Preamble Quality Threshold (PQT)
The Preamble Quality Threshold (PQT) sync
word qualifier adds the r
received sync word must be preceded with a
preamble with a quality above a programmed
Another use of the preamble quality threshold
is as a qualifier for the optional RX termination
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

The threshold is configured with the register

The RSSI value is an estimate of the signal
