Patent ID: 7263355

Claim:
A test apparatus for a radio communication terminal, comprising: a single housing; and a test apparatus main body provided in the single housing, wherein the test apparatus main body comprises: a connection unit to which is connectable to at least one of: (i) one radio communication terminal adopting one of GSM and W-CDMA communication systems, (ii) two radio communication terminals both adopting a same one of the GSM and W-CDMA communication systems, (iii) two radio communication terminals respectively adopting different ones of the GSM and W-CDMA communication systems, and (iv) a radio communication terminal adopting both the GSM and W-CDMA communication systems; a common bus; first and second independent terminal control units which are parallelly connected between the common bus and the connection unit, and which, when at least one said radio communication terminal adopting at least one of the GSM and W-CDMA communication systems is connected to the connection unit, output test signals including signals that control the at least one radio communication terminal based on measurement instructions and predetermined test programs corresponding to the at least one communication system adopted by the at least one radio communication terminal, said measurement instructions and predetermined test programs being supplied independently to the first terminal control unit and the second terminal control unit via the common bus; first and second independent measurement units which are parallelly connected between the common bus and the connection unit, and which respectively perform measurements in accordance with conditions designated by the measurement instructions upon reception of response signals which are independently output from each said radio communication terminal connected to the connection unit in response to the test signals output from the first and second terminal control units; and a total control unit which supplies, in advance, the predetermined test programs according to the at least one of the GSM and W-CDMA communication systems adopted by the at least one radio communication terminal connected to the connection unit, and which outputs the measurement instructions at predetermined timings to the first and second terminal control units via the common bus, to cause the first and second terminal control units and the first and second measurement units to perform control and measurement, respectively, in synchronism with each other.
