  1. CC11xx range extension and practical range estimation Tor-Inge Kvaksrud

  2. Abstract • This presentation address different methods of extending range for LPRF equipment. Advantages and disadvantages is discussed to make the attendee capable of evaluating and selecting the proper solution to the final application. • The second portion address practical range estimation. A model for open field range calculation is presented. Finally range in different common environments are discussed.

  3. Main Topics • Range extension • Matching • LNA • PA • Antenna • Practical range estimates • Open field environment • Indoor environments

  4. Range extension

  5. Transmission budget • Friis equation • PR: Power available from receiving antenna. • PT: Power supplied to the transmitting antenna. • GR: Gain in receiving antenna • GT: Gain in transmitting antenna • λ: Wavelength λ=c/f, c=speed of light, f=frequency.d: Distance [m] • C: Speed of light in complete vacuum 2.99792458*10^8 [m/s] • Sensitivity • The minimum signal power required by receiver to successfully demodulate the received information with less than 1% packet error rate (PER). Normally specified with only thermal noise present.

  7. Range extension PA switch • 50 Ω reference impedance • extended range • The added complexity TransceiverCC1100 Match/filter PA Filter Single-ended 50 Ω interface

  8. Range extension LNA switch TransceiverCC1100 Match/filter LNA Single-ended 50 Ω interface switch Example CC11xx approximate NF =11dBExternal LNA GAIN G=16dB LNA NF=2.7dB  Total NF=3.3dB Sensitivity improvement (11-3.3)dB=7.67dB this more than doubles original range.
