433MHz Narrow Band Radio Transmitter & Receivers
Functional Description
The QBT37-XXX FM narrow band transmitter
module consists of a low frequency directly
modulated crystal oscillator and multiplier and
filter circuits. Baseband data directly modulates
the low frequency crystal oscillator, the output of
which is applied to the first of three frequency
multipliers to achieve the final output frequency
after being processed by interstage band pass
filter circuits.
The QBR37-XXX FM narrow band receiver
module uses the single conversion super-het
principle. The applied RF signal is amplified and
applied to the RF mixer. Using a 10.7 MHz IF
frequency at 50KHz channel spacing enables use
of ceramic filters to provide good adjacent channel
rejection. Baseband demodulation is recovered
from this IF and applied to a squelch circuit.
Therefore, data is only available when a RF signal
is present.
Frequency Channels
The QBT37-XXX and QBR37-XXX are available
in 34 discrete frequency channels from 433.075 to
434.725 MHz in 50KHz steps. The table below
shows the list of possible frequency channels.
