Introduction
Linx KH3 Series RF modules offer a simple, efficient, and cost-effective
method of adding wireless communication capabilities to any product. The
Basic Evaluation Kit gives a designer all the tools necessary to correctly
and legally incorporate the KH3 Series modules into an end product. The
development boards themselves serve several important functions:
• Rapid Evaluation: The boards allow the performance of the Linx KH3
Series modules to be evaluated quickly in a user’s environment.
• Range Testing: Using the on-board encoders and decoders to
generate a simplex transmission, a pair of development boards can be
used to evaluate the range performance of the modules.
• Design Benchmark: The boards provide a known benchmark against
which the performance of a custom design may be judged.
• Application Development: An on-board prototyping area allows for the
development of applications directly on the development board.
All signal lines are available on a header for easy access.
The kit includes 2 KH3 Series transmitters*, 2 KH3 receivers*, 2 extra
PCB-mount RP-SMA connectors, 2 development boards, 2 CW Series
antennas, 1 CR2032 battery, 2 AAA batteries and full documentation.
*One part is soldered to the board, one extra for use on your first prototype board.
