1. An electronic device comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) tap connected to an RF signal component of a first RF signal chain, wherein the first RF signal chain comprises a plurality of hardware components; and
an analysis component connected to the RF tap, wherein the analysis component is configured to convert an RF signal from the RF signal component and to compare a conversion result of the conversion to a power output data structure that is based on historical data for a second RF signal chain having a configuration that matches the first RF signal chain, wherein the power output data structure maps power output variations from an expected power output to respective failures of components of the plurality of hardware components.
