usage of each Radio mode (FCC)

[mc]

Hi there,

I am now in FCC stage and finalizing a FCC code using the radio test sample code. I do have a delimma on what type of radio mode I have to use. Will you please explain to me what are the appropriate usage for the different radio Mode in FCC testing.

1. RADIO_MODE_MODE_Nrf_1Mbit
2. RADIO_MODE_MODE_Nrf_2Mbit
3. RADIO_MODE_MODE_Nrf_250Kbit
4. RADIO_MODE_MODE_Ble_1Mbit

My chip is nRF51422.

My second question is that, do I need to enable the DC-DC in FCC test code? My hardware is configured to use the DC-DC.

Thanks, -mc

Hi mc,

On nRF51 we only use 1Mbit (nRF and BLE). There is one exception, band edge is done at 2Mbit. We only test the worst case scenarios.

Yes, we enable DC-DC in FCC testing.
