CC2541 FCC Testing

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

Hi team,

My customer is prepping for FCC testing with CC2540.  For that testing, the BLE module will be put into a bunch of different transmit modes.  Do you know if other customers usually do this through PTM mode?  Is there any software offered by TI for sending PTM commands?

Btw, I have offered the following links for the customer to review, and have CCed them onto this thread to follow:

Thank you for your advice.

Regards,

Jennifer

  • Forgot to add that this is what the customer is looking to do:  

    Bluetooth

    1) Ability to select the modulation scheme

    2) Ability to disable frequency hopping

    3) Ability to select the operating frequency channel

    4) Ability to control the highest duty cycle greater than 98% for FCC/IC and 10% for CE

    5) Lowest data rate in each supported modulation/mode

    6) Ability to control the output power (maximum)

  • Hello Jennifer,

    The wiki article has code that can be incorporated in the application code to program the device in different configurations needed for FCC testing. This includes changing output power, channel frequency, switching between CW and modulated modes in TX and programming device in RX mode. Another alternatve is to use SmartRF studio to program the device in all the required modes for FCC testing.

    Regards, 

     

     

  • Hello. Yes this is a common occurrence and PTM is usually the solution. Instructions can be found here:
