FCC/IC/ETSI certification procedure

[Sridhar Jonnavittula]

Hi Team,

Please provide the nRF52 based module Characterization, software testing for FCC/IC/ETSI certification test procedure and document

Is DTM test enough for FCC/IC/ETSI certification? If not what else we need to do?

Thanks,

Sridhar

Hi,

 

You should confirm with your test house what they prefer. DTM can be used, but for regulatory testing the "radio test example" (also in the SDK) is more flexible. 

Best regards,

Currently we are verifying using DTM TX and RX under nRF Connect for desktop. Is that acceptable in Lab?

[Andreas]

Hi,

 

Our impression is that it really comes down to what the lab prefers, it should be acceptable but some might ask you to bring a different kind of FW or setup. Also note that DTM is a BLE spec, if you use e.g. 802.15.4 you will not be able to test that with DTM.

 

Best regards,

Using only our board with radio test example, how can we verify radio receiver path? Does lab mandatory verifies RX path also?

[Andreas]

Hi,

 

You can enable RX mode on your DUT. Using a second device as TX, on the same channel, same mode and not random payload, you can print the received packets from the DUT.

You can also do this with DTM in nRF Connect for desktop.

 

Best regards,

Andreas
