Chapter 2. Product Overview

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology will simplify connections between everyday appliances such
as mobile phones, PCs and PDAs. Bluetooth will not be confined to the office - home
applications will include portable music players, digital cameras, video recorders and
children’s toys. In future, Bluetooth technology will be found in the automotive, avionics
and industrial controls markets. Bluetooth technology will provide individuals with a
personal networking environment that can be found in public places, such as shopping
centers, sports stadiums and airports.

The success of the Bluetooth standard will depend on users of the technology enjoying
products that are reliable with high-quality connections that can be used “out of the box” to
provide immediate connectivity.

The combination of leading-edge RF and protocol technologies, coupled with the
requirement to get implementation costs down to a few dollars, puts particularly high
demands on the test department to develop test procedures that are comprehensive in
terms of both RF and functionality. These tests need to be fast and initiated through a
simple user interface. The integration of a module into an OEM product will not necessarily
produce predictable results, and the performance of every item will be different, this
makes it essential to test to a known set of parameters using an instrument traceable to
National Standards.

Anritsu knows the importance of test for RF products. We know that in an OEM production
environment, the key requirement will be to validate performance in the shortest time.
Production engineers will need to decide on a subset of the Bluetooth RF test specification
that is appropriate to their product’s requirements.

Working with RF, especially RF at over 2 GHz is not easy, but with Anritsu as your test
partner you can be certain of having the most up-to-date and relevant testing capabilities
for your Bluetooth products.

The MT8850A/MT8852A

Anritsu have developed the MT8850A/MT8852A, a Bluetooth Test Set to test Bluetooth
modules and Bluetooth products - quickly and at low cost.

Anritsu has a century of experience in RF technology, and today has a reputation for
developing solutions to test the newest wired and wireless technologies. Our test and
measurement products are used by customers in over 100 countries worldwide, and our
experience in the measurement business is second-to-none.

13000-000109 2-1
June 2003 About Bluetooth

MT8850A / MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set Product Overview

MT8850A/MT8852A Features

Three test modes •

• Standard mode in which the MT8850A/MT8852A uses full Test Mode signalling

and all the defined test controls to test the EUT in the fastest and most efficient
way possible.

• Single payload mode in which Test Mode signalling is performed in a very
restricted manner. The customer can define the packet length, packet payload,
select loopback or TX mode and hopping on or off.

• Null packet mode enables measurements to be made on EUTs that do not have
test mode support, by performing a limited subset of measurements on packets
without payloads. None of these measurements are performed in accordance
with the Bluetooth test specifications.

•

Fast

Keep your production lines flowing with the rapid “Quick Test” measurement script.
Production test scripts can run in as little as 10 seconds, measuring power, frequency,
modulation and receiver sensitivity (BER).

•

One touch testing

Once the MT8850A/MT8852A has been configured, each device is tested with a
single keystroke. Press Run to initiate a link, activate Test Mode, perform the
measurements and report the results.

•

Authoritative

Under standard operation, tests are made exactly as defined in the Bluetooth RF Test
Specification. All measurements are traceable to National Standards so that you can
be totally confident in both your production testing and design proving.

•

Reference Bluetooth transceiver

A custom design transceiver offers <1 kHz frequency accuracy at the start of any
packet and full compliance with the requirements for the “Dirty Transmitter” for true
receiver sensitivity measurements. In addition to the standard dirty transmitter table,
you can define customized stress conditions with user settable values of Carrier
Frequency Offset, Modulation Index, Symbol Timing Error and simulated carrier
frequency drift.

•

Remote control

Both GPIB and RS232 interfaces are offered as standard. Creating test programs has
been simplified by the ability to send single commands for initiating a test and
returning all results in a single string.

•

Small size and weight

MT8850A/MT8852A takes up minimal space in your test system thanks to its half rack
size and low weight. Where Bluetooth interfaces are being introduced into existing
products, the disturbance to the test system is minimized.

Product Overview MT8850A / MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set

•

Editing tests

Define your own test scripts to customize the test measurements to your specific
requirements. Each test can be enabled or disabled and within any test, parameters
such as hopping can be enabled or disabled, the number of measured packets
defined, and the specific frequencies of testing set up.

•

Making a link

The BT address can be acquired by entering it manually at the keyboard, by
performing an inquiry, or by means of an RS232 or USB HCI link. Once the EUT BT
address is known a Bluetooth link is established using Paging.

•

Field upgradeable

The Bluetooth protocol stack is held in FPGA so that future versions of the core
Bluetooth specification can be installed locally. The instruments main program is held
in flash memory and so product enhancements are also field downloadable.

•

Design proving

Because measurements are made in accordance with the RF Test Specification,
MT8850A/MT8852A is the ideal instrument for pre-conformance testing and design
proving. Gain confidence in your product before submitting to a Bluetooth Qualification
Test Facility for approval. To perform tests such as TX output spectrum and spurious
emissions not supported by the MT8852A, use the Anritsu ME7865A Bluetooth Pre
Qualification Test System that addresses all 16 test cases defined in the RF test
specification.

•

Audio testing (MT8852A only)

The MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set can be used to perform audio measurements by
establishing a Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) link between the MT8852A
and the EUT.

