RE: Nrf52832 How to test the RF power of Bluetooth

Hi Zhouli,

You can connect Rhodes cmw500 probe with J1 connector on nrf52832 DK and measure the transmit power. You can take a look of the discussion in PCB antenna and J1 connector.

If you have a customized board, then it depends if have a PCB antenna or not.

If you have a PCB antenna, then you need a SWF connector. Otherwise, a standard connector shall be enough. You can check another post here.

By the way, there is also one RF test example in SDK which can be used for setting tx powers, channels etc.

A what?

Did you mean this: https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/uk/product/cmw500-productstartpage_63493-10341.html

Surely, you need to contact Rohde & Schwarz for support with their equipment?!
