The invention relates to an integrated circuit (IC) comprising of a signal
transmission channel (TX) including radio frequencies and a built-in
tester (TEST) intended to test radio characteristics of said integrated
circuit, said tester (TEST) comprising of--first means (COUPL) for
recovering a part of the signal generated by the transmission channel
(TX) at a first frequency (F0),--second means (M) for converting said
recovered signal from the first frequency (F0) into a second frequency
(F1),--an amplifier (A) for amplifying said signal at this second
frequency (F1), and--a rectifier (R) for rectifying said signal.
