Description
Requisites
Radiofrequency A
This BIST carries out a frequency
sweep in both connectors of
Transceiver A, both in split and join
modes, varying the output power for
each frequency and checking the
input power to detect differences
over a specified limit.
A cable for connecting Tx1 to Rx1 and
another one from Tx2 to Rx2 in
Transceiver A.
Radiofrequency B
Same as in Radiofrequency A, but
applied to Transceiver B.
Same than in Radiofrequency A, but
applied to Transceiver B.
DL-UL Tone Reception A
This BIST performs a loop between
the SPM-A DL FPGA (where a tone is
generated) and the PPM-A (where
the tone is received), checking that
the received tone matches the
transmitted one.
None
DL-UL Tone Reception B
Same than in DL-UL Tone Reception
A, but in RFM-B and PPM-B.
None
DL RIO Loopback A
This BIST performs a loop between
the PPM-A (from where data are
sent) and the SPM-A DL FPGA (where
the data are received).
None
DL RIO Loopback B
Same than in DL RIO Loopback A, but
in PPM-B and SPM-B.
None
UL RIO Tone Reception A
This BIST performs two tests:
(1) A loop between the SPM-A DL
FPGA and the PPM-A, checking that
the received tone waveform matches
the transmitted one.
(2) The reception in the PPM-A of a
tone generated in SPM-A UL FPGA.
None
UL RIO Tone Reception B
Same than in UL RIO Tone Reception
A, but in SPM-B and PPM-B.
None
Server PC
This BIST verifies that the Server PC
(SPC) board is alive.
This BIST will be executed only if the
board is detected at AMC level.
Array Ethernet
This test checks the Ethernet
interconnection between UXMs in an
array.
None
Array RIO
This test checks the RIO
interconnection between UXMs in an
array.
None
