2 Low-Power Wireless Applications
2.1 Operational Considerations
Low-power wireless (RF) systems typically transmit less than 1 mW of power, and
operate over distances of 3 to 60 meters. Once certified to comply with local
communications regulations, they do not require a license or "air-time fee" for
operation. There are more than 60 million systems manufactured each year that utilize
low-power wireless for security, control and data transmission. Many new applications
for low-power wireless are emerging, and sales are expected to top 100 million systems
per year by the end of the decade.
The classical uses for low-power wireless systems are one-way remote control and
alarm links, including garage door openers, automotive "keyless entry" transmitters, and
home security systems. Recently, a strong interest has developed in two-way data
communications applications. These low-power wireless systems are used to eliminate
nuisance cables on all types of digital products, much as cordless phones have
eliminated cumbersome phone wires. RFM's Virtual Wire Development Kits are
intended to support the design of these types of low-power wireless applications.
Most low-power wireless systems operate with few interference problems. However,
these systems operate on shared radio channels, so interference can occur at any
place and at any time.
Products that incorporate low-power wireless communications must be designed so that
a loss of communication due to radio interference or any other reason does not create a
dangerous situation, damage equipment or property, or cause loss of valuable data.

2.2 Regulations
While low-power wireless products do not have to be individually licensed, they are
subject to regulation. Before low-power wireless systems can be marketed in most
countries, they must be certified to comply with specific technical regulations. In the US,
the FCC issues this certification. In most of Europe and Scandinavia, certification is
based on ETSI standards, and administered by the PTTs.
While technical regulations vary from country to country, they follow the same general
philosophy of assuring that low-power wireless systems will not significantly interfere
with licensed radio systems. Regulations specify limitations on fundamental power,
harmonic and spurious emission levels, transmitter frequency stability, and transmission
bandwidth.
2.3 Example Applications
Applications for low-power wireless data communications are growing very rapidly. The
following list of example applications demonstrates the diversity of uses for low-power
wireless technology:
Wireless bar-code readers and bar-code label printers
Smart ID tags for inventory tracking and identification
Wireless automatic utility meter reading systems
Wireless credit card readers and receipt printers for car rentals, restaurants, etc.
Communications links for hand-held terminals, HPCs, PDAs, and peripherals
Portable and field data logging
Location tracking (follow-me phone extensions, etc.)

2.4 FAQs
1. Why does the Virt ua l Wire
Development Kit include a packet protocol
microcontroller? Why not connect the data radio board directly to a computer serial
port?
You can hook a data radio board directly to a computer serial port (using an RS232
to 3 V CMOS level converter). However, the results are not likely to be satisfactory.
First, error detection is limited to byte parity checking, which will let many errors go
undetected. Also, the DC balance in the data can be very poor, which will greatly
reduce the data radio’s range.
Packet protocol is used extensively in two-way data communications. For example,
the Internet and digital cellular phones use packet transmissions. While there are
many packet protocols in use, they all provide a basic set of features, including an
effective means for transmission error detection, and routing support (such as a “to”
and “from” address). This allows error free data communications to be performed in
a highly automatic way. The protocol microcontroller used in the Virtual Wire
Development Kit provides error detection and automatic message retransmission,
message routing, link failure alarms and DC-balanced packet coding.
2. What is the operating range of my low-power wireles s systems?
In our tests in an electrically quiet outdoor location, we easily communicate
60 meters with the DR1200-DK and DR1201-DK. However, operating range in a
given situation is influenced by building construction materials and contents when
indoors, and by other radio systems operating in the vicinity, and noise generated by
nearby equipment. The Virtual Wire Development Kit can be taken into a target

environment and used to help gain a sense of operating range for the proposed
system. See the Appendix in the ASH Transceiver Designer s Guide for additional
information.
3. Can I communicate between more than two nodes in the same location with a low-
power communications link?
Yes. One of the benefits of packet transmissions in channel sharing. In the case of the
Virtual Wire Development Kit, each protocol board can be programmed to have one
of fifteen addresses, with address “0” reserved for messages that are broadcast to all
nodes. For example, node 1 can be transmitting bar-code readings to node 2 while
node 4 is transmitting bar-codes to node 7 in the same location. So long as the average
channel usage is less than about 12%, randomly transmitted messages will get though
without excessive transmission “collisions” and transmission retries.
3 Developing a Virtual Wire Application
3.1 Simulating the Application
There are hundreds of potential applications for short-range wireless communications
links. Because there can be so many different variables in a potential application,
simulating the application is often the best way to gain insight into its feasibility. Virtual
Wire Development Kits can be very helpful in simulating potential applications. The
following simulation check list covers issues common to most low-power wireless
applications. The user should also consider what other specific issues apply to the
application being simulated:
Maximum operating range required
Type of operating environment (outdoor, indoor, indoor building construction, etc.)
Number of nodes (transceivers) required in the application
©2010-2016 by Murata Electronics N.A., Inc.
DR-1200/1201-DK01/07/16
11 of 75
Node interaction (communications between pairs of nodes only, one master node
and several slave nodes, communications between any two nodes, etc.)
Possible on-channel interference/noise sources (ISM equipment, electrical
equipment, nearby spread-spectrum systems, etc.)
Channel usage (average and peak number of messages expected each minute,
average message transmission/acknowledgment duration, average percentage of
time the channel is in use, etc.)
Message characteristics (average and maximum length; message type such as
data, telemetry, control codes, etc.)
Antenna logistics (omnidirectional, directional, hidden, etc.)
Environmental considerations
Indoor radio propagation is an issue for special consideration. In most indoor locations,
“dead spots” can be found where reception is very difficult. These can occur even if
there appears to be a line of sight relationship between two nodes. These “dead spots”,
or nulls, are due to multiple transmission paths existing between two locations because
of reflections off metal objects such as steel beams, concrete rebar, metal door, window
and ceiling tile frames, etc. Nulls occur when the path lengths effectively differ by an
odd half-wavelength. Deep nulls are usually very localized, and can be avoided by
moving either node slightly.
Diversity reception techniques are very helpful in reducing indoor null problems. Many
low-power wireless systems involve communications between a master and multiple
slave units. In this case, the master transmission can be sent twice; first from one
master and then again from a second master in a slightly different location. The nulls for
each master will tend to be in different locations, so a slave is very likely to hear the
transmission from one or the other master. Likewise, a transmission from a slave is
likely to be heard by at least one of the masters. Hand-held applications usually involve
some movement, so automatic packet retransmission often succeeds in completing the
transmission as hand motion moves the node through the null and back into a good
transmission point.

