RF Qualification Test System

FRVS is recognized by the Bluetooth SIG as a validated test system for qualification testing of products to Bluetooth BR/EDR and low energy RF test specifications.

At the core of the system is the Teledyne LeCroy TLF3000 RF Tester which can test all the test cases up to 6GHz in the specification. (To perform blocking performance test cases which go up to 12.75GHz, an external CW generator is used).

The FRVS system is a highly portable and flexible qualification testing solution that, due to its unique parallel architecture, can execute testing much faster than traditional RF test systems. This compact yet powerful system is significantly smaller than comparable solutions, and can easily be accommodated on the test bench.

The FRVS Test System's main components include Windows Host PC, TLF3000 Hardware unit, FRVS validated test software, external CW generator and 2-way RF combiner.

The user configures the software for DUT connection and parameters from ICS/IXIT to enable test case selection. DUT properties are verified at the start of each test, and if incompatible, a test will not be run.

Test results are displayed in real-time and can be reviewed after each test run. Test results can be exported into a PDF report for full breakdown of parametrized results for individual tests.
