Available for operation in the 868-870MHz band in Europe and the 902–928MHz band in  
North America, both modules combine full screening with internal filtering to ensure EMC  
compliance by minimising spurious radiation and susceptibility. The TX3A & RX3A will suit  
one-to-one and multi-node wireless links in such applications as car and building security,  
EPOS and inventory tracking, remote industrial process monitoring and data networks.  
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 TX3A transmitter module uses a frequency modulated crystal-locked PLL and operates  
between 2.2V and 16V at a current of 7.5mA nominal. At 3V supply it delivers nominally  
0dBm (1mW) RF output. The SIL style TX3A measures 32 x 12 x 3.8 mm, excluding pins.  
The RX3A module is a single conversion FM superhet receiver capable of handling data rates  
of up to 64kbps. It will operate from a supply of 2.7V to 16V and draws 11mA when receiving.  
The RX3 features a fast power-up time for effective duty cycle power saving and a signal  
strength (RSSI) output with 60dB of range. Full screening and a SAW front-end filter give  
good immunity to interference. The SIL style RX3A measures 48 x 17.5 x 4.5 mm, excluding  
pins.

Applications information  
Power supply requirements  
Both modules incorporate a built-in regulator which delivers a constant 2.8V to the module  
circuitry when the external supply voltage is 2.85V or greater, with 40dB or more of supply  
ripple rejection. This ensures constant performance up to the maximum permitted supply rail  
and removes the need for external supply decoupling except in cases where the supply rail is  
extremely poor (ripple/noise content >0.1Vp-p).  
Note, however, that for supply voltages lower than 2.85V the regulator is effectively  
inoperative and supply ripple rejection is considerably reduced. Under these conditions the  
ripple/noise on the supply rail should be below 10mVp-p to avoid problems. If the quality of the  
supply is in doubt, it is recommended that a 10µF low-ESR tantalum or similar capacitor be  
added between the module supply pin (Vcc) and ground, together with a 10series feed  
resistor between the Vcc pin and the supply rail.  
The Enable pin allows the module to be turned on or off under logic control with a constant  
DC supply to the Vcc pin. The module current in power-down mode is less than 1µA.  
NOTE: If this facility is used, the logic control signal must have a slew rate of 40mV/µs or  
more. Slew rates less than this value may cause erratic operation of the on-board regulator  
and therefore the module itself.  
Radiometrix Ltd, TX3A & RX3A Data Sheet  
page 6  
The TX3A incorporates a low voltage shutoff circuit which prevents any possibility of erratic  
operation by disabling the RF output if the supply voltage drops below 2.2V (±5%). This  
feature is self-resetting, i.e. restoring the supply to greater than 2.2V will immediately restore  
full RF output from the module.  
TX3A modulation requirements  
The module will produce the specified FM deviation with a TXD input to pin 7 of 2.5V  
amplitude, i.e. 0V “low”, 2.5V “high”. Reducing the amplitude of the data input from this value  
(usually as a result of reducing the supply voltage) reduces the transmitted FM deviation to  
typically ±25kHz at the lower extreme of 2.2V. The receiver will cope with this quite happily  
and no significant degradation of link performance should be observed as a result.  
Where standard 2-level digital data is employed with a logic “low” level of 0V ±0.2V, the logic  
“high” level applied to TXD may be any value between +2.5V and +3V for correct operation.  
However, if using multi-level or analogue signalling the maximum positive excursion of the  
modulation applied to TXD must not exceed +2.5V or waveform distortion will result. If the  
input waveform exceeds this level a resistive potential divider should be used at the TXD  
input to reduce the waveform amplitude accordingly. This input is high impedance (>100k)  
and can usually be ignored when calculating required resistor values.  
Data formats and range extension  
The TX3A data input is normally driven directly by logic levels but will also accept analogue  
drive (e.g. 2-tone signalling). In this case it is recommended that TXD (pin 7) be DC-biased to  
1.25V with the modulation ac-coupled and limited to a maximum of 2.5Vp-p to minimise  
distortion over the link. The varactor modulator in the TX3A introduces some 2nd harmonic  
distortion which may be reduced if necessary by predistortion of the analogue waveform. At  
the other end of the link the RX3A AF output is used to drive an external decoder directly.  
Both the AF output on pin 8 and the RXD output on pin 9 of the RX3A are “true” sense, i.e. as  
originally fed to the transmitter.  
Although the modulation bandwidth of the TX3A extends down to DC, as does the AF output  
of the RX3A, it is not advisable to use data containing a DC component. This is because  
frequency errors and drifts between the transmitter and receiver occur in normal operation,  
resulting in DC offset errors on the RX3A audio output.  
The RX3A incorporates a low pass filter which works in conjunction with similar filtering in  
the TX3A to obtain an overall system bandwidth of 32kHz. This is suitable for transmission of  
data at raw bit rates up to 10kbps and 64kbps, depending on the receiver version. To keep  
settling times within reasonable limits for the data speed in use, the adaptive data slicer in  
the RX3A is subject to a maximum time limit between data transitions (see page 5). This  
limitation must be taken into account when choosing a code format. It is strongly  
recommended that a reasonably balanced code containing no long 1s or 0s (such as  
Manchester or similar) is employed.  
In applications such as longer range fixed links where data speed is not of primary  
importance, a significant increase in range can be obtained by using the slowest possible data  
rate together with filtering to reduce the receiver bandwidth to the minimum necessary. In  
these circumstances, because of the limitations of the internal data slicer it is better to use the  
RX3A audio output to drive an external filter and data slicer.  
Radiometrix Ltd, TX3A & RX3A Data Sheet  
page 7  
RX3A Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)  
The RX3A receiver incorporates a wide range RSSI which measures the strength of an  
incoming signal over a range of 60dB or more. This allows assessment of link quality and  
available margin and is useful when performing range tests.  
The output on pin 5 of the module has a standing DC bias of typically 0.25V with no signal,  
rising to 1.1V at maximum indication. The RSSI output source impedance is high (~50k) and  
external loading should therefore be kept to a minimum.  
Typical RSSI characteristic is as shown below:

