3 Transmitter Theory of Operation Introduction RFM’s TX-series hybrid transmitters are specifically designed for short-range wireless data communication applications. The trans - mitters provide robust operation, very small size, low power con - sumption and low implementation cost. All critical RF functions are contained in the hybrid, simplifying and speeding design-in. The transmitters can be readily configured to support a wide range of data rates and protocol requirements. TX-series transmitters feature excellent suppression of output harmonics and virtually no other RF emissions, making them easy to certify to short- range (unlicensed) radio regulations. Transmitter Block Diagram Figure 1 is the general block diagram of the transmitter. Please refer to Figure 1 for the following discussions. Antenna Port The only external RF components needed for the transmitter are the antenna and its matching components. Antennas presenting an im - pedance in the range of 35 to 72 ohms resistive can be satisfactorily matched to the RFIO pin with a series matching coil and a shunt matching/ESD protection coil. Other antenna impedances can be matched using two or three components. For some impedances, two inductors and capacitor will be required. A DC path from RFIO to ground is required for ESD protection. Transmitter Chain The transmitter chain consists of a SAW coupled-resonator oscilla - tor followed by a modulated buffer amplifier. The SAW coupled res - onator output filter suppresses transmitter harmonics to the antenna. Transmitter operation supports two modulation formats, on-off keyed (OOK) modulation, and amplitude-shift keyed (ASK) modula - tion. When OOK modulation is chosen, the transmitter output turns completely off between “1” data pulses. When ASK modulation is chosen, a “1” pulse is represented by a higher transmitted power level, and a “0” is represented by a lower transmitted power level. OOK modulation provides compatibility with first-generation ASH technology, and provides for power conservation. ASK modulation must be used for high data rates (data pulses less than 200 μs). ASK modulation also reduces the effects of some types of interfer - ence and allows the transmitted pulses to be shaped to control mod - ulation bandwidth. The modulation format is chosen by the state of the CNTRL0 and the CNTRL1 mode control pins, as discussed below. In the OOK mode, the oscillator amplifier TXA1 and buffer amplifier TXA2 are turned off when the voltage to the TXMOD input falls below 220 mV. In the OOK mode, the data rate is limited by the 40 μs turn-on and turn-off time of the oscillator. In the ASK mode TXA1 is biased ON continuously, and the output of TXA2 is modulated by the TXMOD input current. Minimum output power occurs in the ASK mode when the modulation driver sinks about 10 μA of current from the TXMOD pin.

(ATCB). We certify that we are not subject to denial of federal benefits, that includes FCC benefits, pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, U.S.C. 862. Further, no party, as defined in 47 CFR 1.2002(b), to the application is subject to denial of federal benefits, that includes FCC benefits. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Richard L.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 November 29, 2002 RE: FCC ID: PYN22002B Attention: Gregory M. Snyder / Brian J. Dettling I have a few comments on this Application. 1 Please provide information on how the label is permanently affixed to the product. The label location file is not readable enough to determine if this information is present. 2 Please note that 15.231 devices CANNOT transmit data. This is strictly forbidden. Also please note that the operational description for this device specifically states that this unit transmits data (it states, RFM’s TX-series hybrid transmitters are specifically designed for short-range wireless data communication applications.”) The device is not certifiable under these conditions. Please correct all documentation to clearly state the intent of this device. Is it to transmit control codes to a separate device, or other purposes? Is it in a composite device? Has application for certification been done for the other part of the composite device? How does this fit a 15.231a device? If there are two separate transmitters in this system you must CLEARLY describe each specific transmitter and how it functions. This description cannot be ambiguous or confusing. 3 Please provide evidence that the antenna used with this device meets the antenna requirements for Part 15 devices. The theory of operation states that other antenna(s) can be used with this device. What antenna is it talking about, the 15.231 device or the 27MHz licensed device? Please note that no antenna can be used in a 15.231 device that has not been tested with this device. Please make this clear in the report and operational description. 4 Please note that other than a one or two sentence (very ambiguous) statement about the 15.231 device, the manual does not describe this unit. Please explain in your manual how this 15.231 unit fits into the system. 5 Please explain how this device meets the manual / automatic shut off time requirement of 15.231. 6 Please note, the manual does not appear to have any of the Part 15 required statements. Please provide a manual with the appropriate 15.19, 15.21 statements. 7 Please note that the device and label appear sufficiently large to contain the required 15.19 2- condition statement on the device. Please provide a label with this 2-condition statement. Please note that the exception in 15.19(a)(5) does not appear to apply to this device. 8 Please note, the report calls this a PYN-2202B, the label and 731 call this a PYN22002B. Please make documentation reflect the correct ID number. Dennis Ward mailto:[email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued. Please do not respond to this correspondence using the email reply button. In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must submit your documents through the AmericanTCB.com website. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to the sender.

Transmitter Block Diagram TXA1TXA2 Antenna SAW Coupled Resonator SAW CR Filter Modulation & Bias Control TX IN CN TRL1 CN TRL0 Tune/ESD Ant Tune R TXM Figure 1 4 The transmitter RF output power is proportional to the input current to the TXMOD pin. A series resistor is used to adjust the peak trans - mitter output power. Maximum saturated output power requires 450 μA of input current. Transmitter Mode Control The three transmitter operating modes – transmit ASK, transmit OOK, and power-down (sleep), are controlled by the Modulation & Bias Control function, and are selected with the CNTRL1 and CNTRL0 control pins. Setting CNTRL1 high and CNTRL0 low place the unit in the ASK transmit mode. Setting CNTRL1 low and CNTRL0 high place the unit in the OOK transmit mode. Setting CNTRL1 and CNTRL0 both low place the unit in the power-down mode. (Note that the resistor driving TXMOD must also be low in the power-down mode to minimize power-down current.) CNTRL1 and CNTRL0 are CMOS compatible inputs. These inputs must be held at a logic level; they cannot be left unconnected. Turn-On Timing The maximum time required for either the OOK or ASK transmitter mode to become operational is 5 ms after the supply voltage reaches 2.7 Vdc. The total turn-on time to stable transmitter opera - tion for a 10 ms power supply rise time is 15 ms. Sleep and Wake-Up Timing The maximum transition time from either transmit mode to the sleep mode (t TOS and t TAS ) is 40 μs after CNTRL1 and CNTRL0 are both low (1 μs fall time). The maximum time required to switch from the sleep mode to either transmit mode (t STO and t STA ) is 46 μs. Most of this time is due to the start-up of the transmitter oscillator.
