nrf52832 production test Bluetooth performance reference manual?

[peter.min]

1: Is there any information that can be systematically introduced to the production test of Bluetooth products?
2: What parameters do I need to test for mass production of Bluetooth products?
3: What instrument situ as you test these parameters?
4: Is there a low-cost alternative to instrument testing?

Hi,

 

We have two documents on production testing for our short-range products

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/struct_appnotes/struct/appnotes_nan34.html?cp=13_3 

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/nwp_028/WP/nwp_028/nwp_028_intro.html?cp=14_5

 

Generally the most important is to test that the PCBA is properly manufactured, i.e. that soldering is correct and that cables etc. are connected. Characterizing all kinds of RF performance parameters should not be needed, we do extensive testing in our production line, but of course different products/companies have different requirements and confidence in our production test so this is also fine for those who feel the need for it. As described in one of the documents it is possible to use a nRF52 Development Kit as tester, it will allow you to verify that the radio works, but not necessarily tell any details about modulation characteristics, frequency offset etc.

 

Best regards,

Andreas
