4.3.1.1 Bluetooth RF TX Modulation Test

Perform the following steps for the demonstration of the Bluetooth RF TX modulation test:
  1. Set up the connection between the PIC32-BZ6 Curiosity Board and PC. For more details, refer to Getting Started with MCHPRT3.
  2. In the RF BT tab, perform the following steps:
    1. From the “RF Modes” drop-down list, select TX Mode.
    2. From the “Channel” drop-down list, select 2402 MHz for channel 37.
    3. From the “Payload” drop-down list, select PRBS9 (default value).
    4. From the “PHY” drop-down list, select the Data Rate (1M, 2M, S = 2 and S = 8), for example, select PHY 1M.
    5. From the “Power” drop-down list, select the Output Power, for example, select 11 dB.
    6. From the “Packet Length” drop-down list, select the Packet Length (0-255), for example, 255 (default value).
    7. From the “Temp. Compensation” drop-down list, select Enable or Disable. The output power compensates according to the ambient temperature.

  3. Click START to transmit the Bluetooth Low Energy packet.
