A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate layer for the RF signal is recommended. Keep the RF signal path as short as possible and avoid vias under the RF components.
Adjust the PATABLE register to set the transmission power. A higher value increases the transmission power, but be careful not to exceed the maximum allowed power in your region.
Use the FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) mode and configure the frequency hopping sequence using the FHSS_CFG register. Ensure that the frequency hopping sequence is synchronized between transmitter and receiver.
Check the receiver's input impedance, ensure proper antenna matching, and verify that the receiver is not saturated. Also, check for interference from other devices and ensure that the receiver is properly calibrated.
Yes, CC110LRGPT can be used with an external crystal oscillator. Connect the crystal oscillator to the XOSC_Q1 and XOSC_Q2 pins, and configure the XOSC register accordingly.
