OOK modulation is performed by switching on and off the power amplifier and its regulator. The rise and fall times

of the OOK signal can be configured in register MCFG0C_PA_ramp[4..3], which controls the charge and dis-

charge time of the regulator. Figure 4 shows the time constants set by MCFG0C_PA_ramp[4..3]. Table 2 gives

typical values of the rise and fall times as defined in Figure 4 when the capacitance connected to the output of the

regulator is 0.047 µF.

The TRC103 is set to receive mode when MCFG00_Chip_Mode[7..5] is set to 011. The receiver is based on a

double-conversion architecture. The front-end is composed of an LNA and a mixer whose gains are constant. The

mixer down-converts the RF signal to an intermediate frequency which is equal to 1/8 of the LO frequency, which

in turn is equal to 8/9 of the RF frequency. Behind this first mixer there is a variable gain IF amplifier that can be

programmed from maximum gain to 13.5 dB less in 4.5 dB steps with the MCFG01_IF_Gain[1..0] register.

After the variable gain IF amplifier, the signal is down-converted into two I and Q base-band signals by two quad-

rature mixers which are fed by reference signals at 1/8 the LO frequency. These I and Q signals are then filtered

and amplified before demodulation. The first filter is a second-order passive R-C filter whose bandwidth can be

programmed to 16 values with the register RXCFG10_LP_filt[7..4]. The second filter can be configured as either

a third-order Butterworth active filter which acts as a low-pass filter for the zero-IF FSK configuration, or as a pol-

yphase band-pass filter for the low-IF OOK configuration. To select Butterworth low-pass filter operation, bit

RXCFG12_PolyFilt_En[7] is set to 0. The bandwidth of the Butterworth filter can be programmed to 16 values

with the register RXCFG10_BW_Filt[3..0]. The low-IF configuration must be used for OOK modulation. This con-

figuration is enabled when the bit RXCFG12_PolyFilt_En[7] is set to 1. The center frequency of the polyphase

filter can be programmed to 16 values with the register RXCFG11_PolyFilt[7..4]. The bandwidth of the filter can

be programmed with the register RXCFG10_BW_Filt[3..0]. In OOK mode, the value of the low-IF is equal to the

deviation frequency defined in register MCFG02_Freq_dev. In addition to channel filtering, the function of the

polyphase filter is to reject the image. Figure 5 below shows the two configurations of the second IF filter. In the

Butterworth configuration, FCBW is the 3 dB cutoff frequency. In the polyphase band-pass configuration FOPP is the

center frequency given by RXCFG11_PolyFilt[7..4], and FCPP is the upper 3 dB bandwidth of the filter whose off-

set, referenced to FOPP, is given by RXCFG10_BW_Filt[3..0].
