2 Operational States 2.1 Description of function of the EUT NINA-B3 is a small size radio module intended for OEM integration utilizing Bluetooth 5, IEEE 802.15.4, 2.4 GHz proprietary mode and/or NFC. All 2.4 GHz RF-signals share the same RF-path thus it is not possible to transmit e.g. BLE, 802.15.4 and 2.4GH proprietary mode signals simultaneously. The EUT and its physical boundaries: • Evaluation board • EUT (radio module NINA-B3) • U-blox PCB Antenna 2.2 The following states were defined as the operating conditions The NINA-B3 modules are set into a test mode, in which normal operation is not possible, but the full capabilities of the radio are unlocked and can be used in transmission tests. This mode is typically used during spurious emissions testing and requires special firmware to be enabled. The applicable test firmware was loaded to the radio module: Radio test modes nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a (radio_test_14may.hex) Examiner: Bernward ROHDE Report Number: F190149E3 Date of Issue: 18.03.2019 Order Number: 19-110149 Page 10 of 30
