Abstract: A device may include a receive (Rx) antenna input to couple an Rx antenna to an Rx chain, and a signal coupler to inject the test signal toward the Rx antenna. The device may include an Rx antenna switch to, in a first switch state, cause the Rx antenna to be isolated from the Rx chain and, in a second switch state, permit the test signal to probe the Rx antenna. The Rx chain may measure a phasor of a first baseband signal generated based on a first reflected test signal and a phasor of a second baseband signal generated based on a second reflected test signal. The device may include a control circuit to compute a complex ratio based on the phasors, compute a measured reflection coefficient based on the complex ratio and using a transfer function, and monitor an impedance matching of the Rx antenna.

Abstract: A method for determining a nonlinearity characteristic of a receiver path includes generating a set of N×M digital samples by repeating N times selecting an scaling factor from a set of N scaling factors, generating a version of a test signal, the version of the test signal corresponding to a test signal scaled by the respective scaling factor, processing the respective version of the test signal in at least a part of the receiver path to generate a respective processed signal, and storing M digital samples corresponding to the respective processed signal. Fourier-transformed data are generated using at least a portion of the set of N×M digital samples and a nonlinearity characteristic of the receiver path is determined based on the Fourier-transformed data.
