Evaluation Boards for ADF7023
ISM Band Transceiver
EVAL-ADF7023DBxZ
General Description
The ADF7023 is a very low power, high performance, highly
integrated 2FSK/GFSK/OOK/MSK/GMSK transceiver designed
for operation in the 862 MHz to 928 MHz and 431 MHz to
464 MHz frequency bands, which cover the worldwide license-
free ISM bands at 433 MHz, 868 MHz, and 915 MHz. It is
suitable for circuit applications that operate under the
European ETSI EN300-220, the North American FCC (Part
15), the Chinese short-range wireless regulatory standards, or
other similar regional standards.
The ADF7023 evaluation platform consists of a 4-layer PCB
daughter card which plugs into the Eval-ADF7xxxMB3Z
motherboard.
