At frequencies higher than 10 kHz, some packet loss may be observed and the impact will increase with the frequency.</p> <p>Packet loss is caused by power supply noise, not in-band RF noise.&nbsp;</p> <p>At 10 MHz, the receiver performance will be severely degraded, especially for the pins near the radio (ANT pin)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/380487?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 08 Aug 2022 02:52:23 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3d9199da-c3ca-4351-84e2-58fc5969ad2cjhc<p>Hello, thanks for your reply.</p> <p></p> <p>Do you have relevant test reports or documents for our reference?</p> <p>We want to know how high the packet loss rate is caused by the interference generated by erroneously using LOW-FREAUQCY IO as HIGH-FREQUENCE.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/380075?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 04 Aug 2022 10:09:56 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:9129364f-1dc9-4b66-9957-57d83b9a8c11Poplar<p>Hi Vidar</p> <p>could you please show us in detail? for example, we assigned the pins to emulate SPI function, the frequency is about 10MHz, even we need to consider the harmonics, from 10Mhz to 2.4Ghz is so far, how could the RF performance be degraded by this?</p> <p>and, if we do so, how worse would it be compared without doing that?</p> <p></p> <p>thanks.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/379485?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 01 Aug 2022 10:05:57 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4cc4dbad-ae70-4704-9351-60a6cfe821bfVidar Berg<p>Hello,</p> <p>The recommendation is given to avoid or reduce potential interference of the RADIO.</p> [quote user=""]for instance, UART with baudrate 115200 should not be assigned to these low-frequency IO?[/quote] <p>Yes, you should not select any of the low-frequency IOs if the UART is going to be used while the RADIO is operating.
