  • Page 5: General

    The small-size and superior RF performance of this module make it ideal for many applications. While a pair of N920BT modules can link two terminal devices (“point-to- point” operation); multiple modules can be used together to create a network of various topologies, including “point-to-multipoint” and “repeater”...
  • Page 6: Output Power Level

    While the typical application for the N920BT is to provide a short- to mid- range wireless communications link between DTEs, it can be adapted to almost any situation where an asynchronous serial interface is used and data intercommunication is required.
  • Page 7 The power setting must be no more than the above calculation value. higher is a violation of FCC rules. See IMPORTANT warning below: OEMs must take precaution to satisfy the maximum RF exposure and EIRP maximum limits in accordance with the compliance limits herein. The conducted power is continuously variable from 0.001 to 1.0 Watt.
  • Page 8: Installation

    3. Installation 3.0 Overview The N920BT complies with FCC part 15 at the modular level for operation in the license-free 902-928 MHz ISM band. This chapter provides guidelines for installing and deploying equipment which incorporates the N920BT module. 3.1 Estimating the Gain Margin...
  • Page 9 Figure 1 Gain Calculation The power level has been set to 30dBm (1W) on the transmitter, and the receiver sensitivity for the N920BT is -108dBm. System gain would be calculated to be: 30 - 2 + 6 + 3 - 2 + 108 = 143 dB.
  • Page 10: Antennas And Cabling

    -95dBm. 3.2 Antennas and Cabling This section describes the recommended procedure for installing cabling and antennas for use with the N920BT module. 3.2.1 Internal Cabling The most common method for installing the module is to run a cable from the module’s MMCX connector to a reverse TNC bulkhead connector on...

    Typically, both ports on surge arrestors are N-female. External Filter Although the N920BT is capable of filtering out RF noise in most WARNING: environments, there are circumstances that require external filtering. Paging towers and cellular base stations in close proximity to the N920BT Direct human contact with the antenna can desensitize the receiver.
  • Page 12 See appendix A for a list of approved antennas that can be used with the N920BT radio modem. If you require another type of antenna WARNING: please contact Microhard Systems Inc. The N920BT CANNOT be used Be careful with dBi vs dBd gains with any antenna that does not appear in Appendix A.
