Re: [PSES] EN 300 328 - Bluetooth testing

The two things I've found to be problematic are band edge and spurious emissions.  So many of the other characteristics are cast in silicon that they've alreeady been worked out.

I have only tested modules produced by others,  however I have never had a failure. The biggest issue has been getting the software to properly control the device so it could be tested easily.

To you guys who have deep experience with Bluetooth test and approvals according to EN 300 328, are there any of the required tests that is really hard to fulfil and often fails during tests, and therefore should have special attention during the development phase?

... or requirements that often lead to discussions because it can have several interpretations ....


Thanks for all feedbacks!


EN 300 328 requirements:
-RF output power
-Power Spectral Density
-Duty Cycle, Tx-sequence, Tx-gap
-Accumulated Transmit time,Frequency Occupation & Hopping Sequence
-Hopping Frequency Separation
-Medium Utilization (MU) factor
-Adaptivity
-Occupied Channel Bandwidth
-Transmitter unwanted emissions in the out-of-band domain
-Transmitter unwanted emissions in the spurious domain
-Receiver spurious emissions
-Receiver Blocking
-Geo-location capability
