Power Measurements
Peak and average RF Power of the DUT can be measured in both
Normal and Test Modes.
Average Power - Normal Transmit Power (NTP)
Test Mode
With a Test Mode connection, average power, is measured by sampling
the power value over the main part of the full Bluetooth packet. The
number of samples increases as the packet length increases. For best
measurement speed, perform the NTP test with DH1 packets. Average
power measurements can be obtained in transmitter tests as well as in
receiver tests with selectable packet types and modulation patterns.
Normal Mode
With a Normal Mode connection, average power is measured by
sampling the power values within the Access Code part of the packet.
There is no Bluetooth specification for average power with a Normal
Mode connection.
