    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: Execution of a block test “retry” in a test environment with each block in the test sequence sent after the tester has determined that the previous block of data packets has met one or more prescribed test criterion. If a block sent by the DUT has not met the test criterion, a retry sequence is initiated to re-test the block. In another embodiment, a block test “retry” is executed where each block in the test sequence is sent and analysis of previously sent blocks is done in parallel with the sending of a subsequent block. If a previous block has not met the test criterion, a retry sequence is initiated whereby the tester and DUT step back to the block that failed to meet the test criterion and retry that block. If the retry meets test criterion, testing continues by resuming with the next untested block in the sequence.

    摘要: A method and system for testing a wireless data packet transceiver as a device under test (DUT) adapted to operate in conformance with a wireless signal standard such that a transmitted signal, when received by an intended receiver, is to result in a responsive signal transmission acknowledging such signal reception. During testing, responsive signal transmissions, e.g., acknowledgement signals, are withheld by the test system until after a predetermined number of data packets have been captured from the DUT, until a predetermined time interval has passed, or until data packets at a predetermined number of data rates have been captured from the DUT.

    摘要: A system and method for testing multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) devices under test (DUTs) with multiple radio frequency (RF) signal testers. Each tester receives one or more RF signals from one or more of the DUTs, and the testers are mutually coupled in a ring such that successive ones receive a trigger input signal from an upstream tester and provide a trigger output signal to a downstream tester. Each tester is responsive to its input trigger signal and its one or more RF signals by providing its output trigger signal such that its output trigger signal has an asserted state initiated in response to an assertion of its input trigger signal and a transcending of a predetermined magnitude by at least one of the one or more RF signals.

    摘要: A system and method for initiating testing of a plurality of communication devices. The tester and devices under test (DUTs) are first synchronized as a way of confirming test readiness on the part of the DUTs, Following that, a test sequence is initiated by the tester. The synchronization and test initiation can be accomplished using signals with differing signal magnitudes or device identifiers. The test sequence can be a DUT transmit signal test in which each DUT transmits data packets in accordance with one or more predefined test sequences. Alternatively, the test sequence can be a DUT receive signal test in which the tester transmits data packets to the DUTs with differing signal frequencies or signal magnitudes.
