Abstract

A device for simulating a data transmission via a data transmission network, especially in a motor vehicle, for evaluating the transmission quality via the network as a function of an interference environment and of a channel characteristic of the network. To be able to draw a conclusion regarding transmission quality that is as reliable and as close to reality as possible, the device receives at least one modulated input signal to be transmitted via the network, that it receives a description of a simulated interference environment, that it receives a description of a simulated channel characteristics of the network, and that it features a logic module which is programmed in such a way that an output signal is computed according to a specifiable algorithm as a function of the received signal and taking into consideration the description of the interference environment and the description of the channel characteristic, the output signal allowing for a conclusion regarding the quality of transmission via the network.
