Radio interference testing for multi radio devices

摘要

A method for testing radio properties of a module in a platform. The module has at least one element, and the platform has at least one element in which an element includes a receiver. The method includes importing an identification of a plurality of elements and an identification of elements having receivers which are capable of measuring and communicating radio parameters. For each identified receiver, the receiver is enabled and a radio parameter measurement is performed and stored in which other identified elements are disabled for a reference level measurement. For each other identified element different from the identified receiver, a further radio parameter measurement is taken and stored for which the other element different from the identified receiver is enabled for a disturbance level measurement of the given other enabled element with respect to the identified enabled receiver.

1. A method for testing radio properties of at least a module (MO) in a platform (P), the module and the platform having a plurality of elements in which at least one element has a receiver, each element potentially being susceptible to interference from the other ones of the plurality of elements, the method comprising:
importing (10) an identification of the plurality of elements (e1-eP; u1-uN); and identifying each of the plurality of elements based at least in part on the imported identification of the plurality of elements, the identifying of the plurality of elements including identifying which elements have at least one receiver (R) capable of measuring and communicating radio parameters; for each (n) identified receiver (R):
enabling (12) the identified receiver (R);disabling the other identified plurality of elements by substantially removing power from the other identified plurality of elements; andperforming a first radio parameter measurement when the identified receiver (R) is enabled and the other plurality of elements are disabled for a reference level measurement (NREF);storing the first radio parameter measurement; andfor each of the other plurality of elements different from the identified receiver (R):
enabling the other identified plurality of elements one at a time;performing a second radio parameter measurement when only a selected one of the other identified plurality of elements is enabled and the identified receiver (R) is enabled for a disturbance level measurement of the selected one of the other identified plurality of enabled elements with respect to the identified enabled receiver (R); andstoring the second radio parameter.
