ETRX357HR-LRS-R8 Datasheet/PDFRF Transceiver Modules are the basic hardware required to get started with communication over radiofrequency (RF). With applications ranging from controlling a robot or a drone to enabling data transmission, transceiver modules form a key element of any wireless communication protocols. The ETRX357HR-LRS-R8 is a particularly versatile and powerful transceiver module that can be used for a variety of data transmission projects.
The ETRX357HR-LRS-R8 module operates in the 868.2-868.8 MHz frequency range. It is based on the IEEE802.15.4g long-range wireless mesh networking standard and has a transmit power of up to 17dBm. It offers reliable performance, long transmission range – up to 2600 meters in open-air, line-of-sight conditions – and high data transfer rates.
The ETRX357HR-LRS-R8 module is an ideal solution for outdoor applications, such as communication between different sensor nodes and other environmental monitoring devices. It is a great choice for smart home or smart city projects as well. The module offers considerable flexibility in terms of connectivity options – it supports both point-to-point and star connection, as well as multipoint communication. It also offers features such as energy-saving re-transmission and network auto-routing.
The module supports both packet- and message-based data transmissions. On the packet-based transmission, data is transmitted in a sequence of individual bytes or packets. Message-based transmission requires data to be encoded in a specific format, such as ASCII or HEX, before transmission.
The ETRX357HR-LRS-R8 module is equipped with both a transceiver and a microcontroller. The transceiver is responsible for receiving and transmitting the data, while the microcontroller handles tasks such as protocol negotiation, signal-processing, error detection and correction. All communications on the module are done via a single serial port.
The module has a number of input and output ports. The RX/TX pins are used for data input and output, while the SMA port is for power input. The A, B and C ports are general purpose input/output ports, and the RS-232 port is used for connecting and controlling peripherals. The unit is powered via the SMA port and an external power supply.
The ETRX357HR-LRS-R8 transceiver module is a powerful and versatile device for any data transmission project. It supports both packet- and message-based transmissions, and offers long transmission range, energy-saving re-transmission and low latency. With its wide range of input and output ports and its ability to connect both point-to-point and star connection, the ETRX357HR-LRS-R8 is an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
