15.2 BLE FCC Measurements
The measurements described below are in the context of pre-test FCC measurements. All
measurements reported here use the following parameters:
Operating Conditions:
●
T = 21 °C
●
VBAT = 3 V
Test Configuration:
In order to comply with 15.247 FCC limits 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.
Equipment:
●
Signal analyzer Rohde & Schwarz FSV Spectrum analyzer
Tools:
●
CLI programmer
●
SDK RF Tools Command Line Interface Application for RF Test Commands
