Hi,

I have problem with CC1101 SmartRF04EB Evaluation board.Using Smartrf Studio I am configuring one Evaluation board as TX and the another one as RX,using Smartrf Studio software I am sending packets from TX but the receiver(RX) is not receiving packets and I tried vice versa also by puting the other board on receive mode then also it is not receiving packets.I also tried by downloading the software examples Link,Link1 into the MCU in demo board using smartrf studio then also there is problem of reception for transmission it works well it is transmitting packets but receiver is receiving nothing.

So there is some problem with receiving packets.

Thank You

cc1101 SmartRF04EB CC11xx SmartRF Studio 7

    Note if you have the two EMs close to each other and using antennas the CC1101 will go into saturation. Try to increase the distance or remove the antenna on one or both of the EMs and try again.

    Hi

    What output power are you using? If the transmitter and receiver are to close together and you are sending with maximum output power, the reciever will get saturated and you will not get a link.

    Try reducing the output power on the transmitter and place the boards further a part (approx 40 inches or so)

    Best regards

    Martin

    Hi

    try one of these :

    1. Reduce the output power.

    2. Try to place the boards further apart.

    3.If none of above solved your problem, maybe increasing the preamble bits will helps.

    Hello,

              I'am working with CC1101 using my own PCBs. I had a same problem depicted by Vedang. I didn't receive anything from

    transmiter side. After review parameters about "desviation" and " RX bandwidth" in SmartRF  I saw that bandwidth was closer

    of deviation.

             I use bandwidth about 6x high that desviation and GFSK modulation. Is working now !!!!

    Regards
