Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the accompanying claims.

Before the equipment leaves the factory, the quality of the signal sent by the equipment is often required to be tested, whether the quality of the signal sent by the equipment meets the standard is tested, and if the quality of the signal meets the standard, the equipment is allowed to leave the factory. For example, after a mobile phone manufacturer produces a mobile phone, testing whether the signal quality of a wifi radio frequency signal sent by the mobile phone meets the standard, and allowing the mobile phone to leave the factory when testing that the signal quality of the wifi radio frequency signal sent by the mobile phone meets the standard; and/or testing whether the signal quality of the cellular communication signal sent by the mobile phone meets the standard, and allowing the mobile phone to leave the factory when the signal quality of the cellular communication signal sent by the mobile phone meets the standard. The devices herein may include cell phones, tablet computers, or other wireless communication devices.

For testing a device, referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system 100 for testing a device, the system 100 comprising: test tool 101, shielded enclosure 102, communication antenna 103, and receiving antenna 104.

Wherein the test tool 101 communicates with a communication antenna 103 and a receiving antenna 104, respectively, the communication antenna 103 and the receiving antenna 104 being mounted in a shielded enclosure 102, the shielded enclosure 102 comprising at least one device to be tested.

Optionally, the shielding case 102 is made of metal, so that electromagnetic signals in the external environment can be shielded, and thus, a separate environment different from the outside is provided in the shielding case 102.

At the start of testing the devices in the shielded enclosure 102, the test tool 101 establishes a wireless connection with each device in the shielded enclosure 102 through the communication antenna 103, and sends test instructions to each device through the wireless connection with each device, respectively.

After the test instruction is transmitted, the test tool 101 controls the communication antenna 103 to stop operating, so that the communication antenna 103 stops transmitting the wireless signal in the shielding box 102.

Each device in the shielded enclosure 102 corresponds to a different time period, and the time periods corresponding to any two devices have no time intersection. For any one of the apparatuses in the shield case 102, for convenience of explanation, the apparatus is referred to as a first apparatus, and a period corresponding to the first apparatus is referred to as a first period. The first device transmits a signal for a first period of time based on the test instruction.

During a first time period, the receive antenna 104 receives a signal from the shielded enclosure transmitted by the first device. The test device 101 obtains a signal parameter of a signal received by the receiving antenna 104 in a first period, determines a first device corresponding to the first period based on the first period, and determines a signal quality sent by the first device based on the signal parameter.

Optionally, the test tool 101 stores normal parameter ranges corresponding to the signal parameters. In the case where the signal parameter is within the normal parameter range, the test tool 101 determines that the signal quality transmitted by the first device is normal. In the case that the signal parameter is outside the normal parameter range, the test tool 101 determines that the signal quality transmitted by the first device is abnormal.

Optionally, referring to fig. 2, the system 100 further comprises a router 105, the test tool 101 is connected to the router 105, and the router 105 is connected to the communication antenna 103. The test tool 101 thus establishes a connection with the communication antenna 103 through the router 105.

Alternatively, the test tool 101 is connected to the router 105 by a cable, or a wireless connection is established between the test tool 101 and the router 105.

Wherein the router 105 is connected to the communication antenna 103 by a cable. Referring to fig. 1 or 2, the communication antenna 103 is fixed to the inner side wall of the shield case 102 and connected to a cable located outside the shield case 102. Since the cable connected to the communication antenna 103 is located outside the shield case 102, the cable does not generate electromagnetic interference with the environment located inside the shield case 102 under the barrier of the shield case 102.

At the beginning of testing the devices in the shielded enclosure 102, the test tool 101 controls the communication antenna 103 to establish a wireless connection with each of the devices in the shielded enclosure 102. Then, the test tool 101 transmits a test instruction to the communication antenna 103, and the communication antenna 103 transmits the test instruction to each device through a wireless connection with each device, respectively.

In this case, since the communication antenna 103 communicates with each device through a wireless connection, the test tool 101 is not connected to each device using a cable, thereby avoiding abrasion of the physical interface of each device.

Optionally, referring to fig. 2, the system 100 further comprises a tester 106, the test tool 101 is connected to the tester 106, and the tester 106 is connected to the receiving antenna 104.

During a first time period, the receive antenna 104 receives a signal transmitted by the first device and transmits the signal to the tester 106. The tester 106 receives the signal and measures a signal parameter of the signal, which is sent to the test tool. The test tool 101 receives the signal parameter and determines the quality of the signal transmitted by the first device based on the signal parameter.

Alternatively, the test tool 101 is connected to the tester 106 by a cable, and the tester 106 is connected to the receiving antenna 104 by a cable. Referring to fig. 1 or 2, the receiving antenna 104 is fixed to the inner side wall of the shield case 102 and connected to a cable located outside the shield case 102. Since the cable connected to the receiving antenna 104 is located outside the shielded enclosure 102, the cable does not cause electromagnetic interference with the environment located inside the shielded enclosure 102 under the barrier of the shielded enclosure 102.

Optionally, the shielding box 102 further includes a tray 107, and the at least one device to be tested is placed on the tray 107.

Alternatively, the test tool 101 comprises a computer or the like, the cable comprising a data line, an optical fiber or coaxial cable or the like, and the tray 107 comprises a non-metallic tray or the like.
