Patent number: 9319154Abstract: Methods for testing multiple data packet signal transceiver devices under test (DUTs) with a shared tester. The DUTs transmit their data packet signals until predetermined numbers of data packets have been transmitted or predetermined time intervals expire, following which, each DUT awaits a synchronization request to begin transmitting data packets to the tester. Alternatively, the tester determines when its receiver is available for receiving data packets, following which, synchronization requests are sent to respective DUTs to initiate their transmissions of data packets to the tester. Further alternatively, power levels among data packets initially transmitted from the DUTs are monitored to determine when they are indicative of them having settled. As each DUT data packet signal power settles, a status signal indicating the settled nature of each DUT is provided to the tester which then begins receiving the respective DUT data packet signals, as they settle in power, for analysis.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: LITEPOINT CORPORATIONInventor: Christian Volf Olgaard
