Does CC1200 (wavematch) still need 32-bit sync word with a good autocorrelation properties?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1200

Hi, 

Does it matter what sync word is used in CC1200? Will FF FF FF FF be the same good as default 93 0B 51 DE(due to Wavematch technologiy)?

  • Yes. As I answered the sync search is correlation based. 6763.Wavematch_E2E.pptx

    No matter how you search for a sync word 0xFFFF will never be a good sync word since it's just a tone and you will never know if it's a tone or noise.

  • Hi, Ter

    Could you help me to find a source for 32-bits sync codes with a good autocorrelation properties for using with CC1200 as address.  Quick search lead to scientific papers related to CDMA with just a lot of formulas. 

    Could you provide a list of good 32-bit sync words?

    Best regards,

    Oleg

  • We haven't done work on this. If you need a range of sync words I would make a Matlab script looping through all permutations and set up a rule for number of permitted sidelobes/ the amplitude for the side lobes.

    If you have to use the sync word as address you should use Strict Sync Word Check ( SYNC_CFG0[1:0]). Or you should use a fixed sync word and then use the address field for filtering.

  • Mathworks has done some work on generating Gold codes, see this link.
