  • Publication number: 20240154891
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for determining a size of a buffer of a device-under-test, DUT, which is transmitting data. The method comprises the steps of: transmitting a data stream with a transmitting bit rate by means of the DUT, wherein the data stream is loaded into the DUT buffer during said transmission; receiving the data stream with a receiving bit rate at a receiver device; detecting a difference between the transmitting bit rate and the receiving bit rate over time; monitoring a packet loss at the receiver side; detecting a time at which a packet error rate, PER, at the receiver side increases above a threshold based on the monitored packet loss; and calculating a size of the DUT buffer based on a difference between an amount of data transmitted by the DUT and an amount of data received by the receiver device from the start of the transmission until the detected time of the PER increase.

  • Publication number: 20240143019
    Abstract: A signal synthesizer circuit includes a clock source, a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) circuit, signal paths, and an output. The clock source generates or receives a clock signal having a predefined frequency. The DDS circuit generates a DDS signal. A first signal path is connected to the DDS circuit to receive the DDS signal and includes a multiplier circuit that multiplies a frequency of the DDS signal by a multiplication factor, obtaining a frequency-multiplied DDS signal. A second signal path is connected to the clock source to receive the clock signal and includes a mixer circuit that receives the clock signal and the frequency-multiplied DDS signal. The mixer circuit mixes the clock signal with the frequency-multiplied DDS signal, obtaining a mixed DDS signal. A frequency of the mixed DDS signal corresponds to the sum of frequencies of the clock signal and the frequency-multiplied DDS signal.
