Academy for LoRaWAN®: RF Performance Evaluation Procedure

User login using third-party authentication is temporarily unavailable as Semtech learning Academy is being migrated to a new authentication platform. You will not be able to save progress until the new authentication is in place, and for now all courses are available without the need to login.

RF Performance Evaluation Procedure

The RF Performance Evaluation Procedure was created by the LoRa Alliance Certification Committee to harmonize the approach of measuring the TX and RX performance of devices on a LoRaWAN network. It is used by authorized test houses and other parties.

The transmission performance is measured in Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) and recorded as a full 3D-radiated power pattern.

The received performance is measured by reducing the power transmitted to the device and then detecting the point that the product reached a PER of ten percent, with measurements performed on both the RX1 and RX2 windows.

Tested devices are displayed on the LoRa Alliance website.
