Introduction
Testing NFC-enabled devices is essential during the design validation phase, as well as during
manufacturing test to ensure quality and reliability of data transmission. This is especially important when
you consider that the data being transferred/exchanged between NFC-enabled devices is often secured
financial transactions.
The Keysight Technologies, Inc.’s DSOXT3NFC/DSOX4NFC automated NFC test software provides thorough
physical layer testing with fast throughput. Although the DSOXT3NFC/DSOX4NFC software does not
provide complete NFC conformance testing, this software package is based on Keysight’s award-winning
Infiniium oscilloscope conformance test software to provide a low-cost test solution that includes a broad
range of the most critical tests to einsure quality and reliability.
The PC-based software controls a Keysight Technologies, Inc. Trueform waveform generator to produce
a variety of test signals based on various NFC standards, and then measures the response captured by
a Keysight Technologies, Inc. InfiniiVision X-Series oscilloscope with real-time sampling up to 5 GSa/s.
Measurement results are then compared against published NFC specifications for pass/fail conditions. The
DSOXT3NFC/DSOX4NFC software also provides complete report generation with statistical and margin
analysis capabilities as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. NFC test results shows Poller parameters that fail to meet specifications highlighted in red, as well as marginal
test results highlighted in yellow.
