TX2 & RX2
UHF FM Data Transmitter and Receiver Modules
The TX2 and RX2 data link modules
are a miniature PCB mounting UHF
radio transmitter and receiver pair
which enable the simple imple-
mentation of a data link at upto 160
kbit/s at distances upto 75 metres in-
building and 300 metres open
ground
.
Features:

CE certified by independent Notified Body
Verified to comply with harmonised radio standard EN 300 220-3 by accredited Test Laboratory
Verified to comply with harmonised EMC standard EN 301 489-3 by accredited Test Laboratory
Data rates up to 160 kbps
Usable range up to 300 m
433.92 MHz versions.
Fully screened
Available for operation at 433.92 MHz in Europe (including UK), both modules combine full screening
with extensive internal filtering to ensure EMC compliance by minimising spurious radiations and
susceptibilities. The TX2 and RX2 modules will suit one-to-one and multi-node wireless links in
applications including car and building security, EPOS and inventory tracking, remote industrial
process monitoring and computer networking. Because of their small size and low power requirements,
both modules are ideal for use in portable, battery-powered applications such as hand-held terminals.

Functional description:
The TX2 transmitter module is a two stage, SAW controlled FM transmitter operating between 2V and
6V and is available in 433.92MHz. The TX2 module is type approved to EN 300 220-3 for European use
and delivers nominally +9dBm from a 5V supply at 12mA. The module measures 32 x 12 x 3.8 mm.
The RX2 module is a double conversion FM superhet receiver capable of handling date rates of up to
160kbps. The SIL style RX2 receiver measures 48 x 17.5 x 4.5 mm. It will operate from a supply of 3-6V
and draws 14mA when receiving. A fast-acting carrier detect and a power-up enable time of less than
1ms. This allows effective duty cycle power saving and a -107 dBm sensitivity. This combined with a
SAW front-end filter results in an excellent RF performance and EMC conformance.

RF GND
(pin
1)
RF ground pin, internally connected to the
module screen and pin 4 (0V). This pin should
be connected to the RF return path (e.g. coax
braid, main PCB ground plane etc.)
RF out
(pin 2)
50Ω RF output to the antenna, it is DC
isolated internally. (see antenna section for
suggested antenna/feeds).

TXD
(pin

This DC coupled modulation input will accept either serial digital data ( 0V to Vcc levels) or high level
linear signals. Input impedance is 100kΩ.

The Carrier Detect may be used to drive an external PNP transistor to obtain a logic level carrier detect
signal, see test circuit. If not required it should be connected to pin 5 (Vcc).

coupling capacitor and 10Ω series resistor is recommended if a clean supply is not available.
AF
(pin 6)
This is a buffered and filtered analogue output from the FM demodulator. It has a standing DC bias of
1.2V and 400mV
P-P
base band signal. It is useful as a test point or to drive linear decoders. Load
impedance should be > 2kΩ and < 100pF.
RXD
(pin 7)
This digital output from the internal data slicer is a squared version of the signal on pin 6 (AF). It may
be used to drive external decoders. The data is true data, i.e. as fed to the transmitter. Load impedance
should be > 1kΩ and < 1nF
