International Classification:

H04B 17/00

US Classification:

455 6712, 455 6711

Abstract:

According to some embodiments, a method includes placing a device under test (DUT) in a test chamber and applying a pulse-modulated RF wireless test signal to the DUT in the test chamber. The method further includes detecting an acoustic output of the DUT. In addition or as an alternative to applying the pulse-modulated test signal, the test signal strength may be at a level of 30 V/m or 90 V/m. If the DUT is a telephone, it may be coupled via a voice signal path to another telephone, and an output of the other telephone may also be detected.

US Classification:

709203000

Abstract:

In a system for managing and selecting a service to fulfill a request, a client application can issue a message to execute a function. A service proxy can receive the message from the client application and identify one of a plurality of services to execute the function in accordance with one or more rules. Upon identifying the service to execute the function in accordance with the rules, the service proxy can send a message to the identified service to execute the function. Alternatively, the service proxy can send the identity of the identified service to the client application. The client application can then send the message to execute the function to the identified service upon receiving the identity of the identified service from the service proxy.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A method for operating a TEM cell to determine the characteristics of a radiation source in a circuit. The circuit is placed in the TEM cell such that the relative orientation of the circuit and the TEM cell is measurable. The TEM cell provides an output signal indicative of the energy radiated by the circuit when the circuit is operated in the TEM cell. The output signal of the TEM cell is measured for at least 6 different relative orientations of the circuit and the TEM cell. The electric and magnetic dipole moments of a radiation source having an orientation and physical dimension associated therewith are determined from the measured output signals. The electric and magnetic dipole moments determined from the measured output values are compared to moments predicted by each of a plurality of antenna types to provide an estimate of the orientation of the radiation source relative to the circuit. In addition, embodiments of the present invention may also measure the output signal of the TEM cell as a function of frequency for at least one of the different relative orientations. This information may be used to determine a physical dimension associated with the radiation source.
