General description
The RTX-24EM-HP is a 1.5kbps to 72kbps low-power, low-voltage 2.4GHz ISM band RF transceiver module
ideal for battery operated wireless applications such as wireless sensors and control.
The RTX-24EM-HP module embeds the EM Microelectronic EM9209 Radio SOC device. Furthermore it
embeds a power amplifier (PA) and a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) that allow to increase the RF output power
and the sensitivity compared to the Aurel RTX-24EM modules.
The EM9209’s built in custom low power microcontroller supports the proprietary wireless protocol links in
the license free 2.4000GHz to 2.4835GHz ISM band. It includes a low-IF receiver architecture and uses FSK
modulation. A SPI interface provides a simple control of the baseband using an external host
microcontroller.
The EM9209 provides two communication modes with normal sensitivity (NS) or high sensitivity (HS) and
programmable bit rate from 1.5kbps to 72kbps.
The RTX-24EM-HP module is pin to pin compatible with Aurel new model RTX-24EM and previous models
XTR CYP 2.4 GHz, XTR VF 2.4 LP, XTR VF 2.4PA-LNA and XTR VF 2.4 HP.
The RTX-24EM-HP module is available in the following variants:
