RFW122-M-PA ISM Transceiver Module with Power Amplifier
DESCRIPTION
The RFW122-M-PA is a small PCB module which includes the RFW122-M module, besed on Vishay RFWaves* RFW122 transceiver chipset, and a Power Amplifier module. This module was created in order to provide a solution for applications that have a need of longer range than provided by the basic RFW122-M module.
The company’s products are covered by one or more of the following:
Taiwan Patent No. 155994, Taiwan Patent No.176767, USA Patent No. 6,535,545. Other patents pending
The module consists of 2 main parts:
1.RFW122-M module - Based on Vishay RFWaves RFW122 transceiver chipset
2. Carrier board which includes:
? PA chip - A half-duplex RF power amplifier module on chip with internal antenna diversity support
?A 9 pin application header for main board connection ? Tx/Rx switch
? 2 RF output ports ? RF SAW filter * Vishay Advanced Technologies ltd. - Vishay RFWaves division
(*) This power consumption is under 1 Mbps, 50 % ‘1’ and 50 % ‘0’CHARACTERISTICS
Parameter
Value
Basic transceiver RFW122-M, 1 mbps, DSSS.T ypical output power
25 dBm peak T ypical receive sensitivity - 73 dBm peak T ypical total link budget
97 db T ypical current consumption in transmit (Tx) mode (*)210 mA T ypical current consumption in receive (Rx) mode 35 mA
Averange current consumption Depending on application (usually much lower than peak due to time sharing between Tx, Rx and standby)
T ypical standby current consumption < 100 uA
Antenna diversity
Two antenna ports and an externally controlled switch, allowing the application to decide which antenna is active (space diversity implementation)
Antenna switch time Typical < 1 μs
Antenna impedance
50 ohm unbalanced
Antenna mechanical interface
Pads for soldering MMCX connectors or mechanical holes for direct soldering of coaxial cable.
Note : no cable or connector is provided with the module.Main board interface

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
RFW122-M-PA carrier board has been designed especially in order to accommodate the RFW122-M Module and the PA module, and provide optimal RF performance and minimal size. The layout has been carefully designed in order to prevent oscillaltion and RF leakage phenomena.
When connecting this Module to the main board, it is recommended to follow these guidelines:
1.When connecting the antenna/s using a coaxial cable, make sure the cable has 50 Ω impedance with low loss at
2.44 GHz (loss < 2 db/m). In addition, the soldering quality is critical for optimal power transmission. Make sure the cable ground is well soldered in at least two points. Also, make sure that the coaxial cable exposure length is lower than 3 mm.
2.The antenna/s should be placed in a distance of least 3 cm from the module.
3.The antenna should be tuned to 50 Ω at 2.44 GHz.
4.For antenna diversity implementation, the optimal distance between the two antennas depends on the antenna type and orientation.
5.DC system should be able to support high current bursts of up to 250 mA for switched TX mode. The VCC and ground should remain stable (ripple <50 mV) or else the module sensitivity can be reduced, and interference can be caused to the rest of the system. It is advised to use a separate regulator for the RF section connected directly to the voltage source and ground, and to avoid using the same voltage supply and ground connection that is used by the rest of the system.
6.Shielding - the module is designed to support a metal shield can. The can is not provided with the module.
