| CC112x/CC1175 operation in 274-320 MHz frequency band – Application note AN115 |
This application note outlines the expected performance when using the CC112x/CC1175 in the 274-320 MHz frequency band. The CC1120EM 274-320 MHz reference design is based on the CC1120EM 420-470 MHz reference design with changes to component values in the TX and RX path only. The application note shows that CC1120 can be used in applications targeting compliance with FCC section 15.231. |
