| RF calibration
 | |
| ==============
 | |
| 
 | |
| {IDF_TARGET_NAME} supports three RF calibration methods during RF initialization:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Partial calibration
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. Full calibration
 | |
| 
 | |
| 3. No calibration
 | |
| 
 | |
| Partial calibration
 | |
| -------------------
 | |
| During RF initialization, the partial calibration method is used by default for RF calibration.
 | |
| It is done based on the full calibration data which is stored in the NVS.
 | |
| To use this method, please go to ``menuconfig`` and enable :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32_PHY_CALIBRATION_AND_DATA_STORAGE`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Full calibration
 | |
| ----------------
 | |
| Full calibration is triggered in the follwing conditions:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. NVS does not exist.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. The NVS partition to store calibration data is erased.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 3. Hardware MAC address is changed.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 4. PHY library version is changed.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 5. The RF calibration data loaded from the NVS partition is broken.
 | |
| 
 | |
| It takes about 100ms more than partial calibration.
 | |
| If boot duration is not critical, it is suggested to use the full calibration method.
 | |
| To switch to the full calibration method, go to ``menuconfig`` and disable :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32_PHY_CALIBRATION_AND_DATA_STORAGE`.
 | |
| If you use the default method of RF calibration, there are two ways to add the function of triggering full calibration as a last-resort remedy.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Erase the NVS partition if you don't mind all of the data stored in the NVS partition is erased. That is indeed the easiest way.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. Call API :cpp:func:`esp_phy_erase_cal_data_in_nvs` before initializing WiFi and BT/BLE based on some conditions (e.g. an option provided in some diagnostic mode).
 | |
|    In this case, only phy namespace of the NVS partition is erased.
 | |
| 
 | |
| No calibration
 | |
| ---------------
 | |
| No calibration method is only used when the device wakes up from deep sleep.
 | |
| 
 | |
| PHY initialization data
 | |
| -----------------------
 | |
| The PHY initialization data is used for RF calibration.
 | |
| There are two ways to get the PHY initialization data.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. only:: esp32
 | |
| 
 | |
|     One is the default initialization data which is located in the header file :idf_file:`components/esp_wifi/esp32/include/phy_init_data.h`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. only:: esp32s2
 | |
| 
 | |
|     One is the default initialization data which is located in the header file :idf_file:`components/esp_wifi/esp32s2/include/phy_init_data.h`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| It is embedded into the application binary after compiling and then stored into read-only memory (DROM).
 | |
| To use the default initialization data, please go to ``menuconfig`` and disable :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32_PHY_INIT_DATA_IN_PARTITION`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Another is the initialization data which is stored in a partition.
 | |
| When using a custom partition table, make sure that PHY data partition is included (type: `data`, subtype: `phy`).
 | |
| With default partition table, this is done automatically.
 | |
| If initialization data is stored in a partition, it has to be flashed there, otherwise runtime error will occur.
 | |
| To switch to the initialization data stored in a partition, go to ``menuconfig`` and enable :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32_PHY_INIT_DATA_IN_PARTITION`.
