R&S FSV-K8
ture stability by sampling the IF signal and converting it digitally down into the base
band (I/Q area).
The measurements are performed by passing the following signal processing steps:
●
LAP (Lower Address Part) trigger detection
●
Resampling
●
Channel filtering
●
Automated packet and bit pattern detection
●
Limit check
●
Parallel display of measurement curves and numeric results on the screen
The
IF filter is fixed to 20MHz. The A/D converter samples the 20 MHz IF signal with a sam-
pling frequency of 65.83 MHz.
Low pass filtering is performed after the signal has been down–converted into the com-
plex base band and the data rate is reduced in the sequence. The amount of decima-
tion depends on the selected oversampling factor = points / symbol. The default setting
is 4, resulting in a 4 MHz sampling rate. For EDR–measurements, the oversampling
factor is always fixed to 4. The resulting I/Q data are stored in a memory of 512 k
words for I and Q respectively. The hardware trigger (external or IF power) controls the
memory access.

2.5 Bandwidths

The Bluetooth RF Specification defines a minimal bandwidth of 3 MHz. The digital
bandwidth depends on the selected oversampling factor (= points / symbol). With the
default setting of 4, the digital bandwidth is 3 MHz. This digital filter has a flat amplitude
characteristics and does not affect the frequency deviation of the signal.
