The ARF26 radio module is a multi-channel FSK digital transmission radio-frequency

transceiver using the 868-870 MHz band. This transceiver proposes up to 9 transmission

channels enabling two-way half-duplex digital links up to 25 kBps Manchester. The

transceiver is composed of "rough" radio components; the transmission protocol (data

encoding/decoding) and radio module programming are performed by the associated logic.

The 868-870 MHz band is subdivided into 4 sub-bands authorising different duty cycles: ≤

0.1 %, ≤1%, ≤10% and ≤100%. The duty cycle of the product has to be calculated to know

which of the sub-bands can be used by the application. The table below presents the

different sub-bands with their duty cycle and the maximum number of channels that can be

envisaged in each sub-band.

N.B.:

- The signals SLE, SCK and SDATA correspond to the 3-wire serial interface for

programming the transceiver registers.

- The radio module is supplied by an external power source between VDC and GND. The

supply voltage should be chosen in the 3-5V range.

•Principle

The transmitter and receiver have to be configured (frequency registers, control registers...) to

establish the radio link. This register configuration is performed by means of the SLE, SCK

and SDATA 3-wire serial bus.

The number of registers to be programmed depends on the operating mode: transmission,

receipt... Each word is programmed starting with the most significant bit (MSB) and each bit

is loaded on the rising front of SCK.

N.B:

- In transmission mode (Tx) and receipt mode (Rx), the programming is different for any one

channel.

- The transmitter and receiver have to work on the same channel to “understand” each other.

- For this programming, it is understood that low level corresponds to GND and high level to

VDC.

•Timings

Programming of a register is performed according to the following timing diagram:

N.B.:

- The number of pulses for SCK corresponds to the number of bits to be sent and depends on

the register. In the example above, there are 37 clock pulses that correspond to the longest

- Between programming of 2 registers, SLE must be kept at “1” for a minimum time of

200 ns.

- The content of the registers (address included) for each operating mode is specified in the

following paragraphs. When programming a register, it is imperative to send the specified

number of bits (cf. tables below), no more no less, to avoid an incorrect programming.

•Transmission mode

In transmission mode, three 37-bit registers (the control register CTRL1 and frequency

registers F0 and F1) and one 7-bit register (control register CTRL3) have to be configured.

Programming of the registers must begin with F0, followed by F1, then CTRL3 and finish

with CTRL1. The table below presents the content of the registers according to the channel:

In receipt mode, at least two 37-bit registers (the control register CTRL1 and frequency

registers must start with F2, followed by CTRL3 and finish with CTRL1. The table below

•“DATACLK” mode

In receipt mode, a received data synchronisation clock can be available on the DATACLK pin

of the radio module (rising front in the middle of the data). To take advantage of this option,

the control register CTRL2 (27 bits) also has to be configured according to the maximum

transmission rate of the application. In “DATACLK” mode, programming must be started

with F2, followed by CTRL2 then CTRL3, and finally CTRL1.

The table below presents the content of CTRL2 according to the maximum transmission rate

of the application and the content of CTRL1 that has changed (for activation of the

DATACLK).

N.B.:

- The content of CTRL1 is identical whatever the channel.

- In “DATACLK” mode, the contents of the registers F2 and CTRL3 are the same as in

paragraph 5.4.

- Consult us for other transmission rates.

•Standby mode

To switch to Standby mode, the registers CTRL3 then CTRL1 have to be programmed:

CTRL3 (hex)

7 bits CTRL1 (hex)

6 bits

45 (*) 12

(*): When switching to Standby mode from transmission mode, the register CTRL3 is already

at 45 (hex).

To return to the previous mode, CTRL1 and possibly CTRL3 have to be reprogrammed:

Previous mode CTRL3 (hex)

7 bits CTRL1 (hex)

6 bits

Transmission - 13

Receipt 44 13

•Reset

Reset of all the registers is performed by programming the RESET register:

RESET (hex)

6 bits

Content: 2E

After a reset, the radio module is in standby mode and all the registers have to be

reprogrammed as described above to switch to transmission or receipt mode.

05-11-V3-psn 7

On account of the ARF26 system transmission principle and of the modulation in phase lock

loop, the modulating signals must have a frequency comprised between 1 kHz and 25kHz.

Lower and higher frequencies cannot be transmitted, as they are filtered. This means, among

other things, that the link cannot transmit constant states with a duration of more than 500 µs.

•Level - Bit Encoding

Most conventional hardwired serial links transmit bytes in asynchronous manner using an

NRZ type encoding (1 logic bit = 1 electrical state). This results in the spectrum occupation of

the signals thus generated being about one decade. Furthermore, sampling of the bytes thus

received supposes perfect synchronisation of decoding on the start bit.

In the case of radio transmission, it is preferable to limit the spectrum of the signals to be

transmitted as far as possible, in particular towards low frequencies, even if this means

increasing the main frequency. Moreover, it is advantageous to reset the synchro on each

transmitted bit; receivers are in fact the cause of large duty cycle errors on the electrical states.

Bit encodings should therefore be preferred, for example those proposed below:

Manchester or two-phase:

Differential PWM:

•Level - Frame Encoding

Once the bits have been encoded, it is then imperative that they be transmitted according to a

frame structure; the radio link is very sensitive to binary flow breaks which can only be

minimised by “serialising” the bytes.

A conventional frame structure is shown below:

PROTOCOL

05-11-V3-psn 8

1Preamble: Electrical succession 101010... to fix the receiver polarisation and compensate

the channel settling time.

2Start pattern: Electrical pattern that marks the beginning of the useful data by a break in

the binary flow of the preamble.

3Useful part: Successions of bytes encoded at bit level.

4Stop pattern: Indicates the end of frame (necessary when the frame may be of variable

length).

•Radio channel setting:

This characteristic corresponds to the time required for the first valid bits to be obtained on

receipt on an ARF26 n°2 (DATAMSG2) after a frame has been transmitted from another

distant ARF26 n°1 module (DATAMSG1).

•Wake-up time (Start-up time):

This characteristic corresponds to the time required to switch from Standby mode (low

consumption) to ‘active’ mode (transmission or receipt).

RADIO CHANNEL MANAGEMENT

05-11-V3-psn 9

•Transceiver turn-around:

This characteristic corresponds to the time required to switch from transmission to valid

receipt or vice-versa on the same device, and therefore to a TX_RX control input status

change.

The 3-wire serial bus is bi-directional. It is therefore possible to read the status of certain

registers. The value of the RSSI (received signal strength indicator) is contained in the status

To know the value of these 6 bits, you have to go and read the status register according to the

following timing diagram:

- The first 4 bits (0101) correspond to the status register address.

- The 5th bit (1) selects register read mode.

T1: SDATA switching time from input to output on descending front of SCK: 50 ns max.

T2: data propagation delay time after a descending front: 50 ns max.

T3: SDATA switching time from output to input on rising front of SLE: 50 ns max.

The timings indicated in chapter 4.2 remain valid.

The value of the RSSI corresponds to bits D1 (LSB) to D6 (MSB). Bit D7 is of no interest.

The graph below gives a correspondence between the RSSI value and the received power

level.

RSSI

05-11-V3-psn 10

Caution:

- The RSSI level remains an indicator which has to be used with precaution. The curve

presented above may change somewhat from one product to the other.

- This RSSI level can also indicate the presence of a possible interfering source on the

channel used. It is not possible to ensure that the required signal coming from the remote

transmitter is detected and received by examining the RSSI only. The identity of the

transmitter also has to be checked by encodings in the transmitted frames.

The RSSI is a necessary but non-sufficient condition for obtaining correct receipt.
