Radiometrix revamps UHF radio receiver
RX2G UHF radio data receiver
The RX2G from Radiometrix is a miniature PCB mounted UHF radio data receiver module that is offered in 433.92MHz (UK band) and 434.42MHz (European band) models.
It is an updated version of the company's RX2A receiver and incorporates a received signal strength indicator (RSSI).
With the matching transmitter (or transmitters), this receiver allows the simple implementation of data links (in either one-to-one and multi-node topologies) at speeds of up to 64kbits/s and has a usable range of 300m over open ground.
It complies with the EN 300 220-3 radio standard and the EN 301 489-3 EMC standard due to its internal filtering mechanism, which minimises spurious radiation and susceptibility.
With a current consumption of 10mA (typical) and leakage levels of just -125dBm, it does not put any strain on the system design's power budget.
It has a -102dBm sensitivity at 1ppm BER, allowing the weakest of signals to be picked up.
The module is suitable for a range of applications, including car/building security, environmental monitoring, inventory tracking, remote industrial process monitoring and computer networking.
The RXG2 measures 47 x 18 x 4.5mm and has low power requirements.
It is therefore optimised for use in portable, battery-powered applications such as hand-held terminals.
