of producer's factory testing wireless product of producing wireless product, as shown in Figure 2, the instrument and equipment that building environment needs comprises wireless product to be measured, this wireless product generally refers to wireless aps etc. at present, known USB wireless network card, at USB wlan card antenna end serial connection attenuator, shielded box, AP to be measured and known USB wireless network card are all arranged in shielded box, known USB wireless network card is linked in computing machine by USB extended line, the driver of USB wireless network card is installed on computers.In the present embodiment, wireless product to be measured can be wireless network card or other wireless aps.
Use the testing process of native system as follows:
First-selected, AP to be measured and network interface card are placed in shielded box.
Shielded box is can shield electromagnetic interference.AP to be measured and known network interface card, in shielded box, are guaranteed to known network interface card can be connected in the network of AP to be measured, protect the electromagnetic signal of AP to be measured interference-free, also avoid AP to be measured to disturb other equipment.Known network interface card is a kind of working properly stable wireless network card through test, can guarantee to be operated in normal condition in test process.
Then, USB network interface card is by interface extension line, communication is connected with outer PC.
USB network interface card, in shielded box, uses USB extended line to be connected with PC.PC installs the driver of network interface card in advance additional, can read and control at PC end like this command signal of network interface card end.
While starting to detect, network interface card scanning SSID also logs in the networking of product to be measured.
Known network interface card, as the wireless client of PC, is searched for the SSID of AP to be measured, logs in the network of AP to be measured.Form take AP to be measured as service end the network system that network interface card and pc are client.
In test process, by PC, read the RSSI that network interface card termination is received.
Network interface card logs on after the network of product to be measured, and product to be measured can receive by known network interface card by the signal of antenna transmission.Now on PC, read network interface card termination and receive the data of signal intensity RSSI.
Finally, according to the value of RSSI, output test mode result.
Product to be measured, by the power of antenna transmission, after decay, can calculate according to electromagnetic transmission is theoretical, and calibrate by the state of actual measurement normal product in air, determines in advance the normal range of receiving of RSSI value.
In the present embodiment, fundamental purpose is whether the sky wire bonding of the wireless products such as detection AP is normal, other parts in AP itself all just start to be assembled into wireless product after detecting normally, therefore, the wireless products such as AP to be measured only weld normally, just can receive RSSI value in the reasonable scope at known wireless network card end, if it is undesired to weld, during such as rosin joint, the gain of antenna will be very little, and decay will be very large.
The RSSI value of test is in normal range, and product to be measured is normal condition.
The RSSI value of test is less than normal value, and the power of product to be measured is on the low side, and quality problems appear in a day wire bonding, need to do over again.
Embodiment has adopted some antenna of relatively commonly using and network interface cards above, in the present embodiment, it is convenient calculating and understanding that the antenna of wireless network card and the antenna of wireless product to be measured are isotropic antenna, and in its tangible shielded box, space-constrained place does not need yet few of error of regulation like this.In addition, USB network interface card is the network interface card of often using, and is easy to obtain in embodiment, and it is also convenient to install, other wireless network card also can be used for the welding situation of surveying equally in fact, and we only need to just can complete this test by accessing the wireless network card of test product.
The ultimate principle of the method in the present embodiment is:
Electromagnetic wave transmits in space, its intensity decays because of the diffusion of energy, these we can be referred to as the space length that free-space propagation loss L establishes two antennas be R, the power of emitting antenna is Pt, receiving antenna power is Pr, free-space propagation loss L can be defined as so: L=10lg(Pt/Pr), in the time that emitting antenna and receiving antenna are isotropic antenna.So
L=32.4+20lgR+20lgf (1.1)
Wherein the unit of R is Km, and the unit of f is Mhz.
The signal intensity i that network interface card receives, emitting antenna end line damages Lt, receiving antenna line loss Lr, the gain that Gt is emitting antenna, the gain that Gr is receiving antenna.
i=Pt+Gt+Gr-L-Lt-Lr (1.2)
And in test environment on actual production line, for (distance R is less) analog subscriber environment for use in small space, we also need by connect attenuator Ll on link, so we can be expressed as in test macro:
i=Pt+Gt+Gr-L-Lt-Lr-Ll (1.3)
And the signal intensity i that network interface card receives is exactly RSSI value.
So, in our RSSI method of testing, build test environment, be exactly the emissive power of product to be measured after antenna for Pt+Gt, signal is received by being transferred to network interface card termination in the air, forms RSSI value.Gr, L, Lt, Lr, Ll is known quantity, sets up thus the corresponding relation of emissive power to be measured and RSSI.
Contrast the present embodiment and traditional two kinds of method of testings of method of testing:
Aspect environmental structure, tradition is used throughput testing approach, needs two PCs, and PC1 wherein need use netting twine and product to be measured to be linked; Method of testing in the present embodiment only needs a PC.So RSSI test mode has been simplified test environment, save and produced the limited production space of line.
Test duration aspect, tradition is used throughput testing approach, normally the handling capacity mean value of 20 ~ 30 seconds; RSSI method of testing reads RSSI value without 1 second, has shortened greatly the test duration.So RSSI method of testing shortens the test duration, this,, for improving testing efficiency in pipelining in producing, seems particularly important.
