Patent ID: 8843126

Claim:
A system for performing isolation testing of radio frequency (RF) transmission and receiving systems, comprising: a programmable device for generating a test signal indicative of a RF signal and for receiving a processed test signal indicative of said test signal after processing thereof by one of a RF transmission system and a RF receiving system adapted to be coupled to said programmable device, said programmable device performing a comparison between said processed test signal and calibration data, and said programmable device generating a report based on said comparison; and a hardwire signal router adapted to provide said test signal to one of the RF transmission system and the RF receiving system, said router further adapted to provide said processed test signal to said programmable device, said router including a first switching mechanism and a second switching mechanism operating in a coordinated fashion to define one of a first state and a second state, said first state defined when (i) said first switching mechanism is adapted to direct said test signal to an input of the RF transmission system wherein the RF transmission system generates said processed test signal, and (ii) said second switching mechanism is adapted to direct said processed test signal so-generated by the RF transmission system to said programmable device, and said second state defined when (i) said second switching mechanism is adapted to direct said test signal to an input of the RF receiving system wherein the RF receiving system generates said processed test signal, and (ii) said first switching mechanism is adapted to direct said processed test signal so-generated by the RF receiving system to said programmable device.
