DA14580 Maximum Transmit Range

Hi,
I'm trying to increase the transmit range of the ble. Currently it's below 10 meters!.
How can I configure these parameters? (name of the register\define, what value I should set etc..)
I want to set it to be the maximal range possible for the BLE.

Br,
Ezza

The model I'm using is

The model I'm using is LBCA2HNZYZ Type ZY by Murata.
Based on their papers, it should reach ~70-100 meters. Please see attached photo.
How can I config it to reach that distance?

Hi Ezza,

Hi Ezza,

That doesn't depend on any settings or configurations (there is the near field mode that will reduce the transmition power into -20dbm, but you will have to activate that), all the SDK examples are using the standard transmition power of the BLE which is at 0 dbm (the TX output power of the chip). The reason that the device isn't capable of reaching higher distances is either the antenna or something on the PCB is affecting the antenna transmittion or you are not able to reach that distance due to the enviroment that you are performing the tests, the document mentions that is about 70 meters in open space with no obstacles.

Thanks MT_dialog

Hi,

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Where can I config near field mode and normal field? I need to verify that indeed it's configed to normal.

Hi Ezza,

Hi Ezza,

There is an API in order to enable it, search for the rf_nfm_enable() or you can call the rf_nfm_is_enabled() and it will return if the near field mode is enabled or not.

Thanks MT_dialog
