Abstract
An ultra high frequency transceiver which transmits a modulated carrier wave and mixes a received signal with a locally generated signal to produce an intermediate frequency signal is tested by using the same transmitter as used during normal transceiver operation and by modulating the carrier with a wave having sudden transitions. A portion of the transmitted wave is reflected back to a receiver segment of the transmitter to produce an i.f. signal that is detected by a demodulator. Each transition causes the demodulator to detect a pulse signal. In response to the pulse signal being detected and not being detected during a testing interval, indications are derived to signal that the transceiver is and is not operating properly, respectively.
