Questions About the Radio Test Sample for Measuring BLE Radio Frequencies

Hello,

I am working on a prototype Bluetooth Low Energy module using the MDBT50Q-512K (by Raytac).

To measure the frequency of this prototype with test equipment, I am planning to use the following sample:
Radio test (short-range)

I have a few questions regarding this, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Q1. Regarding the 3 modes supported by the radio test sample for testing and certification purposes, is my understanding of the TX modes correct as follows?

  1. Constant RX or TX carrier

    • Frequency Hopping: OFF
    • Primary modulation (GFSK): OFF
    • Output: Continuous sine wave
  2. Modulated TX carrier

    • Frequency Hopping: OFF
    • Primary modulation (GFSK): ON
    • Output: Modulated signal on a single frequency channel
  3. RX or TX sweep

    • Frequency Hopping: ON
    • Primary modulation (GFSK): ON 
    • Output: Continuous output across frequencies 

Q2. Are these three modes also supported on the nRF52833?

Q3. I would like to test these 3 modes on a custom board where the nRF52833 is implemented, rather than using the supported development kits.

To use these modes, is it sufficient to connect the UART pins of the nRF52833 to a control PC and input control commands from the PC?

Are there any additional precautions I should take?

Additional Information

  • I am using nRF Connect SDK V2.7.0.

Thank you very much for your time and support. I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,
Kentarou
