| 1. A testbed for testing broadband wireless test units, comprising:
an enclosure;
a plurality of I/O connectors accessible externally of the enclosure, each of the I/O connectors for being electrically coupled
to a respective test unit; and
a series of connections within the enclosure which serve to interconnect the plurality of I/O connectors as respective nodes
in a bus-mesh network topology configured to simulate path loss with fading channels across various node routes, and to provide
for rapid switching of path loss variations while precluding undesirable cross talk among the test units.
