• Manufacturer Part Number: SX1210
• Description: Ultra-Low Power Integrated UHF Receiver
• Manufacturer: SEMTECH [Semtech Corporation]

Table 31 suggests filter settings in FSK mode, along with the corresponding passive filter bandwidth and the
accepted tolerance on the crystal reference.
The center frequency, fo, is always set to 100kHz. The following chart shows the receiver bandwidth when
changing RXParam_Butterfilt bits, whilst the polyphase filter is activated.
Table 32 suggests a few filter settings in OOK mode, along with the corresponding passive filter bandwidth and the
accepted tolerance on the crystal reference.
After filtering, the In-phase and Quadrature signals are amplified by a chain of 11 amplifiers, each with 6dB gain.
The outputs of these amplifiers are used to evaluate the Received Signal Strength (RSSI).
Whilst the RSSI resolution is 0.5 dB, the absolute accuracy is not expected to be better than +/- 3dB due to process
and external component variation. Higher accuracy whilst performing absolute RSSI measurements will require
additional calibration.
