Abstract
A communications apparatus includes a hardware subsystem including a test signal control component, a duplexer component, and Radio Frequency processing components. The Radio Frequency processing components include a transmitter chain portion and a receiver chain portion having a signal sensitivity threshold associated therewith, to a receive side port of the duplexer component. The test signal control component is arranged to cooperate with the transmitter chain to generate a test signal. A portion of the test signal control component is leaked by the duplexer component. The test signal control component is also configured to ensure that any irradiated power of the test signal complies with the transmit OFF power threshold requirement and the portion of the test signal leaked is above the signal sensitivity threshold of the receiver chain portion.
