2.1 Technical Description:
RM900B_M1 can work from 863~870MHz.Typical frequent is 865.6MHz, 866.4MHz, 868.3MHz and 869.0MHz. It can also work at 902 ~ 924MHz, 10 channels, channel spacing 2MHz. Users can change its TX power, working channel through com tool. RM900B_M1 is a high sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee module. RM900B_M1 integrates RM900B_M5 modem which is a combination of Atmels MCU SMD21 and RF transceiver AT86RF212B, the RM900B_M1 offers superior radio performance. The sub module RM900B_M5 contains Atmels SAMD21 Cotex-M0 Microcontroller, AT86RF212B RF transceiver. The module can be easily mounted on RM900B_M1 PCB with a minimum of required external connection. Neither via-holes nor wires are allowed on the PCB upper layer in area occupied by the module. As a critical requirement, RF_GND pins should be grounded via several holes to be located right next to the pins thus minimizing inductance and preventing both mismatch and losses.
