System and method for signal timing error correction

A method for signal timing error correction, comprising:

• receiving a repetitive challenge signal from a device-under-test, DUT, with a receiver;
• in response to the reception of the challenge signal, triggering a signal generator to generate a response signal;
• receiving the response signal with the receiver,
• calculating a response time between the reception of the challenge signal and the reception of the response signal by the receiver;
• comparing the calculated response time to a target response time;
• generating a repetitive reply signal to the challenge signal and forwarding the reply signal to the DUT;
• and
• applying a time offset to said reply signal based on the comparison of the calculated response time to the target response time.

A system for signal timing error correction, comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive a repetitive challenge signal from a device-under-test, DUT;
• and
• a signal generator;
• wherein, in response to the reception of the challenge signal, the receiver is configured to trigger the signal generator to generate a response signal;
• wherein the receiver is configured to receive the response signal;
• wherein the system further comprises a controller configured to calculate a response time between the reception of the challenge signal and the reception of the response signal by the receiver;
• wherein the controller is configured to compare the calculated response time to a target response time;
• wherein the signal generator is configured to generate a repetitive reply signal to the challenge signal and to forward the reply signal to the DUT;
• and
• wherein the system comprises a communication interface configured to forward information derived from the comparison of the calculated response time to the target response time to the DUT.
