The following measurement utilizes the nRF21540 Front-End Module (FEM) connected to a Nordic SoC, which provides
1414
essential timing data via GPIO pins. The RX_EN pin manages the Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) function of the
1515
FEM. When RX_EN is low (deactivated), the LNA is disabled, signaling that receive operations are ending or the
16-
radio is being deactivated at the conclusion of a time slot. Additionally, the PDN signal indicates when the
17-
module is fully powered down or powered up during protocol transitions.
