The 12-bit parameter F (bits f11 to f0) should be in the range of 96 and 3903. When F value sent is out of range, the previous value is kept. The synthesizer center frequency f0 can be calculated as:

f0 = 10 · C1 · (C2 + F/4000) [MHz]

The constants C1 and C2 are determined by the selected band as:

The actual bit rate in transmit mode and the expected bit rate of the received data stream in receive mode is determined by the 7-bit parameter R (bits r6 to r0) and bit cs.

BR = 10000 / 29 / (R+1) / (1+cs · 7) [kbps]

In the receiver set R according to the next function:

R= (10000 / 29 / (1+cs · 7) / BR) – 1, where BR is the expected bit rate in kbps.

Apart from setting custom values, the standard bit rates from 600 bps to 115.2 kbps can be approximated with small error.

Data rate accuracy requirements:

 

Clock recovery in slow mode: ΔBR/BR < 1/(29 · Nbit )

Clock recovery in fast mode: ΔBR/BR < 3/(29 · Nbit )

BR is the bit rate set in the receiver and ΔBR is the bit rate difference between the transmitter and the receiver. Nbit is the maximum number of consecutive ones or zeros in the data stream. It is recommended for long data packets to include enough 1/0 and 0/1 transitions, and to be careful to use the same division ratio in the receiver and in the transmitter.
