21 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/1140r0 SubmissionHarish Ramamurthy, Marvell Semiconductor Inc.Slide 21 Discussion: Qualitative Test Results SCO –No tests were done with manual AFH –With regular AFH enabled, the audio went from unacceptable to near perfect A2DP –With regular AFH With distance between BT Tx and 802.11 Tx equal to 0.5 m, audio quality for both 20 MHz and 40 MHz was unacceptable With distance increased to 1.5 m, audio quality improved significantly for both 20 MHz and 40 MHz Note: The headset remained 0.5 m away from 802.11n Tx. This still emulates a user working on a laptop while listening to music and amounts to moving the BT tx (stereo) away by 1m –With manual AFH Audio quality is good in both 20 MHz and 40 MHz
