8.3.2 Antenna Damper
The antenna damper allows the chip to deal with higher field strength, it is enabled by register R1<4>. It consists of shunt resistors which
degrade the quality factor of the resonator by reducing the signal at the input of the amplifier. In this way the resonator sees a smaller parallel
resistance (in the band of interest) which degrades its quality factor in order to increase the linear range of the channel amplifier (the amplifier
doesn't saturate in presence of bigger signals).
Table 16. Antenna Damper Bit Setup
8.4 Channel Selector / Demodulator / Data Slicer
When at least one of three gain channel enters initial wake-up state the channel selector makes a decision which gain channel to connect to the
envelope detector. If only one channel is in wake-up state the selection is obvious. If more than one channel enters wake-up state in 256µs
following the first active channel the channel with highest RSSI value is selected. The output signal (amplified LF carrier) of selected channel is
connected to the input of the demodulator.
The performance of the demodulator can be optimized according to bit rate and preamble length as described in
Table 17. Bit Setup for the Envelop Detector for Different Symbol Rates
If the bit rate gets higher the time constant in the envelop detector must be set to a smaller value, this means that higher noise is injected
because of the wider band. The next table is a rough indication of how the envelop detector looks like for different bit rates. By using proper data
slicer settings it is possible to improve the noise immunity paying the penalty of a longer preamble. In fact if the data slicer has a bigger time
constant it is possible to reject more noise, but every time a transmission occurs, the data slicer need time to settle. This settling time will
influence the length of the preamble.
