Abstract
Method for testing a radio frequency (RF) data packet signal transceiver device under test (DUT) including detecting transitions between RF data packet signal transmission and reception by the DUT, detecting transitions between different RF data packet signal transmission operations by the DUT, and detecting transitions between different RF data packet signal reception operations by the DUT.
Claims21
A method for testing a radio frequency (RF) data packet signal transceiver device under test (DUT) including detecting a transition between RF data packet signal transmission and reception by said DUT, comprising:
- receiving, with a tester from a DUT, a first DUT data packet signal including earlier and later portions of a first plurality of DUT data packets;
- capturing, with said tester, one or more DUT data packets among said later portion of said first plurality of DUT data packets, followed by
- transmitting, from said tester, a tester data packet signal including a plurality of tester data packets with alternating portions having respective durations of mutually higher and lower nominal transmitted tester data packet signal powers, and
- receiving, with said tester from said DUT, a second DUT data packet signal including a second plurality of DUT data packets with alternating portions related to respective ones of said alternating portions of said plurality of tester data packets;
- and
- terminating said transmitting of said tester data packet signal, followed by receiving, with said tester from said DUT, a third DUT data packet signal including a third plurality of DUT data packets.
A method for testing a radio frequency (RF) data packet signal transceiver device under test (DUT) including detecting a transition between RF data packet signal transmission operations by said DUT, comprising:
- receiving, with a tester from a DUT, a first DUT data packet signal including earlier and later portions of a first plurality of DUT data packets;
- capturing, with said tester, one or more DUT data packets among said later portion of said first plurality of DUT data packets;
- receiving, with said tester from said DUT, a second DUT data packet signal subsequent to said first DUT data packet signal and including earlier and later portions of a second plurality of DUT data packets;
- and
- capturing, with said tester, one or more DUT data packets among said later portion of said second plurality of DUT data packets.
A method for testing a radio frequency (RF) data packet signal transceiver device under test (DUT) including detecting a transition between RF data packet signal reception operations by said DUT, comprising:
- transmitting, from said tester, a first tester data packet signal including a first plurality of tester data packets with alternating portions having respective durations of mutually higher and lower nominal transmitted tester data packet signal powers;
- receiving, with said tester from a DUT, a first DUT data packet signal including a first plurality of DUT data packets with alternating portions related to respective ones of said alternating portions of said first plurality of tester data packets;
- detecting a cessation of said first DUT data packet signal, followed by terminating said transmitting of said first tester data packet signal;
- transmitting, from said tester, a second tester data packet signal subsequent to said first tester data packet signal and including a second plurality of tester data packets with alternating portions having respective durations of mutually higher and lower nominal transmitted tester data packet signal powers;
- and
- receiving, with said tester from said DUT, a first DUT data packet signal including a first plurality of DUT data packets with alternating portions related to respective ones of said alternating portions of said first plurality of tester data packets.
