Abstract

A test station for wireless devices and methods for calibration thereof. The test station includes a signal generator, a calibrator, a scanner having receiving and transmitting antennas, a signal analyzer, and a computer. Under the direction of the computer, the signal generator generates a calibration signal in accordance with a programmable calibration signal script. The calibrator may be used to emulate either a wireless device in transmit mode by transmitting the calibration signal to the scanner for analysis by the signal analyzer, or a wireless device in receive mode by receiving the calibration signal from the scanner for analysis by the signal analyzer. The behavior of the test station is calibrated by correlating signal parameters of the calibration signal as specified by the calibration signal script and as measured at the signal analyzer.
