    HP900 to interface directly to any equipment with an asynchronous serial interface. ◼ ease of installation and use – the HP900 module uses a subset of standard AT style commands, very similar to those used by traditional telephone line modems.
  • Page 8: Output Power Level

    While the typical application for the HP900 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 9: Installation

    3. Installation 3.0 Overview The HP900 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 HP900 module. 3.1 Estimating the Gain Margin...
  • Page 10 Figure 1 Gain Calculation The power level has been set to 30dBm (1W) on the transmitter, and the receiver sensitivity for the HP900 is -108dBm. System gain would be calculated to be: 30 - 2 + 6 + 3 - 2 + 108 = 143 dB.
  • Page 11: Antennas And Cabling

    A PCB must be designed that incorporates a 50 Ω trace to a RP- SMA connector for the HP900 to interface to an external antenna. A high quality 50 Ω RF connector, such as a RP-SMA connector, provides proper PCB-to RF-cable transition.

    Typically, both ports on surge arrestors are N-female. External Filter Although the HP900 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 HP900 Direct human contact with the antenna can desensitize the receiver.
