M9081A Bluetooth® Measurement Application

The Bluetooth measurement application is part of the common library of measurement applications for the Keysight modular PXI VSAs, an evolutionary approach to signal analysis that spans instrumentation, measurements and software. Transforming the modular PXI VSAs into standard-based transmitter testers, the application provides fast, one-button RF conformance measurements to help you design, evaluate, and manufacture your Bluetooth RF transmitters. The measurement application satisfies the test conditions defined in the Bluetooth Core Specifications to help verify your Bluetooth design with confidence while supporting manufacturing with a single application covering Basic Rate, EDR and Low Energy technologies for production.

Transmitter testing

• Simplify setups with one-button measurements for different data packet types in a single option with pass/fail limits in accordance with the Bluetooth Core Specification Version 2.1+ EDR and Low Energy (Bluetooth 4.0)
• Combine multiple results of output power, modulation characteristics, initial carrier frequency tolerance and carrier frequency drift for basic data rates and low energy in a single transmitter measurement. Analyze relative transmitter power, frequency stability/modulation accuracy and differential phase decoding of the EDR signal
• Perform adjacent channel power for Basic Rate and in-band spurious emissions for EDR signals up to 79 channels (79 MHz) with a proprietary algorithm, pressing a single button

Signal analysis

• Compliant with Bluetooth® Core Specification Version 2.1+ EDR and Low Energy (Bluetooth 4.0)
• One-button measurements with pass/fail per the standard

Measurements

• Transmitter analysis of combined output power (Basic Rate or Low Energy) or EDR relative power and modulation measurements associated with multiple results at a single time
• Modulation: deviation, initial carrier frequency tolerance (ICFT), carrier frequency drift, EDR frequency stability and EDR modulation accuracy
• Spectrum measurement: output spectrum bandwidth, adjacent channel power and EDR in-band spurious emissions
• Multiple result views: RF envelope, demodulation waveform, RF spectrum, numeric display.

Performance (hardware dependent)
