MOD153 TRANSCEIVER

DESCRIPTION

The MOD153 is a direct
sequence spread spectrum
transceiver module designed to
free use in the 2.4 GHz ISM
band.
The MOD153 transceiver is only
integrated into Kar-Tech remote
control products by Kar-Tech, at
Kar-Tech. There are no user
serviceable parts on the
MOD153 transceiver.

frequency synthesizer, a power
amplifier, a modulator and a
receiver unit. The MOD153
microcontroller serial port is
connected to the host via
protection circuits. The data is
sent through a serial port to RF
processor and then to RF circuit
to the antenna and the data
received from antenna is sent to
the serial port and to the host.
The microcontroller is
responsible for the control of the

The MOD153 is not designed for
multiple antenna applications
and should not be used to
transmit simultaneously with
any other transmitter.

OPERATION

The MOD153 is a radio
transceiver module for the 2.4
GHz ISM bands. The transceiver
microcontroller includes a CPU,

entire communication. The
MOD153 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.

The MOD153 is Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum that can use
one of 16 channels, where
Channel 1 is 2.405GHZ and
Channel 16 is 2.480 GHZ.

MOD153 TRANSCEIVER

The receivers are matched to
the transmitters to use the same
channel as the transmitter’s
signals.

INSTALLATION

1) Solder the MOD153
transceiver directly to the
host’s compatible connector.

2) Print and attach the label
as shown below:

C)The antenna should be

mounted at least 20cm
from all persons, and
must not transmit
simultaneously with any
other antenna or
transmitter, except in
accordance with FCC
multi transmitter product
procedures.

D)The MOD153 is to be

installed only in mobile

3) Connect the appropriate
antenna.

Application Requirements:

A) Power the MOD153

Transceiver with 3.3VDC
nominal voltage, with
peak current draw of
150mA.

applications. Do not
operate the MOD153
without an antenna.

E) Documentations: In the

host’s User Manual
include the following:
a. That there are no user

serviceable parts in
the radio modules.
They should not
remove or install radio
modules.

B)Do not remove the shield

on the MOD153.

b. The “Instructions To

The User” section.
