A measuring device comprises a control unit, a display unit and an input unit. The control unit is configured to control the display unit to display a first content in a first display area and a second content in a second display area. The input unit is configured to allow a user to select one of the first display area, the second display area and no display area. The control unit is then configured to display the first content at least partially transparent, when the first display area is selected, and to display the second content at least partially transparent, when the second display area is selected.

An apparatus for testing the beamforming behavior of a device under test comprises: at least two over-the-air power sensors. Each over-the-air sensor is adapted to measure the power received from the device under test over the air, which leads to at least two respective measurement results. The apparatus also comprises an evaluation unit, which is connected to each of the at least two over-the-air power sensors, and is adapted to receive and to evaluate the at least two respective measurement results.

Apparatus and method for testing beamforming behavior

A measuring system for measuring a communications device comprising an antenna-array. The measuring system comprises a controller, a measuring device, a measuring antenna and a device mount. The measuring device performs measurements with regard to the communications device. The device mount rotates the communications device about at least one axis. The controller sets a maximum gain direction of the antenna-array. The controller (i) controls the device mount to rotate the communications device, compensating for the set maximum gain direction, until the set maximum gain direction meets a direction of the measuring antenna with respect to the communications device, and (ii) determines an actual maximum gain direction of the antenna-array by iteratively rotating the communications device and determining a respective gain for each iteration, and determines the actual maximum gain direction as a rotation of the device mount that corresponds to the iteration of maximal gain.

A measuring device comprises a control unit, a measuring unit, a display unit and an input unit. The measuring unit comprises a plurality of functional units and a connection unit configured for selectively connecting the plurality of functional units. The control unit is configured to control the display unit to display a plurality of function blocks each corresponding to at least one functional unit. The input unit is configured to allow a user to select one of the plurality of function blocks. The control unit is configured, after a function block is selected by the user, to control the display unit to display possible connections of the selected function block to further function blocks.

Measuring device and measuring method with interactive operation

A method for determining a channel quality for the transmission of data in the channel by a test device. The test device transmits the data with the determined channel quality to a device to be tested which determines one or more pieces of decision information. The device to be tested forwards the piece(s) of decision information to the test device as a response signal and the test device reads the piece(s) of decision information from the response signal. The piece(s) of decision information from the response signal is/are uniquely attributed to a transmission mode to be adjusted. The initially determined channel quality is also uniquely attributed to an expected transmission mode. The expected transmission mode is compared with the transmission mode to be adjusted in a comparative unit in the evaluation unit, thereby allowing a statement regarding the correctness of the transmission mode to be adjusted.

Method for testing the transmission modes of a radio device

A method for testing transmission modes of a wireless communication device. According to the method, a switching range is determined in a parameter space in a test device. The parameter of the parameter space describes the quality of transmission and influences a recommendation for a transmission mode to be adjusted in a device to be tested. The switching range is a subspace of the parameter space and contains at least one switching limit for the recommendation for the subsequent transmission mode to be adjusted. In a further step, random parameter points from the switching range are generated depending on a probability distribution which is defined for the switching range. A signal is generated for every parameter point and has a transmission mode determined by the parameter point and is transmitted to the device to be tested. The device to be tested then transmits one response signal per received signal to the test device, the response signal containing a recommendation for a subsequent transmission mode to be adjusted. All recommendations from all received response signals are evaluated in the test device.

Method for testing transmission modes of a wireless communication device

A method, a signal generator, an appliance for a mobile radio system, and a measurement system are provided. First of all, a signal generator generates signal data. The signal data are used to generate a signal which is sent to the appliance which is to be tested. The appliance which is to be tested receives the signal and evaluates it. The evaluation of the received signal is taken as a basis for generating a response signal, wherein the response signal has an envelope which is characteristic of the information which is to be returned. This characteristic envelope is measured and a measurement signal which is representative thereof is generated. The measurement signal is supplied to a correlator in the signal generator and is compared with a comparison signal stored in the signal generator.

A signal generator includes a baseband unit, generating a digital, and an I/Q modulator, modulating the digital baseband signal. A storing memory stores a time slot of said digital baseband signal and an optical display unit represents the digital baseband signal stored in said memory according to a predetermined representation mode.

Signal generator with display unit

A measuring device, in particular a signal generator, comprises several functional units which may be connected to each other in various combinations, a control device which determines the connection and functions of the functional unites, and optical display device. The functional units are symbolized by function blocks which may be represented on the display device and graphically connected by connection elements. The control device controls the display device so that the functional blocks are graphically connected to each other correspondingly to the actual connection of the functional units by the connection elements.
