LMR2
1 / 11Páginas

The LMT2 transmitter and LMR2 receiver modules offer a multi channel, low power, and reliable data link. This makes the LMT2/LMR2 pair ideally suited to those low power applications where existing wideband modules have insufficient range, or where low cost multichannel operation is needed without compromising on RF specification or regulatory requirement. ■ Conforms to EN 300 220-3 and EN 301 489-3 ■ High performance double superhet. PLL synthesizer with TCXO ■ quasi-dc (peak sampling) data recovery circuit (for enhanced performance on unbalanced datastreams) ■ SAW front-end filter ■ Data rates up to 5 kbps for standard module ■ Usable range over 1 km ■ Fully screened. Low profile ■ Feature-rich interface (RSSI, analogue and digital baseband) ■ Re-programmable via RS232 interface ■ Low power requirements Applications ■ Handheld terminals ■ EPOS equipment, barcode scanners ■ Data loggers ■ Industrial telemetry and telecommand ■ In-building environmental monitoring and control ■ High-end security and fire alarms ■ DGPS systems ■ Vehicle data up/download ■ Heavy vehicle/machinery controls Technical Summary ■ Operating frequency: 433.875-434.650MHz (EU band) 458.525 - 459.1MHz (UK band) ■ Other custom UHF bands ■ 32 channels ■ T ransmit power: +10dBm (10mW) / +20dBm (100mW) ■ Supply range: 3.1 - 15V (TX @ 10mW and RX), 4.1 - 15V (TX @ 100mW) ■ Current consumption: 34mA @ 10mW, 90mA @ 100mW (transmit) and 20mA (receive) ■ Data bit rate: 5kbps max.

1.6mm Figure 3: LMT2 footpint (top view) 1. Serial programming is by an inverted, CMOS logic level, 2400 baud RS232 datastream applied to the P0 pin. 2. Channel select inputs have pullups (50kQ) to 3v internal rail. Do not exceed 3V logic levels on this port. 3. Channel select inputs are active low 6. The pins 5a/b are not present, but are included in footprint for compatibility with other units in this family 7. In the 'off' state a PIN switch open circuits the RF output pin. There are no 'off' state spuri. 8. 10mW unit will operate (with marginally reduced specifications and lower (6-8mW)...

Channel select inputs have pullups (50kQ) to 3v internal rail. Do not exceed 3v logic levels on this port. 3. Channel select inputs are active low 5. Data recovery circuit used for RXD is not a simple 'average and compare' type. It is a peak sampling quasi-DC coupled design, allowing a greater than usual flexibility in data format. 6. Unit will operate (with marginally reduced specifications) from a 3.0v rail. This must be well...

aa = a two digit channel number from 00 to 31 nnnnn = synthesizer N register value (up to 65535) rrrr = synthesizer R register value (up to 16383) Note: A pause of at least 50ms must be allowed between command strings (EEPROM programming time). SINGLE mode does not store the N value in EEPROM. Therefore the unit is inoperative after a power down until either another valid SINGLE command is received, or mode is changed by a GOCHAN, SETPAR or SETSER command. SINGLE mode is intended for frequency agile applications. Radiometrix Ltd LMT2/LMR2 Data Sheet page 6

RX Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) The LMR2 has wide range RSSI that measures the strength of an incoming signal over a range of 60dB or more. This allows assessment of link quality and available margin and is useful when performing range tests. The output on pin 5b of the module has a standing DC bias of up to 0.5V with no signal, rising to 2.5V at maximum indication (RF input levels of -40dBm and above). AVmin-max is typically 2V and is largely independent of standing bias variations. Output impedance is 40kQ. Pin 5b can drive a 100jjA meter directly, for simple monitoring....

The antenna choice and position directly controls the system range. Keep it clear of other metal in the system, particularly the 'hot' end. The best position by far, is sticking out the top of the product. This is often not desirable for practical/ergonomic reasons thus a compromise may need to be reached. If an internal antenna must be used, try to keep it away from other metal components, particularly large ones like transformers, batteries and PCB tracks/earth plane. The space around the antenna is as important as the antenna itself. 0.5 mm enameled copper wire close wound on 3.2 mm...
