<p>A link quality analyzer measures the link quality between a calling station and a called station by continuously transmitting a plurality of signal tones. The called station receives the plurality of transmitting tones and samples them. A power spectrum is obtained of the received tones. From the statistics of the power spectrum the parameters of signal-to-noise ratio, multipath delay spread, Doppler frequency spread, frequency offset statistics, frequency-amplitude correlation, average amplitude response versus frequency, signal fading statistics, harmonic and intermodulation distortions, RMS-to-mean signal ratio, noise profile, and various noise statistics are determined. The power spectrum of the plurality of tones is measured through the use of digital sampling techniques and digital fast Fourier transform techniques that are implemented through microprocessor-level technology.</p> |
