Apparatus, system and method for calibrating and verifying a wireless communication device
First Claim
1. An apparatus for testing circuitry of a wireless communication device, comprising:
- a receiver that is operative to receive at least one test packet transmitted from said wireless communication device;
a capture module that is operative to capture, for later analysis, a respective single portion only of each one of said at least one test packet;
a control module that is operative to selectively control said capture module to capture at least said portion based on a predetermined test flow; and
a device under test (DUI) that includesa transmitter that is operative to transmit said at least one test packet, anda second control module that is operative to periodically adjust a transmission characteristic of said transmitter from a first transmission characteristic to a second transmission characteristic based on said predetermined test flow and to control said transmitter to transmit said at least one test packet based on said predetermined test flow.

Abstract
An apparatus for testing a wireless communication device includes a receiver, a capture module, and a control module. The receiver receives at least one test packet transmitted from the wireless communication device. The capture module captures at least a portion of the at least one test packet. The control module selectively controls the capture module to capture at least the portion based on a predetermined test flow. In one example, the at least one test packet is transmitted by the wireless communication device according to the predetermined test flow. In one example, control module selectively controls the capture module to capture at least the portion based on an expected calibration value associated with the at least one test packet. In one example, the control module selectively controls the capture module to capture at least the portion based on a predetermined value of interest.
