Abstract:
Inducing desired frame error patterns and rates in a CDMA wireless communication channel. The induced frame errors may be used to test a digital radio receiver's behavior in the presence of frame errors. Preferred methods include providing a carrier signal having at least one data channel, where the data channel has a plurality of data frames; generating discrete noise bursts of radio frequency noise, where the noise bursts have a duration characteristic and an interval characteristic; and, combining the noise bursts and the carrier signal to induce a desired frame error characteristic.
