Crystal Accuracy

Section 5 shows plots of sensitivity versus frequency offset for different data rates. The required crystal accuracy is calculated from the total frequency offset as

Equation 2. Total frequency offset = 4 × XTALppm × fRF
Equation 3. Crystal accuracy (in ppm) = Total frequency offset × 1E6 / (4 × fRF)

NOTE

The ADC spectrum in the RX chain consists of a significant DC component. This puts a lower limit on the IF frequency that can be used. For optimum sensitivity, a digital DC filter can be enabled (MDMCFG2.DEM_DCFILT_OFF =0), and the ADC DC output is attenuated. This opens for selection of lower IF frequencies thereby lower noise floor and improved sensitivity. As an example, for 868 MHz, 250 kbps 2-FSK, enabling the DC filter gives 2 dB better sensitivity, at the expense of an increased current consumption of 2.3 mA.
