Breakout test box for monitoring signal integrity in a modular base station
First Claim
1. For use in a wireless network base station comprising a non-radio unit capable of processing baseband signals and a radio unit separate from said non-radio unit capable of transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) signals, a test apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
a first connector associated with said housing and capable of being coupled to a first cable coupled to said radio unit, wherein said first cable comprises a first plurality of signal lines carrying a plurality of base station signals between said radio unit and said non-radio unit;
a second connector associated with said housing and capable of being coupled to a second cable coupled to said non-radio unit, wherein said second cable comprises a second plurality of signal lines carrying said plurality of base station signals between said radio unit and said non-radio unit; and
a first access connector capable of allowing a signal measuring device to monitor at least one of said plurality of base station signals.
