What is RF module?
Table of Contents
An RF module (short for radio-frequency module) is a (usually) small electronic device used to transmit and/or receive radio signals between two devices. In an embedded system it is often desirable to communicate with another device wirelessly.
What is RF transceiver module?
RF transceivers are electronic devices used to transmit and/or receive radio frequency signals. RF transceivers comprise a RF Transmitter and RF Receiver in a single module.
How do I know if RF module is working?
Test the circuit by putting the antenna near a source of noise, like a computer monitor, or a motor, or your wireless access point, or your laptop’s WiFi antenna, or any other radio transmitter you have that you know works. Then, put it near your RF transmitter. Try transmitting something.
How does 433MHz RF module work?
It consists of a RF tuned circuit and a couple of OP Amps to amplify the received carrier wave from the transmitter. The amplified signal is further fed to a PLL (Phase Lock Loop) which enables the decoder to “lock” onto a stream of digital bits which gives better decoded output and noise immunity.
What are RF devices?
What is an RF Device? The FCC regulates radio frequency (RF) devices contained in electronic-electrical products that are capable of emitting radio frequency energy by radiation, conduction, or other means.
How does an RF modulator work?
The RF modulator converts the video (and/or audio) output of a DVD player (or camcorder or video game) into a frequency which can be assigned any channel that is compatible with a TV’s cable or antenna input.
How does an RF module work?
An RF transmitter receives serial data and transmits it wirelessly through RF through its antenna connected at pin4. The transmission occurs at the rate of 1Kbps – 10Kbps. The transmitted data is received by an RF receiver operating at the same frequency as that of the transmitter.
How far can RF travel?
Thus the typical ranges with around 400 MHz frequency range with 1 W transmitter power are up to ~30 kilometers and up to ~80 kilometers with 10 W transmitter power. See sample picture of a RF link functional factors at the end of this document. The links can be extended by using repeater radio stations.
