assistance of a special manufacturing firmware on the LILY-W1 series module and the
labtool
utility.
The manufacturing firmware and
labtool
utility allow setting the module into Rx or Tx test modes and
perform tests to determine the RF performance, for example:
☞
Transmit in a specified channel and power level in all supported rates and bands to measure
output power
☞
Receive in a specified channel to verify sensitivity
☞
See the
Radio Test Guide [3]
for description of the
labtool
utility and detail guide of usage.
This feature allows the measurement of the transmitter and receiver power levels to check
component assembly related to the module antenna interface and to check other device interfaces
that affect the RF performance.
The module can also be set into TX test modes without using the
labtool
utility. Sample scripts for
this can be provided through u-blox support. The test modes for Wi-Fi still require the use of the
manufacturing firmware.
⚠
To avoid module damage during transmitter test, a proper antenna according to module
specifications or a 50
Ω
termination must be connected to ANT port on LILY-W131 module.
⚠
To avoid module damage during receiver test, the maximum power level received at antenna ports
must meet the module specifications.
Figure 16 illustrates a typical test setup for such RF functional test.
