  • Publication number: 20130311977
    Abstract: An electronic arrangement for analyzing a model-based testing scenario relating to a system under test (SUT), includes a model handler entity for obtaining and managing model data indicative of a model intended to exhibit the behavior of the SUT, a test plan handler entity for obtaining and managing test plan data indicative of a number of test cases relating to the model and expected outcome thereof, a test execution log handler entity for obtaining and managing test execution log data indicative of the execution of the test cases by the test executor and/or SUT, a communications log handler entity for obtaining and managing communications log data indicative of message traffic between the test executor entity and SUT, and an analyzer entity for detecting a number of failures and their causes in the model-based testing scenario on the basis of model, test plan, test execution log and communications log data.

  • Patent number: 6614299
    Abstract: A method and system to balance a signal through a plurality of parallel amplifier elements of an amplifier device. An input signal to the amplifier device is divided substantially equally among a plurality of parallel amplifier elements. A signal through each of the amplifier elements is measured. If any of the measured signals deviates by a predetermined threshold from a reference signal, an adjustment to an input parameter to a tuning circuit associated with the particular amplifier element is determined. The determined adjustment is applied to the particular a tuning circuit to appropriately adjust the output of the deviating amplifier element. The output of the plurality of amplifier elements is combined as the total output of the amplifier device.

  • Patent number: 6304145
    Abstract: A power amplifier to process an input signal includes an amplifying device operating at a quiescent point and a bias network that varies the quiescent point according to a frequency of the input signal. In a variant of this power amplifier, the bias network includes a compensation circuit to provide a bias signal that varies according to a frequency of the input signal and a bias circuit to vary the quiescent point according to the bias signal. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a method of making a power amplifier includes steps of measuring a gain performance of an amplifying device at a plurality of frequencies, determining a desired quiescent point of the amplifying device at each frequency of the plurality of frequencies, and constructing a bias network that varies an operating quiescent point of the amplifying device according to a frequency of the input signal so that the operating quiescent point approximates the desired quiescent point at each frequency of the plurality of frequencies.
