GGBLAD.01.A application field and working principle.

The General GBLAD.01.A from ProExos is a RF evaluation and development kit designed for short range, low power (up to 1mW) and low data rate communication applications. It is especially suitable for low power applications like remote control, home and health care, medical monitoring, home automation, short range security and remote sensing applications. The kit is based on an advanced integrated System On Chip (SoC) that enables a low power and low complexity design.

The GBLAD.01.A consists of a module with all components including PCB, battery, antenna and transceiver, which are connected together to form a board that is easy to handle and can easily be mounted and used even in tight work spaces. The kit also includes a development kit that includes a schematic editor, an oscilloscope and various programming tools.

The kit is primarily designed for research and development related applications. The module provides a system level solution for RF applications. As it contains all necessary components, it eliminates the need for an external programmer in most applications. The board also offers effective prototyping for short range data transfer systems. It can be used for a wide variety of applications in the 2.4 GHz band such as remote control, home and health care, medical monitoring, home automation, short range security and remote sensing.

Working Principle:

The operation of the GBLAD.01.A is based on a periodic radio transmission and reception of data packets in the 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 band. The module can perform both periodic and non-periodic data transmission. The periodic transmission is used for delivering status information or control messages and involves reduced power consumption that is suitable for low power applications. The non-periodic transmission is used primarily for bulk data transfer. The module has a built-in 16-bit microprocessor, an inductor-capacitor (LC) filter, a single ended multi-mode RF front-end, a bandpass filter, and a voltage supply indicator.

The module is designed for providing power efficiency. It consists of a power amplifier and two low-noise amplifiers. The power amplifier provides additional gain for increasing the transmission range. The low noise amplifiers are designed for reducing the noise generated during transmission. Additionally, the module also has a power management unit which is designed to reduce the current consumption during its operation.

Conclusion:

The GBLAD.01.A kit is a RF evaluation and development kit suitable for low power applications. It is based on an advanced integrated SoC, and offers features such as a periodic radio transmission and reception of data packets, a 16-bit microprocessor, an inductor-capacitor (LC) filter, and a bandpass filter. The kit also features a power amplifier, two low noise amplifiers, and a power management unit to reduce current consumption. With its wide range of features, the GBLAD.01.A is an ideal kit for research and development related applications.
