Abstract:
A test apparatus and method of testing a DUT are described. The apparatus includes a receiver and transmitter path each having a pair of switches that switch between a bypass position and a direct position. The bypass position is used for low frequency signals communicated through the apparatus. The direct position allows higher frequency signals to be double converted by upconversion to an IF signal and bandpass filtered before being downconverted to a predetermined frequency. Both variable and fixed LO signals are used to convert the double converted signals so that the same IF may be used independent of the higher frequency signal received or transmitted. Bandpass filtering is applied before and after amplification of the IF signal. Lowpass filtering before and after the double conversion use LPFs of different cutoff frequencies.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus of a testing device, comprising:\n a receiver path of the testing device comprising:\n a pair of receiver switches, the receiver path configured to set the receiver switches in a receiver bypass position for reception of a signal from a device under test (DUT) of at most a first predetermined frequency and in a receiver direct position for reception of a signal of more than the first predetermined frequency; and \n first double conversion circuitry to which the signal of more than the first predetermined frequency is introduced and that is configured to convert the signal of more than the first predetermined frequency to a signal of the first predetermined frequency, the signal of the first predetermined frequency and the signal of at most the first predetermined frequency supplied to one of the receiver switches; and \n a transmitter path comprising a pair of transmitter switches in a transmitter bypass position for transmission of a signal to the DUT of at most the first predetermined frequency and in a transmitter direct position for transmission of a signal of more than the first predetermined frequency through second double conversion circuitry that is configured to convert the signal of more than the first predetermined frequency to the signal of the first predetermined frequency, the signal of at most the first predetermined frequency and the signal of more than the first predetermined frequency supplied to one of the transmitter switches.
