average-referenced threshold applications, F
mitting a long sequence of bits of the same value, such as the TRC103’s data scrambling or Manchester encod-
ing options.
The peak-referenced threshold is generated from the RSSI signal using a fast attack, slow decay peak detector
emulation. The slicer threshold is immediately set to 6 dB below the peak value of the RSSI signal anytime the
RSSI value exceeds the threshold by 6 dB. The threshold then decays by a configurable dB step when a config-
urable interval passes without the RSSI signal peaking 6 dB above the threshold. The decay step is configured
with RXCFG15 bits 7..5 as shown in Table 60:
The decay interval is configured with RXCFG15 bits 4..2 as shown in Table 61:
The chip period t
ing, the chip period is equal to ½ the bit period:
Where t
provide a good starting point for most applications. For application environments that contain pulse noise, such as
operation in a band where other FHSS systems are operating, using Manchester encoding and decreasing the
decay interval to twice or four times per chip and/or increasing the decay step to 1 dB will reduce the “blinding”
effect of pulse noise. Multipath flutter tolerance is also improved by using Manchester encoding and decreasing
the decay interval and/or increasing the decay step size.
6.3.3 OOK Transmitter Related Configuration Values
MCFG0C bits 4..3 allow the rise and fall time of the power amplifier regulator to be adjusted. Using the default
component values for R6 and C5 as shown in Figure 2, the rise and fall times for the power amplifier regulator
and the OOK modulation are given in Table 62:
