[Previous technology] In recent years, the Internet has flourished, especially the World Wide Web (WWW). In addition to providing traditional e-mail transmission services, it also combines a variety of voice, pictures, and dynamic images. The multimedia services that accompany these multimedia services are extremely large amounts of data. Therefore, a variety of high-efficiency network communication products have emerged at the historic moment. Among them, wireless communication products are the most sought after by the market. According to the wireless communication industry, in order to design and manufacture high-quality wireless communication products, and to ensure that the channel width occupied by these communication products meets the specifications, they will perform spectrum signal analysis on these wireless communication products before leaving the factory. Measurement and analysis to ensure that the products manufactured are good products that meet the specifications. In order to achieve this goal, operators must spend huge sums of money to establish a spectrum test station on each production line. Each spectrum test station needs to install a Spectrum Analyzer to use the spectrum analyzer to The completed wireless communication products are used for measurement and analysis of spectrum signals. Generally speaking, each spectrum analyzer used for spectrum measurement will cost NT $ 1 million or more. Therefore, setting up a spectrum test station on several production lines often costs nearly 10 million or even The cost of more than ten million yuan has caused the cost of erection of the production line to remain high and difficult to reduce. For those with insufficient funds, it is naturally prohibitive, and they dare not expand the production line in order to increase production capacity. Delayed product shipments. [Summary of the Invention] In view of the problem that the aforementioned traditional spectrum analyzer is expensive, which leads to the excessively high manufacturing cost of wireless communication products, the inventor has based on many years of practical experience and research experience to develop a personal computer and power of the present invention. The spectrum measurement system composed of the meter is expected to effectively reduce the large and expensive purchase of 1227782 test equipment required for wireless communication products in the automated production process by virtue of the low cost, simple operation and easy maintenance of the spectrum measurement system. Cost to effectively enhance the competitiveness of the product. One object of the present invention is to use a pre-amplifier to pre-amplify a signal input from a wireless communication product under test, and then reduce the amplified input signal to an intermediate frequency signal through a frequency downconverter. Then pass an IF filter to filter the IF according to the set frequency resolution, and then measure its power through a power measurement. Finally, use a personal computer to read the power measured by the power meter. Power data, and convert the read detection frequency to a real frequency according to a pre-established spectrum signal correction table, and then use the actual frequency as the frequency axis and the power data as the power axis to draw the Spectrum signal analysis chart of wireless communication products under test. Another object of the present invention is to provide a scanning circuit in the spectrum measurement system. The personal computer can control the scanning circuit according to the input signal of the wireless communication product to be tested and the intermediate frequency required for detection. Generate the required waveform to control the oscillation frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator, so that the voltage-controlled oscillator generates a local oscillation frequency that linearly sweeps back and forth within a predetermined frequency range. Another object of the present invention is to connect a certain series of wireless communication products that have completed the detection and the channel width meets the specifications when establishing the calibration table of the spectrum signal, and the spectrum measurement system of the present invention. According to the scanned frequency and power data, the personal computer can compare with the actual spectrum signal known to the wireless communication product to form a required spectrum signal correction table. [Embodiment] The present invention is a spectrum measurement system composed of a personal computer and a power meter. As shown in FIG. 1, the spectrum measurement system uses a preamplifier 20 to receive a wireless communication under test. The input signal of product 10 is pre-amplified, and then a down converter 21 is used to down-convert the amplified input signal into an IF signal. The IF signal is then passed through a Intermediate frequency filter (IF Hlter) 22, according to the set frequency resolution, IF filter it to obtain the IF signal required to detect the wireless communication product 10, 嗣, and then through a power meter (Power Meter) 30 to measure the power of the IF signal. Therefore, in the present invention, it is only necessary to use a personal computer 50 again to read the power data measured by the power meter 30 through a control interface (Control Interface 1 ', and then read the detected frequency according to A spectrum signal correction table is established in advance, converted into an actual frequency, and then using the actual frequency as a frequency axis and the power data as a power axis, a spectrum signal analysis chart of the wireless communication product under test can be drawn. 1227782 The present invention In order to avoid the cumulative error generated by each component when testing the wireless communication product 10, which affects the authenticity of the detection result of the spectrum signal, the spectrum measurement system must be upgraded before testing the product to be tested. System calibration is performed to establish a spectrum signal calibration table. Therefore, the spectrum measurement system is provided with a scanning circuit (SweeperH1). The scanning circuit 41 is controlled by another control interface (Control Interfaced and Control Interfaced). The personal computer 50 is connected to receive the control of the personal computer 50 to generate a desired waveform (eg, a sawtooth wave), and the The voltage is transmitted to a voltage-controlled oscillator 42 (VC0) to control the oscillation frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator 42 so that the voltage-controlled oscillator 42 generates a local oscillation frequency that linearly sweeps back and forth within a predetermined frequency range. The personal computer 50 must control the scanning circuit 41 according to the input signal of the wireless communication product 10 to be tested and the intermediate frequency required for detection, and the waveform generated by the scanning circuit 41 can make the voltage-controlled oscillation The generator 42 generates the required oscillating frequency range. When the present invention establishes the Calimtian Table, it is a series of wireless communication products 10 that have completed the detection and the channel width meets the specifications. The spectrum measurement system is connected, and the personal computer 50 can compare with the actual spectrum signal known to the wireless communication product 10 according to the read spectrum signal to form a required spectrum signal correction table. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the spectrum measurement system first detects an 802.11b wireless network card that has completed the detection and the channel width meets the specifications. The personal computer 50 is caused to send a control signal through the other control interface 40 according to a known center frequency of 2412 MHz on the wireless network card, so that the scanning circuit 41 generates a required waveform to control the voltage-controlled oscillator. 42 generates an oscillating frequency that sweeps linearly back and forth between 2412MHz-150MHz-22MHZ to 2412MHz -150MHz + 22MHz. At this time, the signal input by the wireless network card to the preamplifier 20 is pre-amplified and then passes through the The frequency converter 21 (or mixer) mixes with the oscillating frequency generated by the voltage-controlled oscillator 42. At this time, if the center frequency of the IF filter 22 is set to 150 MHz, and the bandwidth is set to 1 MHz, Then the frequency reduction becomes the input signal of the intermediate frequency signal. After filtering by the intermediate frequency filter 22, a detection spectrum 値 having a frequency resolution of 1 MHz and a center frequency of 15 MHz will be obtained. At this time, the personal computer 50 can form a spectrum signal correction table as shown in the following table based on the detected spectrum signal read from the power meter 30 and the actual spectrum signal known by the wireless network card.
