parallel frequency select inputs. inverted logic, i nternal 10k pullups to 4.4v 12 p2 13 p3 notes: 1. bhx2 transmitter section inverts sense of the b aseband stream, so a logical inversion is present between input of tx and output on rx 2. carrier detect mutes the af and data outputs. it can be disabled by rotating the level set trimmer fully acw. 3. there are no pullups on the open collector outpu ts. 4. the sofware incorporates a 1200baud dumb modem, compatible with that implemented in tx2m, rx2m, tr2m, smx2 and uhx2 radios ( i1200 tone s and format ). 5. rs232 input pins (10 and 11) tolerate true +/- levels. no buffering is required. 6. this unit actually consists of a tr2c rf board a nd an afs2-458 amplifier module, combined with a 5v ldo 7. in future versions of the software, pin 13 will have a modem handshake function 8. the bhx2 has the same footprint/pinout/function as the tr2m (tr2b), but the case is longer, and the rf output is a coaxial connector. c ompared to an tr2m, the minimum supply voltage is higher (5.5v vesus 4.5v). figure 3: bhx2 footprint (top) view radiometrix ltd bhx2 data sheet page 4 figure 4: bhx2 interfaced to host microcontroller a nd serial port for configuration bhx2 can be directly interfaced to a host microcont roller which can generally be powered by the regulated +4.4v output on pin 8 of bhx2. three i/o pins on the microcontroller port can be assigned to select the first 8 channels on frequenc y table of the appropriate band for which the module is configured by pulling the p1-p3 pins low. channel select pins of bhx2 have internal pull- up to 4v supply rail, hence channel selection opera te on inverted logic. channel p3:p2:p1 458mhz band 0 111 458.525 1 110 458.550 2 101 458.575 3 100 458.600 4 011 458.625 5 010 458.650 6 001 458.675 7 000 458.700 digital received data output (rxd) pin is an open c ollector output, which should be pulled-up to required voltage swing level (e.g. +4.4v or vcc). bhx2 has an automatic noise squelching function whi ch is activated when there is not any rf signal at detectable level on the channel or if the non-coherent noise like interference level is high enough to block any weak rf signal from being recei ved. sqf is provided as an open-collector output for monitoring which should be pulled-up to required voltage swing level. sqf output will jump to pull-up voltage level if received rf signal level at the rf in/out pin of the module is about 3db below the level required to produce 12db sinad level on demodulated af output signal. sqf pin can be connected to an led to act as a carrier detect indicator. pull-up resistor value should be reduced (e.g. 1k ) according to the current requirement to produce s atisfactory brightness on the led used. bhx2 can be configured using any pc/laptop/pda havi ng a serial port and modem/terminal program. txd (pin 3) of db9m connector can be direc tly wired to pgm (pin c10) of the bhx2 and sgn (pin 5) of db9m connector should be either conn ected to common ground or pin c9 of the bhx2. the whole frequency/channel table is user reconfigu rable to 128 channels within 5mhz band of supplied frequency subject to regulatory band limit s. serial channel selection via pgm pin gives access to the whole of regulatory band allocation f or 458.525mhz-458.925mhz (23 channels). txe (mod tx_on) (1) txd (2) af in (3)

received signal strength indicator (rssi) output voltage level can be read by the microcontroller to estimate its distance from transmitting bhx2 unit or identify ar eas of weak signal reception. rssi can also be used to make a decision to switch to the second antenna in fixed installations within building where the probability of null-spots are higher. radiometrix ltd bhx2 data sheet page 6 bhx2

transmission radiometrix ltd bhx2 data sheet page 7 pin description of bhx2 with modem mode selected the 'modem' mentioned is a 1200 baud rs232 semi-int elligent unit (transmit keyed when valid serial data is present, so no separate tx control n eeded. coding in the datastream also permits the receiver to ignore noise and only output valid serial data). this is a half duplex unit, so collisions between transmitted and received packets must be dealt with by the user. pin name function 1 mod tx_on open = normal modem operation. low = co nstant tx (for test). 10k pullup to 4v 2 mod nc leave
