Patent ID: 8897341

Claim:
A method of testing a transceiver, comprising: transmitting a signal at a first time, wherein transmitting the signal at the first time comprises transmitting pulses during respective subintervals of a hop interval; receiving the signal at a second time, wherein receiving the signal at the second time comprises enabling the receiver for receiving the signal at the second time, wherein the second time is related to a selected one of the subintervals of the hop interval; generating samples of at least one of the pulses and noise during an entire duration of the hop interval; and determining an operating condition of the transceiver based on the first and second times, wherein the operating condition comprises a timing of enabling a transmitter of the transceiver for transmitting the signal or a timing of enabling a receiver of the transceiver for receiving the signal, wherein determining the timing of enabling the receiver comprises analyzing the samples to determine whether the at least one of the pulses was received during the selected subinterval of the hop interval.
