The disclosure relates to an apparatus and method of testing timing associated with the transmission and reception of a pulse signal. With regard to testing the transmission of the signal, a transmitter transmits a pulse within a selected hop offset subinterval of a hop interval. The receiver takes samples of the received signal for the entire duration of the hop interval. Successful timing operation is indicated when samples indicate a pulse received within the selected subinterval, and no pulses received within other subintervals of the hop interval. With regard to testing the reception of the signal, a transmitter transmits pulses within respective hop offset subintervals of a hop interval. The receiver is enabled only for the duration of a selected subinterval, but samples are taken for the entire duration of the hop interval. Successful timing operation is indicated when the samples indicate a pulse received within the selected subinterval, and no pulses received within other subintervals.
