Performance Test 

10.1 

 

RF Test 

The GR5515 SK Board reserves a small RF connector (J50), which  can be connected to a spectrum analyzer or a 
Bluetooth LE tester (for example, TLF3000) to test the RF performance of the GR5515 SK Board.   

The RF connector, J50, integrates an internal switch:   

 

By default, if no test line probe is connected to J50, the RF circuit signal is connected to on-board antenna.   

 

If any test line probe is connected to J50, the RF circuit signal is directly connected with the test line, not the 

board-level  antenna  any  more.  The  other  end  of  the  test  line  is  connected  to  a  test  instrument  through  a 

standard SMA connector.   

 

Note

It is recommended to use a high-frequency test line, such as MURATA MXHS83QE3000, to test RF performance for 
the GR5515 SK Board; the test probe is not included in the GR5515 SK package.

shows test connection between a GR5515 SK Board and TLF3000 by taking TLF3000 as an example.

After establishing connection, you can select different test items from the software on the PC, to test RF-related 
parameters.
