A successful wireless charging technology requires full compatibility – any mobile device must
work with any base station, regardless of the manufacturer. The key to compatibility is having
powerful and flexible test tools that enable thorough and accurate testing.
CATS test tools for the base station and the mobile device are used for development purposes,
for pre-certification as well as for production control. CATS test tools for Qi are also used
by reference laboratories when certifying consumer products before they are released to
the market.

The CATS LP100 Qi BST
The LP100 Qi BST is designed to test the base station (i.e. the transmitter) and includes five reference measurement coils. The test tool allows for a wide range of test cases, including (but not
limited to) adjusting timing parameters, inserting protocol violations, monitoring output power,
adjusting the output load, monitoring the control error and much more. Each unit has a built-in
computer that is running Windows and is delivered with keyboard, mouse and a monitor.
To be able to fully use the CATS LP100 Qi BST, a suitable four-channel oscilloscope is necessary
(not included).

The Measurement Coils
The LP100 Qi BST includes five reference measurement coils (the TPR#1 configuration A-, B-, C-,
D- and E) that are individually tuned to maximize the measurement accuracy. The coils are color
coded and connected to the back of the BST-unit using XLR-connectors.
Options
A number of options can be chosen for the CATS LP100 Qi BST:
FOD (Foreign Object Detection)
• The CATS LP100 Qi BST can be upgraded to support FOD that is part of version 1.1 of the
Wireless Power Transfer, Volume 1: Low Power. The upgrade includes the ability to measure the
received power with very high accuracy, enabling the test tool to measure the impact of any
foreign object placed near the wireless power transfer. The upgrade also includes reference
objects and reference coil TPR#5/#6.
CATS is a contributing member of the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) and the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).
