Patent ID: 8774024

Claim:
A method of testing a wireless data packet transceiver as a device under test (DUT) adapted to operate in conformance with a wireless signal standard such that a transmitted signal, when received by an intended receiver, is to result in a responsive signal transmission acknowledging such signal reception, comprising: transmitting a command signal for initiating a plurality of responsive data packet transmissions by said DUT in accordance with said wireless signal standard; capturing, following said transmitting of said command signal, a portion of said plurality of responsive data packet transmissions by said DUT in accordance with said wireless signal standard, wherein each one of said portion of said plurality of responsive data packet transmissions includes a valid data packet; refraining from transmitting a signal responsive to said capturing of said portion of said plurality of responsive data packet transmissions by said DUT; capturing, further following said transmitting of said command signal, one or more further portions of said plurality of responsive data packet transmissions by said DUT in accordance with said wireless signal standard, wherein each one of said one or more further portions of said plurality of responsive data packet transmissions includes a valid data packet selected based on data packet duration; and following said capturing of said one or more further portions of said plurality of responsive data packet transmissions by said DUT in accordance with said wireless signal standard, transmitting a signal acknowledging such capturing, thereby capturing, in response to said command signal, multiple portions of said plurality of responsive data packet transmissions by said DUT in accordance with said wireless signal standard, wherein said DUT transmits at least said multiple portions of said plurality of responsive data packet transmissions at a plurality of data rates.
