Abstract:
A test instrument measures performance of a transponder without direct access to a line interface of the transponder. The test instrument learns parameters of internal signal conversion processes of the transponder and measures performance of the transponder based on the learned parameters.

Claim (Index 1):
A test instrument connectable to a device under test (DUT) for causing the DUT to transmit a predetermined modulation test pattern signal, the test instrument comprising:\n a test instrument host interface to couple to a data interface of the DUT; a test pattern generator to generate transmit non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signals and to communicate the transmit NRZ signals to the DUT via the test instrument host interface, and to receive return NRZ signals from the DUT via the host interface, wherein the DUT is to receive the transmit NRZ signals, and convert the transmit NRZ signals to modulation signals for transmission via a line interface of the DUT, and the DUT is to receive, via the line interface, signals responsive to the transmitted modulation signals and convert the received signals to the return NRZ signals; and a test pattern analyzer to\n receive the return NRZ signals from the DUT via the test instrument host interface, and \n determine, based on the transmit NRZ signals and the return NRZ signals, at least one signal conversion performed internal to the DUT to convert the transmit NRZ signals to the modulation signals and to convert the received signals to the return NRZ signals, \n wherein the test pattern generator is to modify a predetermined modulation test pattern according to the at least one signal conversion, and transmit the modified test pattern signal to the DUT, and the DUT internally performs the at least one signal conversion on the modified test pattern signal to cause the predetermined modulation test pattern to be transmitted via the line interface of the DUT.
