With tests over the antenna, good power and receiver measurement accuracy is only achieved with the exact knowledge of the antenna coupling factor, which depends on the phone model and the coupling device. A list of coupling factors for a number of phone models is already delivered with Lector and Scriptor, but does not cover all the phone models available on the market. Willtek offers an update service of the coupling factors for the latest models. These coupling factors are valid for the antenna connection between the phone and the Willtek 4916 Antenna Coupler installed in a 4921 RF Shield.

The 7360 Coupling Factor Update License is available as an option to 7312 Lector Enhanced and 7315 Scriptor. The option enables both applications to download actual coupling factors from the Internet. The update service is available for one year and can be renewed.

More than 800 phones have been characterised and are available in the coupling factor database. The factors relate to the combination of the 4916 Antenna Coupler (with the standard shuttle or the XY Shuttle) and the 4921 RF Shield.

7312 Lector Enhanced and 7315 Scriptor include the 7360 Coupling Factor Update license for one year.

Additionally check if the Bluetooth module of the phone is performing! This option adds Bluetooth Go/NoGo tests for instruments which do not support it inherently, like the 4100 and 4200 series instruments. With the 7361 Bluetooth Connectivity Test License, the 4941 Bluetooth Hardware can be connected directly to the PC.

7363 WiFi Connectivity Test License

Need to check the WiFi component of smartphones? This option is included in the 1491 WiFi Connectivity Test Package (also featuring a WiFi adapter, a tapper and cables). This way, the Wireless LAN capability can easily be tested along with the mobile radio parameters.
