Todays always connected lifestyle have proved importance of Smartphone and it is contributing to economy as well. Government focus of Digital India need Smartphone as instrumental tool to reach goals such as e-Health, e-Education, e-banking, retail and many more. Smartphones are playing a key role Digital transformation of services which are good for humankind.
During August 2020 we saw many news about India emerging as electronics manufacturing hub due governments push of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat-(Self Reliant India) Make In India or Vocal for Local voice. Some of them are mentioned here to show importance of Smartphone market in India and how world is looking India?
On August 1, communications and IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had announced that 22 companies — including Samsung, Foxconn, Wistron and Pegatron — had filed their applications under the PLI scheme, which is aimed at weaning away global manufacturers from countries like China and Vietnam. All of Apple’s three contract manufacturers — Foxconn, Wistron and Pegatron — have applied to take benefits of the PLI scheme and are moving manufacturing from places like China to India.
Taiwan-based contract manufacturer Wistron has planned an investment of over Rs 2,900 crore in the country to ramp up efforts to manufacture the upcoming iPhone 12 in India, Business Standard reported citing sources. Foxconn, on the other hand, is also investing $1 billion in India, albeit not exclusively for Apple.
Samsung is likely to diversify its production lines for making smartphones to India under the PLI (Production Linked Incentive) scheme as well.
All above information shows that India is ready to act as catalyst in Smartphone manufacturing now.
In order to meet all such challenging smartphone production target, we need various parts- display, battery, motherboard, components etc along to reliable testing tools. Smartphone production lines must be able to test complete smartphone assembly in shortest time. Testing must be more reliable which will help to deliver finished smartphones for delivery in market.
The remarkable success of smartphones and IoT is driving demand for faster inspection speeds on smartphone and communication module production lines and this market trend is expected to continue. Coupled with this, wireless communication standards are continuing to evolve and develop, leading to a growing range of specifications.
In these circumstances, terminal and module makers are looking to increase line efficiency while assuring smooth and flexible support for the various new standards.

TRX Test Module MU887000A/01A Features
Integration with Leading-edge High-speed Measurement Methods
Times for manufacturing and testing mobile terminals have been slashed using leading-edge hardware architecture and parallel measurement technology. Additionally, multiple items for batch measurement processing can be freely selected for any number of repeat measurements. Batch measurement of selected items greatly simplifies and speeds up key tests.
Non-signalling Measurement Support: The MT8870A performs measurements in a non-signalling environment. As shown in the figure below, alleviating the need to establish direct communication with the DUT brings considerable savings in both time and manufacturing costs.
Sequence Measurement (Mobile Communication Terminals)
- For mobile terminals supporting sequence measurements (list mode), TRX tests are performed in accordance with a sequence table (list) where measurement conditions are recorded while changing the test conditions.
- Since each measurement is executed at high speed in accordance with a redetermined sequence without using remote control commands, line tact times are greatly reduced, increasing line throughput and efficiency.
Built-in Audio Analyzer/Audio Generator
Installing the Audio Measurement Hardware MU88700xA-002 in the MU88700xA supports a built-in audio analyzer and audio generator.
The MU88700xA-002 supports both analog and digital audio. The stereo and monaural analog audio inputs and outputs of a communications device can be measured using the four BNC connectors (input and output for both left and right channels).
Additionally, digital audio communications modules without analog audio inputs and outputs are supported without needing an AD/DC converter using the RJ-45 connector on the MU88700xA to measure digital audio signals using the standard inter-IC Sound (I2S) format.
The MU88700xA-002 solution saves spaces and cuts costs by combining RF and audio measurements into one unit, eliminating the need for separate production lines for RF measurements and audio measurements
Ease of Configuration
Line capacity can change from week to week or month to month, depending on customers’ needs and the specifications of the device under test. The number of test modules installed*1 in the MT8870A can be tailored to meet changes in line test stations and items, keeping the line efficiency high without needing major configuration changes to the line and stations.
