Frequency Region
During characterization of the PLL, frequency regions are determined. The calibration algorithms determine the frequency region that
the specific algorithm will be done in.
When user provides the frequency table, which indicates the frequencies are going to be used in hopping, the firmware maps those
frequencies into frequency regions. "Initial calibration frequency list" in this table is the list of the center frequency for each region. For
example, it is possible the user wants to hop in 20 different frequencies but this might only cover 5 regions. Therefore, calibration can be
done for just those 5 regions. This relates to the band index in the previous section. At hop time when there is a new frequency, this
frequency is mapped into a region, then the calibration coefficients are loaded for that region.
In the case the users do not want to/cannot provide a frequency table, they do however need to provide the minimum and maximum
frequency for frequency hopping operation. Once the min and max frequencies are provided, the frequency regions are determined
internally and calibration is done for those regions. However, this is not ideal for the reason that the number of regions might be large
and calibration therefore might take a longer time.
Initial Calibration Frequency Information (API)
Following parameters are not implemented yet, only an indication of what is forthcoming. The table is updated as parameters become
available.
