Hi Vinod,
Thanks.For better understanding, I have attached our channel table which is starting from 4.4GHz to 5GHz. There are totally 6000 channels, We need to hop our radio between these channels.Our rate of hopping between these channels is 1000 hops/sec.. It means that the radio will change the transmission channel for every 1ms.

Note:
In the previous conversations, you used the term “maximum frequency change”. Does this mean the frequency difference between the current channel and the next switching channel (OR) the rate of frequency hopping (1000 hops/sec in our case). My understanding is first one. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Here is the two use cases ,
Case 1:
Let us assume that our radio is hopping from f1 (4400 MHz) to f3 (4400.2 MHz).
Q1:
Does this hopping require PLL lock + VCO Cal ?
Q2:
Does this hopping really require QEC?
Q3:
What is the minimum setting time required for this hopping?
Case 2:
Let us assume, in this case, our radio is hopping from f1 (4400 MHz) to f6000 (5000 MHz).
Q1:
Does this hopping require PLL lock + VCO Cal ?
Q2:
Does this hopping require QEC? If no, when it is need to be implemented.
Q3:
What is the minimum setting time required for this hopping?
Q4:
Does frequency separation matter when hopping?
Do let us know...
Thanks,
Muthu
