The nonlinear characteristic of the output stage results in an
output spectrum containing harmonics of the fundamental,
especially the third and fifth. To meet local regulations, a low-
pass filter usually is required to filter these harmonics.
The output stage can be powered down by setting Bit PD2 in
the function register low.
GOOK MODULATION
Gaussian on-off keying (GOOK) represents a prefiltered form
of OOK modulation. The usually sharp symbol transitions are
replaced with smooth Gaussian-filtered transitions with the
result being a reduction in frequency pulling of the VCO.
Frequency pulling of the VCO in OOK mode can lead to a
wider than desired bandwidth, especially if it is not possible to
increase the loop filter bandwidth to > 300kHz.
The GOOK sampling clock samples data at the data rate:
Bits D1 to D6 represent the output power for the system for a
positive data bit. Divider Factor = 0x3F represents the max-
imum possible deviation from PA at minimum to PA at
maximum output. An index counter setting of 128 is
recommended.
Figure 32 shows the step response of the Gaussian FIR filter.
An index counter of 16 is demonstrated for simplicity. While
the pre-filter data would switch the PA directly from off to on
with a low-to-high data transition, the filtered data gradually
increases the PA output in discrete steps. This has the effect of
making the output spectrum more compact.

As is the case with GFSK, GOOK requires the bit stream
applied at TxDATA to be synchronized with the sampling clock,
TxCLK (see the GFSK Modulation section).
