Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for injecting in-process agents into processes executing self-contained, statically linked binaries that do not interact with a dynamic loader mechanism that identifies and resolves required libraries at run time. System calls directed to the execution of binaries in processes are intercepted and the targeted binary is analyzed to determine whether it is statically linked. In case a statically linked binary is identified, a proxy launcher process is started instead of the binary which starts the original binary as traceable child process. After the child process has loaded the original binary into its process memory, the memory image of the child process is copied to the launcher process and the child process is terminated. An agent is loaded into the launcher process to instruments the copied memory image.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an RF receiver includes generating of a digital test signal based on a signal, wherein the digital test signal includes a stream of digital test samples having a digital test sample; generating a monitoring signal based on the digital test signal; and coupling of the monitoring signal into a receiver path. The monitoring signal is processed in the receiver path to generate a processed monitoring signal and a stream of digital monitoring samples representing the processed monitoring signal. Information is determined indicating at least one property related to the receiver path based on a processing of a set of digital monitoring samples of the stream of digital monitoring samples. The set of digital monitoring samples includes a digital monitoring sample. The method further includes controlling the RF receiver such that the digital monitoring sample is generated a predetermined time duration after generating the digital test sample.

Abstract: Noise test systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for determining a noise characteristic of a receiver. In one example, an integrated circuit device includes an active RF receiver element configured to process a radio frequency (RF) signal to generate a receiver signal; an up-conversion mixer configured to up-convert a test signal to generate an RF test signal; an attenuator configured to selectively adjust a power of the RF test signal to generate adjusted RF test signals; and a coupler configured to couple the adjusted RF test signals to an input of the active RF receiver element. In another example, instead of or in addition to the attenuator, the integrated circuit device includes first, second, and third power sensors configured to measure a power of the test signal, the RF test signal, and the receiver signal, respectively. The power measurements are used to determine the noise characteristic.
