Power Amplifier
The maximum output power is approximately 10dBm
for a 50 Ω load. For maximum output power the load
seen by the PA must be resistive. Higher output
power can be obtained by decreasing the load
impedance. However, this will be in conflict with
obtaining impedance match in the LNA. The output
power is programmable in seven steps, with
approximately 3dB between each step. This is
controlled by bits PA2 – PA0.
The power amplifier can be turned off by setting PA2
– PA0 = 0.
For all other combinations the PA is on and has
maximum power when PA2 – PA0 = 1.
The PA will be bypassed if PA_by=1. Output power
will drop ~15dB. It is still possible to control the
power by PA2 – PA0.
The output power varies about 3dB over power
supply 2.0V to 2.5V and about 2dB over temperature
-40˚C to +85˚C. The 2
are as follows:

To reduce the emission of harmonics, an LC filter
can be added between the ANT pin and the antenna
as shown in Figure 15.
This filter is designed for the 915MHz band with 50Ω
terminations. The component values may have to be
tuned to compensate for the layout parasitics. This
filter may also increase the receiver selectivity.

Frequency Modulation
Modulation1
When Modulation1 and Modulation0 is 00, the
modulator needs to be programmed properly, see
“Modulator” section. The modulation signal will now
be applied directly on the phase locked VCO. It is
therefore important that the PLL bandwidth is not too
high, as this will remove the modulation. See “PLL
Filter” section on how to calculate the PLL
components.
modulation signal is applied to the VCO and
therefore some sort of encoding is needed.
The level of encoding is determined by the PLL loop
filter bandwidth and data rate. Two of the most
common encoding techniques are Manchester
encoding and 3B4B. Other encoding schemes may
also be used.
Manchester encoding is when one bit is encoded in
to a two-bit word and is shown in Table 10. When
using Manchester encoding the maximum overhead
is 100%. When selecting PLL loop filter it is
important to note that the min baud rate is equal to:
