  • Patent number: 7907748
    Abstract: The test system includes an electronic device comprising a camera for forming an image on a detector. A holographic element of the test system and the camera under test of the electronic device are arranged during testing to be placed at a predetermined distance from one another where the holographic element is unfocused in the image field of the camera under test, and the holographic element comprises a holographic test image that is arranged to form a focused image on the detector of the camera operating as desired.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070290691
    Abstract: A method of characterizing an electric circuit of an electric device, a system, an electric device and a test device are provided. The system includes: a signal generator for generating a test signal having a radio frequency band spanning at least a portion of a frequency response range of the electric circuit; a load modulator for modulating the load with the test signal, thus generating a response signal in the electric circuit; and a correlator for generating cross-correlation between the response signal and the test signal.

  • Patent number: 7162207
    Abstract: A system, apparatuses, a method, and a computer program for producing signals for testing radio frequency communication devices are provided. The system comprises a non-real-time domain which includes a data generator for supplying a temporally discontinuous data stream which data stream includes signal waveform data and control data defining characteristics of a conversion from the signal waveform data into a radio frequency test signal. The temporally discontinuous data stream is fed into a transformer which transforms the temporally discontinuous data stream into a temporally continuous data stream, thus providing a transformation between the non-real-time domain and a real-time domain. The real-time domain includes a radio frequency unit which uses the temporally continuous signal data stream as input, and performs the conversion from the signal waveform data into the radio frequency test signal according to the control data.

  • Publication number: 20050046430
    Abstract: An RF testing method and arrangement of an electronic device utilize sensors for measuring the electronic device under test in conjunction with production of the electronic devices. A comparator performs a comparison between measurement signals and corresponding reference signals from a reference supply and a decision unit determines defectiveness of the electronic device based on the comparison.
