Questions and Answers

 

Description 

Reason and Solution 

Can’t 

communication 

1

The  power  supply  connect  not  well,  check  the  module  VCC  whether  it  is  out  of  maximum 

rating. 

2

The signal line connect not well, check the module SPI interface. 

3

The  settings  of  the  transmitter  module  and  receiver  module  are  not  the  same.  Check  these 

modules’ register configuration. 

4

Signal block. If the transmitter work with a high TX power, and the receiver was put at a short 

distance(<0.5m), maybe there is a signal block to make no communication. 

Communication 

distance is too 

short 

1

The application environment is too bad or the antenna is shield. Put the antenna to a better place 

outside or higher throw a coaxial line , replace it with a higher gain antenna. 

2

The  work  space  contains  a  same  frequency  interference  source,  or  a  strong  magnetic  field 

interference,power source disturbance. Try to change the carrier frequency or get far away from the 

source of the disturbance. 

3

The power supply is not strong. Check the voltage and the current whether it is enough.   

High data error 

1

The power supply ripple is too big, Change the power supply. 

2

Check the module register configuration, it is recommended to set as the CC1120-datasheet. 

3

There is a carrier frequency interference, change the channel. 

4

The antenna unmatched to the module RF interface, change another matched antenna.
