Abstract
IEEE 802.15.4z-compliant ultra-wideband (UWB) devices are becoming ever more popular in contemporary radio engineering systems. Such systems are capable of precisely measuring distances (with their accuracy expressed in centimeters), are immune to interference, offer low latency and transmit data in an energy-efficient manner. Widespread adoption of UWB technology has triggered significant demand for testing integrated circuits these systems rely on, prompting the development of new testing methods to meet the ever increasing requirements in terms of testing speed and reliability. The same applies to sensitivity tests, in the course of which up to 2000 different packets may be received. The process of generating and analyzing such a large number of packets is time consuming. Furthermore, if multiple devices need to be tested simultaneously, the duration of the test will be multiplied accordingly. In such a context, the article investigates the lead time required to generate 2000 UWB packets using conventional methods and proposes a novel approach to significantly reduce packet generation time and improve testing efficiency.
