A kind of testing apparatus of transceiver index and system
Technical field
The present invention relates to test the measuring technology of transceiver index, especially the testing apparatus of a kind of receipts/sender in the radio system and system.
Background technology
In radio system, the various technical indicators of transceiver all are the critical index of system usually.Leak (ACPR), PCDE (PCDE) like the Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) of transmitting end in the WCDMA system, adjacent-channel power, the receiving sensitivity of the end of collecting mail, face selectivity, veneer and block index etc. and all the performance of system is had bigger influence.
Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) is commonly used to describe the modulation quality of transmitter, and the range value of EVM representative vector error is not a statistic.As shown in Figure 1, error vector is the phasor difference between desirable vector signal of fixed time and the actual vector signal.Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) is the root-mean-square value of the error vector within a period of time.
Sensitivity is to satisfy under the situation of specifying BER (bit error rate) amplitude of the minimum signal that receiver can receive.Usually use the amplitude of signal voltage to describe sensitivity.Under a kind of specific modulation system, the signal to noise ratio snr of BER and signal is a kind of specific relation.For example WCDMA system requirements BER<0.001 is equivalent to SNR>7dB, and signal to noise ratio and EVM have
The transformational relation of (when SNR>0).Promptly EVM less than 44.7% situation under, be equivalent to error rate BER<0.001 of system.If test through the error rate, because the error rate itself is a statistical value, reach certain measuring accuracy must add up for a long time, the correct and wrong bit of transmission in the code stream is counted respectively, so test speed is slow.
