Hi Hakon,

Thank you so much for the clarification for radio_test example usage.

It was nicely explained ...

Best Regards

Sachin

Hi,

If your aim is to verify RF PHY performance, then the radio_test example should suffice.

You shall be able to provide a modulated and unmodulated TX output at any chosen channel, and placing the device into RX mode for measurement of the local oscillator leakage (commonly named RXLO).

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi Hakon,

First of all thank you very much for quick responses, the above explanation was nicely explained. And also I got the use of "radio_disable()" function.

My intention was to develop custom made radio test program in which I can pass the command & based on the command it will start or stop the radio with passed channel and power, for the testing purpose.

Does radio_test example suits to my intention for the testing ??

Thanks

Hi,

What is your intention here?

The radio_test example is for RF PHY evaluation, mainly for tele-regulatory testing purposes (FCC, ETSI, ARIB etc). It is not an example for RF communication.

The radio_test_txsweep() will start a timer, which increments a channel variable and disables/enables the radio in order to latch the new configuration. It does this in a timed pattern between min and max RF channel chosen.

[quote user=""]( "radio_modulated_tx_carrier() ") they are calling "radio_disable();" ... why they are disabling the before the TX starts. [/quote]

Because you might have been in another test before this.

Kind regards,

Håkon
