8 PA Table

The PA table for the various devices is provided in SmartRF Studio. The txpower values used in the table are selected to provide the lowest possible device-to-device variation. In addition, the txpower setting has a built-in temperature compensation that gives a very low output variation as a function of temperature.

The PA used is designed to be highly effective on maximum power. With maximum power, the PA is in saturation and because of this, the device-to-device variation is low. For lower power settings, the PA is in the linear region and the output power is dependent on the transistor gain, which has a higher device-to-device variation.
