RF_Tuning_Tool

A Python program to facilitate GSM / WCDMA / CDMA2000 / LTE RF tuning and reduce manual operation.

Introduction

RF tuning contains many manual routine operations, including device setup, callbox setup and record measurement result. These routines take lots of time and distract RF engineer from tuning itself.

This program contains three classes to wrap callbox and phone commands and integrated tuning tools in both command-line and GUI.
