Problems solved by technology

[0006] The second is called the spread spectrum test system based on scalar network analyzer, which mainly includes ① scalar network analyzer, ② transmit spread spectrum module, ③ receive spread spectrum module, ④ DC regulated power supply, ⑤ power source spread spectrum module, There are a total of 5 types of equipment, not including the microwave and millimeter wave test cables connecting the equipment. However, the scalar network analyzers of various manufacturers are currently in a state of discontinuation
[0009] 1) Since they are all general-purpose products, they have redundant functions, that is, quite a few functions are almost completely unusable in the field of 76GHz~77GHz transmission characteristic testing
[0010] 2) Due to the need to adopt the spread spectrum system, the volume is relatively large, that is, no manufacturer in the field of test and measurement instruments has publicly developed an integrated test and measurement instrument for Up to 77GHz. Currently, the highest integrated test and measurement instrument is the highest The test frequency is only 67GHz
[0011] 3) Since it is a general-purpose product, spread spectrum technology is required, the price is quite expensive, and the purchase cycle is long
[0012] 4) Due to the collaborative work between multiple test and measurement instruments and spread spectrum modules involved, it is not easy for customers to realize customized functions according to their special requirements
For each test item, connect the corresponding instrument and the device under test. This kind of manual test cannot satisfy the mass-oriented assembly line production. If the test automation is not realized, the test will be quite cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and affect the measurement accuracy, and it cannot be automated.

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic testing system and an automatic testing method for the non-contact transmission characteristics of a millimeter waveband. The method comprises the following steps of: initializing the automatic testing system for the non-contact transmission characteristics of the millimeter waveband; calibrating the automatic testing system for the non-contact transmission characteristics of the millimeter waveband, and finishing a spatial transmission characteristic test under the condition of no element to be tested to obtain test information in a calibration state; finishing a transmission characteristic test under the condition that the element to be tested exists to obtain test information in a test state; obtaining the corresponding power information of a transmitter and a receiver under each frequency value; and subtracting power information obtained in the calibration state from power information obtained in the test state, and displaying a test curve of the transmission characteristics of the element to be tested. By the system and the method, a test in transmission characteristic parameters of 76 to 77GHz can be realized automatically, the problem of absence of millimeter wave testing means and testing equipment is solved, and the shortcomings of high cost, large volume, difficulties in automatic control and the like of testing equipment are overcome.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of testing and measuring of solid-state electronics, and relates to an automatic testing system and testing method of millimeter-wave band non-contact transmission characteristics. Background technique [0002] With the gradual development of the traditional traffic mode in the direction of intelligence, safety, energy saving, and high efficiency, the 77GHz ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Cruise Control) system can realize that vehicles can drive freely on the road by their own intelligence, and roads rely on their own intelligence. Adjust the traffic flow to the best state; with the help of this system, managers will have a clear grasp of the whereabouts of roads and vehicles. The ACC system on the new BMW 7 series has been transplanted to the new BMW 5 series. This system has a different control program from the traditional cruise system. Through the control handle under the steering wheel, the driv...
