long range mode modulation

[romanlh]

I connected simple power metter to ESP32 devkit and found that peak level in Long Range mode is twice smaller then in 802.11b mode.
Why? Does LR mode use multiple subcarriers and thus have to lower peak level? Any details on LR mode modulation?

(ignore smaller pulses, it is response from another module intentionally placed in proximity).
