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.
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.
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...

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.
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.
