Transmit power Z-Stack 1.2.2 CC2530 + CC2591

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530, Z-STACK, CC2591, CC2592, CC2590

Hello forum,

What is the default transmit power in Z-Stack 1.2.2 (CC2530 + CC2591) examples?

How can I change it (I do not use MT tool)?

Thanks in advance,

Jose

  • The default TX power of CC2530+CC2591 is 20 dbm. You can use API macRadioSetTxPower to set TX power in dbm scale.
  • Hello YiKai,

    I think I'm doing something wrong. I forced the TX power to be 20dBm at the begining of my application code using:
    uint8 myTxpower = 20;
    (void)MAC_MlmeSetReq(MAC_PHY_TRANSMIT_POWER_SIGNED, &myTxpower );

    I checked the received power in the Ubiqua sniffer and the power really seems to increase about 10dBm, when compared with the default behaviour (not adding the piece of code). This makes me believe that the default value is not 20dBm but maybe 10dBm.

    In the Hal_board_cfg.h I changed a lot of things since I have my own hardware and I only defined HAL_PA_LNA.

    Since I'm using CC2591, should I also define HAL_PA_LNA_CC2592 or HAL_PA_LNA_CC2590?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jose
  • You should define HAL_PA_LNA when you use CC2591. You can use macRadioSetTxPower to set TX power by dbm.
