The measurements for Receiver Blocking
are performed at normal environmental conditions only. The EUT is configured to operate
in a normal operational mode and are tested on those channels and channel bandwidths
specified in the Limits on Nominal and Occupied Channel Bandwidth table in
CE
Regulations for SRDs Operating in License-Free 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Bands
[1].
Figure 4-1 shows the test setup for the Receiver Blocking. The test results comply with the
Limits on Receiver Blocking table in CE Regulations for SRDs Operating in
License-Free 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Bands [1] and are recorded in the test report. The test procedure for
Receiver Blocking measurements is described in the following steps:
- Make the test setup as shown in Figure 4-1.
- Switch ON the EUT and other test
equipment.
- For test procedure, see clause
5.4.10.2.1 of EN 301 893 [4].
- Turn-Off the RF on the Blocking
Signal Generator.
- Use the Radio Testing Tool [9] to setup and configure the EUT and the Companion device. For
setting and up and configuring the EUT, see the Radio Testing Tool User's Guide
[10].
- Open the Radio Testing Tool [9] and setup the link with the EUT by using the Setup tab.
- Open the Rx tab and select the
desired parameters such as Channel/Frequency, Data Rate, Data Pattern, and so
forth).
- Click on “Start Rx Testing”.
- Open the Radio Testing Tool [9] and setup the link with the Companion device by using the Setup
tab or use the AP configuration tool to configure AP to the desired parameters (if
AP is used as companion device).
- .Open the Tx tab, select the
transmission mode to “packetized”.
- Configure the Companion Device to the
same parameters such as Channel/Frequency, Data Rate, Data Pattern, Power and so
forth) used for EUT.
- Click on “Start Tx Testing”.
- Adjust the Attenuator setting and or
Tx power of the Companion device to obtain a desired signal level at the EUT
port.
- Observe the Rx statistics on the Rx
tab of the EUT. Make sure that the PER/FER is at 0% (no errors before adding the
interferer).
- Observe the PER on the Rx statistics
on the Rx tab of the EUT and adjust the desired signal level to a minimum by using
an Attenuator and or Tx power of the Companion device to get the PER < =10%
(minimum performance criteria).
- Note down the desired signal level as
Pmin and increase the level of the desired signal to Pmin+6dB by using an Attenuator
and or Tx power of the Companion device .
- Turn ON the RF signal on the Blocking
Signal Generator, set the mode to CW, set the Frequecy as per the Limits on
Receiver Blocking table in CE Regulations for SRDs Operating in
License-Free 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Bands [1] and adjust the level to the levels mentioned under the column
“Slave without Radar Detection” in the Limits on Receiver Blocking table in
CE Regulations for SRDs Operating in License-Free 2.4 GHz/5 GHz
Bands [1].
- Observe the Rx statistics on the Rx
of the EUT. Measure the PER/FER and record it.
- If the PER /FER is <= 10%, then it
passed the test at that blocking frequency.
- Repeat the above steps for other
Blocking frequencies as per the Limits on Receiver Blocking table in CE
Regulations for SRDs Operating in License-Free 2.4 GHz/5 GHz
Bands [1].
- Repeat the above for other data
rates/modulations and also other desired channels.
- The Receiver Blocking test results
comply with the limits shown in shown in the Limits on Receiver Blocking
table in CE Regulations for SRDs Operating in License-Free 2.4 GHz/5
GHz Bands [1] for all the test cases.
