Results Table (Bluetooth)
The 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 — , , and — 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.
Statistics
-
Value — the result computed from the burst currently selected by the Burst parameter.
-
Max, Min and Average — computed over every burst detected within the Search Length, not only the selected one. With averaging ON they continue to accumulate across acquisitions; with averaging OFF they span the current acquisition alone. A burst for which a result could not be measured is skipped rather than counted as zero.
Available Results
| Result | Description |
|---|---|
|
Mean output power of the burst, measured over the output-power window. Called mean output power in the Core Specification. |
|
|
Highest instantaneous power reached within the burst. |
|
|
Δf1avg — the average frequency deviation measured over the 11110000 payload groups. |
|
|
Δf2avg — the average frequency deviation measured over the 10101010 payload groups. |
|
|
Δf1max — the largest of the per-group Δf1 maxima. |
|
|
Δf2max — the largest of the per-group Δf2 maxima. |
|
|
Percentage of the measured Δf2max values that exceed the minimum deviation the standard requires for the active PHY Physical Layer. |
|
|
Ratio of to , which verifies that the transmitter's Gaussian filter is not narrower than allowed. Dimensionless, so the row label carries no unit. |
|
|
Initial carrier frequency tolerance — the carrier frequency offset measured over the packet preamble. |
|
|
Largest carrier frequency drift measured within the packet. |
|
|
Largest rate of carrier frequency drift measured within the packet, expressed over the standard's 50 µs window. |
|
|
Drift of the first payload group relative to the preamble frequency reference. |
|
|
The smallest of the per-group Δf1 maxima. |
|
|
The smallest of the per-group Δf2 maxima, on the same basis as . |
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 column; results whose criterion is "all values must pass" (ICFT, drift, drift rate) use the worst case in the / columns.
Results With No Average
Five results always show in the cell:
-
, , and are extremes. The and columns already report the extremes across bursts, and a mean of maxima is easily misread as the value the specification tests against.
-
is excluded because a capture may carry a different payload pattern from burst to burst, so its mean would combine groups from whichever pattern each burst happened to use.
The and columns of these results accumulate normally.
*** Cells
means there is no value for that cell. In this table it covers two cases:
-
The result was not measured for this acquisition — for example the Δf2 results on a capture whose payload carries only the Δf1 pattern.
-
The statistic is not defined for that result — the cells listed above.
is not the same as "no limit applies": a result that has no limit shows a blank cell in the Limits Table.
Packet Information
Entries above the grid identify the packet the results came from:
-
Packet Type — the configured packet type, or the detected one when the packet type is set to . It reads when no burst synchronized.
-
Coding — the active PHY rate: , or .
-
Payload Length — the decoded payload length in bits. Absent when the packet header did not decode.
-
Payload — the payload pattern the analyzer measured, such as or . This is what was detected, not what was requested.
-
Df1 Groups, Df2 Groups — the number of complete 8-bit pattern groups each Δf family measured. These are the sample sizes behind the Δf results and the denominator of . A family that measured no groups is shown as absent rather than as zero.
Entries below the grid report the decoded CTEInfo octet, and appear only for packets that carry a Constant Tone Extension:
-
CTE Time — duration of the Constant Tone Extension.
-
CTE RFU — the reserved bits of the CTEInfo octet.
-
CTE Type — , or .