BlueSuite Analysis Software

A BlueSuite software package gives PC control of the MT8850A/MT8852A for advanced
design proving measurements on Bluetooth radios. Use BlueSuite to view burst power
profiles, modulation eye diagrams, display graphs of the output power of the 79
frequencies and many other advanced diagnostic tools.

Chapter 3. Installation

Introduction

This chapter provides information for the initial inspection and preparation for use of the
MT8850A/MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set. Shipping and storage information is also
included.

Initial Inspection

Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the container or cushioning material is
damaged, retain until the contents of the shipment have been checked against the packing
list and the instrument has been checked for mechanical and electrical operation.

If the Test Set is damaged mechanically, notify your local sales representative or Anritsu
Customer Service Center. If either the shipping container is damaged or the cushioning
material shows signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as Anritsu. Retain the shipping
materials for the carrier's inspection.

Power Requirements

The MT8850A/MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set is operated from AC line power. The
MT8850A/MT8852A is intended as an Installation (Overvoltage) Category II, Insulation
Category I device.

At power-on, the instrument will perform a brief power-on self test (POST). If a POST error
occurs, information and available options will be displayed on the screen. If the POST is
successful, the instrument will then go to the top-level script or single test screen that was
active when it was powered down.

AC Line Power

The MT8850A/MT8852A can operate on AC input power of 85-264V, 47-63 Hz, 150 VA
maximum. The Test Set automatically configures itself for the voltage applied. An internal
fuse protects the AC line input.

Fuse Protection

The MT8850A/MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set is protected on the AC input by an internally
mounted fuse. Only qualified service personnel should change this fuse. Replace only with
a fuse of the same type and rating, which is 5 mm x 20 mm, 250V, 2.5A T (T= time lag or
slo-blo).

Grounding

The MT8850A/MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set must be properly grounded. Failure to ground
the instrument could be hazardous to operating personnel. The instrument is supplied with
a three-wire power cord.

The instrument is properly grounded when the plug is correctly installed in a grounded
receptacle. A grounding terminal is provided on the instrument rear panel.

June 2003 Introduction

MT8850A / MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set Installation

Environmental Requirements

The MT8850A/MT8852A is designed to operate within the temperature range of 5 to 40° C
(41 to 104° F) with a maximum humidity of 90% at 40° C (104° F), non-condensing. Full
accuracy is specified at 5 to 35° C (23 to 95° F).

Although not recommended, operation in temperatures to –20°C

(–4° F) is possible. At these temperatures, however, the liquid crystal display may exhibit
excessively slow response.

CAUTION

The instrument is cooled by a fan at the rear, which circulates air
round the instrument through the vent holes in the base. The fan and
the vent holes should not be blocked.

Rack Mounting

The MT8850A/MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set can be ordered with rack mounting hardware
that allows the instrument to be mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. There
are two rack mount option kits available:

The MT8850A-01 Rack Mount option allows the installation of a single
MT8850A/MT8852A in either the left or right side rack position.

The MT8850A-03 Rack Mount option allows side-by-side mounting of two
MT8850A/MT8852A Test Sets.

Single Unit Rack Mounting (Option 01)

This section describes the assembly procedure for fitting a single MT8850A/MT8852A
Bluetooth Test Set into an instrument rack. The MT8850A/MT8852A universal top and
bottom covers have removable feet to allow the rack mount kit to be fitted. The procedure
involves fitting the support bracket, front plate, base panel, and a rear support bracket to
the MT8852A. The MT8850A/MT8852A can then be loaded and secured in the rack
position.

Storage and Shipment

The following paragraphs describe preparing the MT8850A/MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set
for storage and shipment.

Preparation For Storage

Preparing the MT8850A/MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set for storage consists of cleaning the
instrument and packing it with moisture-absorbing desiccant crystals.

Environmental Requirements

Store the instrument in a temperature controlled environment that is maintained
between -40 and +70º C (-40 to ±156º F), with a maximum humidity of 90% at 40º C (104º
F), non-condensing.

Preparation for Shipment

To provide maximum protection against damage in transit, the MT8850A/MT8852A
Bluetooth Test Set should be repackaged in the original shipping container. If this
container is no longer available and the MT8850A/MT8852A is being returned to Anritsu
for repair, advise Anritsu Customer Service Center; they will send a new shipping
container free of charge. In the event neither of these two options is possible, follow the
packaging instructions below.

Use a
Suitable
Container

Protect the
Instrument

Cushion the
Instrument

Seal the
Container

Address the
container

Obtain a corrugated cardboard carton with a 125 Kg (275-pound) test
strength. This carton should have inside dimensions of no less than 150
mm (6 in) larger than the instrument dimensions to allow for cushioning.

Wrap the instrument to protect the finish.

Cushion the instrument on all sides by tightly packing dunnage or
urethane foam between the carton and the instrument. Provide at least
75 mm (3 in) of dunnage on all sides.

Seal the carton using either shipping tape or an industrial stapler.

If the instrument is being returned to Anritsu for service, mark the
address of the appropriate Anritsu service center, the Return Materials
Authorization (RMA) number, and your return address on the carton in a
prominent location.