3.2 I/O and Power Considerations
The DR1200 and DR1201 Data Radio boards require a DC power supply in the range of
2.7 to 3.3 Vdc with less than 10 mV of ripple, and a peak current capability of up to
15 mA. Quiescent current in the receive mode is approximately 5.5 mA with a 3 volt
power supply. The average current with an RF signal being transmitted is approximately 6
mA and the peak current in the RF transmit mode is approximately 12 mA. Care must be
taken to avoid reversing the polarity of the power supply since diode protection is not
provided. Another concern is ESD as static-sensitive, devices are used on the Data Radio
board. Note the Protocol Board operates from 4.5 Vdc.
3.3 Communications Protocol
Almost all two-way wireless data communications use some form of packet protocol to
automatically assure information is received correctly at the correct destination. The
protocol provided with the Virtual Wire Development Kits is a link-layer protocol, and
includes the following features:
16-bit ISO 3309 error detection calculation to test message integrity
4-bit TO/FROM address routing with 15 different node addresses available
ASCII or binary message support, up to 32 bytes per packet
Automatic packet retransmission until acknowledgment is received; 8 retries with
semi-random back-off delays plus “acknowledge” and “link failure” alarm messages.
Also included with the Kits is a simple terminal program with source code to provide an
example of interfacing host (application) software to the Virtual Wire link layer
protocol. Most users will develop specific host software to match the needs of their
application. The protocol software does not require or support hardware flow control, so
the host software will have to do some timekeeping to interface the protocol software.
Study the source code listing and comments for the details of this interface. Users
familiar with hardwired packet networks may consider the 32 message bytes per packet
©2010-2016 by Murata Electronics N.A., Inc.

limit quite small. Packets sent by low-power wireless systems are kept deliberately short
to improve performance where on-channel burst interference and low signal-to-noise
conditions are often encountered.
3.4 Antenna Considerations
Suitable antennas are crucial to the success of a Virtual Wire application. Here are
several key points to consider in designing antennas for your application:
Where possible, the antenna should be placed on the outside of the product. Also,
try to place the antenna on the top of the product. If the product is “body worn”, try to
get the antenna away for the body as far as practical.
Regulatory agencies prefer antennas that are permanently fixed to the product.
Antennas can be supplied with a cable, provided a non-standard connector is used
to discourage antenna substitution (these connectors are often referred to as
“Part 15” connectors).
An antenna can not be placed inside a metal case, as the case will shield it. Also,
some plastics (and coatings) significantly attenuate RF signals and these materials
should not be used for product cases, if the antenna is going to be inside the case.
The antenna designs used in the kit are included in the Drawings section of the
manual. Many other antenna designs are possible, but efficient antenna
development requires access to antenna test equipment such as a vector network
analyzer, calibrated test antenna, antenna range, etc. Unless you have access to
this type of equipment, the use of an antenna consultant is recommended.
A patch or slot antenna can be used in some applications where an external
antenna would be subject to damage. These types of antennas usually have to be
designed on a case-by-case basis.

3.5 Internal Noise Management
RF transceivers operating under FCC "Part 15" rules are sensitive to noise in the
passband of the receiver, because the desired transmitted signals are at very low power
levels. Commonly encountered internal noise sources are microprocessors, both for
control functions and computer functions; brush-type motors and high-speed logic circuits.
If the rise time and fall time of the clock for a microprocessor are fast enough to produce
harmonics in the frequency range of the receiver and the harmonics fall within the
passband of the receiver, then special care must be taken to reduce the level of the
harmonic at the antenna port of the receiver. If the engineer has the option, he should
choose a microprocessor that has the slowest rise and fall time he can use for the
application to avoid the troublesome harmonics in the UHF band. If possible, brush-type
motors should be avoided, since arcing of the brushes on the commutator makes a very
effective spark gap transmitter. If it is necessary to use a brush-type motor, spark
suppression techniques should be used. Such motors can be purchased with spark
suppression built-in. If the motor does not have built-in spark suppression, bypass
capacitors, series resistors and shielding may have to be employed. High-speed logic
circuits produce noise similar to microprocessors. Once again, the engineer should use
logic with the slowest rise and fall times that will work for his application.
The items listed below should be considered for an application that has one or more of
the above noise sources included. It may not be possible to follow all of these guidelines
in a particular application.
Locate the RF transceiver and its antenna as far from the noise source as possible.
If the transceiver must be enclosed with the noise source, remotely locate the antenna
using a coaxial cable.
Terminate high speed logic circuits with their characteristic impedance and use
microstrip interconnect lines designed for that impedance.
©2010-2016 by Murata Electronics N.A., Inc.
DR-1200/1201-DK01/07/16
15 of 75
Keep PCB traces and wires that carry high-speed logic signals or supply brush-type
motors as short as possible. Such lines act as antennas that radiate the unwanted
noise.
If possible, enclose the noise source in a grounded metal box and use RF decoupling
on the input/output lines.
Avoid using the same power lines for the RF transceiver and the noise source or at
least thoroughly filter (RF decouple) such power lines. It is advisable to use separate
voltage regulators, if possible.
If the antenna cannot be remotely located, place it as far from the noise source as
possible (on the opposite end of the pc board). Orient the antenna such that its axis is
in the same plane with the pc board containing the noise source. Do not run wires that
supply the noise source in close proximity to the antenna.
3.6 Final Product Testing
Any wireless data communications system must be thoroughly tested due to the
“anything can happen in any sequence” nature of wireless communications. It is highly
recommended that beta sites be chosen for operational system testing which represent
the “limit” situations the system can be expected to operate in.
Testing for regulatory certification is discussed in Section 3.7. It is recommended that
the user either establish an RF test range or a working relationship with a recognized
test lab early in the system development phase, to allow for periodic evaluation of the
system’s emissions during development. Many labs are experienced in solving radiation
problems that cause certification test failures and/or jamming of the low-power wireless
link. Identifying these types of problems early can save a lot of development time.

