  • Publication number: 20190260482
    Abstract: The present invention provides a test arrangement and a test method for testing a device under test. The device under test may be tested by means of a test controller. Furthermore, a number of impairment devices are provided for applying impairments on a radio communication link of the device under test. The impairment devices may be controlled by an impairment controller. In this way, it is possible to apply impairments corresponding to impairments of a particular geographical area or a desired route, without moving the device under test to the respective geographical position. Accordingly, impairments of a particular geographical area can be applied without moving the test arrangement to the respective geographical area.

  • Patent number: 9858634
    Abstract: A testing device serves for the testing of a device under test. It comprises a control unit (12), a display unit and an operating unit. The control unit is embodied to implement a mutual signaling with the device under test, comprising signaling portions. The control unit (12) further contains a card-generating device (23) for generating cards for display by means of the display unit. In this context, the cards each correspond to a given signaling portion. Prompted by a user entry by means of the operating unit, the card-generating device (23) is also embodied to place cards on the display device in a sequence specified by a user and to specify a sequence of the signaling portions of the signaling to be implemented in this manner.
