Equipment testing method and apparatus

摘要

Systems, methods, and devices related to testing receive equipment. A test signal generator is coupled to both a receiver and an antenna. The receiver is also coupled to the antenna and a test signal verifier. A test signal is synthesized at the generator and is routed to the receiver. Once the verifier verifies that the test signal was received by the receiver, this ensures that the equipment coupled to the receiver, as well as the receiver itself, is in operating condition. Switches or other means of routing the test signal between the different components of the system can also be present.

主权项

1. A system for testing equipment coupled to at least one receiver, the system comprising:
a test signal generator for synthesizing test signals at a predetermined interval; at least one antenna coupled to said generator and to said at least one receiver; at least one automatic test signal verifier, said verifier being coupled to one of said at least one receiver and being for verifying that said test signals have been received by said at least one receiver;
at least one filter for at least one of:
Doppler Processing;Moving Target Detection;Moving Target Indication; wherein said test signals are routed from said generator to said at least one verifier by way of said at least one receiver; and said test signals are configured to defeat said at least one filter.
