5.5.3. Automatic Gain Control In FSK/OOK Mode
The AGC feature allows receiver to handle a wide Rx input dynamic range from the sensitivity level up to maximum input
level of 0 dBm or more, whilst optimizing the system linearity.
The following table shows typical NF and IIP3 performances for the SX1272/73 LNA gains available.
