Before performing a specific rf device performance measurement, a baseline test is performed on the test system in step S110, and the measurement reading at this time is recorded as a reference for a subsequent test. This step is to ensure accuracy and repeatability of the test results, and by comparing the differences between subsequent test readings and baseline readings, the performance variation of the RF device can be more accurately assessed.

Preheating means that the instrument is enabled to reach a stable working state so as to eliminate measurement errors caused by unstable performance of the instrument when the instrument is just started. The calibration rule is to adjust the instrument by known standard to ensure the accuracy of the measurement result. This preparation is to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the test data, and by preheating and calibration, errors that may be introduced by the instrument itself can be minimized.

Among other things, selecting an appropriate test frequency range and fine-grained frequency points can help analyze the performance of a radio frequency device in detail, especially the impedance matching conditions in its critical operating frequency range, which can help accurately assess whether the design and functionality of the device meets expected requirements.
S23, capturing the change of the reflection coefficient by measuring the first reflection coefficient of the radio frequency device under different frequencies, and recording the minimum reflection coefficient value;
the first reflection coefficient of the radio frequency device is measured at the same frequency, and the change of the reflection coefficient, particularly the minimum value, is recorded, so that the impedance matching efficiency of the device at each frequency point can be disclosed, and the identification of the problem area with possible performance is facilitated. By accurately measuring and recording the reflection coefficients of the radio frequency device at different frequency points, the impedance matching performance of the device, particularly the capture of very small reflection coefficient values, can be evaluated, helping to determine at which frequencies the device performs best.

Wherein the resonance peak usually appears graphically as a sharp peak at a specific frequency point, wherein the transmission coefficient shows as a sudden increase in signal strength, and the second reflection coefficient shows as a lowest point at the corresponding frequency, reflecting the lowest reflection loss.

The resonance peak is a key index in the performance analysis of the device, indicates the gain or loss characteristics of the device at certain frequency points, and can evaluate the bandwidth, gain, loss and other key performance parameters of the device.
S34, deeply analyzing the position, width and amplitude of the resonance peak, and identifying the sharpness of the resonance peak so as to evaluate the quality factor of the radio frequency device; the position (frequency), width and amplitude (indicative of signal strength or loss) of each resonance peak are further analyzed. The sharpness of the resonance peak (Q factor) can be assessed by measuring the width to height ratio of the peak, a sharp peak representing a high Q factor, meaning lower energy loss and better frequency selectivity.

The data collected by the analyzer includes the primary signal (the expected emission of the radio frequency device) and possibly the unintended signal;
Impurity harmonics are emitted as integer multiples of the fundamental frequency (primary signal frequency); spectrally, these signals are typically located at integer multiples of the desired fundamental frequency signal; for example, if the fundamental frequency is 1 GHz, then the second harmonic is at 2 GHz and the third harmonic is at 3 GHz, and so on, the presence of the impurity harmonic may be indicative of the nonlinear behavior of the radio frequency device at high power.
Spurious emissions are any unintended emissions other than harmonics, which may occur at any frequency near or far from the fundamental frequency, and which may originate from nonlinear effects inside the radio frequency device, interference from the power supply line, or emissions from other devices in the test environment.
By examining the frequency location of the undesired signal, it can be determined whether it is a harmonic emission (at integer multiples of the fundamental frequency) or a spurious emission (at random locations), which typically tapers off in intensity with increasing frequency, the intensity of which may not follow this rule.

Wherein the total power emitted by the radio frequency device, including the primary signal and all undesired signals, is calculated, and whether this meets a preset power limit (theorem evaluation). The frequency and amplitude of each undesired signal is compared to preset requirements to determine if there are any emissions outside of the allowed range (compared to preset requirements). The magnitude of the impurity harmonics and spurious emissions are analyzed to determine if these unintended emissions are sufficient to interfere with proper operation of the device itself or other equipment.

This typically involves comparing the measured value to industry standards or requirements of a particular application.
