3.4.10.1
The FTOVAL<7:0> bits (FLTHREG<7:0>) determine
the sensitivity of the OOK receiver, as it sets the com-
parison threshold for weak input signals (that is, those
close to the noise floor). Significant sensitivity
improvements can be generated if configured correctly.
The noise floor of the receiver at the demodulator input
depends on the following conditions:
• The noise figure of the receiver
• The gain of the receive chain from antenna to
• The matching, including SAW filter
• The bandwidth of the channel filters

Optimizing the Floor Threshold
FLOOR THRESHOLD OPTIMIZATION

Yes
Preliminary
Set MRF89XA in OOK RX mode
Default OOKTHSV<2:0> setting
Adjust Bit Rate, Channel filter BW
It is therefore important to note that the setting of the
FTOVAL<7:0> bits will be application-dependant. The
procedure shown in the flow chart in Figure 3-12 is
recommended to optimize the FTOVAL<7:0> bits.
The new floor threshold value found during this test
should be the value used for OOK reception with those
receiver settings.
Note that if the output signal on DATA is a logic ‘1’, the
value due to the FTOVAL<7:0> bits is below the noise
floor of the receiver chain. Conversely, if the output sig-
nal on DATA is a logic ‘1’, the value due to the
FTOVAL<7:0> bits is several dB above the noise floor.
