Prerequisites:
• Run the Transmit Spectral Mask Compliance Test (see section 5.3.2) and Receiver
Sensitivity Test (see section 5.6), if you have not already done so, before starting this
test.

Test Procedure
1. Set up equipment as indicated in Figure 9. Follow the guidelines in section 5.2.1 when
making or breaking RF connections.
2. Verify that both the source transceiver and the destination transceiver are powered on.
3. Open a command window on each of the Linux PCs depicted in Figure 9.
4. Use the cd command as necessary on each Linux PC to move to the directory
containing the mode application supplied with the Motorola SDK.
5. Run the following commands on the Linux PC connected to the UWB destination
transceiver:
./mode B
./config 1 114 NONE 16k 0
./mode PR
./stats FRAM MACAddress
See the Motorola UWB Software Development Kit Utilities Guide for definitions of the
parameters used with the mode , config and stats commands. Be sure to replace the
parameter MACAddress with the proper value for the destination transceiver.
6. Run the following commands on the Linux PC connected to the UWB source transceiver
(replace the MACAddress parameter with the proper value for the source transceiver):
./mode B
./config 1 114 NONE 16k 0
./mode PT
./stats FRAM MACAddress
7. Note the FER reported on the PC connected to the destination transceiver. It should be
approximately.
8. Gradually move the UWB source transceiver closer to the destination transceiver (or
vice versa) while noting the FER.
