Product testing 

5.1

 

u-blox in-series production test 

u-blox focuses on high quality for its products. All units produced are fully tested automatically on the 
production line. Stringent quality control processes have been implemented in the production line. 
Defective units are analyzed in detail to improve production quality. 

This is achieved with automatic test equipment (ATE) in the production line, which logs all production 
and measurement data. A detailed test report for each unit can be generated from the system. The 
following 

Figure 73

 illustrates the typical automatic test equipment (ATE) in a production line. 

The following typical tests are among the production tests.  

•

 

Digital self-test (firmware download, flash firmware verification, IMEI programming) 

•

 

Measurement of voltages and currents 

•

 

Adjustment of ADC measurement interfaces 

•

 

Functional tests (serial interface communication, SIM card communication) 

•

 

Digital tests (GPIOs and other interfaces) 

•

 

Measurement and calibration of RF characteristics in all supported bands (such as receiver S/N 
verification, frequency tuning of the reference clock, calibration of transmitter and receiver power 
levels, etc.) 

•

 

Verification  of  the  RF  characteristics  after  calibration  (i.e.  modulation  accuracy,  power  levels, 
spectrum, etc. are checked to ensure they are all within tolerances when calibration parameters 
are applied)

Test parameters for OEM manufacturers 

Because of the testing done by u-blox (with 100% coverage), an OEM manufacturer does not need to 
repeat the firmware tests or measurements of the module RF performance or tests over analog and 
digital interfaces in their production test. 

However, an OEM manufacturer should focus on: 

•

 

Module assembly on the application device; it should be verified that: 

o

 

The soldering and handling process did not damage the module components 

o

 

All module pins are well soldered on the device board 

o

 

There are no short circuits between pins
