MAD4/RF Receiver and Transmitter Interface
Figure 9: MAD/RF TX/RX interface
Functional Description
Figure 9 shows the interface between MAD4 and RF receiver and transmitter. It includes
transmitter enable/disable, and RF power controlling. Some of the control signals have
2.8 CMOS level, while others have a PDM signal, which can be used to control RF behav-
ior. The MAD4 PDM output is 2.8 V CMOS digital signal with pulse duration modulated
with 9.6 MHz clock. Baseband provides low pass filter to smooth the signal and avoid
digital noise into RF ground plane.
