Measurement of a characteristic of a digital modulation signal transmission circuit is calculated using only a distorted digital modulation signal from the transmission circuit. A measurement and processing circuit receives and demodulates the distorted digital modulation signal from the transmission circuit, separates known and unknown data from the demodulated signal, and estimates ideal symbols for the unknown data using known information derived from the known data, such as modulation format information and pilot signals. Then the measurement and processing circuit calculates the characteristic, such as transmission circuit linearity, between the distorted digital modulation signal and a calculated ideal digital modulation signal based on the ideal symbols and known information. The characteristic measurement is displayed graphically.
