Mobile communication test device and a corresponding method

A mobile communication test device for testing a mobile user equipment, the test device comprising:

• a number of transmit-receive units with a signal generator, wherein the signal generator of at least one transmit-receive unit generates test signals, which represent at least two different communication partners of the mobile user equipment,
• a number of test interfaces, which connect the transmit-receive units with the mobile user equipment and transmit the test signals to the mobile user equipment,
• a test processor, which analyses the reaction of the mobile user equipment to the transmitted test signals based on a predefined test specification,
• a number of configurable logic devices of the mobile communications test device, each of the configurable logic devices comprising at least one transmit-receive unit and/or at least one test interface,
• a configuration memory, which stores a number of configurations for the configurable logic devices, which when loaded into one of the configurable logic devices, cause the respective configurable logic device to generate test signals for a specific communication partner of the mobile user equipment, and
• a configuration processor, which is configured to reconfigure at least one of the configurable logic devices based on one of the configurations,
• wherein each of the configurable logic devices comprises:
• a digital section, which comprises at least one transmit-receive unit, wherein the digital section is configured only once, and
• a configurable analogue and/or radio frequency, RF, section, and
• the configuration processor is configured to reconfigure the at least one of the configurable logic devices based on a configuration schedule,
• wherein the configurations cause the configurable logic device to generate test signals with predetermined different content, and
• wherein the digital section is permanently configured only once, and the configurable analogue and/or RF section is periodically configured based on one of the configurations.
