CC2530 RF Tests Continuous TX mode problems

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530

Hello,

I'm implementing the test mode to configure the CC2530 chip for operate in diferente modes, including the normal TX mode (sending 120 bytes packets every 10 ms) and Continous TX mode (Sending Carrier modulated).

I configure the radio to emite with maximum output power at +4,5 dBm.

Analyzing the power transmitted in the spectrum analyzer, when the radio is in normal transmission mode is to measure -6dBm and when in continuous transmission mode, is to issue a maximum power of -35dBm.

My doubt is related to the difference of almost 30dBm whereas the transmitted power configuration is the same.

Someone has similar problems?

Best regards

  • Hello,

    Nevermind, i found where was the problem. Before put the radio in Continuous transmission mode i turn off the radio RX that was suppose to be. Unfortunately RFST registration was being misconfigured, when he wanted to flashing the RX buffer, I was writing in 0xEC registration instead of 0xED

    Thanks anyway

    Best regards
