Bluetooth EDR Test Set

The MT8852B Bluetooth test set is designed for high speed testing of Bluetooth Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) products. It performs the new radio layer measurements defined in the Bluetooth Revision 2.0 EDR standard, along with the basic rate measurements, from a single "RUN" button key-press. To ensure reliable connections with other Bluetooth products, the MT8852B performs transmitter error vector magnitude and receiver sensitivity tests at the higher data rates. The test set also offers a typical test time of less than 10 seconds for new EDR products, meeting the demands of high volume manufacturing lines.
