This feature allows the measurement of the transmitter and receiver power levels to check component assembly
related to the module antenna interface and to check other device interfaces from which depends the RF
performance.
To avoid module damage during transmitter test, a proper antenna according to module
specifications or a 50  termination must be connected to ANT1 port.
To avoid module damage during receiver test the maximum power level received at ANT1 and
ANT2 ports must meet module specifications.
The AT+UTEST command sets the module to emit RF power ignoring LTE/3G/2G signaling protocol. This
emission can generate interference that can be prohibited by law in some countries. The use of this
feature is intended for testing purpose in controlled environments by qualified user and must not be used
during the normal module operation. Follow instructions suggested in u-blox documentation. u-blox
assumes no responsibilities for the inappropriate use of this feature.
Figure 71 illustrates a typical test setup for such RF functional test.
