Abstract
A test and/or measurement system for testing a device under test is described. The test and/or measurement system includes at least a first port and a second port for connecting the device under test. The test and/or measurement system also includes four measurement modules that each have a high dynamic analog-to-digital converter. At least one of the first to fourth measurement modules additionally includes a high bandwidth analog-to-digital converter. This measurement module is configured to selectively connect the high dynamic analog-to-digital converter or the high bandwidth analog-to-digital converter to a respective output of a corresponding directive device to which the measurement module is connected.
Claims20
A test and/or measurement system for testing a device under test, wherein the test and/or measurement system comprises:
- at least a first port and a second port for connecting the device under test;
- a first measurement path that is connected to the first port, wherein a first directive device is incorporated within the first measurement path, wherein the first directive device comprises a first output and a second output, wherein the first directive device is configured to output via the first output a radio frequency signal which travels on the first measurement path towards the first port, and wherein the first directive device is configured to output via the second output a radio frequency signal which travels on the first measurement path away from the first port;
- a second measurement path that is connected to the second port, wherein a second directive device is incorporated within the second measurement path, wherein the second directive device comprises a first output and a second output, wherein the second directive device is configured to output via the first output a radio frequency signal which travels on the second measurement path towards the second port, and wherein the second directive device is configured to output via the second output a radio frequency signal which travels on the second measurement path away from the second port;
- a first measurement module, a second measurement module, a third measurement module, and a fourth measurement module,
- wherein the first output of the first directive device is connected to the first measurement module,
- wherein the second output of the first directive device is connected to the second measurement module,
- wherein the first output of the second directive device is connected to the third measurement module,
- wherein the second output of the second directive device is connected to the fourth measurement module,
- wherein the first measurement module, the second measurement module, the third measurement module, and the fourth measurement module each comprise a high dynamic analog-to-digital converter,
- wherein at least one specific measurement module of the first to fourth measurement modules additionally comprises a high bandwidth analog-to-digital converter, and
- wherein the at least one specific measurement module is configured to selectively connect the high dynamic analog-to-digital converter or the high bandwidth analog-to-digital converter to the respective output of the corresponding directive device.
