Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a microwave radio transceiver test arrangement adapted for testing a microwave radio transceiver.
  • waveguides are used for transporting wireless signals, due to the low losses incurred in a waveguide.
  • Radio systems and radio units comprise in-built functions for self-testing and diagnostics. Normally, such tests are made by diverting a relatively small amount of signal power from the transmitter to the receiver in a test loop and evaluate the received signal qualify. If the test is successful, it is quite likely that the whole transmit and receive chains in the radio unit are fully working.
  • This controlled diverting or decoupling can for example be generated by means of switches on a radio unit printed circuit board (PCB), by means of directional couplers on the PCB, in filter units etc. In this context, it is important to obtain enough isolation between the transmitter and the receiver in the radio unit when the test loop is not in use.
  • PCB radio unit printed circuit board
  • a possible solution to this problem is to transmit signal power on frequencies that normally are not used in the radio unit, and some of this signal power may radiate out from the antenna on a level that exceeds current regulated levels.
  • transmitter noise will disturb the receiver, and in a worst case the transmit signal will find a path to the receiver and more or less jam the receiver.
  • a microwave radio transceiver test arrangement adapted for testing a microwave radio transceiver and comprising a control unit adapted to control a signal generator and an amplifier device that is adapted to amplify a generated signal.

  • the microwave radio transceiver can be tested using any suitable frequency and/or power ranges, and without introducing any leakage paths during normal use. Since the test settings that can be used in the test mode are not limited as for previous test solutions, the test will be complete and potential failing components will be discovered.
  • a true wide band RF loop function according to the present disclosure can be used for failure analysis and calibration in field. Thereto, the risk for unwanted signal into the air or between transmitter and receiver is eliminated during normal operation.
  • Microwave radio transceiver calibration is made possible in field, or at least close to the site, and will enable reconfiguration of the microwave radio transceiver from one frequency to another frequency without shipping the hardware back to the factory. This in-field configuration possibility will help to minimize shipping as the supplier or customer can have one main product that can be easily reconfigured to the version that is finally needed. If the network requires alterations, the hardware could be reused again, only needing re-configuration.
