= 21 °C
●
VBAT = 3 V
Equipment:
●
Signal analyzer: Rohde & Schwarz FSV Spectrum analyzer
●
R&S CBT - CBT go PC testing software
●

●
SmartSnippets
Studio v1.3.2.636
●
SDK RF Tools Command Line Interface Application
Test Procedure:
●
The board is set to continuous modulated transmission mode for spectrum analyzer
measurements.
●
Continuous packet transmission mode was used for R&S CBT measurements.
Test Configuration:
All tests are performed with the following settings:
●
DCDC_V18_VOLTAGE=0x16 default value (0x5000008C).
●
R73=16.5 Ω. Sets the VCC2 level to 1200 mV.
●
RF_TX_PWR_REG = 2 (0x500020C0). Sets the DA14680/681 TX output power to -2 dBm.
