According to a study from the United States, "Due to the increasing complexity of radio-frequency circuits, their testing becomes more challenging. A large number of performance parameters under several operation conditions are needed in order to ensure compliance to specifications."
"In this paper, we present a low-cost test methodology that determines significant performance parameters, such as path gain IIP3, quadrature imbalances, noise, bit error rate, and error vector magnitude through a single test setup. The proposed test methodology is applicable for both single-carrier and multicarrier systems. Simulation and measurement results indicate that these ...
