UHF narrowband transceiver module

Radiometrix has introduced a new UHF narrowband transceiver specifically suited to power-constrained applications where existing single-frequency wideband UHF modules cannot deliver the range required. Supporting data rates up-to 10kbit/s, the NTR2 module provides a low-power, reliable wireless data link. With an RF power output of 10dBm and a receiver sensitivity of -118dBm, its usable range can extend beyond 500m. Available in 434.075, 434.650 and, 458.700MHz versions, as well as customised options offered right across the 433MHz (EU) and 458MHz (UK) licence-exempt bands, these transceiver products combine effective screening with internal filtering to minimise spurious radiation and susceptibility. They conform to both ETSI EN 300 220-3 and EN 301 489-3 standards. They have an operating temperature range of -10 to +60°C. Among the broad spectrum of applications that will benefit from the incorporation of these radio modules are EPOS equipment, barcode scanners, data logging systems, industrial/commercial telemetry equipment, in-building environmental monitors, high-end security/fire alarms, DGPS systems, and vehicle data up/download systems. Their compact dimensions (57x24x8mm) and low power consumption make them suitable for use in battery-powered system designs.
