Abstract
A measurement device is provided. Said measurement device comprises a plurality of ports for receiving and/or transmitting radio frequency signals, a plurality of measurement units with one measurement unit for each of the plurality of ports, each measurement unit being configured to measure the corresponding forward and/or reverse radio frequency signal, and a subset of additional measurement units, preferably one additional measurement unit, configured to be connected to a subset, preferably one, of the ports in addition to or instead of the respective at least one of the plurality of measurement units.
Claims15
A measurement device comprising:
- a plurality of ports for receiving and/or transmitting radio frequency signals,
- a plurality of measurement units with one measurement unit for each of the plurality of ports, each measurement unit being configured to measure the corresponding forward and/or reverse radio frequency signal, and
- a subset of additional measurement units configured to be connected to a subset of the ports in addition to or instead of the respective at least one of the plurality of measurement units,
- wherein the subset of additional measurement units is configured to be operated in a frequency range different than the plurality of the measurement units.
A method for operating a measurement device, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving and/or transmitting radio frequency signals with the aid of a plurality of ports of the measurement device,
- measuring the corresponding forward and/or reverse radio frequency signal with the aid of a plurality of measurement units of the measurement device with one measurement unit for each of the plurality of ports, and
- connecting a subset of additional measurement units of the measurement device to a subset of the ports in addition to or instead of the respective at least one of the plurality of measurement units,
- wherein the subset of additional measurement units is configured to be operated in a frequency range different than the plurality of the measurement units.
