Figure 62: Setup with spectrum analyzer and signal generator for radiated measurement
This feature allows the measurement of the transmitter and receiver power level to check components assembly
related to the module antenna interface and to check other device interfaces from which depends the RF
performance.
To avoid module damage during transmitter test a quad-band GSM antenna or a 50
Ω
termination must be connected to ANT pin.
To avoid module damage during receiver test the maximum power level received at ANT pin
must meet module specifications. It is suggested not to exceed power level -15 dBm at
antenna input.
The AT+UTEST command sets the module to emit RF power ignoring GSM signalling protocol. This
emission can generate interference that can be prohibited by law in some countries. The use of this
feature is intended for testing purpose in controlled environments by qualified user and must not be
used during the normal module operation. Follow instructions suggested in u-blox documentation.
u-blox assumes no responsibilities for the inappropriate use of this feature.
Example of production tests for OEM manufacturer:
1.
Trigger TX burst at low PCL (lower than 10) or trigger a RX measurement to check:
o
If
ANT
pin is soldered
o
If
ANT
pin is in short circuit
o
If module was damaged during soldering process or during handling (ESD, mechanical shock…)
o
If antenna matching components on application board are soldered
o
If integrated antenna is correctly connected
