Hi,
We are trying to perform RX BER meter test for BLE.
But we are achieving the 50 percentage of bit error rate in the result.
To run this test we configured wlink8 as a receiver and spectrum analyzer as a transmitter. The following commands are using to set the RX..
Spectrum analyzer configuration:
