    摘要: A local oscillator (LO) of a test system is set to an initial frequency whereupon a device under test (DUT) transmits a radio frequency (RF) signal to the test system. Characteristics of the RF signal are measured with the test system and used to identify magnitudes and frequencies of spurious signal products. The LO of the test system is reset to one or more subsequent frequencies that are offset from the initial frequency. One or more subsequent RF signals are transmitted from the DUT to the test system, with the DUT maintaining its original signal settings. Characteristics of the subsequent RF signals are measured with the test system and used to identify magnitudes and frequencies of spurious signal products for each of the subsequent LO frequencies. The spurious signal products that have shifted in frequency for each of the subsequent LO frequencies as self-generated signal products can then be identified.

    摘要: An apparatus for testing a wireless communication device includes a receiver, a capture module, and a control module. The receiver receives at least one test packet transmitted from the wireless communication device. The capture module captures at least a portion of the at least one test packet. The control module selectively controls the capture module to capture at least the portion based on a predetermined test flow. In one example, the at least one test packet is transmitted by the wireless communication device according to the predetermined test flow. In one example, control module selectively controls the capture module to capture at least the portion based on an expected calibration value associated with the at least one test packet. In one example, the control module selectively controls the capture module to capture at least the portion based on a predetermined value of interest.

    摘要: Circuitry and method for reduce test time for wireless signal systems by using dynamic adaptive correction of DC offsets generated by the test instrument. The data signal is sampled for downstream processing including during pre-, inter-, or post-packet time intervals where no packet-data signal is occurring and where the device's power amplifier is turned off. The sampled data signal is measured for a DC offset occurring during these inter-packet time gaps. Compensating DC offset values are stored in a table indexed by frequency, gain and temperature range. When a subsequent test is carried out at that frequency, gain, and temperature range, the stored compensation value is used to correct the signal. DC offsets continue to be measured, stored and applied to captured signals, continuously refining the compensation values and decreasing the need for time-intensive calibrations. When a measured DC offset exceeds pre-determined limits, the instrument undergo a calibration step.

    摘要: A system for testing a communication device includes a testing module, a measurement module, and a control module. The testing module transmits one or more first test signals based on a first test sequence. The measurement module acquires test data by receiving one or more second test signals that are based on the one or more first test signals. The control module initiates the first test sequence in response to receiving a start test signal from an analysis system. The control module transfers the test data to the analysis system in response to a transfer data request. The control module initiates a second test sequence while the analysis system is analyzing the test data. The testing module generates and transmits one or more third test signals based on the second sequence when the second test sequence has been initiated.
