ASH Transceiver 10 mW Power Amplifier Circuit Board

ASH Transceiver 10 mW Power Amplifier Circuit Board
ETSI SRD regulations allow up to 10 mW of transmitter power at 433.92 MHz, and up to
25 mW of transmitter power at 868.35 MHz. For those applications where maximum
range is of primary important and low operating current is not a priority, a 10 mW power
amplifier circuit can be utilized in conjunction with the ASH transceiver.
Referring to the schematic and PCB layout, note that the circuit board is general
purpose and can be used with either a TR3000 for 433.92 MHz operation or with a
TR1001 for 868.35 MHz operation. The circuit board can also be configured for OOK
or ASK operation, along with many other options. Depending on the configuration
chosen, some components will be left out or replaced with zero-ohm jumpers.
Bills of material are provided for both 433.92 and 868.35 MHz, set-up for OOK
operation at 1200 bps. This set-up emphasizes maximum sensitivity and range.
Component values can be adjusted for other data rates and/or for ASK operation as
explained in the ASH Transceiver Designer’s Guide. The power amplifier circuitry does
not have to be changed for operation at different data rates or for ASK operation.
The circuit board includes a voltage regulator to support operation from a 5 to 15 Vdc
supply. The circuit with draw up to 50 mA peak in transmit. A Vcc ON/OFF pin is
provided to allow the circuit board to be powered down. The Transmit Data Input line
is buffered by Q4 to reduce modulation drive current requirements, and is set-up for a
0 to 3 V modulation input. Q3 buffers the data output line, and can be configured as
either a non-inverting or inverting buffer (see the Designer’s Guide for information on
buffer circuit component values.) The data output signal from Q3 is nominally 0 to 3 V.
The Transmit/Receive Select pin controls the ASH mode control pins and the antenna
switch. For OOK operation, R6 and R9 are left unpopulated, and for ASK operation R7
and R8 are left unpopulated.
The Gerber files for this PCB is on RFM’s web site, www.rfm.com. The file name is
10mWpcb.zip, and can be found in the Application Notes section under PCB Gerber
Files.
