Figure 96: Setup with spectrum analyzer and signal generator for radiated measurement
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 on which RF performance depends.
To avoid module damage during transmitter test, a proper antenna according to module
specifications or a 50
termination must be connected to the ANT pin.
To avoid module damage during receiver, test the maximum power level received at the ANT
pin which must meet the module specifications.
The AT+UTEST command sets the module to emit RF power ignoring the 2G/3G 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 purposes in controlled environments by qualified users and must not be
used during normal module operation. Follow the instructions suggested in u-blox documentation. u-blox
assumes no responsibilities for the inappropriate use of this feature.
