CC3135MOD: How to transmit continuous RF carrier at maximum level on a chosen channel for SAR test purpose

diego fiorin

Part Number: CC3135MOD

Hello.
We are using Wi-Fi module CC3135MOD (https://www.ti.com/product/CC3135MOD#product-details) to develop a medical device.
Since we are using it closer than 20 cm from the body of the patient, we need to perform SAR measurements.
The lab that will perform SAR tests for us is asking for the possibility to set the RF power at its maximum level and to transmit a continuous RF carrier on a chosen channel.
I'd need instructions to do this with the mentioned module please. Is there some specific "test mode" or configuration to do this? How can we do that?
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

Ah I forgot: we are working only at 5 GHz, not at 2.4 GHz.

Hi Diego,

The Radio Tool GUI serves as a control panel for direct access to the radio, and can be used for both the radio frequency (RF) evaluation and for certification purposes. You can download it from here. The Radio Tool User's Guide is here.

Using Radio Tool, you can transmit a carrier wave signal. Ensure that the "tone" setting is set to a number other than 0.

BR,

Seong
