A measuring device for performing measurements on a device under test is provided. It comprises a transmitter, which is adapted to transmit a first message to the device under test with a first transmission power. The first message comprises a first transmission power parameter and an expected reception power parameter. The measuring device moreover comprises a parameter generator, which is adapted to generate the first transmission power parameter larger than the first transmission power by an error value. The parameter generator is moreover adapted to generate the expected reception power parameter lower than an expected reception power of the measuring device, by the error value.
