In peak threshold mode the comparison threshold level is the peak value of the RSSI, reduced by 6dB. In the
absence of an input signal or during the reception of a logical “0”, the acquired peak value is decremented by one
RXPAram_OOK_thresh_step every RXParam_OOK_thresh_dec_period.
When the RSSI output is null for a long time (for instance after a long string of “0” received, or if no transmitter is
present), the peak threshold level will continue falling until it reaches the “Floor Threshold” that is programmed
through the register MCParam_OOK_floor_thresh.
The default settings of the OOK demodulator lead to the performance stated in the electrical specification.
However, in applications in which sudden signal drops are awaited during a reception, the three parameters shall
be optimized accordingly.
MCParam_OOK_floor_thres determines the sensitivity of the OOK receiver, as it sets the comparison threshold for
weak input signals (i.e. those close to the noise floor). Significant sensitivity improvements can be generated if
configured correctly.
Note that the noise floor of the receiver at the demodulator input depends on:
It is therefore important to note that the setting of MCParam_OOK_floor_thresh will be application dependant. The
following procedure is recommended to optimize MCParam_OOK_floor_thresh.
