摘要： Electronic device structures such as structures containing antennas, cables, connectors, welds, electronic device components, conductive housing structures, and other structures can be tested for faults using a test system to perform conducted testing. The test system may include a vector network analyzer or other test unit that generates radio-frequency test signals in a range of frequencies. The radio-frequency test signals may be transmitted to electronic device structures under test using a contact test probe that has at least signal and ground pins. The test probe may receive corresponding radio-frequency signals. The transmitted and received radio-frequency test signals may be analyzed to determine whether the electronic device structures under test contain a fault.

摘要： Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry coupled to multiple antennas though a passive coupler. When transmitting signals, the passive coupler can divide transmitted signals between each of the multiple antennas. When using the antennas to receive signals, the received signals can be combined using the passive coupler. The combined signals may be provided to a receiver in the transceiver circuitry. A tap may be interposed in a path between the passive coupler and one of the antennas to monitor radio-frequency signal power. Phase-shift elements may be interposed in the paths between the antennas and the passive coupler to adjust the relative phase between signals associated with the first and second antennas.

摘要： An electronic device may transmit and receive wireless signals using wireless circuitry that is controlled by control circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include adjustable components such as adjustable antenna structures, adjustable front end circuitry, and adjustable transceiver circuitry. During characterization operations, the electronic device may be tested to identify operating settings for the wireless circuitry that lead to potential wireless interference between aggressor transmitters and victim receivers. The control circuitry can adjust the wireless circuitry to mitigate the effects of interference based on settings identified during characterization operations or real time signal quality measurements.

摘要： A test station may include a test host, a test unit, and a test enclosure. A device under test (DUT) having at least first and second antennas may be placed in the test enclosure during production testing. Radio-frequency test signals may be conveyed from the test unit to the DUT using a test antenna in the test enclosure. In a first time period during which the performance of the first antenna is being tested, the DUT may be oriented in a first position such that path loss between the first antenna and the test antenna is minimized. In a second time period during which the performance of the second antenna is being tested, the DUT may be oriented in a second position such that path loss between the second antenna and the test antenna is minimized. The DUT is marked as a passing DUT if gathered test data is satisfactory.

摘要： Electronic devices may be provided with antenna structures such as distributed loop antenna resonating element structures. A distributed loop antenna may be formed on an elongated dielectric carrier and may have a longitudinal axis. The distributed loop antenna may include a loop antenna resonating element formed from a sheet of conductive material that extends around the longitudinal axis. A gap may be formed in the sheet of conductive material. The gap may be located under an opaque masking layer on the underside of a display cover glass associated with a display. The loop antenna resonating element may have a main body portion that includes the gap and may have an extended tail portion that extends between the display and conductive housing structures. The main body portion and extended tail portion may be configured to ensure that undesired waveguide modes are cut off during operation of the loop antenna.
