CC2640R2F: How to increase maximum transmission power in Project Zero Application

Part Number: CC2640R2F

Hi,

How can i increase the transmission power to maximum in CC2640R2F Project Zero application.

Regards

  • Hi,

    The TX power can be changed from ble_user_config.c file which locates in ICallBLE folder.

    // Tx Power Table
    txPwrTbl_t appTxPwrTbl = { TxPowerTable,
                               NUM_TX_POWER_VALUES,  // max
                               DEFAULT_TX_POWER };   // default
    
      // Tx Power Values (Pout, IB, GC, TC)
      const txPwrVal_t TxPowerTable[] =
      { { TX_POWER_MINUS_21_DBM, GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x07, 3, 0x0C ) },
        { TX_POWER_MINUS_18_DBM, GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x09, 3, 0x0C ) },
        { TX_POWER_MINUS_15_DBM, GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x0B, 3, 0x0C ) },
        { TX_POWER_MINUS_12_DBM, GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x0B, 1, 0x14 ) },
        { TX_POWER_MINUS_9_DBM,  GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x0E, 1, 0x19 ) },
        { TX_POWER_MINUS_6_DBM,  GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x12, 1, 0x1D ) },
        { TX_POWER_MINUS_3_DBM,  GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x18, 1, 0x25 ) },
        { TX_POWER_0_DBM,        GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x21, 1, 0x31 ) },
        { TX_POWER_1_DBM,        GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x14, 0, 0x42 ) },
        { TX_POWER_2_DBM,        GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x18, 0, 0x4E ) },
        { TX_POWER_3_DBM,        GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x1C, 0, 0x5A ) },
        { TX_POWER_4_DBM,        GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x24, 0, 0x93 ) },
        { TX_POWER_5_DBM,        GEN_TX_POWER_VAL( 0x30, 0, 0x93 ) } };

    The default output power is set to 0dBm which is the 8th element in the TxPowerTable(index=7= DEFAULT_TX_POWER).

    To change the value you can change the DEFAULT_TX_POWER value.

  • Hi Christin Lee,

    Thanks for the reply, WIth +5db transmission power what would be maximum range that CC2640R2F can advertise and what would be the power consumption approximately.

    Regards,

  • The power consumption for 5dBm setting can be found in our datasheet.
    Here is the range estimation excel sheet we have provided to everyone. (Sticky note in the forum)
