IoT Wireless Power Analysis Workflow

IoT device power consumption analysis requires time-based measurement of current draw across operating states to understand how wireless activity impacts battery life. Engineers must capture current consumption during sleep, idle, advertising, transmit, and receive states while correlating these measurements with Bluetooth® Low Energy and WLAN signaling events. These tests involve generating repeatable OTA communication scenarios while monitoring how the device transitions between power states under different wireless conditions and configurations.

Keysight’s IoT wireless test platform enables controlled BLE and WLAN signaling while external power measurement captures device current and voltage behavior. Engineers can configure wireless scenarios, trigger specific device activity, and observe how power consumption changes in response to signaling behavior. PathWave-based software provides visibility into test timing, RF results, and device activity, helping engineers identify power spikes, inefficient state transitions, and unexpected behavior that affect battery life.
