3-60 Theory of Operation: Bluetooth
To verify the Bluetooth transmitter is operational, an RCMP command can be sent to transmit a
constant carrier waveform on a Bluetooth frequency. To verify the LF transmit feature is operational,
an RCMP command can be sent to transmit a constant carrier waveform at 125 kHz. There are
similar RCMP commands for verifying BT/LF RSSI when a CW BT/LF signal is applied near the
antennas of the BT/LF circuitry.
