DESCRIPTION
The X8000 Synthesised Data Radio module can be easily integrated into existing products and provides a
flexible low cost means for transmitting analogue or digital data over distances of approximately 20 kilometres in
free space or 1 to 3 kilometres in buildings.
Signals to and from the X8000 Data Radio are presented on the 26 way PCB connector on the bottom of the
module. The transmitter section has three data inputs: one for Analogue Data (AIN), one for Digital Data (DIN)
and one for Direct Modulation (MIN). Two data outputs are provided from the receiver section, these are: Digital
Data Out (DOUT) and Analogue Data Out (AOUT). The transmitter and receiver can be switched independently
by signals (TXON) and (RXON). Additional signals are provided such as relative signal strength indication
(RSSI), RF Carrier Direct (CD), Synthesiser Locked (RDY) and Out of Lock (OOL).
The RF frequency can be set in three ways. The 6 DIL switches located at the front of the module set the default
RF frequency. This can be incremented or decremented by pulsing the input (FINC) in conjunction with the
clock input (FCLK). In addition a Serial Data Stream can be used to set the RF frequency directly and
interrogate the status of the radio.
The RF output power can be set between 5mW and 500mW by the (RFADJ) signal.
