Data Whitening
From a radio perspective, the ideal over the air
data are random and DC free. This results in
the smoothest power distribution over the
occupied bandwidth. This also gives the
regulation
loops
in
the
receiver
uniform
operation conditions (no data dependencies).
Real world data often contain long sequences
of zeros and ones. Performance can then be
improved
by
whitening
the
data
before
transmitting, and de-whitening the data in the
receiver. With
CC2500
, this can be done
automatically
by
setting
=1. All data, except
the preamble and the sync word, are then
XOR-ed with a 9-bit pseudo-random (PN9)
sequence before being transmitted as shown
in Figure 10. At the receiver end, the data are
XOR-ed
with
the
same
pseudo-random
sequence. This way, the whitening is reversed,
and the original data appear in the receiver.
The PN9 sequence is reset to all 1’s.
Data whitening can only be used when
PKTCTRL0.CC2400_EN
=0 (default).
