The new floor threshold value found during this test should be the value used for OOK reception with those receiver
settings.
Note that if the output signal on DATA is logic “1”, the value of MCParam_OOK_floor_thres is below the noise floor
of the receiver chain. Conversely, if the output signal on DATA is logic “1”, the value of MAParam_floor_thres is
several dB above the noise floor.
A sudden drop in signal strength can cause the bit error rate to increase. For applications where the expected
signal drop can be estimated the following OOK demodulator parameters RXParam_OOK_thresh_step and
RXParam_OOK_thresh_dec_period can be optimized as described below for a given number of threshold
decrements per bit RXParam_OOK_thresh_dec_period:
For each decrement of RXParam_OOK_thresh_step:
