After the first Tx setup rising edge, the user must then continuously send a pulse train of Tx setup signals until the hop edge in which the
Tx frame begins on air. After this, the user can maintain any number of consecutive Tx frames, as long as the Tx setup is continuously
toggled. After the pulse train of Tx setup stops (meaning a hop edge without a preceding Tx setup rising edge), the Tx channel is powered
down at the next hop edge. A subsequent Tx setup begins the process again.
This example shows a four-frame delay, with the Tx frame starting on air at the fifth frame after the first Tx setup rising edge.
To account for the transition period between consecutive frames, the user may want to pad their valid data with guard symbols. In the
example, this is marked by the grey boxes. If the user desires, they can pad their data to keep the transition and dwell times consistent.
This is because the transition required for the first Tx frame is greater than that required for consecutive frames.
The user also has the option to program the riseToAnalogOn timing parameter to 0, indicating the analog powerup can be powered up
immediately after the hop edge. Then they can time their data to the antenna based on when they drop the Tx setup rising edge and start
transmitting data.
For LO muxing case, Tx setup falling edge marks the beginning of the interface. txAnalogPowerOnFrameDelay starts when hop signal
first samples a High of Tx setup signal with value of 3, then decrement to 0 with edge coming hop edge. When reaching 0, it waits another
frame before Tx analog is powered on. The value will remain 0 until Tx is sampled with low, and the value will be set back to 4
