Abstract

A reception sensitivity test control unit 18 provided in a measurement device 1 and configured to execute a reception sensitivity test by repeatedly transmitting and receiving a test signal to a mobile terminal includes a test condition setting unit 18 a that initially sets a test condition including an initial step level SL0 and a starting output level OL0 of the test signal at a start of the reception sensitivity test, and an AI prediction test condition change setting unit 18 b that sets an AI prediction output level OL01, which is AI-predicted in advance by an AI prediction model based on the test condition set by the test condition setting unit 18 a , as a first output level instead of the output level OL0.

Claims (22)

1. A mobile terminal testing device, which includes a signal generator that generates a test signal and a reception sensitivity test execution unit that performs a reception sensitivity test of a mobile terminal by transmitting and receiving the test signal a plurality of times between the signal generator and the mobile terminal, and tests the mobile terminal that is a device under test, the mobile terminal testing device comprising:

setting means for initially setting a test condition including a step level and an output level of the test signal at start of the reception sensitivity test;

pass or fail determination means for performing a throughput measurement by transmitting and receiving the test signal under the test condition and comparing a throughput measurement result with a determination threshold value to perform pass or fail determination;

output level setting means for setting the output level according to a result of the pass or fail determination of a previous throughput measurement in a case where the result of the pass or fail determination is fail; and

AI prediction test condition change setting means for holding an AI prediction model generated by performing machine learning on a relationship between parameter data and measurement result data from a measurement log file of the past reception sensitivity test using artificial intelligence, and setting an AI prediction output level, which is AI-predicted in advance by the AI prediction model based on the test condition set by the setting means, as a first output level instead of the output level.

2. The mobile terminal testing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the AI prediction test condition change setting means sets, instead of the step level, an AI prediction step level, which is AI-predicted in advance by the AI prediction model based on a measurement result of a first throughput measurement performed by transmitting and receiving the test signal at the AI prediction output level, as a step level for second and subsequent measurements.

3. The mobile terminal testing device according to claim 2 , wherein

the AI prediction test condition change setting means, in a case where a result of the pass or fail determination for the measurement result of the first throughput measurement is fail, thereafter, performs an update process of the output level for a next measurement using the AI prediction step level until a second throughput measurement.

4. The mobile terminal testing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the AI prediction test condition change setting means designates loss of an external connection cable, an azimuth angle (θ, φ) of the mobile terminal, and a frequency to be measured as the parameter data, and holds the AI prediction model generated by performing the machine learning on the relationship between the parameter data and the measurement result data.

5. The mobile terminal testing device according to claim 2 , wherein

the reception sensitivity test execution unit, in a case where a result of the pass or fail determination for a measurement result of a second throughput measurement is fail, controls the output level setting means to perform a level down process A, a level down process B, a level up process A, or a level up process B.

6. The mobile terminal testing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an anechoic box including an internal space; and

scanning means for driving and scanning the mobile terminal so as to continuously vary an orientation of the mobile terminal in the internal space, wherein

the reception sensitivity test is performed in all orientations to be scanned by the scanning means in an over the air (OTA) measurement environment in the internal space.

7. A mobile terminal testing method for performing a reception sensitivity test of a mobile terminal by using a mobile terminal testing device, which includes a signal generator that generates a test signal and a reception sensitivity test execution unit that performs the reception sensitivity test of the mobile terminal by transmitting and receiving the test signal a plurality of times between the signal generator and the mobile terminal, and tests the mobile terminal that is a device under test, and by transmitting and receiving the test signal between the signal generator and the mobile terminal a plurality of times, the mobile terminal testing method comprising:

a setting step of initially setting a test condition including a step level and an output level of the test signal at start of the reception sensitivity test;

an AI prediction test condition change setting step of holding an AI prediction model generated by performing machine learning on a relationship between parameter data and measurement result data from a measurement log file of the past reception sensitivity test using artificial intelligence, and setting an AI prediction output level, which is AI-predicted in advance by the AI prediction model based on the test condition set by the setting step, as a first output level instead of the output level;

a pass or fail determination step of performing a first throughput measurement by transmitting and receiving the test signal at the AI prediction output level and comparing a first throughput measurement result with a determination threshold value to perform pass or fail determination; and

a step level change setting step of setting, instead of the step level, an AI prediction step level, which is AI-predicted in advance by the AI prediction model based on a measurement result of the first throughput measurement, as a step level for second and subsequent measurements.
