 Want to consult you on PA usage, my customer wants to achieve +16dBm PA, so if he has our 840 in +8dBm TX power, only needs +8dB for the PA or we would recommend 0dBm in BLE TX power and set +16dB for the PA? Is it depends on different PA setting</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 03 May 2021 13:44:13 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/74656/regarding-pa-usage" /><item><title>RE: Regarding PA usage</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/307962?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 May 2021 13:44:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:e9ba39b1-08a2-41b1-be82-382c87ade1c1</guid><dc:creator>Marjeris Romero</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Leon,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are lower harmonics at 0dBm on the radio, so my recommendation would be to go dfor 0dBm output and add a +16dBm PA. Anyways the solution needs to adjusted and tuned for the customer, so I recommend to look for PA with +10-20 dBm range or similar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
