Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A method of testing, such as for a bit error rate (BER), of multiple data packet signal transceivers during which a tester and the data packet signal transceivers exchange sequences of test data packets and summary data packets. The tester provides the test data packets which contain respective pluralities of data bits with respective predetermined bit patterns. Responsive thereto, the data packet signal transceivers provide the summary data packets which contain respective summary data indicative of the number of data bits with the respective predetermined bit patterns that are correctly received by corresponding ones of the data packet signal transceivers.
