nRF24L01+ Product Specification
Appendix C - Constant carrier wave output for testing
The output power of a radio is a critical factor for achieving wanted range. Output power is also the first test
criteria needed to qualify for all telecommunication regulations.
Configuration
1. Set PWR_UP = 1 and PRIM_RX = 0 in the CONFIG register.
2. Wait 1.5ms
PWR_UP->standby.
3. In the RF register set:
X CONT_WAVE = 1.
X PLL_LOCK = 1.
X RF_PWR.
4. Set the wanted RF channel.
5. Set
CE high.
6. Keep
CE high as long as the carrier is needed.
Note: Do not use REUSE_TX_PL together with CONT_WAVE=1. When both these registers are set
the chip does not react when setting CE low. If however, both registers are set
PWR_UP = 0
will turn TX mode off.
The nRF24L01+ should now output an unmodulated centered carrier.
