    Abstract: A mechanism for determining an error vector magnitude EVMTD for a signal transmitted by a device under test (DUT). A receiver (typically an RF signal analyzer) produces a baseband signal in response to the signal transmission. An OFDM input signal (derived from the baseband signal) is accessed from memory. The OFDM input signal includes a sequence of time-domain OFDM input symbols. A reference signal is accessed from the memory. The reference signal includes a sequence of time-domain OFDM reference symbols. EVMTD is computed in the time domain based on a time-domain difference signal, i.e., a time-domain difference between the sequence of time-domain OFDM input symbols and the sequence of time-domain OFDM reference symbols. The error vector magnitude EVMTD is determined without transforming the sequence of time-domain OFDM input symbols to the frequency domain. The error vector magnitude EVMTD is related to a standard-defined composite EVM by a scalar multiple.

    Abstract: A low complexity system and method for operating a receiver in order to estimate an offset between the actual sample clock rate 1/TS′ of a receiver and an intended sample clock rate 1/TS. The receiver captures samples of a received baseband signal at the rate 1/TS′, operates on the captured samples to generate an estimate for the clock rate offset, and fractionally resamples the captured samples using the clock rate offset. The resampled data represents an estimate of baseband symbols transmitted by the transmitter. The action of operating on the captured samples involves computing an error vector signal and then estimating the clock rate offset using the error vector signal. The error vector signal may be computed in different ways depending on whether or not carrier frequency offset and carrier phase offset are assumed to be present in the received baseband signal.

    Abstract: Method and system for a test process. The method may include performing tests on one or more units under test (UUTs). At least one test on one or more UUTs may be performed. A signal may be acquired from the UUT. A reference signal may be retrieved. The reference signal may be derived from a transmitted signal characteristic of the UUT. The signal may be analyzed with respect to the reference signal. Results, useable to characterize the one or more UUTs, from performing the at least one test on the one or more UUTs may be stored. The reference signal may be derived from an initial test and may be stored for subsequent retrieval. A respective reference signal may be retrieved for all UUTs of the one or more UUTs for a respective test. The signal may be a radio frequency signal. The UUT may be a wireless mobile device.