3.7 Regulatory Certification
Regulatory Authority - Worldwide, man-made electromagnetic emissions are controlled
by international treaty and the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) committee
recommendations. These treaties require countries within a geographical region to use
comparable tables for channel allocations and emission limits, to assure that all users
can operate with reasonable levels of interference.
Recognizing a need to protect their limited frequency resources, many countries have
additional local laws, regulations and government decrees for acceptable emission
levels from various electronic equipment, both military and commercial. By requiring
that each model of equipment be tested and an authorization permit issued after
payment of a tax (called a grant fee), the government attempts to control the sale of
poor quality equipment and also has record of the known manufacturers.
Enforcement and expectation of the local law varies, of course. USA, Canada, and
most European countries have adopted ITU tables for their respective radio regions.
Australia, Hong Kong and Japan also have extensive rules and regulations for low
power transmitters and receivers, but with significant differences in the tables for that
radio region. Most other countries have less formal regulations, often modeled on either
USA or EU regulations.
In any country, it is important to contact the Ministry of Telecommunications or Postal
Services to determine any local limitations, allocations, or certifications PRIOR to
assembling or testing your first product. The mildest penalty is often total loss of your
import, export and foreign exchange privileges.
These laws and requirements are applicable to the finished product, in the configuration
that it will be sold the general public or the end user. OEM components often can not be
certified, since they require additional non-standard attachments before they have any
functional purpose.

Unless otherwise marked, Murata Virtual Wire Development Kit modules have not
been certified to any particular set of regulations. Each module has suggested
countries for use, depending on current allocations and technical limits. Emissions from
receivers can be an unexpected problem, and the Murata modules have special
features to help with this part of the emission testing.
Product Certification - General requirements for emissions and ingressions ( called
susceptibility, if errors occur) are controlled by engineering standards of performance,
regulations, and the customer’s expectations.
In USA and Canada, for example, you must formally measure the emissions, file for a
certification or authorization, and affix a permanent marking label to every device, prior
to offering your system for sale. Regulations allow you to build only a small number
(usually 5 pieces) for testing and in-company use, before certification and marketing.
Trade shows and product announcements can be a problem for marketing, when the
products are advertised without proper disclaimers. With Internet access, go to
“www.fcc.org” for USA information or “www.ic.gc.ca” for Canada. The Canada rules are
RCC-210, Revision 2. FCC CFR 47, Parts 2 and 15, contains the needed information
for USA sales.
European Union (EU) requirements allow self-certification of some systems and require
formal measurement reports for other systems. In all cases, however, the directives
demand the “CE mark” be added to all compliant devices before any device is freely
shipped in commerce. In the EU, the EMC Directive also adds various tests and
expectations for levels of signal that will permit acceptable operation.
The EU directives introduce the concepts of a “cognizant body”, a “notification body”
and a “construction file”. Cognizant bodies are simply technical experts recognized by
the EU committees to review technical regulations and compliance. Any acceptable
test lab will have a preferred cognizant body for their certifications. Each regulatory
body will have at least one engineer designated as the notification body for that
country, and he
©2010-2016 by Murata Electronics N.A., Inc.
DR-1200/1201-DK01/07/16

www.murata.com
receives any communication about certification or changes to a certified system. While
this may seem confusing, it does avoid the legal problems of engineering titles and
varied bureaucratic ministry names.
Construction files (CF) are a common format for presenting pictures, schematics and all
other information on the parts and processes used to actually build a certified system,
The report of antenna range measurements will be included in the CF. Your cognizant
body will review the construction file before granting the authorizations for CE mark and
EU identification label on your system.
The first problem in the EU is usually Border Customs, who have been trained to look
for the CE logo marking for all products. You may need special forms or permits to
simply ship pre-production models to your test lab. The Internet web site
“www.etsi.co.fr” has information for ordering the full EU marketing regulations.
Certification Testing - The emissions are measured in a calibrated environment defined
by the regulations. USA and Canada use an “open field” range with 3 meters between
the device under test (DUT) and the antenna. The range is calibrated by measurement
of known signal sources to generate range attenuation (correction) curves in
accordance with ANSI C63.4-1992.
EU measurement rules are based on a similar arrangement, but a “standard dipole”
antenna is substituted for the DUT to calibrate the range attenuation. Since the EU
measurements are comparison or substitution rules, they are often easier to follow for
informal pre-testing by the designer. ETSI-300-220 has drawings to completely describe
a typical test configuration.
The United States and Canadian requirements are contained in ANSI C63.4-1992,
including a step-by-step test calibration and measurement procedure. Since these rules

