DESCRIPTION

The MCT242 is a direct sequence spread spectrum transceiver unit,
designed to be compatible with US (FCC Part 15.247), Canadian (RSS-

247), EU(EN 60950-1, EN 300 328, EN 301 489) and
Australian(AS/NZS 4268) regulations for license free use in the 2.4
GHz ISM band. The MCT2412 is designed for mobile applications in
accordance to Part 2.1091(b).

The MCT242 is not designed for multiple antenna applications and
should not be used to transmit simultaneously with any other
transmitter.

OPERATION

The MCT242 is a radio transceiver module for the 2.4 GHz ISM bands.
The transceiver microcontroller includes a CPU, GPI/O, a fully
integrated frequency synthesizer, a power amplifier, a modulator and a
receiver unit. The MCT242 microcontroller monitors the input data.
The data is sent to the RF processor and then to RF circuit, and then to
the antenna. The data received from antenna is sent to the
microcontroller for processing. The microcontroller is responsible for
the control of the entire communication. The MCT242 transceiver
contains a DC regulator which generates a constant 1.8 VDC for the
digital circuitry. The RF section runs on the 3.3V supply.
