Narrowband transmitter module goes a long way
A high-power FM transmitter claims class-leading long-range performance for a miniature narrowband module.
Transmitter/receiver handles long ranges
The GT2D is suited to applications requiring a high-integrity wireless connection or where multiple wireless connections are required at the same time.
The GT2 transmitter module measures 20 x 10.5 x 3mm and delivers 10mW of power.
The GT2HP meanwhile, measures 20 x 18.5 x 3.5mm and allows designers to select the appropriate power level for their application via its adjustable 5 to 200mW output.
The modules use accurate and reliable narrowband crystal technology and achieve datarates of up to 9600bit/s.
MK consultants offer a wide choice of preset frequencies making the modules ready for use in specific types of application; modules with custom frequencies can be supplied on request.
The transmitters require either a single 3 or 5V supply.
Due to their high RF sensitivity, GR2 receiver modules are able to operate over long ranges.
A switchable datarate filter gives either 2400baud with -121dBm sensitivity, or 9600baud with -117dBm sensitivity.
The receivers are housed in fully shielded SIL packages measuring just 48 x 17 x 5mm and feature analogue, digital and true RSSI outputs.
Supply voltage can range from 2.7 to 10V.
All modules in the Genesis 2 range have an operating temperature range of -10 to +55C and are EN300-220-1 compliant.
