4.2. FSK/OOK Modem
4.2.1. Bit Rate Setting
The bit rate setting is referenced to the crystal oscillator and provides a precise means of setting the bit rate (or equivalently
chip) rate of the radio. In continuous transmit mode (Section
4.2.13) the data stream to be transmitted can be input directly
to the modulator via pin 9 (DIO2/DATA) asynchronously, unless Gaussian filtering is used, in which case the DCLK signal
on pin 10 (DIO1/DCLK) is used to clock-in the data stream. See section
4.2.2.3 for details of the Gaussian filter.
In Packet mode or in Continuous mode with Gaussian filtering enabled, the Bit Rate (BR) is controlled by bits BitRate in
RegBitrateMsb and RegBitrateLsb
Note: BitrateFrac bits have no effect (i.e may be considered equal to 0) in OOK modulation mode.
The quantity BitrateFrac is hence designed to allow very high precision (max. 250 ppm programing resolution) for any
bitrate in the programmable range.
Tab le 18 below shows a range of standard bitrates and the accuracy to within which
they may be attained.
