transmission power and communication frequency , how to change ? are this related to hardware circuit changes? or software code changes?
This is covered in the datasheet: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/cc1101.pdf
Chapter 21 for setting the frequency, chapter 24 for output power programming.
Is this chip have node addressing kind addressing technique? i mean if i have 4 transmitters and 1 receiver , my receiver will receive all 4 data from 4 transmitters right? then how will i know that which data from which transmitter? or am i getting wrong that this is switch on radio like anyone can send data to receiver without needed of pair (like Bluetooth and wifi), there is no need of pair right?
my application is to transmit the Voice over RF .
See "15.3.1 Address Filtering" in the datasheet.
This is a transceiver meaning that this chip only covers the physical layer. Pairing etc is implemented on a higher layer meaning that using this chip you can freely implement (or not) what you want.
Then maybe you should rephrase the question?
Node addressing and pairing is not part of the phy layer and this chip only covers phy.
i have also asked the Range of this chip, which we can fairly count as hardware question. however i do not know about the chip have functionality for node addressing so just asked for that, i do not want detailed explanation.
Range is a function of a number of parameters. If you use http://www.ti.com/tool/RF-RANGE-ESTIMATOR and find the setting that is closest to the CC1101 datasheet to be used as input.
i believe every RF (wireless communication chip) have min to max distance range of communication, in our language we call it Line of sight, and there is definitely every rf company have tested it, now it is matter of lack of documentation of the chip manufacturer.
The max range is set as the max output power and the sensitivity, which is chip parameters. But as you see from the range estimation tool, the range is also very dependent on, as an example:
- Antenna: No antenna will give a lot poorer range than a directive antenna
- Placement: If you place one or both of the units higher above ground the LOS increases.
My point being is that it's not possible to add range as a datasheet parameter since the range is not only down to the chipset but also a lot of other factors that is not related to the chip.