4 Virtua l Wire® Devel opm e nt Kit Install a ti on a nd Operation
4.1 Development Kit Assembly Instructions
Kit assembly includes the following steps:
Install the antennas (or antenna cables) on the data radio boards
Set the node address on the protocol boards
Obtain and install AAA batteries in the protocol boards (power switch OFF)
Plug the data radio boards onto the protocol boards
Connect 9-Pin PC cables between the protocol boards and the host computers
Install the terminal program in the host computers
Configure the terminal programs and test the Virtual Wire communications link
Take care in plugging a transceiver board into a protocol board. The transceiver board
must be oriented so that THE BOARD RESTS ON THE NYLON SCREW SUPPORTS
AND NOT OVER THE BATTERIES. Be sure that the transceiver board pins are
correctly plugged into the protocol board connector. It is possible to plug the transceiver
board in so that a pin is hanging out on the left or right. BE SURE TO INSPECT THE
CONNECTOR ALIGNMENT BEFORE APPLYING POWER. Options and adjustments
are discussed below:
4.2 Data Radio Boards
The DR1200 Data Radio board is configured to operate at a data rate of 22.5 kbps on a
frequency of 916.50 MHz, and the DR1201 is configured to operate at 868.35 MHz. The
kits are shipped with a pair of data radio boards and matching antennas. Data Radio
boards with antennas can be purchased separately for development of applications.
Antenna Options- Antennas are supplied with the data radio boards that can simply be
soldered to the pad provided for the 50 ohm RF input (see the Drawings section of the

manual). These antennas are simple base-loaded monopoles. Alternatively, a 50 ohm
coaxial cable (RG-178, etc.) can be soldered to the RF input pad and the adjacent ground
pad(s), if a remotely located antenna is used. The remote antenna should have and
impedance of approximately 50 ohms, preferably with a VSWR of less than 2:1. A remote
antenna is necessary if the transceiver is housed inside a metal box, which is very
desirable if a noise source such as a high-speed microprocessor, high-speed logic or a
brush-type motor is mounted in close proximity to the transceiver board itself.
4.3 Protocol Board
Node Programming - The node address on each protocol board can be set from 1 to 15
by placing jumpers on the double row of pins located between the two IC’s. With no
jumpers, the node address is 1. Placing one jumper across the pins nearest to the
RS232 connector programs the board to address 2. The rule is that the node number is
the binary “jumper” value +1, with jumper pins closest to the RS232 connector being the
LSB position. The exception is jumpers on all pins, which is interpreted as node 1.
Node 0 is reserved for packets broadcasted to all other nodes. There is a node address
table in the Drawings section of the manual.
Power Supply - Each node can be operated from three 1.5 V AAA batteries.
RS232 Int erf ace - Level conversion from CMOS to RS232 levels is provided by the
MAX 218 IC. It is possible to remove this IC and jumper socket Pin 7 to 14 and Pin 9 to
12 for direct CMOS operation.
LED Functions - Three LED indicators are provided on the protocol board. The LED
labeled RXI indicates RF signals are being received. The LED RF RCV indicates that a
valid RF packet has been received. The LED PC RCV indicates that a message has
been received from the PC.

4.4 Terminal Program
Installation - The terminal program is designed to operate under MS-DOS, version 5.0
or higher, on a PC equipped with an RS232 port on COM1 or COM2. To install the
terminal program, create a hard drive directory for the Virtual Wire application and
copy the files on the enclosed disk to the directory. After connecting the Virtual Wire
node to the computer and turning the node on, start the terminal program from within its
directory by typing VWT97V02.
Configuration - The configuration file, VWT97.CFG is provided with default values as
follows:
“COM1:””19200””2” (“com port number:””baud rate””TO node address”)
The configuration file can be edited from the terminal program. To edit from the terminal
program, use ALT-S. Note that one protocol board is addressed as node 1 and the
other is programmed as node 2 when received. As a minimum, the VWT97.CFG file will
have to be edited on at least one of the host computers before the Virtual Wire link
can be tested.
Operation - The following files are included on the terminal program disk:
VWT97V02.BAS QuickBASIC (DOS) Source File
VWT97V02.EXE Terminal Program Executable File
VWT97.CFG Terminal Program Configuration File (ASCII)
VWT97V02.TXT Terminal Program Notes (ASCII)
The program uses the following control keys:

When VWT97V02.EXE begins running, the program looks for VWT97.CFG in the
current directory and obtains the COM port, baud rate and the TO node address for the
communications link. If VWT97.CFG is not present, the program requests configuration
information and builds VWT97.CFG. Pressing ALT-S will display configuration
information and allow real-time configuration editing. After reading or building the
configuration file, the program gets the FROM node address from the protocol board
and enters the terminal mode (…UNIT NOT RESPONDING… message displayed if
protocol board does not respond). The terminal mode screen includes three windows.
The top window is the MESSAGES RECEIVED window, and displays packets sent to
the local node. The bottom window is the ENTER MESSAGE TO SEND window, where
messages to be sent are input. A blinking cursor of the form “_” is provided.
VWT97V02.EXE supports “plain text” ASCII messages.
The middle window is the MESSAGES SENT window, which shows message packets
as sent (SOT [02h] and EOT [03h] symbols displayed as “” and “”), the packet
number, and the packet status. This window gives a real time depiction of how

