Results Table (Bluetooth)

The Results Table trace reports the per-specification scalar results computed from the analyzed burst. The results run down the rows; the four statistics computed for each one — Value, Max, Min and Average — run across the columns. The leftmost column names the result and its unit.

The corresponding limits and pass/fail status appear in the Limits Table, which lists the same results in the same order.

Available Results

Result Description

Avg Power (dBm)

Mean output power of the burst, measured over the output-power window. Called mean output power in the Core Specification.

Peak Power (dBm)

Highest instantaneous power reached within the burst.

Df1 Avg (Hz)

Δf1avg — the average frequency deviation measured over the 11110000 payload groups.

Df2 Avg (Hz)

Δf2avg — the average frequency deviation measured over the 10101010 payload groups.

Df1 Max (Hz)

Δf1max — the largest of the per-group Δf1 maxima.

Df2 Max (Hz)

Δf2max — the largest of the per-group Δf2 maxima.

Df2 Rate (%)

Percentage of the measured Δf2max values that exceed the minimum deviation the standard requires for the active PHY Physical Layer.

Df2/Df1 Ratio

Ratio of Df2 Avg to Df1 Avg, which verifies that the transmitter's Gaussian filter is not narrower than allowed. Dimensionless, so the row label carries no unit.

ICFT (Hz)

Initial carrier frequency tolerance — the carrier frequency offset measured over the packet preamble.

Max Frequency Drift (Hz)

Largest carrier frequency drift measured within the packet.

Max Drift Rate (Hz/50 us)

Largest rate of carrier frequency drift measured within the packet, expressed over the standard's 50 µs window.

Initial Freq Drift (Hz)

Drift of the first payload group relative to the preamble frequency reference.

Min Df1 Max (Hz)

The smallest of the per-group Δf1 maxima.

Min Df2 Max (Hz)

The smallest of the per-group Δf2 maxima, on the same basis as Min Df1 Max.

Every result is computed within a single packet — Bluetooth conformance testing then repeats the measurement over at least 10 packets. Results whose pass criterion is a mean (for example Δf1avg) use the Average column; results whose criterion is "all values must pass" (ICFT, drift, drift rate) use the worst case in the Max / Min columns.

Results With No Average

Five results always show *** in the Average cell:

The Max and Min columns of these results accumulate normally.

*** Cells

*** means there is no value for that cell. In this table it covers two cases:

*** is not the same as "no limit applies": a result that has no limit shows a blank Limit cell in the Limits Table.

Packet Information

Entries above the grid identify the packet the results came from:

Entries below the grid report the decoded CTEInfo octet, and appear only for packets that carry a Constant Tone Extension:
