Method for testing a low power radio frequency (RF) data packet signal transceiver

A method for testing a radio frequency (RF) data packet signal transceiver device under test (DUT) including communicating via each one of a plurality of signal channels, comprising:

• transmitting, with said DUT via a first one of said plurality of signal channels, a first link initiation data packet;
• receiving, with said DUT and a first signal power via each one of said plurality of signal channels simultaneously, a first tester response data packet responsive to said first link initiation data packet;
• transmitting, with said DUT via a second one of said plurality of signal channels, a second link initiation data packet;
• receiving, with said DUT and a second signal power via each one of said plurality of signal channels simultaneously, a second tester response data packet responsive to said second link initiation data packet, wherein said first and second signal powers are unequal;
• and
• transmitting, with said DUT,
• via said first one of said plurality of signal channels, a DUT response data packet responsive to said first tester response data packet, or
• via said second one of said plurality of signal channels, a DUT response data packet responsive to said second tester response data packet.

• transmitting, with said DUT via a first one of said plurality of signal channels, a first link initiation data packet;
• receiving, with a tester, said first link initiation data packet and in response thereto transmitting, with a first signal power via each one of said plurality of signal channels simultaneously, a first tester response data packet;
• transmitting, with said DUT via a second one of said plurality of signal channels, a second link initiation data packet;
• receiving, with a tester, said second link initiation data packet and in response thereto transmitting, with a second signal power via each one of said plurality of signal channels simultaneously, a second tester response data packet, wherein said first and second signal powers are unequal;

• receiving, with said DUT via each one of said plurality of signal channels simultaneously,
• said first tester response data packet and in response thereto transmitting via said first one of said plurality of signal channels, a DUT response data packet, or
• said second tester response data packet and in response thereto transmitting via said second one of said plurality of signal channels, a DUT response data packet.
