  • Patent number: 11558131
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for measuring wireless performance of a receiver of a wireless terminal, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The method includes the following. A measured signal of a receiver to be measured is determined. Measured signals of other receivers except the receiver to be measured are zero. Multiple transmitted signals are determined based on the measured signals. The multiple transmitted signals are transmitted through multiple measurement antennas. When a bit error rate of the receiver to be measured does not equal a preset bit error rate, the measured signal is adjusted, determining the multiple transmitted signals based on the updated measured signal. When the bit error rate equals the preset error rate, a power of the measured signal is determined as the radiant sensitivity of the receiver to be measured.
