Life Support Policy
These products are not designed for use in life support appliances, devices, or systems where malfunction of these products can
reasonably be expected to result in personal injury. Nanotron Technologies GmbH customers using or selling these products for
use in such applications do so at their own risk and agree to fully indemnify Nanotron Technologies GmbH for any damages

Electromagnetic Interference / Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, do not use this device in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. In aircraft, use of any radio frequency devices must be in accordance with applicable regulations. Hospitals
or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
With medical devices, maintain a minimum separation of 15 cm (6 inches) between pacemakers and wireless devices and some
wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. If other personal medical devices are being used in the vicinity of wireless
devices, ensure that the device has been adequately shielded from RF energy. In a domestic environment this product may
cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
CAUTION! Electrostatic Sensitive Device. Precaution should be used when handling the device in order to prevent permanent damage.
The Complementary Dispersive Delay Line (CDDL) uses a highly sophisticated SAW (Surface
Acoustic Wave) filter device that incorporates two filters within a single device. It is required for
the operation of the nanoNET TRX Transceiver.
While most devices have two ports, the CDDL consists of three ports, as shown below.

Upchirp and Downchirp
Port A is the common input port. The group delay of the filter from the input to one of the outputs
is characteristic for these filters.
The respective impulse response for the dispersive Delay Line 2 (DL2) is an Upchirp (Linear frequency modulation, where frequency increases in time).
The other output is complementary to this, meaning that the impulse response for Delay Line 1
(DL1) is a Downchirp (Linear frequency modulation, where frequency decreases in time).
Within the nanoNET system, the CDDL is responsible for distinguishing between two possible
incoming signals generated by another nanoNET TRXTransceiver. This received signal is either
an Upchirp or a Downchirp. Both of these signals have the same center frequency and the same
bandwidth so that the difference occurs only in the phase information.
This phase information is enough for the CDDL to compress a pulse at one output po rt and
expand it at the other (that is, to extend the incoming signal to the doubled duration). In this way
the CDDL acts like a matched filter for one of the possible transmitted pulses.
Balanced Mode
Also, within the nanoNET system, the CDDL is directly connected to an RF transceiver. As this
transceiver has a differential output and input, the filter is used in a balanced mode.
According to this balanced mode, the housing has 6 signal pins – two on each side and two in
the center on opposite sides. The detailed pinning is described on the Balanced Filter (BottomView) on page 3 and Pad Landing (Top View) – Proposal on pa ge 4. All other pins are co nnected
to ground and at least one of them should be connected with the ground of the PC board.
In the illustration below, the signal pins are connected to strip lines. They are designe d with a
width of 0.91 mm to be able to go through two pins to con n ec t bo th lines of po rt A from on e side.

On a typical PC board (FR4 of height 0.51 m m and copper thickness 35 mm,
ance of these lines is about 50
Ω.

1. The center frequency of the CDDL is the common center frequency of both test signals (up-chirp and downchirp) for which the run time difference of the compressed pulses is equal.
2. The averaging is done over the signal bandwidth from 210 to 290 MHz.
3. Referred to average insertion loss.
4. The gradient of dispersion includes always Fresnel ripples; therefore, the average (linear interpolation) is
decisive.
5. Delay of a compressed pulse relative to the center position of the incoming chirp signal. This parameter is
most sensitive against changes of temperature. Therefore a large range is specified.
6. See footnote 5.
7. This is most important to distinguish between the respective output ports of the 3 ports in Figure 1: <Emphasis Footnote>"Complementary Dispersive Delay Line schematic" on page 1–1.
8. See footnote 7.
9. The averaging is done over the signal bandwidth from 210 to 290 MHz.

It is critical that the ratings provided in Absolute Maximum Ratings on page 8 be
carefully observed. Stress excee ding one or more of these limiting values may cause
permanent damage to the device.
An embossed tape and reel is used to facilitate automatic pick and place equipment feed requirements. The tape is used as the shipping container for the CDDL and requires a minimum of handling. The antistatic/conductive tape provides a secure cavity for the product when sealed with
the peel-back cover tape.
