Introduction The CC1050 single chip transmitter includes many features and great flexibility, which makes the chip suitable for a very large number of applications and system requirements. The CC1050DK Development Kit is designed to make it very easy for the user to evaluate transmitter performance and in short time develop his own applications.
Evaluation Board The kit includes an Evaluation Board (CC1050EB) with the following items: ® • A SmartRF CC1050 chip. • Necessary external surface mounted devices, SMDs, for the chip. • Voltage regulator 4 –10 V to 3V regulated voltage. • Possibilities to apply a 3 V voltage source directly (chosen by the switch on the board).

4-10V Figure 1: The power connector with an amperemeter attached. RF-section The RF section consists of a CC1050 chip with external components. The different components are explained below. The loop filter The CC1050 has integrated the loop-filter and shaping features on-chip. For flexibility it is also possible to use an external loop-filter.

The transmitted signal can be studied on a spectrum analyser, sent out on the antenna (see note below). Figure 2: Equipment set-up in transmit mode. Important: The use of radio transmitters is regulated by international and national rules. Before transmitting a RF signal out on the antenna, please contact your local telecommunication authorities to check if you are licensed to operate the transmitter.