messages are packetized and sent. Message PACKET# is 1-7 (recycling). Packet
STATUS is RX OK ON n (n is the retry number 1-8) for acknowledged packets.
From the keyboard, the user may enter text up to 79 characters per message. The
Backspace Key allows for character erasures and corrections, and the Delete Key
erases all characters entered but not transmitted. Pressing the Enter Key terminates
the message input and starts packetizing and transferring the message to the protocol
board via the serial port. Also, when 79 characters are input, message is automatically
sent.
If the Enter Key is pressed as the first keyboard action after starting the terminal
program, the default message is:
**Virtual Wire RF Link Test**
A received message is displayed on a single line in the MESSAGES RECEIVED
window, whether it is made up of one or more packets. When the whole message is
received, it is displayed. If a multi-packet message is partially received and then the first
packet of new message is received, the partial message is discarded and reception of
the new message is begun.
When text reaches the bottom of the MESSAGES RECEIVED or the MESSAGES
SENT window, the text will scroll until ALT-C is invoked to clear all windows. When 79
characters are input or the Enter Key is pressed in the ENTER MESSAGE TO SEND
window, this window is cleared and the cursor moves back to the left side of the
window.
In the event that the link between the PC and the protocol board is lost (low batteries,
ON/OFF switch off, no cable, etc.) a TIME OUT - VW UNIT NOT RESPONDING alarm
message will be displayed. If a packet is unacknowledged after eight tries, a LINK

window.
There are many other possible ways to interact with the Virtual Wire Link Layer
Protocol. The main purposes of the VWT97V02 terminal program is to demonstrate
software handshaking with the protocol and to support initial Development Kit testing.

software and software application notes.
5 Theory of Operation
5.1 Data Radio Boards
I/O Interface- Referring to the Data Radio Board schematic diagram, connector P1 is
the interface connector to the protocol board. Pin 1 is the transmitter data input and can
be driven directly by a CMOS gate. The transmitter is pulse ON-OFF modulated by a
signal on this line changing from 0 to 3 volts. A high level turns the transmitter oscillator
on and a low level turns it off. The input impedance to this line is approximately 27
kilohms. Pin 2 is a Vcc line for the TR1000/TR1001 ASH transceiver.
Pin 3 is the PTT line that enables the transmit mode. This line puts the TR1000 (or
TR1001) in the transmit mode when it is high (2.5 volts minimum at 2.0 mA maximum).
Pin 4 is a Vcc line connected in parallel with Pin 2. Pin 5 is ground. Pin 6 is unused. Pin 7
is a Vcc line, connected in parallel with Pin 2 and Pin 4. Pin 8 the data output pin from the
transceiver. This data output is CMOS compatible and is capable of driving a single
CMOS gate or a bipolar transistor with a 51 K base resistor. The last connection to the
data radio board is the 50 ohm antenna input. The antenna can either be connected
directly to the board or connected remotely by using a 50 ohm coaxial cable.
TR1000/TR1001 ASH Transceiver - The heart of the DR1200 Data Radio board is the
TR1000 ASH transceiver (DR1201 uses the TR1001). This miniature ceramic-metal

hybrid provides a bilateral digital signal to RF signal communication capability. The
following section provides an introduction to the ASH transceiver’s features, capabilities,
theory of operation and configurability:
ASH Transceiver Features
Designed for short-range wireless packet data communications
Supports RF data rates up to 115.2 kbps
3 V, low current operation with integrated power down function
Stable, easy to use, with all critical RF functions contained in the hybrid
Robust receiver performance with full sensitivity up to 1 GHz
Highly configurable with a minimum of external parts
Choice of OOK or ASK transmitter modulation
Rugged, miniature ceramic-metal package
Low implementation cost
Easy certification to FCC, ETSI and similar low-power radio regulations
RFM’s amplifier-sequenced hybrid (ASH) transceivers are ideal for short-range wireless
data communications where small size, low power consumption and low cost are
required. All critical RF functions are contained in the hybrid, simplifying and speeding
design-in. The receiver section is sensitive and stable. Two stages of SAW filtering
provide excellent receiver out-of-band rejection. The transmitter includes provisions for
on-off keyed (OOK) or amplitude-shift keyed (ASK) modulation. The transmitter
employs SAW filtering to suppress output harmonics, facilitating compliance with FCC
15.249, ETSI I-ETS 300 220-1 and similar low-power radio regulations.
ASH transceiver technology offers a rich set of enabling features in short-range wireless
applications. Key features include:
Small size - the ASH transceiver package footprint is nominally 0.28 x 0.40 inch,
with a package volume of only 0.009 in3 (146 mm3). Transceiver operating is

configured using a dozen miniature passive components, making is practical to add
short-range wireless data connectivity to a watch, pen, PDA or shirt pocket PCS
phone.
Low power - the ASH transceiver operates from 3 Vdc, drawing only 6 mA average
in transmit and 1.8 to 7.5 mA in receive (set-up dependent). In addition, the
transceiver has an integrated power-down mode to support long duration operation
from small batteries.
Robust operation - the ASH transceiver is a single-channel data radio, employing
amplitude-shift keyed modulation. But unlike simple AM systems, extensive
consideration has been given to operating robustness in the transceiver
architecture. The receiver chain includes a narrow-band SAW filter and a SAW
delay line, which together provide excellent out-of-band rejection. The logarithmic
receiver detector features more than 70 dB of dynamic range. This is combined with
30 dB of AGC, providing 100 dB of overall receiver dynamic range. Data is
recovered from the detected base-band signal using a compound data slicer which
provides both excellent threshold sensitivity for low-level signals and good rejection
of interference 8-10 dB below the peak level of stronger desired signals. Operating
robustness is inherent in the signal processing of the radio itself, providing
considerable flexibility in the choice of data protocols that can be used with the
transceiver.
ASH Transceiver Operation
The ASH transceiver’s unique feature set is made possible by its system architecture.
The heart of the transceiver is the amplifier-sequenced receiver section, which provides
over 90 dB of stable RF and detector gain without any special shielding or decoupling
provisions. Stability is achieved by distributing the total RF gain over time. This is in
contrast to a superheterodyne receiver, which achieves stability by distributing total RF
gain over multiple frequencies.

