Concurrent Testing of Multiple Communication Devices

A computer accessible memory medium comprising program instructions for testing a plurality of communication devices, wherein the program instructions are executable by a processor to implement:

• receiving a plurality of signals from the plurality of communication devices, the plurality of signals comprising a signal from each of the plurality of communication devices, wherein a first subset of the plurality of signals has a different frequency than a second subset of the plurality of signals, wherein the plurality of signals are received concurrently;
• combining the received signals into a combined signal;
• downconverting the combined signal to a combined signal, wherein said downconverting comprises mixing the combined signal with an output from at least one local oscillator, wherein said downconverting generates a plurality of lower frequency signals, each of the plurality of lower frequency signals corresponding to one of the plurality of received signals;
• and
• performing testing on each of the plurality of lower frequency signals, wherein said testing on each of the plurality of lower frequency signals is performed concurrently.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory medium coupled to the processor, wherein the memory medium comprises program instructions for testing a plurality of communication devices, wherein the program instructions are executable by the processor to implement:
• receiving a plurality of signals from the plurality of communication devices, the plurality of signals comprising a signal from each of the plurality of communication devices, wherein a first subset of the plurality of signals has a different frequency than a second subset of the plurality of signals, wherein the plurality of signals are received concurrently;
• combining the received signals into a combined signal;
• downconverting the combined signal to a combined signal, wherein said downconverting comprises mixing the combined signal with an output from at least one local oscillator, wherein said downconverting generates a plurality of lower frequency signals, each of the plurality of lower frequency signals corresponding to one of the plurality of received signals;
• and
• performing testing on each of the plurality of lower frequency signals, wherein said testing on each of the plurality of lower frequency signals is performed concurrently.
