-'''Selecting Center Frequency:''' Functions `SetCenterFreq2GHz(...)` and `SetCenterFreq5GHz(...)` can be used to set the transceiver center frequency in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ISM bands respectively. Within these the channel number can also be selected. By default the center frequency is in the 2.4 GHz band with channel number 6 which is equivalent to 2.437 GHz. See [source:/PlatformSupport/CustomPeripherals/drivers/radio_controller_v1_04_a/src/radio_controller.h@latest#L344 radio_controller.h] for details on the different center frequencies available.

Within this the channel number can also be selected. By default the center frequency in the 2.4 GHz band is channel number 6 which is equivalent to 2.437 GHz. See [source:/PlatformSupport/CustomPeripherals/drivers/radio_controller_v1_08_a/src/radio_controller_basic.h#L36 radio_controller_basic.h] for details on the different center frequencies available.

 '''Setting Transmit and Receive Gains:''' For transmit gains first set `SerialTxGain(...)` mode to 1. Then using `BaseBandTxGain(...)` and `TxVGAGainControl(...)` set the transmit gain. For the receive gains the `SerialRxGain(...)` mode can be set to 0 or 1. If the mode is set to 1 the `RxLNAGainControl(...)` and `RxVGAGainControl(...)` should be used to serially set the receive gains. While when the mode is 0 the receive gains are set by a parallel bus `user_BB_gain` and `user_RF_gain` respectively. The parallel busses are inputs to the `radio_bridge` peripheral for each of the daughtercard slots. The second mode is generally used where there is a separate peripheral that selects the receive gains, for example an Automatic Gain Control algorithm.
 
-'''Selecting Antenna Configurations:''' There are four different antenna configurations that can be used to transmit and receive data. See [source:/PlatformSupport/CustomPeripherals/drivers/radio_controller_v1_04_a/src/radio_controller.h@latest#L336 radio_controller.h] for details on the different modes.

 '''Transmitting and Receiving Data:''' Firstly enable transmit mode on the radio by calling `TxEnable(...)`. Then the amplifier should be switched on. If the center frequency is the 2.4 GHz range then select `24AmpEnable(...)` while if in the 5 Ghz range use `5AmpEnable(...)`. The data to be transmitted should be on the `radio_bridge` ports `user_DAC_I` and `user_DAC_Q`. After the transmission is completed the amplifier should be disabled and the transmit should be disabled. For receiving data, use `RxEnable(...)` and the data would be available on the `user_ADC_I` and `user_ADC_Q` ports.
