8. Board e The demodulated signal and clock are then fed back to the BER tester The BER tester compares the demodulated bit stream with the original pseudo random baseband signal The BER tester will display the number of errors measured in a scientific i e 5E 6 format Usually sensitivity is measured for a BER of 1E 3 but it is possible to use other criteria as well To find the sensitivity limit the RF power delivered by the RF generator should be decreased until the BER equals 1E 3 The RF power delivered by the RF signal generator at this point is the sensitivity figure An alternative measure of the sensitivity limit is to use a certain packet error rate e g 1 to define the sensitivity limit In this case the sensitivity limit will also vary with the length of the received packet X5 Texas SWRUO40A Page 8 of 33 INSTRUMENTS e ppcon Products from Texas Instruments 5 5 Using the SmartRF 04DK for prototyping There are two main options for prototyping The on board Silicon Labs C8051F320 USB MCU can be used or an external MCU found suitable for the application can be interfaced through the available pin row connectors on the SmartRF 04EB When using the on board USB MCU the user can utilise the examples and libraries provided by Chipcon to speed up development Please see the Examples and Libraries User Manual for more details Table 10 on page 29 shows what pins on the MCU are used for different functions If extra circuit
