The OFDM symbols are multiplexed onto time slots used for OFDM, and the waveforms for the second radio technology are multiplexed onto time slots used for this radio technology. One or multiple modulated signals may be generated based on the multiplexed OFDM symbols and waveforms. Each modulated signal is transmitted from a respective antenna.

Abstract: A signal electrode (11A) and a ground electrode (11B) are disposed respectively on surfaces of a case (10). In this way, the signal electrode (11A) and the ground electrode (11B) do not come into contact with any electric component, such as a transmission circuit (21), disposed inside the case (10), and thus a reduction in an electric field (Ec) induced in an electric-field transmission medium can be prevented. In addition, a certain distance between the signal electrode (11A) and the ground electrode (11B) is kept, and thus a reduction in the electric field (Ec) induced in the electric-field transmission medium can be prevented. Furthermore, the contactability between the signal electrode (11A) and the electric-field transmission medium is improved, and thus the electric field (Ec) induced in the electric-field transmission medium can be increased.

Abstract: Calibration equipment for calibrating multiple test stations in a test system is provided. Each test station may include a test unit, a test chamber with an over-the-air (OTA) antenna, and a radio-frequency (RF) cable that connects the test unit to the test chamber. Reference devices under test (DUTs) may be used to calibrate the OTA path loss of each test station at desired frequencies. Once calibrated, the test chambers may be used during production testing to test factory DUTs to determine whether a particular production DUT is a passing or failing DUT according to pass/fail criteria. A running average path loss value may be constantly updated based on path loss values measured using the reference DUTs and the passing production DUTs. Dynamically updating the path loss value using this statistical approach can properly track the behavior of each test station as operating conditions shift over time.

Abstract: A controller 20 transmits a unique ID to a console main unit 10 when starting communication with said console main unit 10. The console main unit 10 determines whether the received unique ID has already been registered in a wired controller No. registration table, and when it has already been registered, sets already registered correspondence for corresponding a virtual controller No., a wired controller No., and the unique ID. Otherwise, if it is not yet registered, a wired controller No. and the unique ID are corresponded, and new registration and correspondence setting for corresponding them to a virtual controller No. is conducted. The virtual controller No. corresponded to the unique ID is associated to predetermined information processing if the already registered correspondence setting or new registration and correspondence setting is completed.
