I would like to perform direct mode testing on a custom design based on the CC2642R.
Are there any relatively low cost (perhaps <$1k) options for this test setup?
I see the Anritsu MT8852 and other R&S testers recommended but these are of course all expensive tools and while it is possible to rent them I'd like to have a solution that is relatively low cost even for long periods of use. I understand this might not be as accurate as these advanced tools but I'd like to understand what the options are. As far as I am understanding Nordic provide direct test mode functionality simply using their nrf-connect software and simple dev-kits, is there something similar for the CC2642 ? Could the Nordic nrf-connect DTM be somehow used to test the CC2642 DUT?
Thanks
