BiM1T-173.225-10-HP : VHF Narrowband Transmitter 173.225MHz, 10kbps, 100mW, NZ

BiM1-173.225-10-HP Transmitter

• VHF Narrowband FM Radio Transmitter
• Frequency: 173.225MHz
• Data Rate: 10kbps
• TX Power: 100mW
• Country: NZ

Overview

• The BiM1 VHF transceiver modules offer a 100mW RF output wireless data link in Radiometrix transceiver standard pin-out and footprint. This makes the BiM1 ideally suited to those low power applications where existing wideband transceivers provide insufficient range.
• The BiM1 is a half duplex radio transceiver module for use in long range bi-directional data transfer applications at ranges up to 10kilometres. The module operates on the UK licence exempt frequency of 173.225/173.250MHz with 10mW RF output and Australian frequency of 151.300MHz with 100mW RF output. The small footprint of 23 x 33mm and low profile of 10mm together with low power requirements of <80mA (for 100mW) at 3.8V enables convenient PCB installation. BiM1 is also available as separate BiM1T transmitter and BiM1R receiver which can be used as dual-in-line equivalents of TX1 transmitter and RX1 receiver respectively.

Features

• Conforms to EN 300 220-3 and EN 301 489-3 (10mW version only)
• Standard frequency 151.300MHz
• Other frequencies from 120MHz to 180MHz
• Available separately as BiM1T transmitter and BiM1R receiver
• TX1H is a BiM1T in TX1 pin-out
• Data rates up to 10kbps for standard module
• Usable range over 10km
• Fully screened
• Feature-rich interface (RSSI, analogue and digital baseband)
• Low power requirements
