Method for conducting radiated performance tests of a wireless device
View Patent ↗A method for conducting a radiated performance test on a wireless device comprising the steps of: establishing an interface from a test computer to the wireless device; establishing a data connection on the interface between the test computer and the wireless device; initializing and starting a timer for a predetermined interval on the wireless device; starting a test script on the wireless device; removing the interface during the predetermined interval; running the radiated performance test after the predetermined interval; storing a log of the radiated performance test on the wireless device; and analysing test results based on the log.
1. A method for conducting a radiated performance test on a wireless device under controlled test conditions, the method comprising the steps of:
establishing an interface from a test computer to said wireless device;
establishing a data connection on said interface between said test computer and said wireless device;
initializing and starting a timer for a predetermined interval on said wireless device;
removing said interface to said wireless device during said predetermined interval;
starting a radiated performance test result accumulation script at said wireless device after said predetermined interval;
subjecting said wireless device to said radiated performance test after said predetermined interval;
storing a log of said radiated performance test results on said wireless device; and
analysing said test results based on said log.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said interface is a data cable.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said interface is a wireless communications means.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein analysing said results includes:
re-establishing said interface;
re-establishing said data connection between said test computer and said wireless device;
retrieving said test log from said wireless device to said test computer; and
performing an analysis of said test log to provide derived test results.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said step of initializing a timer includes said software tool sending a command to said wireless device.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein analysing said test results includes:
performing an analysis of said log on said wireless device to obtain derived test results; and
displaying said test results on said wireless device.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said computer includes a software tool for communications between said wireless device and said computer.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein said step of establishing said data connection includes said software tool sending a command to said wireless device.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein said step of starting a test script includes said software tool sending a command to said wireless device.
10. The method of claim 1 . wherein said step of starting a test script further includes loading a test script from said computer to said wireless device.
11. The method of claim 1 . wherein said test script pre-exists on said wireless device.
12. A method for conducting a radiated performance test on a wireless device under controlled test conditions, the method comprising the steps of:
initializing and starting a timer from said wireless device for a predetermined interval;
starting a radiated performance test result accumulation script from said wireless device after said predetermined interval;
subjecting said wireless device to said radiated performance test after said predetermined interval;
storing a log of said radiated performance test results on said wireless device;
establishing an interface between said wireless device and a test computer;
establishing a data connection between said test computer and said wireless device;
retrieving said test log from said wireless device to said test computer; and
performing an analysis of said test log to provide derived test results.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein said interface is a data cable.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein said interface is a wireless communications means.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein said computer includes a software tool for communications between said wireless device and said computer.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein said step of establishing said data connection includes said software tool sending a command to said wireless device.
17. A method for conducting a radiated performance test on a wireless device under controlled test conditions, the method comprising the steps of:
initializing and starting a timer from said wireless device for a predetermined interval;
starting a radiated performance test result accumulation script from said wireless device after said predetermined interval;
subjecting said wireless device to said radiated performance test after said predetermined interval;
storing a log of said radiated performance test results on said wireless device;
performing an analysis of said log on said wireless device to obtain derived test results; and
displaying said test results on said wireless device.
