CC1101 TX in OOK MOde

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1101

HI i SUCCEESS in TX/RX in GFSK MODE, however when switching to TX MODE, and using GDO0 as async. output, nothing out, 


i have a glance of the application note but only DN022 for it, anymore simple example of application note that can be useful, i read some post that say need to set PATABLE[1], however, i havenot seen such a hints in the CC1101 datasheet.

Thanks

Jeff

  • I have read you post a few times and I'm still not sure what you are asking about. From the heading I assume you are trying to use CC1101 with OOK. To do this you have to write the Logic '1' value and the Logic '0' value into PATABLE(1:0) What other issues did you see?
  • This is stated in the data sheet in section 24:

    "If OOK modulation is used, the logic 0 and logic 1 power levels shall be programmed to index 0 and 1 respectively."

    Remember that the PATABLE must be programmed in burst mode if you want to write to other entries than PATABLE[0].

  • Hi thank yor all help.

    I finally was successful in using CC1101 to work in OOK/Ascyn. mode.

    While it comes in anyother question that is MY BOSS ask me have option to use TX in  WIDE/NARROW BAND( i guess OOK is not able to set that right?)

    Thanks

  • OOK is normally used only for legacy products, one of the reasons is the poor spectral efficiency. If you want something that is narrowband you should use GFSK. It's also dependent on what you define as narrow-band since CC1101 is not a narrow band device. (Narrow band is typically defined as channels 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz wide.

    What is your overall spec?

  • Thanks. Do you mean that the OOK only work on wideband ?

    Just to reassure because i was successful in setting the CC1101 in OOK & GFSK,

    and that in GFSK mode i can set the fdev and RX filter bandwidth to adjust it is wideband or narrowband( is it correct that the fdev and RX filter is the factor ?).

    While in OOK , i dunno why you say it is wideband?

    Hope that you can help.

    Thanks a lot

  • What do you define as wideband and narrowband in your system?

  • thanks for quick reply.

    narrowband: modulation bandwidth 3db from peak within 25kHz

    thanks

    Jeff

  • With OOK you will not achieve this. A OOK spectrum is very wide with high side-lobes (it looks like a SINC).


    The signal bandwidth is set by modulation format, datarate and deviation. For FSK the signal bandwidth is datarate+2*deviation (conservative calculation), GFSK is narrower.
