手机比特误码率(BER)测试原理

Loopback BER：基本应该是仪器发射一串已知信号，手机接收后解调后再编码发射出去，仪器接收后与本身对比，从而得出BER。BER计算是在仪器端进行的。  

因为手机发射时是强信号，可以认为没有干扰或干扰可以忽略。

Single Ended BER：仪器发射一个波形文件，手机接收后，在手机端算出BER值。

For receiver verification testing, the DUT must receive a suitable DL 
signal from the test equipment so that a bit error rate (BER) measurement can be made.

there are two mechanisms 
for reporting BER: loopback BER and single-ended BER.

Loopback BER testing sends data to the device on the DL, which is 
looped back to the tester via the UL. The tester then can post-process 
BER for comparison to the data sent originally on the DL. When 
loopback BER is used for receiver test, the DL signal normally requires 
full channel coding. 

Single-ended BER：Alternatively, BER measurements can be obtained by the device 
reporting the data directly over the chipset control. This is typically 
referred to as single-ended BER. Next generation non-signaling test 
equipment uses arbitrary waveform files to transmit across a test 
sequence to provide a continuous and frame-coherent DL signal to 
the device. With single-ended BER, the channel coding is either full or 
partial depending upon the test mode.

For single-ended BER, the test 
mode must account for use of arbitrary waveform generator files. This 
means that the specific data pattern that the device must receive on 
the DL often is simplified for easier and faster computation. The test 
mode also might need to include the capability to resynchronize to a 
repeating data pattern caused by the repetition of the waveform file
