For Safety
• For safety and warning information, please read this manual before attempting to use
the equipment.
• Keep this manual with the equipment.
• ALWAYS refer to the operation manual when working near
locations at which the alert mark shown on the left is attached. If
Warning
Warning
the advice in the operation manual is not followed, there is a risk
of personal injury or reduced equipment performance. The alert
mark shown on the left may also be used with other marks and
descriptions to indicate other dangers.
• Overvoltage Category
This equipment complies with overvoltage category II defined in
IEC 61010. DO NOT connect this equipment to the power supply
of overvoltage category III or IV.
When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory 3pin power cord to a 3-pin grounded power outlet. If a grounded 3-pin
outlet is not available, use a conversion adapter and ground the
green wire, or connect the frame ground on the rear panel of the
equipment to ground. If power is supplied without grounding the
equipment, there is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.
Warning
Warning
Only qualified service personnel with a knowledge of electrical fire
and shock hazards should service this equipment. This equipment
cannot be repaired by the operator. DO NOT attempt to remove the
equipment covers or unit covers or to disassemble internal
components. There are high-voltage parts in this equipment
presenting a risk of severe injury or fatal electric shock to untrained
personnel. In addition, there is a risk of damage to precision
components.
The performance-guarantee seal verifies the integrity of the
equipment. To ensure the continued integrity of the equipment, only
Anritsu service personnel, or service personnel of an Anritsu sales
representative, should break this seal to repair or calibrate the
equipment. Be careful not to break the seal by opening the equipment
or unit covers. If the performance-guarantee seal is broken by you or
a third party, the performance of the equipment cannot be
guaranteed.
Safety-3
Caution
Caution
Never input a signal of more than the indicated value between the
measured terminal and ground. Input of an excessive signal may
damage the equipment.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive
circuits in the instrument. ESD is most likely to occur as test devices
are being connected to, or disconnected from, the instrument’s front
and rear panel ports and connectors. You can protect the instrument
and test devices by wearing a static-discharge wristband.
Alternatively, you can ground yourself to discharge any static charge
by touching the outer chassis of the grounded instrument before
touching the instrument’s front and rear panel ports and connectors.
Avoid touching the test port center conductors unless you are
properly grounded and have eliminated the possibility of static
discharge.
Repair of damage that is found to be caused by electrostatic
discharge is not covered under warranty.
Safety-4

(#1) Only suitable for model types with audio functionality (MT8852B, MT8852B-041).
1-3 CombiTest
The MT8852B can be used in combination with CombiTest, a powerful PC software
application used to remotely control Anritsu Bluetooth and WLAN test sets for testing of
combo modules incorporating both Bluetooth and 802.11 radios.
CombiTest is the ideal tool for design-verification or production testing. It allows users to
build a test plan in seconds by simply selecting measurement or calibration tasks from the
instrument plug-in and configuring them as required.
When ready, the test plan is executed with a single click and a detailed report of results is
output automatically.

General Information
CombiTest, and the plug-in for the MT8852B, can be downloaded for free from Anritsu’s
website. Go to https://www.anritsu.com/en-gb/test-measurement/products/mt8852b and click
the [Library] tab. Download the CombiTest software package and the MT8852B plug-in.
More information on CombiTest can be found in the CombiTest Product Information Sheet
available at the address above. Full instructions are provided in the operation manual
available from the CombiTest [Help] menu.

BlueSuite Pro3
1-4 BlueSuite Pro3
The MT8852B can be used in combination with BlueSuite Pro3, a PC software application
ideal for detailed analysis of Bluetooth packets. The acquired data is presented graphically
on the PC, enhancing the analysis and troubleshooting capabilities of the standard MT8852B
displays.
Users select the required waveform options (Frequency Deviation, vs Symbol, Power Burst
Profile, Vector diagrams, and Constellation diagrams) and simply click run to display
detailed colour-coded traces.
BlueSuite Pro3 also facilitates script testing. Users select and configure the required tests
and view a detailed test report.
BlueSuite Pro3 is available by ordering option MX885201B as listed earlier in this chapter.

Chapter 2 — Bluetooth Overview
2-1 Introduction to Bluetooth
Bluetooth Overview
Bluetooth is an open protocol for short-range wireless and data communication between fixed
or mobile devices over distances of up to 10 meters. It operates on the globally unlicensed
ISM frequency band at 2.4 GHz. The Bluetooth standard is defined by an open specification
available publicly and royalty free.
Bluetooth Special Interests Group
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) oversees the development of the Bluetooth
standard and the licensing of the Bluetooth technologies and trademarks. The SIG is a
not-for-profit trade association founded in 1998. Today the SIG has more than 23,000
member companies from a wide cross-section of business sectors.
Bluetooth Qualification
To gain recognition as a Bluetooth enabled product, all products (manufacturers) must pass
through a nine step qualification process.
1. Join the Special Interest Group (SIG).
2. Enter the Qualification Listing Interface (QLI) on the Bluetooth.org website.
3. Obtain a Qualification Design ID (QD ID).
4. Define supported features; the Test Plan Generator (TPG) automatically generates a
suite of required test cases, RF and Protocol.
5. Execute tests as defined above.
6. Log results from tests in the Test Report Declaration (TRD).
7. Complete Declaration of Compliance (DoC) and additional information as required.
8. Complete payment of fees.
9. Product is listed on Qualified Product List (QPL) and End Product List (EPL).
Central and Peripheral Devices
When Bluetooth enabled devices communicate, one device acts as the ‘central’ (issuing
clocking and hopping sequence instructions) and the other(s) act as ‘peripheral’ device.
A central device can communicate with up to seven peripheral device in an ad-hoc network
known as a piconet. Data can be transferred between the central device and any other
peripheral device in the piconet but the roles are not fixed and any peripheral may take on
the role of the central device as required.

Bluetooth Overview
Test Mode
In addition to normal operation, the Bluetooth specification also defines a test mode. Test
mode is mandatory for product qualification and included to assist compliance testing of the
radio and baseband layers. The tester sends a command that forces the EUT to enter test
mode. When enabled, the EUT no longer supports normal operation. Test mode enables a test
instrument to put the EUT into the following states:
• Loopback mode
• TX mode
• Payload (PRBS9, 10101010, 11110000)
• Hopping (On or Off)
• Packet length (DH1, DH3, DH5, 2DHx, and 3DHx)
RF Test Specification Overview
The Bluetooth specification was initially developed in 1994 based on frequency-hopping
spread spectrum technology. In 1998 the specification was formalized by the SIG and has
passed through a number of versions since.
• Bluetooth 1.0 and 1.0B
The initial specifications used to develop early devices.
• Bluetooth 1.1
Added support for non-encrypted channels and also for Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI).
• Bluetooth 1.2
• Provided faster discovery and connection.
• Added Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH), to improve resistance to radio
frequency interference.
• Higher transmission speeds.
• Extended Synchronous Connections (eSCO), which improved voice quality of
audio links.
• Host Controller Interface (HCI) support for three-wire UART.
• Ratified as IEEE Standard 802.15.1-2005.
• Introduced Flow Control and Retransmission Modes for L2CAP.
• Bluetooth 2.0 (November 2004)
Introduced Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) for data transfer at up to three times previous
transmission speeds.
• Bluetooth 2.1 (July 2007)
Introduced Extended Inquiry Response (EIR), Encryption pause/resume (EPR), and
Secure simple pairing (SSP).
• Bluetooth 3.0 + HS (April 2009)
Introduced AMP (Alternate MAC/PHY), the addition of 802.11 as a high speed
transport.
