RE: nRF9160 EMC tests

Hi Martin,

Thank you for the reply, it was really helpful.

I want to comeback with an additional question: we want to use the product in the EU and Singapore mainly (US as well, as a second step) and I'm not sure what directives we should follow for the certification. Both in Singapore and EU, the RED directive should be followed from what I read. But then on the pages you indicated, the nRF9160 is said to be designed to meet the 3GPP TS 36.101 specification. Are the two independent or should we only test for one?

Best,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Please use the at_client sample, (Documentation) which enables the user to use an external computer or MCU to send AT commands to the LTE-M/Nb-IoT modem of the nrf9160 device. All the supported AT-Commands are referenced in the AT Command Manual.

Following the White Papers:

nRF9160 Hardware Verification Guidelines

nRF9160 Antenna and RF Interface Guidelines

You see that you can utilize the %XRFTEST command in different ways to test out your device.

Best regards,

Martin L.
