Bluetooth(TM) Product Overview

R&S CMU Bluetooth Flyer

15-Jan-2025

7layers and Rohde & Schwarz developed jointly with leading chipset manufacturers the first test platform to perform Channel Sounding qualification testing with Bluetooth® RFPHY release 6.0, listed by the Bluetooth® SIG.

05-Mar-2025

The next Bluetooth® release is expected to be ratified soon. One important new feature is the Unified Test Protocol (UTP) Test Mode for Bluetooth® Low Energy, that will complement existing test methods. The UTP Test Mode will additionally enable over-the-air (OTA) controlled device testing, which will simplify measurements of small and highly integrated devices enormously, since no direct wired connection to the tester is needed. Rohde & Schwarz and Ceva, in close cooperation, have developed the world’s first test solution for this new test mode, making its debut at embedded world 2025.

28-Mar-2024

Rohde & Schwarz will present the first real-time measurements on the planned new Bluetooth® signals to support Channel Sounding. The demonstration at the embedded world Exhibition & Conference in Nuremberg, Germany, will be run on an R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester. The Bluetooth® Channel Sounding feature will enable unprecedented positioning accuracy for consumer and commercial applications. The signal measurement capabilities to support chip and device development are eagerly awaited by the industry.

This application note describes how to use the R&S CMW platform to perform the measurements defined in Bluetooth test specification version 5.

19-Jun-2017 | AN-No. 1MA282

This document describes the direct test mode mechanisms for testing Bluetooth Low Energy devices and explains how the direct test mode connection is established. The R&S CMW uses a USB port for the direct test mode connection while the Equipment under Test (EUT) may provide a USB port, a serial port or even a 2-wire UART interface for this purpose. Installing or assigning the right driver for the EUT is the main configuration task on the R&S CMW. For EUTs with USB port, the R&S CMW provides a Bluetooth Low Energy USB driver which has to be assigned to the connected EUT.

14-Dec-2016 | AN-No. 1C105

This document describes the adaptive frequency hopping mechanism for improved signaling performance in Bluetooth Basic Rate and Enhanced Data Rate devices.The R&S CMW provides this feature for remote operation in TX, Loopback and Connection test mode. Thereby the R&S CMW acts as a master, while the Equipment under Test (EUT) represents the slave(s) of the piconet.