Fig.7: RX3A RSSI response curve  
To ensure a reasonably fast response the RSSI has limited internal decoupling of 1nF to  
ground. This may result in a small amount of ripple on the DC output at pin 5 of the module.  
If this is a problem further decoupling may be added, in the form of a capacitor from pin 5 to  
ground, at the expense of response speed. For example, adding 10nF here will increase RSSI  
response time from 100µs to around 1ms. The value of this capacitor may be increased without  
limit.  
Radiometrix Ltd, TX3A & RX3A Data Sheet

Expected range  
Predicting the range obtainable in any given situation is notoriously difficult since there are  
many factors involved. The main ones to consider are as follows:  
Type and location of antennas in use (see below)  
Type of terrain and degree of obstruction of the link path  
Sources of interference affecting the receiver  
“Dead” spots caused by signal reflections from nearby conductive objects  
Data rate and degree of filtering employed (see page 7)  
Assuming the maximum 64kbps data rate and unobstructed  
transmitter and receiver, the following ranges may be used as a rough guide only:  
¼-wave whip antennas on both  
1) Cluttered/obstructed environment, e.g. inside a building  
2) Open, relatively unobstructed environment  
:
:
25-75m  
100-300m  
It must be stressed that range obtained in practice may lie outside these figures. Range tests  
should always be performed before assuming that a particular range can be achieved  
in any given application.  
Antenna considerations and options  
The choice and positioning of transmitter and receiver antennas is of the utmost importance  
and is the single most significant factor in determining system range. The following notes  
apply particularly to integral antennas and are intended to assist the user in choosing the  
most effective arrangement for a given application.  
Nearby conducting objects such as a PCB or battery can cause detuning or screening of the  
antenna which severely reduces efficiency. Ideally the antenna should stick out from the top of  
the product and be entirely in the clear, however this is often not desirable for  
practical/ergonomic reasons and a compromise may need to be reached. If an internal antenna  
must be used try to keep it away from other metal components and pay particular attention to  
the “hot” end (i.e. the far end), as this is generally the most susceptible to detuning. The space  
around the antenna is as important as the antenna itself.  
Microprocessors and microcontrollers tend to radiate significant amounts of radio frequency  
hash, which can cause desensitisation of the receiver if its antenna is in close proximity.  
900MHz region is generally less prone to this effect than lower frequencies, but problems can  
still arise. Things become worse as logic speeds increase, because fast logic edges are capable  
of generating harmonics across the UHF range which are then radiated effectively by the PCB  
tracking. In extreme cases system range can be reduced by a factor of 3 or more. To minimise  
any adverse effects, situate the antenna and module as far as possible from any such circuitry  
and keep PCB track lengths to the minimum possible. A ground plane can be highly effective  
in cutting radiated interference and its use is strongly recommended.  
A simple test for interference is to monitor the receiver RSSI output voltage, which should be  
the same regardless of whether the microcontroller or other logic circuitry is running or in  
reset.  
Radiometrix Ltd, TX3A & RX3A Data Sheet  
page 9  
Depending on the application and bearing in mind applicable legal requirements (see p.11), a  
variety of antenna types may be used with the TX3A and RX3A.  
Integral antennas generally do not perform as well as externally mounted types, however  
they result in physically compact equipment and are the preferred choice for portable  
applications. The following can be recommended:  
Whip (¼-wave). This consists simply of a piece of wire or rod connected to the module at one  
end. The lengths given below are from module pin to antenna tip including any  
interconnecting wire or tracking. This antenna is quite simple and performs well, especially if  
used in conjunction with a ground plane. This will often be provided by the PCB on which the  
module is mounted, or by a metal case.  
Base-loaded whip. This is a shortened whip, tuned by means of a coil inserted at the base.  
This coil may be air-wound for maximum efficiency, or a small SMT inductor can be used if  
space is at a premium. The value must be carefully chosen to tune the particular length of  
whip in use, making this antenna more difficult to set up than a ¼-wave whip.  
Helical. This is a compact but slightly less effective antenna formed from a coil of wire. It is  
very efficient for its size, but has high Q and tends to suffer badly from detuning caused by  
proximity to nearby conductive objects. It needs to be carefully trimmed for best performance  
in a given situation and the required dimensional tolerances can be difficult to achieve  
repeatably, nevertheless it can provide a very compact solution.  
Loop. A loop of PCB track, tuned and matched with 2 capacitors. Loops are relatively  
inefficient but have good immunity to proximity detuning, so may be preferred in shorter  
range applications where very high component packing density is necessary.

