It is an enhanced replacement for the SAW based BiM2 and has better frequency accuracy and temperature stability. BiM2H is a high power version with 25mW RF power and specifically made available for Australian/New Zealand users. Fig. 1: BiM2A-433-64 Features Data rates up to 64kbps Crystal controlled PLL FM circuitry for both Tx and Rx Receiver Sensitivity: -101dBm for 1ppm BER (64kbps) -104dBm for 1ppm BER (10kbps) Supply: 2.9V - 16V @ 14mA TX (10mW), 25mA TX (25mW), 11mA Rx Usable range up to 300 metres external, 75 metres in building SAW front end filter and full screening RSSI (standard) or carrier detect option Analogue and digital baseband Low profile with small footprint 33 x 23 x 5mm Conforms to European EN 301 489-3 and ETSI EN 300 220-3 (ERP @ 10mW) Conforms to Australian/New Zealand AS/NZS 4268:2003 (ERP @ 25mW) Instead of the SAW-based technology of the BiM2, the BiM2A and BiM2H use a PLL circuit locked to a crystal for better frequency stability over a wider temperature range (-20C to +70C) and supply range (2.9 - 16V), at the expense of slightly slower power-up. The BiM2A is available as standard on frequencies of 433.92MHz and 434.42MHz. The BiM2H can be made available if required in an extra-high-power version (BiM2EH), in the same footprint and pinout but giving 100mW nominal output power at 3.7 - 16V supply with a current consumption of less than 45mA. Applications PDAs, organisers and laptops Handheld terminals EPOS equipment, barcode scanners, belt clip printers Data loggers Audience response systems In-building environmental monitoring and control Security and fire alarms Restaurant ordering systems Vehicle data up/download Radiometrix Ltd, BiM2A Data Sheet page 1 Functional overview The transmit section of the BiM2A/H consists of a frequency modulated crystal locked PLL feeding a buffer amplifier and RF filter. A TX select line controls operation. The transmitter achieves full RF output typically within 1ms of this line being pulled low. Modulation is applied at the TXD input and may be either a serial digital stream toggling between 0V and 3V (digital drive) or a high level analogue waveform with the same peak limits (linear drive). Modulation shaping is performed internally by a 2nd order lowpass filter which minimises spectral spreading. The RF output is filtered to ensure compliance with the appropriate regulations and fed via a Tx/Rx changeover switch to the antenna pin. The receive section is a single conversion FM superhet with an IF of 10.7MHz. A SAW bandpass filter in the receiver front-end provides image rejection and suppression of other unwanted out-of-band signals. Like the transmitter, the receiver is controlled by its own active low RX select line. A post-detection lowpass filter establishes the signal bandwidth and ensures clean operation of the subsequent adaptive data slicer. The slicer is optimised for balanced data such as bi-phase code. The standard module features a received signal strength (RSSI) output with 60dB of range. A version of BiM2A featuring a fast acting Carrier Detect (CD) output on the same RSSI pin is also available. The CD output will indicate the presence of any RF signals on the carrier frequency. matching & lpf PA VCO / 32 Loop Filter ref osc 35kHz LPF TXD Vcc 2.9 - 16V (3.7 - 16V for BiM2EH) Antenna Tx/Rx switch / 32 Loop Filter ref osc 2.8V/3.3V Regulator & Tx/Rx logic Tx select Rx select VCO CD/ RSSI 433MHz bpf preamp IF Amp Demod LPF data slicer RXD Mixer 10.7MHz AF Pin description Fig. 2: Block diagram RF GND pins 1 & 3 RF ground pins, internally connected to the module screen and to pins 5, 9, 10 & 18 (0V).

Max at 50kHz offset 8. Average, at max. data rate Application Information Modulation formats and range extension The module will produce the specified FM deviation with a 2-level digital input to TXD which toggles between 0V and 3V. Reducing the amplitude of the data input (to the TXD pin) from this value reduces the transmitted FM deviation, typically to 20-22kHz minimum at 2.7V. The receiver will cope with this quite happily and no significant degradation of link performance should be observed. TXD is normally driven directly by logic levels but will also accept analogue drive, e.g. 2-tone signalling. In this case it is recommended that TXD (pin 14) should be DC-biased to 1.5V with the modulation ACcoupled and limited to a maximum of 3V peak-to-peak. The instantaneous modulation voltage must not swing below 0V or above 3V at any time if waveform distortion and excessive FM deviation is to be avoided - use a resistive potential divider and/or level shifter to accomplish this if necessary. The varactor modulator in the transmitter introduces some 2nd harmonic distortion which may be reduced if necessary by predistortion of the analogue waveform. At the other end of the link the AF output (pin 13) can be used to drive an external decoder directly. Although the module baseband response extends down to DC, data formats containing a DC component are unsuitable and should not be used. This is because frequency errors and drifts between the transmitter and receiver occur in normal operation resulting in DC offset errors on the AF output. Radiometrix Ltd, BiM2A Data Sheet page 5 The time constant of the adaptive data slicer in the BiM2A is set at a reasonable compromise to allow the use of low code speeds where necessary whilst keeping settling times acceptably fast for batteryeconomised operation. RXD output on pin 12 is "true" sense, i.e. as originally fed to the transmitter. In applications such as longer range fixed links where data speed is not of primary importance, a significant increase in range can be obtained by using the slowest possible data rate together with filtering to reduce the receiver bandwidth to the minimum necessary. In these circumstances the AF output can be used to drive an external filter and data slicer. The AF output waveform on pin 13 is in the same sense as that originally fed to the transmitter, i.e. no inversion takes place. Expected range Predicting the range obtainable in any given situation is notoriously difficult since there are many factors involved. The main ones to consider are as follows: ! ! ! ! ! Type and location of antennas in