1. A method comprising:
- recording performance data in a system, the performance data associated with a radio signal received by a broadcast receiver coupled to the system;
recording global positioning system (GPS) data in the system, the GPS data obtained from a GPS receiver co-located with the broadcast receiver; and
processing the performance data and the GPS data to map the performance data with the GPS data to indicate at least a location of the broadcast receiver and a corresponding receiver performance metric.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for performing testing of a receiver is provided. The method may include recording performance data associated with a radio signal received by a receiver, and recording global positioning system (GPS) data, where the GPS data is obtained from a GPS receiver co-located with the receiver. Then this data may be processed to map the performance data with the GPS data to indicate at least a location of the receiver and a corresponding receiver performance metric.

10. A system comprising:
-
a receiver to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal and to convert the RF signal into a demodulated signal and to generate performance data regarding the RF signal; a global positioning system (GPS) receiver to receive a GPS signal and to generate GPS data therefrom; and a computer system coupled to the receiver and the GPS receiver to receive the performance data and the GPS data obtained during traversal of a route on which the receiver and the GPS receiver travel and to process the performance data and the GPS data to map the performance data with the GPS data to indicate at least a location of the receiver and a corresponding receiver performance metric. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
a processor to execute instructions; a storage medium including instructions that enable the system to receive performance data associated with a radio frequency (RF) signal received in a receiver coupled to the system and global positioning system (GPS) data received in a GPS receiver coupled to the system for traversal of a route on which the receiver and the GPS receiver travel, associate the performance data with the GPS data, generate a file including a plurality of entries each including the GPS data and the performance data for a data acquisition point along the route, and enable display of the route and selectable markers along the route, each of the selectable markers corresponding to a data acquisition point; and a display to display the route and the selectable markers. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
