Figure 18: Current measurement with oscilloscope
Important:
The current measurements will become unreliable when a serial terminal is connected
to the Virtual COM port.
6.8 RF measurements
The nRF52 Preview Development Kit board is equipped with a small size coaxial connector (
J1
) for
conducted measurements of the RF signal.
The connector is of SWF type from Murata (part no. MM8130-2600) with an internal switch. By default,
when there is no cable attached, the RF signal is routed to the on-board PCB trace antenna.
A test probe is available from Murata (part no. MXHS83QE3000) with a standard SMA connection on the
other end for connecting instruments. When connecting the test probe, the internal switch in the SWF
connector will disconnect the PCB antenna and connect the RF signal from the nRF52832 device to the
test probe.
