The fraction of a symbol period used to
change the phase can be modified with the
DEVIATN.DEVIATION_M
setting. This is
equi
valent to changing the shaping of the
symbol.
The MSK modulation format implemented in
CC2500
inverts the sync word and data
compared to e.g. signal generators.

Amplitude Modulation
The supported amplitude modulation On
-
Off
Keying (OOK) simply turns on
or off the PA to
modulate 1 and 0 respectively.

Received Signal Qualifiers and Link Quality Information
CC2500
has several qualifiers that can be used
to increase the likelihood that a valid sync
word is detected.
17.1
Sync Word Qualifier
If sync word dete
ction in RX is enabled in
register
MDMCFG2
the
CC2500
will not start
filling the RX FIFO and perform the packet
filtering described in Section
15.3
before a
valid sync word has been detected. The sync
word quali
fier mode is set by
MDMCFG2.SYNC_MODE
and is summarized in
Table
24
. Carrier sense in
Table

is
described in Section
17.4

Preamble Quality Threshold (PQT)
The Preamble Quality Threshold (PQT) sync
-
word qualifier adds the r
equirement that the
received sync word must be preceded with a
preamble with a quality above a programmed
threshold.
Another use of the preamble quality threshold
is as a qualifier for the optional RX termination
timer. See Section
19.7
on page
43
for details.
The preamble quality estimator increases an
internal counter by one each time a bit is
received that is different from the previous bit,
and decreases the counter by
8
each time
a
bit is received that is the same as the last bit.
The threshold is configured with the register
field
PKTCTRL1.PQT
. A threshold of 4
PQT
for
this counter is used to gate sync word
detection. By setting the value to zero, the
preamble quality qualifier of the sync word is
disabled.
A “Preamble Quality R
eached” signal can be
observed on one of the
GDO
pins by setting
IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG
=8
. It is also possible to
determine if preamble quality is reached b
y
checking the
PQT_REACHED
bit in the
PKTSTATUS
register.
This signal / bit asserts
when the received signal exceeds the PQT.
17.3
RSSI
The RSSI value is an estimate of the signal
level in the
chosen
c
hannel. This value is
based on the current gain setting in the RX
chain and the measured signal level in the
channel.
In RX mode, the RSSI value can be read
continuously from the RSSI status register
until the demodulator detects a sync word
(when sync wor
d detection is enabled)
.
point the RSSI readout value is frozen until the
next time the chip enters the RX state.
The
RSSI value is in dB
m
with ½dB resolution.
The
RSSI
update
rate
, f
RSSI
,
depends on the
receiver filter bandwidth (BW
channel
defined
in
Section
13
) and
AGCCTRL0.FILTER_LENGTH
