Welcome to a new series here on the Academy. I've been wanting to do this for a long time — hands-on Radio Frequency (RF) testing inside a proper shielded environment — and I finally pulled the trigger on a Ramsey STE3000M RF shielded test enclosure.
I want to be upfront about something: I'm new to this equipment. I've worked with Bluetooth LE for years, but operating a professional RF chamber is a different discipline. The value of this series isn't that I'm an expert on shielded enclosures — it's that we'll learn together, and I'll share the real results, including the mistakes and surprises along the way.
Let's get started.
In this lesson, we'll walk through the chamber specs, run a simple scan test with a BleuIO dongle, review the results, and discuss what to improve for next time.
