Test #1

Receiver Current Draw

The purpose of this test is to ensure that our receiver's microcontroller consumes an average current less than or equal to our maximum set in the engineering requirements. Also verify that our RX device does not draw a maximum current exceeding out engineering requirements.

Corresponds to ER4 and ER6.

Test #2

Transceiver Distance

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the transceiver modules can transmit and receive at ranges greater than or equal to our minimum set in the engineering requirements.

Corresponds to ER1 and ER2.

Test #3

Temperature Sensor Characterization

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the temperature sensors can read temperature values within the error range set in the engineering requirements. Also verify that our system can operate in the temperature ranges set in our engineering requirements.

Corresponds to ER5 and ER9.

Test #4

Alert Timing

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the two devices in our system can exchange signals and alert the users in a time frame less that the upper limit set in our engineering requirements.

Corresponds to ER7.

Test #5

Receiver Dimensions

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the receiver device fits within the physical dimensions set in our engineering requirments.

Corresponds to ER8.

Test #6

Motion Detection

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the RCWL-0516 doppler radar is able to detect motion at least 3 meters away directly in front of the antenna, while also not detecting motion behind RF obstructing aluminum foil.
