  • Page 9: General

    The small-size and superior RF performance of this module make it ideal for many applications. While a pair of pDDL900 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”...
  • Page 10: Output Power Level

    While the typical application for the pDDL900 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 11: Installation

    3. Installation 3.0 Overview The pDDL900 complies with FCC part 15 at the modular level for operation in the license-free 902-928 MHz and 2400-2483.5 MHz ISM band. This chapter provides guidelines for installing and deploying equipment which incorporates the pDDL900 module.
  • Page 12 Figure 1 Gain Calculation The power level has been set to 30dBm (1W) on the transmitter, and the receiver sensitivity for the pDDL900 is -108dBm. System gain would be calculated to be: 30 - 2 + 6 + 3 - 2 + 108 = 143 dB.
  • Page 13: Antennas And Cabling

    -95dBm. 3.2 Antennas and Cabling This section describes the recommended procedure for installing cabling and antennas for use with the pDDL900 module. 3.2.1 Internal Cabling The most common method for installing the module is to run a cable from the module’s UFL connector to a reverse TNC bulkhead connector on the...

    Typically, both ports on surge arrestors are N-female. External Filter Although the pDDL900 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 pDDL900 Direct human contact with the antenna can desensitize the receiver.
