CC1101: 902-928MHz FCC maximum power output when using OOK or FSK.

Part Number: CC1101


Hello,

For operation in the 902-928MHz band, what is the maximum power output allowed when using OOK or FSK?

Not when using Spread Spectrum or Frequency Hopping.

I think it used to be about -0.23dBm EIRP.

Not sure what the Pout would be assumming a simple dipole radiator?

Something like 0dBm or 1mW?

Peace,

  • Hi Zebryk,

    If FHSS or a digital modulation technique that gives a 6dB bandwidth of 500 kHz is not used FCC 15.249 restricts output power to 50 mV/m at
    3 meters distance (approximately -1 dBm EIRP).

    DN006 - CC11xx Settings for FCC 15.247 Solutions gives an overview of FSK settings that could be used to achieve a greater output power without the need of FHSS.

  • Hi,

    What might that be in Pout (dBm) fed into a half wave dipole?

    This is for developing a Hi-Fi “Intercom” for Pro-Audio applications.

    The duty cycle or time-on-air could be virtually continuous.

    Would this be permitted when using the method shown in DN006?

    Would another chip be better having a higher maximum data rate?

    Is Spread-Spectrum essentially required? Not a cost sensitive application.)

    Also, this is desired to be full duplex. (Using (2) transceivers.)

    Could this be done in a pocket sized device without a Duplexer.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Zebryk,

    That will depend on the exact antenna. Taking the typical value for a dipole of 2.15 dBi, that would be approximately -3.15 dBm.

    before answering your other questions, about what effective data rate would your audio application require? (The audio bit rate)

  • Diego,

    The want is 1Mbps. Almost doing it now at 650Kbps.

    Our big challenge is getting the latency down to 5mS.

    Peace,
