https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/745/gazell-datarate-seems-very-lowHello, I&#39;ve modified some of the gazelle sample code and I&#39;ve been testing the throughput. I am basically using all the default settings and I&#39;m seeing throughput of 43Kbps. I test this by setting a GPIO just before I add a packet to the TX fifo, thenen-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 28 Oct 2013 21:43:39 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/3786?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 28 Oct 2013 21:43:39 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b0b436c8-e53c-4bf2-a23a-01018dc0afd0Charles Horkin<p>Understood, but are you suggesting that there is a 1000% overhead? I&#39;m only at 1/10th of the on-air data rate.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/3788?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 26 Oct 2013 15:14:23 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:9592bd3f-30a4-40aa-b78f-20cfa6f2ef3covrebekk<p>Just a brief comment Charles, 2 Mbps is the on-air data rate. Regardless of what protocol you use the practical data rate will always be lower, because of overhead in the packet (preamble, address, length field and CRC), radio startup times and so forth.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/3787?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 25 Oct 2013 22:10:33 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:137f93d4-2141-44cb-985d-9620ca00828cCharles Horkin<p>After much experimenting, I found that if I reduce the channel table to 2 (cut in half), my data rate doubles. When I go to a single channel, I see 200Kbps. Still not up to the advertised 2Mbps</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
