Conducted or Radiated Testing?
The choice between conducted or radiated testing will depend on whether your device or receiver has an external antenna connection. With no external connection available, your test signal must be radiated (Radiated testing) so that the internal antenna can receive the signal. If an external connection is available, then you can use Conducted testing where the signal is delivered directly via the test set-up.
