HI Saurabh, I am using the same RF module, with following stetting are:
Consider Parameter: Tx Power : +10 dbm LNA gain : 0 dbm Data rate : 10kbps
Here the application is string current monitoring in Solar farm. Basically i am using microchip proprietary mesh stack, but in solar farm many obstacles will be there in the path of wireless module such string of panels, groung levels, etc.. Because of that i am not seeing even 40m range, but in normal testing keeping LOS maximium range i obtained was 80 to 90 meters.
My question is how to increase the range? And how did you get more than 200metres of range with same mrf89xa RF module? Datasheet itself says that maximum range is up to 120 meters..
In my study as you decrease the bit rate will get more range that's why i kept it as 10kbps and tx power as 10 db.
