Max Drift Rate (Bluetooth)

Max Drift Rate is the maximum carrier frequency change between any two payload measurement intervals spaced 50 µs apart within the analyzed packet (RF Radio Frequency: A generic term for radio-based technologies, operating between the Low Frequency range (30k Hz) and the Extra High Frequency range (300 GHz).-PHY Physical Layer Test Specification §4.6.4). It bounds how quickly the carrier is allowed to move while a packet is on the air.

Like Max Frequency Drift, this is a within-packet result. Conformance requires every measured value to meet the limit; with averaging ON the worst case appears in the Max / Min columns of the Results Table.
