Abstract
Multiple cellular phones are connected to a test component by separate RF connections. The test component may be implemented within a test station or as a discrete test module. Each cell phone is assigned a unique channel or channels to communicate with the test component at or near the same time as the other cellular phones. The test component includes a channelized test circuit for testing the multiple cellular phones. Each cell phone may receive one or more signals from the test circuit or transmit a signal or signals to the test circuit using a respective assigned channel or channels. One or more compensation values may be used to compensate for losses incurred in each signal transmitted over the RF connections.
Claims18
A system for testing multiple cellular phones, comprising:
- a test component including one or more channelized test circuits for testing the multiple cellular phones;
- and
- a separate RF connection between the test component and each cellular phone, wherein one or more unique channels are assigned to each cellular phone.
A method for testing two or more cellular phones, comprising:
- assigning to each cellular phone one or more unique channels;
- transmitting a composite RF signal;
- and
- transmitting the composite RF signal to each cellular phone.
A method for testing two or more cellular phones, comprising:
- assigning to each cellular phone one or more unique channels;
- transmitting an RF signal from each cellular phone using a respective assigned one or more unique channels;
- receiving a composite RF signal comprised of the RF signals transmitted by the two or more cellular phones;
- and
- selecting one or more RF signals from the composite RF signal.
