… THE SMART WIRELESS

CONNECTOR

addLINK®

Transceiver, Microcontroller and Antenna IN ONE

Copyright Adcon Telemetry AG 10/12/01

 Advantages

addLINK must be understood as a SMD radio connector.

Treat it as a simple connector (room, location , peak and place

process,
process, cost...)

Work with it as if it is a wireless connector

Low cost because it is mass production oriented

No certification, very few engineering required

No bad interference with Host because it is very narrow located in

one tested and certified module,
module,

High baud rate

Low power consumption

High sensitivity

Full integrated RF transceiver module, “plug & play”

Very good operating temperature range

addLINK Versions

addLINK radio part (antenna switch and LNA included)

 Mechanical features

Dimension Board dimensions : 21 x 38 mm rectangular.

Antenna + PCB thickness : 5 mm maxi according to
antenna geometry for minimum losses.
Overall height: depending on metal cover
(2mm expected).

Metal cover To limit EMI coupling, the board will be shielded on

the component side.
Cover height = 2mm.

Components SMD on 1 face : radio + optional microcontroller.

Solder By reflow. (solder T°C to be defined with ADCON).
