 In my application I use 5 devices and 1 host to communicate.
I have only a few packets to transfer so the data rate can be low (22Byte/transmission).
The devices wake up between 1x/day and 2x/seconds (that&amp;#39;s possible, normally it is about every</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 17 Sep 2014 11:40:26 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/3774/gazell-maximum-range-by-minimum-power" /><item><title>RE: Gazell: maximum range by minimum power</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/13661?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 17 Sep 2014 11:40:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:76c8f09a-8e8b-4316-acea-e95653efd764</guid><dc:creator>Richard</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;To reduce this, try reducing the channel tab size to for instance 3 channels on device and host.&amp;quot;
Thats it. Thank you, now i have only 4ms burst current:)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Gazell: maximum range by minimum power</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/13660?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Sep 2014 11:37:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:df98705f-a46a-41a8-913c-01367d076594</guid><dc:creator>H&amp;#229;kon Alseth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you&amp;#39;re sending data just once in a while, like 1 time per second or every minute, the gazell protocol will not be able to keep sync properly and you will get re-transmits due to the device trying to &amp;quot;hit&amp;quot; the hosts listening channel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7 re-transmits sounds normal in such a scenario, depending on what the channel tab size you&amp;#39;re using.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To reduce this, try reducing the channel tab size to for instance 3 channels on device and host.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can get caps in a very small package (0402) in the low micro-farad range.
We recommend not having more than 100 mV drop on VDD, so you&amp;#39;re on the right track.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers,
Håkon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
