3.1.3 Standalone RF Testing

The BP-CC3301 can be used standalone (without a host) to test RF capabilities, using Radio Tool. For more information on Radio Tool and where to download, refer to Wi-Fi Toolbox BP-CC3301 Hardware Setup.

The BP-CC3301 has an on-board SMA connector and component antenna, and a U.FL can be populated on the board, for conducted RF testing using compatible cables (a rework can be needed). For more information, see Section 2.5.
