7.2.15 SetRssiCalibration
Command SetRssiCalibration(...) sets the gain offset for the on-chip power estimation:
• TuneGx(...) (arguments 2 to 10): RSSI Gain Tune values. A tune is a 4-bit signed value, where 1lsb = 0.5dB.
• GainOffset: Global offset added to the Gain Tune values. The offset is a 12-bit signed value, where 1lsb = 0.5dB.
The power seen by the LR1121 analog front-end is affected by external components such as the matching network, or RF
switches. An incorrect RSSI results in a sensitivity degradation in (G)FSK mode and an incorrect gain selection in LoRa and
GFSK mode. An incorrect gain can result in a missed detection (packet loss) or decreased resistance to interference.
By default, the chip is calibrated for the 868-915MHz band on the LR1121 EVK.
