RC1180-MPC1

RF Transceiver Modules

The RC1180-MPC1 is a RF transceiver module ideally suited for industrial automation, wireless sensor networks, and smart grid applications. This module is a full duplex transceiver that supports both 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz frequency bands. It is an embedded low-power transceiver which includes an Application Layer Controller (ALC), a Radio Module (RM) and an Application Module (AM).

The ALC is responsible for Application Layer functions such as packet forwarding, packet formatting, error checking, and radio frequency transmit/receive. The RM is responsible for handling RF component information, such as frequencies, RSSI, LQI, etc., which can be measured during receive and transmit functions. The AM is responsible for providing support for IP over Radio, AES encryption, radio parametrization and radio scanning.

The RC1180-MPC1 transceiver module is a great addition to any embedded system. Its small form-factor and integrated interface make it easy to integrate into existing designs. It is also well-suited for new applications as it offers low power consumption, data security, and reliability. The RF transceiver module is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and is designed to operate in both 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz frequency bands.

The RC1180-MPC1 transceiver module provides a range of features and functions that make it a great choice for use in a variety of applications. One of its main features is its radio wideband frequency hopping which enables the user to select the best frequency for communication. Additionally, it offers link quality indicator (LQI) and receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements, which are both strong indications of the quality of the link between two nodes. The RC1180-MPC1 is also tunable, so the user can adjust parameters such as received signal level, RSSI offset, and modulation type for better performance.

The RC1180-MPC1 transceiver module also includes an on-board AES encryption co-processor which provides secure wireless communication between nodes. In addition, it includes a receive-only mode so the user can set up a single node to monitor a wireless network without interfering with the network. This makes it ideal for applications such as network health and security monitoring.

The RC1180-MPC1 transceiver module is a great choice for any application that requires reliable wireless communication. Its ability to operate in both 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz frequency bands, combined with its low power consumption, advanced security features, and high data rate make it a great choice for a variety of applications in smart grids, industrial automation, and wireless sensor networks.
