Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an RF performance measurement system and method using a jig for contact type RF measurement.
RF (Radio Frequency) design refers to a circuit design that can carry electromagnetic signals. Since the introduction of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) -TV, frequencies above 300 MHz have been used for broadcasting since the 1960s. From then on, the number of contents, frequency, and bandwidth of communication applications began to increase dramatically. Market demands for higher bandwidth and higher performance end products are driving product designs to increase in frequency range and complexity.
Engineers are integrating RF circuits with analog and digital nanometer circuits. Digital circuits, on the other hand, behave like microwave circuits due to their gigabit data rates. In complex wireless communication standards such as Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) 802.11a / b / g, Ultra Wideband (UWB), and Bluetooth, circuit designers must evaluate the design's impact on overall system performance.
In general, the RF connector for measuring the RF performance of the mobile communication terminal is currently used. It is mounted in series in the RF transmission / reception path through the antenna, and is normally connected to the antenna path, and when the connector is inserted, it is connected to the RF cable connected to the equipment and used for basic RF performance measurement.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve the problems according to the prior art, RF performance of the terminal using only the measurement terminal and the measuring jig of the PCB in the state without the RF connector necessary only for the development and measurement of the mobile communication terminal It is intended to provide a method of providing a system and a method for measuring the same.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a mobile communication terminal for RF measurement includes a plurality of contact type terminals and contact types for connection sensing with a radio frequency (Jig) measurement jig and RF signal transmission and reception through the RF measurement jig. When the terminal senses the connection between the mobile communication terminal and the jig for measuring the RF, RF measurement when the switching control signal is applied from the central processing unit and the central processing unit that outputs the switching control signal to the RF single pole double throw (SPDT) switch It includes an RF SPDT switch for switching the RF signal transmitted from the jig through the contact type terminal to the RF processing unit.
In this case, the plurality of contact type terminals may include a first terminal for transmitting and receiving an RF signal through the RF measuring jig, a second terminal that is ground, and a third terminal for sensing connection with the jig for measuring RF. In addition, a fourth terminal for receiving an analog signal according to the level of the RF signal transmitted by the RF measuring equipment may be further included.
The central processing unit of the mobile communication terminal checks the level of the RF signal transmitted by the RF measuring equipment using the analog signal received through the fourth terminal, measures the level of the RF signal transmitted through the first terminal, RF loss (Loss) can be calculated by comparing the two RF signal levels. The calculated RF loss value is transmitted to the RF measuring equipment to compensate for the RF signal.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the jig for measuring an RF receives an RF measurement device, an RF connector for transmitting and receiving an RF signal, and receives a level value of an RF signal transmitted by the RF measuring device, and converts the signal into an analog signal. (Digital to Analog Converter) and a plurality of contact type terminals for transmitting and receiving RF signals with the mobile communication terminal.
In this case, the DAC unit receives the level value of the RF signal transmitted from the RF measuring device as a PDM (Pulse Density Modulation) signal and converts it into an analog signal.
The RF measurement system according to another aspect of the present invention receives an RF measurement device for transmitting an RF signal for RF measurement of the mobile communication terminal, an RF signal transmitted by the RF measurement device to the RF connector, and through the contact type terminal It may include a mobile communication terminal for receiving the output RF measuring jig and the RF signal output by the RF measuring jig to the contact type terminal, and measuring the RF performance using the received RF signal.
Finally, RF measuring method of the mobile communication terminal according to another aspect of the present invention is a step of the mobile communication terminal is connected through the RF measuring jig and the contact type terminal, the jig for RF measurement and movement through one of the contact type terminal The central processing unit that senses the connection of the communication terminal applies a switching control signal to the RF SPDT switch, and the RF SPDT switch receiving the switching control signal establishes a connection between the RF processing unit and the RF measuring jig of the mobile communication terminal. And performing an RF measurement by transmitting and receiving an RF signal through a contact-type terminal with the RF measuring equipment.
In this case, the plurality of contact type terminals may include a first terminal for transmitting / receiving an RF signal through a jig for measuring an RF, a second terminal that is ground, and a third terminal for sensing connection with the jig for measuring an RF. In addition, a fourth terminal for receiving an analog signal according to the level of the RF signal transmitted by the RF measuring equipment may be further included.
The mobile communication terminal checks the level of the RF signal transmitted by the RF measuring equipment using the analog signal received through the fourth terminal, and measures the level of the RF signal transmitted through the first terminal. RF loss (Loss) can be calculated by comparing the levels of the RF signal.
Thereafter, the mobile communication terminal transmits the calculated RF loss value to the RF measurement equipment, and the RF measurement equipment may perform RF measurement by transmitting an RF signal compensated for the RF loss value.
As described above, according to the RF performance measuring system and method using the contact type RF measuring jig according to the present invention, it is possible to measure the RF by using a low-cost contact type terminal compared to the expensive RF connector used only for measurement. The unit cost of the mobile communication terminal can be lowered, and the contact type terminal has a smaller size than the RF connector, thereby ensuring a space for mounting parts in the mobile communication terminal, thereby miniaturizing and slimming the mobile communication terminal.
