bandwidth
812 kHz User programmable. The bandwidth limits are proportional
to crystal frequency (given values assume a 26.0 MHz
crystal).
2.4 kbps data rate, reduced current, MDMCFG2.DEM_DCFILT_OFF = 1
(2-FSK, 1% packet error rate, 20 bytes packet length, 203 kHz digital channel filter bandwidth)
Receiver sensitivity
–104
dBm
The sensitivity can be improved to typically –106 dBm by
setting MDMCFG2.DEM_DCFILT_OFF = 0 . The typical
current consumption is in this case 17.0 mA at sensitivity
llimit.
Saturation
–13
dBm
Adjacent channel
rejection
23
dB Desired channel 3 dB above the sensitivity limit. 250 kHz
channel spacing
Alternate channel
rejection
31
dB Desired channel 3 dB above the sensitivity limit. 250 kHz
channel spacing
See Figure 17 for plot of selectivity versus frequency offset
10 kbps data rate, reduced current, MDMCFG2.DEM_DCFILT_OFF = 1
(2-FSK, 1% packet error rate, 20 bytes packet length, 232 kHz digital channel filter bandwidth)
Receiver sensitivity
–99
dBm The sensitivity can be improved to typically –101 dBm by
setting MDMCFG2.DEM_DCFILT_OFF = 0 . The typical
current consumption is in this case 17.3 mA at sensitivity
llimit.
