5.2.1 Output Power (TRM/CA/01/C)
Goal
Verification of the maximum peak and average RF-output power
Parameters
1. Test mode: Transmitter test, Loop back, Null packets (simple connection).
2. BT channels are the TX frequency channels of the DUT, which are selected to test. The
frequency for each channel is calculated as (2402+ch) MHz, where ch is the frequency
channel. The frequency channel is the value from 0 to 78. Any quantity of the frequency
channels can be selected in the TC-3000C. The list of selected channels must be
separated by “-“. For instance, the record “0-20-40-60” means that the test case must be
executed for four frequency channels: 0, 20, 40 and 60, that is for the frequencies 2402
MHz, 2422 MHz, 2442 MHz and 2462 MHz.
3. Packet type parameter specifies which packet type will be used for the test case. If the
parameter is equal to ‘longest’ then the tester will read LMP features of the DUT and the
longest supported packet will be selected for the test case.
Note. This parameter is ignored in Null packets test mode.
4. Number of packets parameter specifies how many packets will be used to find the
maximum peak and average RF-output power.
5. Hopping mode parameter specifies whether hopping will be used or not for the test.
Note. This parameter is ignored in Null packets test mode.
If the flag “Use Default” is selected then all of displayed values of parameters are ignored and
the listed above values are assigned automatically:
Test/Normal Mode: Transmitter
BT channels: 0-39-78
Packet type: longest
Number of packets: 1
Hopping mode: 79 (Hopping is on)
Additional test conditions
In Transmitter test and Loop back test mode whitening is disabled and the payload’s bit pattern
is PRBS9.
Test Procedure
1. If the DUT is not connected then the tester creates connection via access procedures
(paging and inquiry if necessary).
2. If the Test Mode parameter is equal to “Transmitter test” or “Loop back” then the tester will
activate test mode (if the test mode is not activated yet) and will set all necessary
parameters of the test mode depending on the parameters Test Mode, Packet type and
Hopping mode. The LMP_test_control command is used to set the parameters in the DUT.
3. The tester checks whether the DUT transmits at maximum power. If not and the DUT
