Image Transfer App Range Test

[bsarica]

Hi Developer Team,

First of all, I am sorry to bother you so often. I was able to replicate the image transfer app. I test the advertisement method with Long Range and Default. I approximately get 100m for Long Range and 50m for Default. I am giving that advertisement_init method in the below images. Is it normal to find out these ranges or am I mistaken something?

Thanks for your patience

Hi,

I am giving that advertisement_init method in the below images. Is it normal to find out these ranges or am I mistaken something?

The method looks correct. And about double range going from 1M to Coded PHY is expected.

There are lot of factors work when it needs to be considered the range such as RF environment, antenna design, tuning, electromagnetic noise

Firstly, thank you for your answer. Are there any options to increase the range in the software development process (in the code) other than increasing the TX Power? If not, can I increase the 8dbm max tx power to higher values using a power amplifier?

Thank You.

Hi,

From a SW point, the only option is to increase the TX power. And yes, if you have an external power amplifier chip, you can use that to get higher than 8 dbm tx power.

Thank you for your quick response. Have a good day!
