    Abstract: An example test system includes memory (e.g., one or more memory devices) storing (i) instructions that are executable, and (ii) a mapping function that relates first error vector magnitudes (EVMs) for first symbols to second EVMs for the first symbols, where the first EVMs are corrupted by radio frequency (RF) noise and the second EVMs are corrupted by both RF noise and symbol decoding errors. The test system also includes a decoder to receive a signal from a device under test, and to obtain a third EVM for a second symbol that is based on the signal, where the third EVM is corrupted by both RF noise and a symbol decoding error. One or more processing devices are configured to execute the instructions to adjust the third EVM using the mapping function to correct the symbol decoding error in the third EVM.

    Abstract: In accordance with the presently claimed invention, a system and method are provided for testing multiple-input, multiple-output wireless radiofrequency (RF) packet data signal transceivers while operating in such ways as to communicate their signals using various combinations or permutations of packet data streams without requiring termination or re-establishment of communication links following transitions from one combination or permutation of packet data streams to another.

    Abstract: A method for testing data packet reception characteristics, such as sensitivity and throughput, of a data packet signal transceiver. By monitoring responsive data packet signals returning from a device under test (DUT), it can be determined whether and when the DUT has successfully received valid data packets, received faulty data packets, received valid data packets in a faulty manner, or not received valid data packets. When any of such events are detected, the stimulus data packet signals can be provided in such a manner as to determine whether possible DUT reception problems are related to power level, duration or data rate of the stimulus data packet signals, or to circuitry within DUT without requiring external controls over or querying of the DUT.

    Abstract: An example system includes a signal generator to output signals based on multiple carrier frequencies; a wired transmission medium for carrying the signals, where the wired transmission medium is configured as open ended to produce reflections on the wired transmission medium of the signals; and a signal analyzer to receive the reflections and to determine a transmission time of a signal along the wired transmission medium based on the reflections. The signal analyzer is configured to perform operations that include performing a search based on an estimated transmission time of the signal along the wired transmission medium and the reflections to determine the transmission time. The search is to determine which of multiple candidate transmission times to select for the transmission time.

    Abstract: An example method includes the 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; (iv) obtaining a power spectral density value using the frequency spectrum analyzing device, where a power spectral density comprises a power, at a frequency value, of a combined signal that is based on the attenuated device signal and the noise signal; (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.
