Abstract: System and method for implementing a time-switched MIMO signal analysis using a single RF signal receiver to capture the multiple incoming data packet signals. In accordance with example embodiments, like portions of repetitive data slots may be captured with a periodicity equal to that of their host repetitive data frames.

Abstract: A system and method of providing driver software to a test controller to facilitate testing by a wireless transceiver tester of a device under test (DUT). Using the wireless transceiver tester, executable tester instructions are accessed from one or more computer readable media and in accordance therewith bi-directional signal communications are established between the wireless transceiver tester and the test controller, and between the wireless transceiver tester and the DUT. Further accessed are executable driver instructions, including a plurality of executable driver program instructions for driving at least one of the wireless transceiver tester and the DUT, which are communicated to the test controller.

Abstract: A window error detector for a receiver capable of operating in a discontinuous transmit mode includes a soft decision decoder (210) producing soft output and generating window error signals. A detector (214) is coupled to the soft decision decoder for detecting a bad frame when the window error exceeds a bad frame threshold, wherein the threshold is altered based on the discontinuous transmit state. A turbo decoder (210) for a receiver includes a soft decision decoder and a window error detector (214) coupled to the soft decision decoder. The window error detector generates a bad frame indication. The turbo decoder stops iterative processing of the data associated with a window when the window error detector detects that the window does not result in a bad frame indication.

Abstract: An error detector circuit (300) for a discrete receiver indicates bad frames of binary information signals which contain distorted bits of data in numbers so great as to prevent a convolutional decoder (738) from generating, accurately, a decoded signal. A variable threshold generator (440) generates a variable threshold level according to the signal quality estimate for the received signal. When bit errors are detected in numbers beyond the variable threshold or when a first preselected value of the signal quality of a received signal combined with the detected number of bit errors forms a signal beyond a second preselected value, a bad frame is indicated.
