Abstract: A receiver path for a measurement device is provided. Said receiver path comprises a radio frequency input path for inputting a radio frequency input signal, a mixer for generating an intermediate frequency signal by mixing the radio frequency input signal with a local oscillator signal, and an intermediate frequency signal carrying path for carrying the intermediate frequency signal. In this context, the intermediate frequency signal carrying path comprises a voltage variable attenuator.

Abstract: A method of error vector magnitude, EVM, minimization for a radio frequency, RF, measurement equipment is provided. The method comprises: measuring the EVM of a receive, RX, chain of the RF measurement equipment in accordance with a transmit, TX, feedback signal; and responsive to a trigger event, actuating one or more power-adjusting members interposed in the RX chain in accordance with the measured EVM of the RX chain. Among others, the RF measurement equipment is thereby consistently operated based on optimal power levels in the RX chain.
