PRODUCTION DATA.
When designing the impedance matching network for the CC1020 device, the circuit must be matched correctly at the harmonic frequencies as well as at the fundamental tone. A recommended matching network is shown in Figure 5-22. Component values for various frequencies are given in Table 5-8. Component values for other frequencies can be found using the SmartRF Studio software.
As can be seen from Figure 5-22 and Table 5-8, the 433 MHz network utilizes a T-type filter, while the 868/915 MHz network has a π-type filter topology.
It is important to remember that the physical layout and the components used contribute significantly to the reflection coefficient, especially at the higher harmonics. For this reason, the frequency response of the matching network should be measured and compared to the response of the TI reference design. Refer to Figure 5-24 and Table 5-9 as well as Figure 5-25 and Table 5-10.
The use of an external T/R switch reduces current consumption in TX for high output power levels and improves the sensitivity in RX. A recommended application circuit is available from the TI web site (CC1020EMX). The external T/R switch can be omitted in certain applications, but performance will then be degraded.
The match can also be tuned by a shunt capacitor array at the PA output (RF_OUT). The capacitance can be set in 0.4-pF steps and used either in RX mode or TX mode. The RX_MATCH[3:0] and TX_MATCH[3:0] bits in the MATCH register control the capacitor array.
