Part Number:CC1101
We have a design with the CC1101 with PCB antenna, and busy testing a proprietary MESH protocol at 433MHz. We would like to simulate hopping. The scenario is, 3 nodes in a mesh network (node 1, 2 and 3). Node 1 wants to send a packet to node 3, but we want it to be forwarded by node 2. So, node 2 must be in range of nodes 1 and 3, but nodes 1 and 3, must not be in range of each other. How can we tweak the CC1101 to reduce its range for nodes 1 and 3 so they cannot reach each other. We want to simulate this in a lab environment, where we don't need to have large physical separation between the nodes to achieve the same.
