Patent ID: 8885483

Claim:
An apparatus including a test system for testing data packet reception of a data packet signal transceiver, comprising: a signal path with first and second signal path connections for conveying first and second data packet signals, including at least first and second data packet signal portions, respectively, wherein said first data packet signal is from a reference data packet signal transceiver for conveyance from said first signal path connection to said second signal path connection, and said second data packet signal is from a data packet signal transceiver device under test (DUT) for conveyance from said second signal path connection to said first signal path connection; data packet signal detection circuitry coupled to said second signal path connection and responsive to said first and second data packet signals by providing at least one or more DUT packet measurement signals indicative of at least one of a magnitude, start time and end time of each of said first and second data packet signal portions at said second signal path connection; and control circuitry coupled to said data packet signal detection circuitry and responsive to said one or more DUT packet measurement signals and to one or more reference packet measurement signals indicative of at least one of a magnitude, start time and end time of at least said first data packet signal portion at said first signal path connection by providing one or more control signals corresponding to at least one of said first and second data packet signal portions at said second signal path connection.
