Error vector magnitude exclusion period for establishing compliance of user equipment with a transient period

Abstract

Apparatus and methods for testing error vector magnitude (EVM) exclusion periods are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a method includes transmitting a first symbol with a first resource block allocation using a transmit chain of a mobile device and transmitting a second symbol with a second resource block allocation different than the first resource block allocation using the transmit chain, the first symbol and the second symbol having a power transient separated by a transient period. The method further includes establishing that the mobile device complies with a transient period specification based on obtaining a first error vector magnitude measurement and a second error vector magnitude measurement when the mobile device is transmitting a symbol sequence that includes the first symbol and the second symbol, the second error vector magnitude measurement delayed from the first error vector magnitude measurement by an error vector measurement exclusion period.
