    摘要: An example method includes following operations: (i) receiving a device signal from a device under test (DUT); (ii) setting an attenuation value; (iii) applying the attenuation value to the device signal to produce an attenuated device signal for a frequency spectrum analyzing device, where the frequency spectrum analyzing device produces a noise signal and intermodulation interference; (iv) obtaining a power spectral density value, where the power spectral density value comprises a power, at a frequency value, of a combined signal that is based on the attenuated device signal, the noise signal, and the intermodulation interference; (v) repeating operations (ii), (iii), and (iv) one or more times to produce multiple power spectral density values; (vi) repeating operations (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) one or more times to add power spectral density values to the multiple power spectral density values; and (vii) obtaining a power spectral density of the device signal.

    摘要: Method for testing a radio frequency (RF) data packet signal transceiver device under test (DUT) via a wireless signal medium that enables final functional testing of a fully assembled DUT without requiring wired signal connections. System performance characteristics indicative of manufacturing assembly defects, such as defective antennas or subsystem connections, can be performed using over the air (OTA) test signals communicated wirelessly between the DUT and a tester. By using actual DUT performance characteristics determined during earlier manufacturing tests, such as receiver sensitivity and transmitter power, and known power levels available from the tester transmitter, the OTA signal path loss (i.e., attenuation of the wireless signal) can be estimated and used to confirm the final state of system operation.

    摘要: Method and system for facilitating testing of multiple time-division-duplex (TDD) data packet signal transceivers. Replicas of a data packet signal are transmitted by a tester to multiple TDD devices under test (DUTs), where the replicated signal is either a null or TDD data packet signal. In one embodiment, replica null data packet signals are transmitted for a predetermined time interval sufficient for the DUTs to synchronize with the tester. In another embodiment, following successful and unsuccessful receptions of responsive signals from respective DUTs indicating successful reception of their respective replica TDD data packet signals and, therefore, synchronization with the tester, corresponding replica TDD data packet signals are provided with data packet signal characteristics causing such replica data packet signals to fail to conform or to conform, respectively, with a predetermined data packet signal standard. Following synchronization, test and responsive data packet signals can be exchanged between the tester and DUTs.

    摘要: System and method for facilitating testing of multiple data packet signal transceivers involving data-packet-signal replication and one or more status signals indicating successful and unsuccessful receptions of confirmation signals. Based upon the one or more status signals, one or more control signals cause the replicated data packet signals to be distributed to the devices under test (DUTs) such that, following successful and unsuccessful receptions of confirmation signals, corresponding replicated data packet signals are caused to fail to conform in part or to conform, respectively, with a predetermined data packet signal standard.

    摘要: A system and method for using a wireless radio frequency (RF) data packet signaling link to enable non-link control of testing of a data packet signal transceiver device under test (DUT) in which a communication session between a tester and a DUT for purposes of testing the DUT may first be initiated by a separate, commonly available, and lower cost, communication device. Following its establishment, the tester may monitor the communication session, e.g., via wireless signal sniffing, to acquire and use associated device identification information to join the session and transmit trigger based test (TBT) data packets for initiating a test sequence within the DUT. Hence, use of a non-link capable tester to perform parametric testing of a DUT at the lowest network architecture layer, e.g., the physical (PHY) layer, may be enabled.

    摘要: An example process determines a first error vector magnitude (EVM) of a signal output by a device under test (DUT). The process includes adding attenuation on a signal path between the DUT and a vector signal analyzer (VSA), where the attenuation is changeable: measuring, at the VSA, at least two second EVMs for different values of attenuation of the signal output by the DUT, where the at least two second EVMs are corrupted by noise from the VSA, and where each of the at least two second EVMs is based on two or more measurements; and determining the first EVM based on a linear relationship that is based on the first EVM, the at least two second EVMs, and a function based on the attenuation, where the first EVM is without at least some of the noise from the VSA.
