Hello,

Related to this post, I was trying to simulate correlation value in
avrora for cc2420. Initially, I was thinking about using SNR to obtain
BER and use it as corr value. However, it doesn't make sense to me that
it ranges between 50 and 110.

Do you have any clue/suggestion/comment of how to model the correlation
value of cc2420?

Thanks for your time,

With regards,
