Abstract:
1. A test system for testing electronic surveillance monitoring systems, comprising: an antenna-containing structure including an antenna radome, at least one RF chain including an antenna, an amplifier and a signal processing element arranged to receive signals from said antenna through said amplifier, said antenna and said amplifier being housed in said antenna radome; a test signal generating arrangement at least partially arranged in said antenna-containing structure for generating test signals; a switching arrangement arranged in said antenna-containing structure for selectively enabling signals received by said antenna of said at least one RF chain to be directed to said signal processing element of said at least one RF chain and enabling test signals generated by said test signal generating arrangement to be injected into said at least one RF chain at a location within said antenna radome; and a control system coupled to said test signal generating arrangement and said switching arrangement for controlling said test signal generating arrangement and said switching arrangement to cause test signals from said test signal generating arrangement to be injected into said at least one RF chain at the location within said antenna radome.
