Narrow band vs Wide band • 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz channels is narrow band in ETSI • ETSI EN300-220 Categories for narrow bands • Low RX filter bandwidth – gives better sensitivity – gives better noise immunity – limits max data rate (9.6 kbps) • Narrow band ACP requirements (adjacent channel Power)
6 RC17xxHP-RC232 Narrow band Frequencies • 169 MHz Metering, Asset tracking, Social Alarm • 500mW high power • 433 MHz License free band (low power) • 444 MHz Metering, specific bands in DK, NO, SE • 500mW high power • 458 MHz License free in UK, high power • 865 MHz License free India, high power • 868 MHz License free band (high power sub-band) • RF module can be adapted to other frequencies
RC17xxHP-RC232 Narrowband modules • Complete RC232 protocol • Multi-channels • GFSK, GMSK, 4GFSK optional • 12.5 and 25 kHz channels • Data rate up to 9.6 kbps for narrow band • Data rate 19.2 - 100 kbps for wide band use • Output power variants – 14 dBm, 43 mA – HP: 27 dBm, 370 mA • -118 dBm sensitivity, 31 mA • 150 dB link budget (>20 km range LOS)
