Si4430/31/32-B1
4. Modulation Options
4.1. Modulation Type
The Si4430/31/32 supports three different modulation options: Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK),
Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), and On-Off Keying (OOK). GFSK is the recommended modulation type as it
provides the best performance and cleanest modulation spectrum. Figure 12 demonstrates the difference between
FSK and GFSK for a Data Rate of 64 kbps. The time domain plots demonstrate the effects of the Gaussian filtering.
The frequency domain plots demonstrate the spectral benefit of GFSK over FSK. The type of modulation is
selected with the modtyp[1:0] bits in "Register 71h. Modulation Mode Control 2". Note that it is also possible to
obtain an unmodulated carrier signal by setting modtyp[1:0] = 00.
