  • Patent number: 9991977
    Abstract: The invention is related to a smart testing apparatus and preferably a method for testing at least a first DUT and a second DUT using a mobile communications testing device. The method comprises the steps of determining, whether a first RF test signal from/to the first DUT interferes with a second RF test signal from/to the second DUT. It determines, whether the second RF test signal from/to second DUT interferes with the first RF test signal from/to the first DUT. It predetermines, whether at least measuring the first measuring result obtained by applying the first RF test signal is disturbed above a first disturbance threshold value. It predetermines, whether at least a second measuring result obtained by applying the second RF test signal is disturbed above a second disturbance threshold value.

  • Patent number: 9991624
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a modular plug connector comprising a metal housing and an insulating holding frame received therein. At least one plug connector module is received in the holding frame, comprises a metallic or at least electrically conductive material, and is electrically insulated from the housing by the holding frame. Furthermore, an earthing device, which bridges the holding frame and permits an electrical contact between the plug connector module and the metal housing, is provided on the plug connector module. This allows different plug connector modules to be held in the holding frame insulated from the housing, and at the same time others to be held in electrical contact with the housing.
