First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for measuring one or more properties of an output signal generated by a signal generator, comprising:
- generating a plurality of signals by the signal generator, a portion of said plurality of signals having at least one property that varies in value over a calibrated range of the signal generator;
receiving the portion of said plurality of signals from the signal generator for analysis; and
measuring the value of the at least one property for the received portion of said plurality of signals to produce a plurality of measured values.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for measuring one or more parameters of a signal generated by a signal generator. The method employs capturing and analyzing a train of data packets or other forms of signals from a single transmission to obtain measured values for the one or more parameters. The obtained measured values may be used in valuing a calibration of a signal generator or in verifying the already calibrated values of the signal generator. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the train of data packets contains packets having different properties.

15. A method for testing a data signal receiver supporting multiple data rates, comprising:
-
receiving by the data signal receiver a plurality of data signals, wherein at least first and second ones of a portion of the plurality of data signals have first and second ones respectively of at least two receiver-supported data rates;
determining from the received portion a total number of correctly received data signals; and
comparing the total number of correctly received data signals to a predetermined number. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
