Bluband Information and Frequencies General The BluBand employs a Micrel RF505 transceiver chip designed to operate in the 902 ā 928 MHz ISM band. The transceiver is configured with 25 channels of 1 MHZ spacing starting at 903MHZ. The application only uses channel 13 at 915 MHz for all communications. In normal use the BluBand is used in transmit mode only Processor Clock ā 19.0668 MHz (processor driven directly at this frequency ā no PLL) RF Clock ā 16 MHz (915 MHz generated using VCO and phase detector) Receiver uses zero IF type architecture. Summary TX/RX Frequency ā 915 MHz Max. TX Power - 0dBm (Transceiver RF output) limited by Firmware Max. TX Duty Cycle - 0.041% Min. TX Interval - 27 seconds TX duration - 11ms
SATELLITE TRACKING OF PEOPLE LLC (STOP) Operational Description of BluBand⢠BluBand⢠The Bluband⢠is an RF device housed within a small body worn case. It is normally worn round the ankle and attached with a strap and two clips. It is powered by an internal 3.6V lithium wafer cell battery that is designed to operate in excess of a year. The cell is not rechargeable. The normal function of a BluBand⢠unit is to confirm its presence to a BluHome⢠using RF transmissions at random intervals on an approved frequency for the country of operation. A typical use for the product will be to confirm the presence of a person wearing a BluBand⢠within the confines of their home. Using a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and unique ID from the BluBand⢠device the BluHome⢠can confirm the presence and its approximate distance. BluHome⢠is an existing product FCC No. S5EBH0107A The BluBand⢠using a transceiver transmits RF pings to a BluHome⢠and in response to the ping received back from the BluHomeā¢, the BluBand⢠will behave in accordance with its configured set-up. The BluBand⢠transmits a unique I.D. as well as any prevailing alarm conditions such as tamper status and low battery. Main Components Main Processor The main processor is a low power microchip enhanced flash type. RF Transceiver The Micrel RF505 transceiver is optimized for use in the ISM 903-928 US frequency band. RF Antenna A 915Mhz PCB mounted antenna. Battery A 3.6V 1Ah Lithium wafer Cell type non-rechargeable Tamper Detect A high sensitivity photodiode and amplifier circuitry together with an infrared emitter is used to detect ambient light levels and signals from the tamper transmit circuitry.
