1.2 Description of the product
The SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 are a UHF radio transceiver modules, that transmits and
receives data from UHF transmissions made by SATELLINE-3AS family and similar transmitters.
The module is designed to be as compact and power efficient as possible. It has been
developed to be especially suitable for integration into battery powered and space constrained
host applications benefiting from UHF communications.
The module transmits and receives data via the Air interface (Ant. Connector, RF), modulates
and demodulates, encodes and decodes the data and sends the received data payload to the
DTE port. The DTE interface is used to provide power to the module and communicate with the
module.
