CC1101 and ASK/OOK

Hi,

Thanks for this quick answer.

I will try with different RX filter bandwidth later today. 

My two CC1101 are about 50 cms away from each other : i will try different distances later today as well.

But in my surroundings, I have half a dozen RF433 devices using ASK/OOK modulation whitin 10/20 meters so I expected to pick these up.

My two CC1101 have the same registers.

Regards,

Erwan

Hi,

I have followed your advice and it works :)

I increased the rx filter bw and lowered the tx power and here comes my signal !

Thanks a lot : great chip, great support !

Here below my settings. Maybe it can help others to send/receive with ASK/OOK modulation at 433 FR.

Great to hear that you made it work! In order to get the best sensitivity and thus performance you might be able to reduce the RX filter bandwidth a little more depending on your XTAL accuracy. See more in DN005 http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/swra122c.

Help me plz, where I'm wrong.

havn't looked at the settings yet, but initial though is to increase the distance between the transmitter and receiver.

Did not see anything very wrong with your settings, but I noticed that you used different frequency in the two set-ups, have you tested more frequencies? Have you tested more AGC settings like described in DN022 http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/swra215e?

Thanks for the reply. I made a mistake with the configuration PATABLE. It must be thus ['0x0', '0x1d', '0x0', '0x0', '0x0', '0x0', '0x0', '0x0'].