use (see below) Type of terrain and degree of obstruction of the link path Sources of interference affecting the receiver "Dead" spots caused by signal reflections from nearby conductive objects Data rate and degree of filtering employed Assuming the maximum 64kb/s data rate and 1/4-wave whip antennas on both transmitter (@10mW) and receiver, the following ranges may be used as a rough guide only: Cluttered/obstructed environment, e.g. inside a building Open, relatively unobstructed environment : : 50-75m 200-300m It must be stressed, however, that range could be much greater or much less than these figures. Range tests should always be performed before assuming that a particular range can be achieved in any given application. Antenna considerations and options The choice and positioning of transmitter and receiver antennas is of the utmost importance and is the single most significant factor in determining system range. The following notes are intended to assist the user in choosing the most effective arrangement for a given application. Nearby conducting objects such as a PCB or battery can cause detuning or screening of the antenna which severely reduces efficiency. Ideally the antenna should stick out from the top of the product and be entirely in the clear, however this is often not desirable for practical or ergonomic reasons and a compromise may need to be reached. If an internal antenna must be used, try to keep it away from other metal components and pay particular attention to the "hot" end (i.e. the far end), as this is generally the most susceptible to detuning. The space around the antenna is as important as the antenna itself. Microprocessors and microcontrollers tend to radiate significant amounts of radio frequency hash, which can cause desensitisation of the receiver if its antenna is in close proximity. 433MHz is generally less prone to this effect than lower frequencies, but problems can still arise. Things become worse as logic speeds increase, because fast logic edges are capable of generating harmonics across the UHF range which are then radiated effectively by the PCB tracking. In extreme cases system range can be reduced by a factor of 3 or more. To minimise any adverse effects, situate the antenna and module as far as possible from any such circuitry and keep PCB track lengths to the minimum possible. A ground plane can be highly effective in cutting radiated interference and its use is strongly recommended. A simple test for interference is to monitor the receiver RSSI output voltage, which should be the same regardless of whether the microcontroller or other logic circuitry is running or in reset. Two types of antenna are recommended for use with the BiM2A: Whip (1/4-wave). This consists simply of a piece of wire or rod connected to the module at one end. The lengths given below are from module pin to antenna tip including any interconnecting wire or tracking (but not including any 50 coax or microstrip connection). This antenna is simple, cheap, easy to set up and performs well. It is especially effective when used with a ground plane, which in practice is often provided by the main PCB or by a metal case. Radiometrix Ltd, BiM2A Data Sheet page 6 Base-loaded whip. In applications where space is at a premium a shortened whip may be used, tuned by means of a coil inserted at the base. This coil may be air-wound for maximum efficiency, or a small SMT inductor can be used. The value must be empirically chosen to tune the particular length of whip for best results "in situ", making this antenna more difficult to set up. Radiated power will generally be slightly less than that obtained from a 1/4-wave whip. 0.5 mm enameled copper wire close wound on 3.2 mm diameter former RF 433 MHz = 24 turns A. Helical antenna Feed point 15% to 25% of total loop length RF-GND C2 C3 C4 C1 track width = 1mm 4 to 10 cm inside area 2 RF B. Loop antenna 16.4cm wire, rod, PCB-track or a combination of these three RF C. Whip antenna 433 MHz = 16.4 cm total from RF pin. Fig. 5: Antenna configurations Note: Where the specified antennas are mounted on the PCB and/or in close proximity to metalwork (module casing, components, PCB tracking etc), the antenna radiation pattern may be seriously affected. Radiated power may be significantly increased in some directions (sometimes by as much as 10dB) and correspondingly reduced in others. This may adversely affect system performance where good all-round coverage is desired. Care should also be taken to ensure that this effect does not increase the radiated power in any direction beyond that allowed by type approval regulations. Where this occurs the antenna may need to be relocated. In extreme cases a resistive attenuator of appropriate value may be required between the module and antenna. Type Approval requirements: Europe The modules comply with the requirements of the R&TTE Directive (including standards EN 300 220-3 and EN 301 489-3) when used in accordance with the information contained herein. The following provisos apply: 1) The modules must not be modified or used outside their specification limits. 2) The modules may only be used to transfer digital or digitised data. Analogue speech and/or music are not permitted. 3) The equipment in which the BiM2A is used must carry all necessary external labelling to meet the requirements of the R&TTE directive. 4) The BiM2A has not been tested with antennas having gains greater than that of a quarter-wave whip. The use of such antennas may require further R&TTE approval. Radiometrix Ltd, BiM2A Data Sheet page 7 Module mounting considerations Good RF layout practice should be observed. In particular, any ground return required by the antenna or feed should be connected directly to the RF GND pins at the antenna end of the module, and not to the OV pins which are intended as DC grounds only. All connecting tracks should be kept as short as possible to avoid any problems with stray RF pickup. If the connection between module and antenna does not form part of the antenna itself, it should be made using 50 microstrip line or coax or a combination of both. It is desirable (but not essential) to fill all unused PCB area around the module with ground plane.