Refer to the Block Diagram and Timing Cycle drawing in Section A of the manual for
the following discussion. This drawing shows the basic amplifier-sequenced receiver
architecture. Note that the bias to RF amplifiers RFA1 and RFA2 are independently
controlled by a pulse generator, and that the two amplifiers are coupled by a surface
acoustic wave (SAW) delay line, which has a typical delay of 0.5 µs.
An incoming RF signal is first filtered by a narrow-band SAW filter, and is then applied
to RFA1. The pulse generator turns RFA1 ON for 0.5 µs. The amplified signal from
RFA1 emerges from the SAW delay line at the input to RFA2. RFA1 is now switched
OFF and RFA2 is switched ON for 0.55 µs, amplifying the RF signal further. The ON
time for RFA2 is usually set at 1.1 times the ON time for RFA1, as the filtering effect of
the SAW delay line stretches the signal pulse from RFA1 somewhat. As shown in the
timing diagram, RFA1 and RFA2 are never on at the same time, assuring excellent
receiver stability. Note that the SAW filter and delay line act together to provide very
high receiver ultimate rejection.
Amplifier-sequenced receiver operation has several interesting characteristics that can
be exploited in system design. The RF amplifiers in an amplifier-sequenced receiver
can be turned on and off almost instantly, allowing for very quick power-down (sleep)
and wake-up times. Also, both RF amplifiers can be off between ON sequences to
trade-off receiver noise figure for lower average current consumption. The effect on
noise figure can be modeled as if RFA1 is on continuously, with an attenuator placed in
front of it with a loss equivalent to 10*log10(RFA1 duty factor), where the duty factor is
the average amount of time RFA1 is ON (up to 50%).
Please refer to the ASH Transceiver Block Diagram in Section A for the following
discussion:
Antenna port - the only external RF components needed for the ASH transceiver are
the antenna, antenna matching coil and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection choke.

Receiver chain - the narrow-band SAW filters provides high receiver RF selectivity. The
output of the SAW filter drives amplifier RFA1. This amplifier includes provisions for
detecting the onset of saturation (AGC Set), and for switching between 35 dB of gain
and 5 dB of gain (Gain Select). AGC Set is an input to the AGC Control function, and
Gain Select is the AGC Control function output. ON/OFF control to RFA1 (and RFA2) is
generated by the Pulse Generator & RF Amp Bias function. The output of RFA1 drives
the low-loss SAW delay line, which has a nominal delay of 0.5 µs. Note that the SAW
RF filter and SAW delay line both contribute to the excellent out-of-band rejection of the
receiver.
The second amplifier, RFA2, provides 51 dB of gain below saturation. The output of
RFA2 drives a square-law detector with 19 dB of threshold gain. The onset of saturation
in each section of RFA2 is detected and summed to provide a logarithmic response.
This is added to the output of the square-law detector to produce an overall detector
response that is square law for low signal levels, and transitions into a log response for
high signal levels. This combination provides excellent threshold sensitivity and more
than 70 dB of detector dynamic range. In combination with the 30 dB of AGC range in
RFA1, more than 100 dB of receiver dynamic range is achieved.
The detector output drives a three-pole, 0.05 degree equiripple low-pass filter response
with excellent group delay flatness and minimal pulse ringing. The 3 dB bandwidth of
the filter is adjusted with a single external resistor to match the data rate and data
encoding of the transmitted signal.
The filter is followed by a base-band amplifier which boosts the detected signal to the
BBOUT pin, which is coupled to the CMPIN pin or to an external data recovery process
(DSP, etc.) by a series capacitor.
When the transceiver is placed in power-down or in a transmit mode, the output
impedance of BBOUT becomes very high. This feature helps preserve the charge on

the coupling capacitor to minimize data slicer stabilization time when the transceiver
switches back to the receive mode.
Data Slicers - The CMPIN pin drives two data slicers, which convert the analog signal
from BBOUT back into a data stream. The best data slicer choice depends on the
system operating parameters. Data slicer DS1 is a capacitor-coupled comparator with
provisions for an adjustable threshold. DS1 provides the best performance at low
signal-to-noise conditions. The threshold, or squelch, offsets the comparator’s slicing
level, and is set with a resistor between the RREF and THLD1 pins. This threshold
allows a trade-off between receiver sensitivity and output noise density in the no-signal
condition. S2 is a “dB-below-peak” slicer. The peak detector charges rapidly to the peak
value of each data pulse, and decays slowly in between data pulses (1:1000 ratio). The
slicer trip point can be set from 0 to 12 dB below this peak value with a resistor between
RREF and THLD2. DS2 is best for ASK modulation where the transmitted signal has
been shaped to minimize signal bandwidth.
AGC Control - The output of the Peak Detector also provides an AGC Reset signal to
the AGC Control function through the AGC comparator. The purpose of the AGC
function is to extend the dynamic range of the receiver, so that two transceivers can
operate close together when running ASK and/or high data rate modulation. The AGC
also prevents receiver saturation by a strong in-band interfering signal, allowing
operation to continue at short range in the presence of the interference. The onset of
saturation in the output stage of RFA1 is detected and generates the AGC Set signal to
the AGC Control function. The AGC Control function then selects the 5 dB gain mode
for RFA1. The AGC comparator will send a reset signal when the Peak Detector output
(multiplied by 0.8) falls below the fixed reference voltage for DS1. A capacitor at the
AGCCAP pin avoids AGC “chattering” during the time the signal propagates through the
log detector, low-pass filter and charges the peak detector. The AGC capacitor also
allows the AGC hold-in time to be set longer than the peak detector decay time to avoid
AGC chattering during runs of “0” bits in the received data stream. Note that AGC
operation requires the peak detector to be functioning, even if DS2 is not used. AGC

