Apparatus for a RF wired MIMO link tester

摘要

A wired link tester for checking the performance of a multiple antenna system is provided to configure wired links in response to wireless links for the multiple antenna system, thereby reproducing a status that a signal transmitted from a transmitting antenna is received to all receiving antennas. A wired link tester(120) is connected to a BS1(111), a BS2(112), a terminal(130), and an external computer(140) to configure a test environment. The wired link tester comprises a fast fading reproduction unit(200), a path loss reproduction unit(300), and a control unit(600). The fast fading reproduction unit makes the wired link tester configure 16 wired links in response to 16 wireless links for the maximum 4x4 multiple antenna system, and reproduces a status that a RF(Radio Frequency) signal transmitted from a transmitting antenna is received to all receiving antennas, and changes the characteristics of a variable attenuator and a variable phase shifter according to the control signal of the control unit to reproduce fast fading characteristics. The path loss reproduction unit forms 16 wired links with the fast fading reproduction unit, and changes the characteristics of a variable attenuator positioned at the path loss reproduction unit according to the control signal of the control unit to reproduce path loss characteristics. The control unit prestores a value for reproducing the characteristic of a wireless link and controls the fast fading reproduction unit and the path loss reproduction unit according to the prestored value.
