Abstract

To enable addition or changes of functions with changes of communication standards in a mobile communication terminal test system. A mobile communication terminal test system includes a transceiver which has a control unit configured to append input information to acquired waveform data, a signal analysis unit which executes an analysis program, and a signal analyzer which is provided separately from the transceiver. The analysis program has a processing program which is provided for each type of arithmetic processing on the waveform data, a control program which is provided for each communication system, selects one or more processing programs for each test item, and executes the processing programs, and a switching program which specifies a communication system and a test item on the basis of the input information, and selects and executes a control program.

Claims (27)

1. A mobile communication terminal test system comprising:

a transceiver, including a measurement unit which transmits and receives a signal with respect to a terminal under test and acquires waveform data of a received signal, and a control unit which controls the measurement unit in accordance with a designated communication system and a test item, and appends input information for identifying the communication system and the test item to the waveform data; and

a signal analyzer which includes a signal analysis unit configured to analyze the waveform data received from the transceiver, and is provided separately from the transceiver,

wherein the signal analysis unit includes

arithmetic processing units which are provided for respective types of arithmetic processings so as to perform a plurality of types of arithmetic processings on the waveform data,

control processing units which are provided for respective communication systems, select one or more arithmetic processing units so as to output desired analysis data for each test item, and allow the arithmetic processing units to perform the arithmetic processings in association as a set of processes in a predetermined sequence, and

a switching unit which specifies the communication system and the test item on the basis of the input information appended to the waveform data, and selects a control processing unit in accordance with the specified communication system and the specified test item, and

the control processing unit is selected by the switching unit in accordance with the specified communication system, and when the control processing unit is selected, the arithmetic processing unit performs the processes in accordance with the specified test item.

2. The mobile communication terminal test system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the signal analysis unit is configured so that one or both of the arithmetic processing units and the control processing units can be added or deleted.

3. A method of analyzing waveform data by a transceiver ( 1 ) and a signal analyzer,

wherein the transceiver includes a measurement unit which transmits and receives a signal with respect to a terminal under test and acquires waveform data of a received signal, and a control unit which controls the measurement unit in accordance with a designated communication system and a test item, and appends input information for identifying the communication system and the test item to the waveform data, and

the signal analyzer includes a signal analysis unit which executes an analysis program for analyzing the waveform data to analyze the waveform data received from the transceiver,

the method comprising:

a preparation step of preparing, as the analysis program,

processing programs which are provided for respective types of arithmetic processings so as to perform a plurality of types of arithmetic processings on the waveform data,

control programs which are provided for respective communication systems, select a processing program, which performs one or more arithmetic processings so as to output desired analysis data for each test item, and allow the processing program to perform the arithmetic processings in association as a set of processes in a predetermined sequence, and

a switching program which specifies the communication system and the test item on the basis of the input information appended to the waveform data;

a condition specification step of specifying the communication system and the test item on the basis of the input information appended to the waveform data;

a switching step in which a control program corresponding to the communication system is executed in accordance with the specified communication system; and

an arithmetic execution step in which a control program is selected for each step of each arithmetic processing associated with the specified test item and the arithmetic processing is performed.

4. An analysis program which causes a computer to analyze waveform data measured through transmission/reception of a signal with respect to a terminal under test and appended with input information for identifying a designated communication system and a test item,

wherein the analysis program has

processing functions for respective types of arithmetic processings so as to perform a plurality of types of arithmetic processings on the waveform data,

control functions which are provided for respective communication systems, and execute one or more processing functions in association as a set of processes in a predetermined sequence so as to output desired analysis data for each test item, and

a specification function which specifies the communication system and the test item on the basis of the input information appended to the waveform data, and executes the control function in accordance with the specified communication system, and

when the control function is executed, the processing function is executed in accordance with the specified test item.
