Abstract

This paper introduces the method to accurately measure phase-locked loop (PLL) lock time in a multi-site production environment. This method is also applicable for measuring RF transceiver frequency settling time, frequency and phase errors after settling for multiple devices under test (DUT) in parallel using either on board frequency mixers and RF signal generators or using RF receivers of automated test equipment (ATE).
