Overview Introduction The RAK2245 is a complete and cost efficient LoRa gateway solution base on Semtech SX1301 to help utilize the whole LoRa system developement. Developers can integrate the Concentrator module into the main board to utilize the LoRa gateway funtion.
Module Overview The module which is the stamp edition as shown below. The outer dimension of the RAK2245 is 30.0 x 60.0 x 14.9mm (nominal value). And the 14.9mm includes the 9.5mm heat sink. Figure 1 | Module Overview Block Diagram The block diagram of RAK2245 shown as below.
RAK2245 Figure 2 | RAK2245 Block Diagram The SX1301 digital baseband chip contains 10 programmable reception paths. Those paths have differentiated levels of programmability and allow different use cases. It is important to understand the differences between those demodulation paths to make the best possible use from the system.
RAK2245 Pin Definition The pins of the RAK2245 shown as following figure. Figure 3 | RAK2245 Pin Definition The RAK2245 provides PINs at the bottom side. The description of the pins is given by the below table. Name Type Description...
SCL_GPS GPS Module I2C SCL Table 2 | Pin Definitions Power Supply RAK2245 module be supplied through the 5V power pins, it integrats the IOREF for Level Translator, can communicate with 3.3V, 1.8V and other different voltage interfaces. SPI interface The PINs on the bottom side provides an SPI connection, which allows direct access to the Sx1301 SPI interface.
Electrical Characteristics 2.11 In the following different electrical characteristics of the RAK2245 are listed. Furthermore details and other parameter ranges are available on request. Note: Stress exceeding of one or more of the limiting values listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the radio module.
Transmitter RF Characteristics 2.12.1 The RAK2245 has an excellent transmitter performance . It is highly recommended to use an optimized configuration for the power level configuration, which is part of the HAL. This results in a mean RF output power level and current consumption.
It is highly recommended, to use optimized RSSI calibration values, which is part of the HAL v3.1. For both, Radio 1 and 2, the RSSI-Offset should be set - 169.0. The following table gives typically sensitivity level of the RAK2245. Signal Bandwidth/[KHz]...