External antennas have several advantages if portability is not an issue. They can be  
optimised for individual circumstances and may be mounted in relatively good RF locations  
away from sources of interference, being connected to the equipment by coax feeder. Apart  
from the usual whips, helicals etc, low-profile types such as microstrip patches can be very  
effective at these frequencies. Suitable antennas are available from many different sources  
and are generally supplied pre-tuned to the required frequency.  
Type Approval requirements: Europe  
The modules are verified to comply with European harmonised standard EN 300 220-3 and  
EMC standard EN 301 489-3 by United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredited  
Test Laboratory. The modules are CE Certified by independent Notified Body. The following  
provisos apply:  
1) The modules must not be modified or used outside their specification limits.  
2) The modules may only be used to transfer digital or digitised data. Analogue speech and/or  
music are not permitted.  
3) The TX3A must not be used with gain antennas such as multi-element Yagi arrays, since  
this may result in allowed ERP or spurious emission levels being exceeded.  
4) Final product incorporating the TX3A/RX3A should itself meet the essential requirement  
of the R&TTE Directive and a CE marking should be affixed on the final product.  
Type Approval requirements: USA  
Radiometrix TX3A & RX3A modules are sold as component devices which require  
external components and connections to function. They are designed to comply  
with FCC Part 15.249 regulations, however they are not approved by the FCC. The  
purchaser understands that FCC approval will be required prior to the sale or  
operation of any device containing these modules.  
1) Antennas must be either permanently attached (i.e. non-removable) or must use a  
connector which is unique or not commonly available to the public.  
2) The user must ensure that the TX3A/antenna combination does not radiate more than the  
maximum permitted level of 50mV/m at 3m distance (FCC Part 15.249).  
3) The appropriate FCC identifying mark and/or part 15 compliance statement must be  
clearly visible on the outside of the equipment containing the module(s).

Module mounting considerations  
The modules may be mounted vertically or bent horizontal to the motherboard. Good RF  
layout practice should be observed – in particular, any ground return required by the antenna  
or feed should be connected directly to the RF GND pins at the antenna end of the module,  
and not to the OV pin which is intended as a DC ground only. All connecting tracks should be  
kept as short as possible to avoid any problems with stray RF pickup.  
If the connection between module and antenna does not form part of the antenna itself, it  
should be made using 50microstrip line or coax or a combination of both. It is desirable (but  
not essential) to fill all unused PCB area around the module with ground plane.  
The module may be potted, provided that precautions are taken to ensure that no compound  
can enter the screening can during the potting process.  
Warning: DO NOT wash the module. It is not hermetically sealed.
