The maximum transmission power of CC2511F32RSP is +3 dBm (2 mW) in the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
Frequency hopping can be implemented using the device's built-in frequency synthesizer and the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer. The synthesizer can be programmed to hop between 79 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. The MAC layer provides APIs to manage the hopping sequence and timing.
Yes, CC2511F32RSP has an internal antenna, but it can also be used with an external antenna. The device has a dedicated antenna pin that can be connected to an external antenna. However, the external antenna must be designed and matched to the device's impedance to ensure optimal performance.
To optimize power consumption, use the device's low-power modes, such as the sleep mode, which reduces power consumption to less than 1 μA. Additionally, use the device's power management APIs to control the power consumption of individual peripherals and adjust the transmission power and data rate according to the application's requirements.
Yes, CC2511F32RSP can be used with a microcontroller other than the one provided in the development kit. However, the microcontroller must be compatible with the device's SPI interface and have sufficient processing power and memory to handle the device's firmware and application code.