operation can be defeated by connecting the AGCCAP pin to VCC, or latched ON
connecting a resistor between the AGCCAP pin and ground.
Receiver pulse generator and RF amplifier bias - The receiver amplifier-sequence
operation is controlled by the Pulse Generator & RF Amplifier Bias module, which in
turn is controlled by the PRATE and PWIDTH input pins, and the Power Down Control
Signal from the Modulation & Bias Control function.
Transmitter chain - the transmitter chain consists of a SAW delay line oscillator TXA1,
followed by a modulated buffer amplifier TXA2. The SAW filter suppresses transmitter
harmonics to the antenna. Note that the same SAW devices used in the amplifier-
sequenced receiver are reused in the transmit modes. A resistor is used to provide
decoupling between the RF VCC and the power amplifier Vcc. (See R18 on the
DR1200 schematic diagram.)
Transmitter operation supports two modulation formats, on-off keyed (OOK)
modulation, and amplitude-shift keyed (ASK) modulation. 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 30 µs). ASK
modulation also reduces the effects of some types of interference and allows the
transmitted pulses to be shaped to control modulation bandwidth. The transmitter RF
output voltage is proportional to the input current to the TXMOD pin, which modulates
TXA2. A resistor in series with TXMOD adjusts the peak transmitter output power.
The four transceiver operating modes - receive, 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. CNTRL1 and CNTRL0 are CMOS
compatible inputs.

5.2 Protocol Board
I/O Interface - Connector J1 (see Protocol Board schematic) is the I/O interface
between the protocol board and the data radio board. J1-Pin 1 carries the transmit data
signal from U2-Pin 7 to the transmitter input on the Data Radio board. J1-Pin 2 provides
Vcc to the Data Radio board. J1-Pin 3 provides the transmit enable signal (PTT) from
PNP transistor Q2. The Data Radio board requires 2 mA at 2.5 V on the PTT input to
enable the transmit mode. J1-Pin 7 is another Vcc input to the Data Radio board. J1-
Pin 5 is ground. J1-Pin 4 is a third Vcc input to the Data Radio board. J1-Pin 8 carries
the receiver digital output from the Data Radio board. Q1 provides a high input
impedance buffer between this signal and the input to U2. J1-Pin 6 is unused in the
DR1200-DK and DR1201-DK implementation.

RS232 Int erf ace - Connector J2 is the RS232 interface on the protocol board. This
9-Pin female connector is configured to appear as a DCE (modem). The protocol board
implements software flow control, so only J2-Pin 2 and J2-Pin 3 carry active signals.
J2-Pin 2 (RD) sends data to the host computer, and J2-Pin 3 receives data from the
host computer (TD). J2 Pins 4 and 6 are connected (DTR & DSR), and J2 Pins 1,7 and
8 are connected (CD, RQS, CTS) J2-Pin 5 is ground.
Protocol Microcontroller - The link-layer protocol is implemented in an ATMEL
AT89C2051 microcontroller U2. The 8-bit microcontroller operates from an 22.118 MHz
quartz crystal. The microcontroller includes 2 Kbytes of flash EPROM memory and 128
bytes of RAM. The microcontroller also includes two 16-bit timers and one hardware
serial port, making it especially suitable as a link-layer packet controller. The timers,
serial port and input interrupts remain active while the processor is in the power-saving
idle mode, allowing the link-layer protocol to be implemented on a low average current
budget.
Inputs to the microcontroller include the node programming pins ID0 - ID3, on Pins 14,
15, 16 and 17, the buffered receive data (RRX) on Pin 6, the CMOS-level input from
the host computer on Pin 2. Outputs from the microcontroller include the transmit data
on Pin 7, the data output to the host computer on Pin 3, the transmit enable signal Pin
19, the RS232-transceiver control on Pin 18, and the LED outputs on Pins 8 (RXI), 9
(RF RCV), and 11(PC RCV). Diode D2 and capacitor C7 form the power-up reset circuit
for the microcontroller.
CMOS/RS232 Level Converter - Conversion to and from RS232 and 4.5 V CMOS logic
levels is done by U1, a Maxim MAX218 Dual RS232 Transceiver. The operation of the
MAX218 is controlled by microcontroller U2, to minimize average current consumption.
L1, D1 and C5 operate in conjunction with the IC’s switch-mode power supply to
generate ±6.5 V for the transmitter and receiver conversions. Pin 3 on the MAX218
controls the switched-mode supply via U2 Pin 18. The RS232 serial input signal from
J2-Pin 3 is input on U1-Pin 12 and is converted to a 4.5 V CMOS level (note inversion)

and output on U1-Pin 9. The CMOS serial output signal from U2-Pin 2 is input on U1-
Pin 7 and converted to an RS232 output (note inversion) on U1-Pin 14. This signal is
found on J2-Pin 3.
The RS232 conversion can be bypassed for direct CMOS operation by removing U1
from its socket and placing one jumper in socket Pins 7 and 14 and a second jumper in
socket Pins 9 and 12.

5.3 Protocol Firmware
Description - The purpose of this data-link protocol is to provide automatic, verified,
error-free transmission of messages between Virtual Wir Radio Nodes via RS232
serial connections to the host processors. Operation on both the RS232 side and the
radio side is half-duplex.

