Maximum gain is measured to be +3.3 dB and overall size requirements for this antenna are 25.7 x 7.5 mm. Thus, this is a compact, low cost and high performance antenna.

The easiest approach to implement the antenna in a PCB CAD tool is to import the antenna layout from either a gerber or DXF file. Such files are included in CC2430DB reference design [1]. The gerber file is called “Inverted_F_Antenna.spl” and the DXF file is called “Inverted_F_Antenna.dxf”. If the antenna is implemented on a PCB that is wider than the antenna it is important to avoid placing components or having a ground plane close to the end points of the antenna. If the CAD tool being used doesn’t support import of gerber or DXF files, Figure 1 and Table 1 can be used. Figure 1.

IFA Dimensions Since there is no ground plane beneath the antenna, PCB thickness will have little effect on the performance. The results presented in this design note are based on an antenna implemented on a PCB with 1 mm thickness. SWRU120B Page 3 of 14 Design Note DN0007 4 Results All results presented in this chapter are based on measurements performed with CC2430DB [1]. 4.1 Radiation Pattern Figure 2 shows how to relate all the radiation patterns to the orientation of the antenna.

Measured Reflection at the Feed Point of the Antenna Figure 9 show that the IFA ensures less than 10 % reflection of the available power for a bandwidth of more than 300 MHz. A large bandwidth makes the antenna less sensitive to detuning due to plastic encapsulation or other objects in the vicinity of the antenna. 4.3 Bandwidth Another way of measuring the bandwidth after the antenna is implemented on a PCB and connected to a transmitter is to write test software that steps a carrier across the frequency band of interest. By using the “Max hold” function on a spectrum analyzer the variation in output power across frequency can easily be measured. Figure 10 shows how the output power varies on the IFA when the PCB is horizontally oriented and the receiving antenna has horizontal polarization. This measurement was not performed in an anechoic chamber thus the graph shows only the relative variation for the given frequency band.

Notion Operational Description for Sensor (model 0001) The sensor is comprised of individual sensing components including audio, light, moisture, and motion sensors, as well as LED indicators connected to a Ti cc2538 SOC, through analog and low frequency digital connections (DC to 100KHz) The cc2538 contains a 32 Khz RC oscillator used for timekeeping, a 16 MHz RC oscillator used to boot and for low power operatoin of an on-board Cortex M3 processor, and a 32 MHz crystal oscillator which may be used to drive the the processor, and is used as a source for the radio circuity of the cc2538. All memory for the CPU is contained on-chip. The sensor is powered from a single 3.0 volt Lithium primary cell, type CR2477N. The cc2538 including all radio functions are directly powered form the battery. The CPU within the Ti cc2538 SOC gathers data from sensor inputs and generates messages of significant events to be transmitted by 802.15.4 radio message. Inside the Ti cc2538 SOC, the FSM submodule controls the RF transceiver state, the transmitter and receiver FIFOs, and the dynamically controlled analog signals. The modulator transforms raw data into I/Q signals to the transmitter digital-to-analog converters (DACs). This is done in compliance with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The demodulator retrieves the over-the-air data from the received signal. The amplitude information from the demodulator is used by the automatic gain control (AGC). The AGC adjusts the gain of the analog LNA so that the signal level within the receiver is approximately constant. The frame filtering and source matching supports the FSM in the RF Core by performing all operations needed to do frame filtering and source address matching, as defined by IEEE 802.15.4. The frequency synthesizer (FS) generates the carrier wave for the RF signal. Modulation Process: (per IEEE 802.15.4) Each byte is divided into two symbols of 4 bits each. The least-significant symbol is transmitted first. For multibyte fields, the least-significant byte is transmitted first, except for security-related fields, where the most-significant byte is transmitted first. Each symbol is mapped to 1 of 16 pseudo-random sequences, 32 chips each. The chip sequence is then transmitted at 2 Mchips/s, with the least-significant chip (C0) transmitted first for each symbol. The modulation format is offset – quadrature phase shift keying (O-QPSK) with half-sine chip shaping. This is equivalent to minimum shift keying (MSK) modulation. Each chip is shaped as a half-sine, transmitted alternately in the I and Q channels with one-half chip-period offset. The carrier frequency is generated by a PLL from the 32MHz crystal oscillator. Carrier frequencies in the range from 2405 to 2480 MHz are supported. The carrier frequency will be one of the IEEE 802.15.4-2006 specifies 16 channels within the this range. These channels are numbered 11 through 26 and are 5 MHz apart. The radio generates an RF signal to the antenna matching ntework. The Ti cc2538 SOC and surrounding components are on a PCB with reference ground plane covering all unused area except that surrounding the antenna, as required by the antenna design. The passive antenna matching network is connected to a PCB printed trace 'F' antenna, and no external antenna connection is provided. The maximum antenna gain is 3.3 dBi.
ONE WORLD OUR APPROVAL www.nemko.com KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v05r02 (February 7, 2014) 1. Declaration of RF exposure compliance for exemption from routine evaluation limits FCC ID: 2AE5C-5280-B1 Model number: 0001 Manufacturer: Loop Labs, Inc. dba Notion 4.3.1. Standalone SAR test exclusion considerations: During normal operation, user extremities can come within 20 cm of the internal antenna and therefore product is considered as “Portable”. The 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at Test separation distances ≤ 50 mm are determined by: [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW) ÷ (min. test separation distance, mm)] × [ � 퐹퐹(퐺퐺퐺퐺퐺퐺)] ≤ 3.0 for 1-g SAR and ≤ 7.5 for 10-g extremity SAR, where f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison The test exclusions are applicable only when the minimum test separation distance is ≤ 50 mm and for transmission frequencies between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm according to 5) in section 4.1 is applied to determine SAR test exclusion Calculation based on the above formula: Separation Distance = 5 mm Conducted Output Power = -8.67 dBm = 0.14 mW Frequency = 2.480 GHz Calculation = (0.14 ÷ 5) × √ 2.480 = 0.044 < 3 The calculation is below the threshold, therefore the product exempt from the SAR test requirements 2. Attestation ATTESTATION: I attest that the testing was performed or supervised by me; that the test measurements were made in accordance with the above-mentioned departmental standard(s), and that the radio equipment identified in this application has been subject to all applicable test conditions specified in the departmental standards and all of the requirements of the standards have been met.
