16 kHz/Manchester with a level of -106 dBm + 3 dB = -103 dBm which is
3 dB above the sensitivity level. The figures show how much a continuous wave signal
can be larger than -103 dBm until the BER is higher than 10
-3 . The measurements were
done at the 50
Ω
input according to Figure 7 on page 10. At 1 MHz, for example, the
blocker can be 56 dB higher than -103 dBm which is -103 dBm + 56 dB = -47 dBm.
These values, together with the good intermodulation performance, avoid the need for a
SAW filter in the key fob application.

Figure 11 on page 14 shows the blocking measurement close to the received frequency
to illustrate the selectivity and image rejection. This measurement was done 6 dB above
the sensitivity level with a useful signal of 433.92 MHz/FSK/20kBaud/±16 kHz/
Manchester with a level of -106 dBm + 6 dB = -100 dBm. The figure shows to which
extent a continuous wave signal can surpass -100 dBm until the BER is higher than
10
-3 . For example, at 1 MHz the blocker can than be 59 dB higher than -100 dBm which
is -100 dBm + 59 dB = -41 dBm.