Operation of the RS232 serial connection is 19.2 kbps, with eight data bits (byte), one
stop bit, and no parity bit. The transmission rate on the radio side is approximately
22.5 kbps, using 12-bit DC-balanced symbols for each data byte. The radio receiver is
slightly “squelched” when not receiving data, and will output occasional random positive
noise spikes.
The following I/O lines are implemented on the protocol microcontroller:
radio receive line (RRX)
radio transmit line (RTX)
radio transmit/receive control line, high on transmit (PTT)
RS232 receive line (PRX)
RS232 transmit line (PTX)
Maxim 218 ON/OFF control line
node ID input lines (ID0 through ID3)
three LED control Lines (RXI, RF RCV and PC RCV)
The link-layer protocol is capable of transmitting/receiving binary data bytes of any bit
pattern. Messages are sent and received from the RS232 interface in standard
asynchronous format via PTX and PRX. The first byte of the RS232-side messages
contain a “TO/FROM” address, with the high nibble the “TO” node ID, and the low
nibble the “FROM” node ID. The second byte is the message sequence number (1-7
recycling or 8 used for telemetry packets), the third byte is the number of data bytes in
the message (up to 20 hex), followed by the data bytes. A single message can contain
up to 32 data bytes, with 16 to 24 data bytes typical.
The protocol software continually tests the RRX line and the PRX line, searching for a
start bit. When a start bit is detected on one of the input lines, the software will attempt
to receive a message on that input line. If an error is detected in the message, it will be
discarded and the software will resume testing the input lines.

If a valid message is received on the PRX input line, the software will format a radio
packet from the message and queue the packet for transmission. The packet format
shall include a start symbol (22 hex), the TO/FROM byte, the message number, the
number of data bytes in the message, the data bytes, and a 16 bit error detection
“frame check sequence” (FCS). The FCS is calculated based on all bits in the message
following the start symbol. The FCS as defined by ISO 3309 is used.
Each byte transmitted by the radio is converted into a 12 bit, dc-balanced symbol. DC
balance “trains” the receiver data slicer for best noise immunity by setting the threshold
half way between a “1” and “0” value. The dc-balanced symbols used have no more
than 3 bits of the same value in a row. This limited “run length” allows the receiver data
slicer to be tuned to recover quickly from a heavy noise burst or strong interfering
signal.
The queued packet is transmitted (RTX line with PTT invoked), and the software then
looks for a “packet received” acknowledgment (RRX line). An acknowledgment packet
includes the start byte, the TO/FROM byte, the packet number being acknowledged,
hex En (n is the retry number correctly received) and the FCS. When an
acknowledgment is received for the queued packet, an acknowledgment message
(packet less start symbol and FCS) is sent on the PTX line, the packet is discarded, and
the software resumes testing the input lines. If a packet acknowledgment is not
received in 120 ms, the packet is resent after a randomly selected delay of
(approximately) 0 , 120, 240 or 360 ms. If the packet is not acknowledged after a total
of eight tries, the software will send a “NAK” message on the PTX line (TO/FROM
address, packet number and hex DD), discard the packet, and resume testing the input
lines.
When a start symbol is detected on the RRX line, the software will attempt to receive
and verify a message by checking for a correct TO/FROM address, a valid packet
sequence number, a valid number of data bytes (or “ACK” character), and a correct
FCS calculation. If the packet is verified and the “TO” nibble matches, the TO/FROM
address, packet sequence number, number of data bytes and the data bytes of the
©2010-2016 by Murata Electronics N.A., Inc.
DR-1200/1201-DK01/07/16

message are sent out on the PTX line and a packet acknowledgment is transmitted
back on the RTX line. Otherwise, the message is discarded and testing of the input
lines is resumed. The software will accept message packets and acknowledgment
packets in any sequence. If an acknowledged packet is received a second time (based
on the current value of the message sequence counter) it is reacknowledged on RTX
but not retransmitted on PTX.
The TO/FROM address of 00h is treated as a “broadcast” packet. In this case, a
received packet is sent out on the PTX line if the number of data bytes are in a valid
range and the FCS calculation matches. In the broadcast mode, the packet is
transmitted eight times to enhance probability or reception. A broadcast packet is not
acknowledged by the receiving node(s). A packet with a packet number of 8 is treated
as a telemetry packet. If the TO address matches the local node number and the
number of bytes and FCS is valid, it placed on the PTX, but is not acknowledged.
If a start bit is detected on either RRX or PRX, the software receives and acts on the
information on that input line, and does not service the other input line until it has
received and acted on the data from the first input line. Host software must implement a
simple transmit message software flow control to accommodate this characteristic.
When the host software is ready to send a message to the protocol software, it tests
the availability of the PRX interrupt by sending just the TO/FROM address character to
the protocol board. If this TO/FROM address is echoed back within 50 ms, it has control
of the PRX interrupt process and can send the rest of the message in the following
200 ms. If a character is input with the high nibble equal to the local node address (or
the byte equal to 00h for a broadcast packet) within the 50 ms window, it could be an
inbound message for the local node, and the rest of the message should be received
and tested to see if it is a valid message. If no character is echoed in the 50 ms
following the TO/FROM character transmission, the protocol board can be assumed
busy on an RRX interrupt either receiving a packet or tripped by receiver output noise.
The host program should retry. An inbound packet can occur at any time, so any
character with the high nibble equal to the local node address or any 00h byte should

5.4 Terminal Program
Description - VWT97V02.EXE is a compiled QuickBASIC (4.5) program that
demonstrates interaction with the Virtual Wire Protocol. The commented source code
listing is provided below for reference. Be sure to check RFM’s Internet web site -
www.murata.com for new software updates. Note: This terminal program does not
include provisions for automatic compliance with the duty-cycle requirements of the
new ETSI I-ETS 300 220-1 regulations for the 868.00 - 868.60 MHz band (DR1201-
DK). Limiting the duty-cycle in the final application software will be required for ETSI
certification. At the time this manual is was written, the proposed duty cycle limit was
seconds per hour, but this may change in the final release of the specification. Be sure
to check the final version of the regulation before completing product development.
