Returns

• sl_status_t. See https://docs.silabs.com/gecko-platform/4.1/common/api/group-status for details.

Note

sl_wifi_update_gain_table#

sl_status_t sl_wifi_update_gain_table (uint8_t band, uint8_t bandwidth, uint8_t * payload, uint16_t payload_len)

Assign the user configurable channel gain values in different regions to the module from user.

• Pre-conditions:

  • This method is used for overwriting default gain tables that are present in firmware.

• Pre-conditions:

  • Customer can load all the three gain tables (i.e., 2.4GHz-20Mhz, 5GHz-20Mhz, 5GHz-40Mhz) one the after other by changing band and bandwidth values.

• Pre-conditions:

  • This is a blocking API.

• Pre-conditions:

  • sl_wifi_init should be called before this API.

Returns

• sl_status_t. See https://docs.silabs.com/gecko-platform/4.1/common/api/group-status for details.

Note

• 1. This frame must be used only by customers who have done FCC/ETSI/TELEC/KCC certification with their own antenna. Silicon Labs is not liable for inappropriate usage of this frame that may result in violation of FCC/ETSI/TELEC/KCC or any certifications.

  2. Internally, firmware maintains two tables: Worldwide table & Region-based table. Worldwide table is populated by the firmware with max power values that the chip can transmit and meet target specs like EVM. Region-based table has a default gain value set.

  3. When certifying with user antenna, the Region has to be set to Worldwide and sweep the power from 0 to 21 dBm. Arrive at a max power level that will pass certifications, especially band-edge.

  4. The FCC/ETSI/TELEC/KCC max power level should be loaded in an end-to-end mode via WLAN User Gain table. This has to be called done for every boot-up as this information is not saved inside the flash. Region-based user gain table sent by the application is copied onto the Region-based table. SoC uses this table in FCC/ETSI/TELEC/KCC to limit the power and to not violate the allowed limits.

  5. For Worldwide region, the firmware uses the Worldwide table for Tx. For other regions (FCC/ETSI/TELEC/KCC), the firmware uses the min value out of the Worldwide & Region-based table for Tx. Also, there will be part to part variation across the chips. Offsets that are estimated during the flow of manufacture will be applied as correction factor during normal mode of operation.

  6. In a 2.4 Ghz band, 40 Mhz is not supported.
