Abstract
Calibrating a Gaussian frequency-shift keying modulation index includes generating a training sequence of bits, shaping a pulse from the training sequence according to an initial modulation index, and converting the shaped signal to a transmission signal. The transmission signal is then either looped through a radio frequency core or processed by frequency deviation estimation hardware to determine a frequency deviation. The frequency deviation is converted to a new modulation index, and potentially a ratio between a target modulation index and a measured modulation index as a scaling factor. The process is then iteratively repeated until a threshold frequency deviation is achieved.
