N511AS, CC1120 Module
N511AS Module Introduce
N511AS CC1120 transceiver narrowband module designed for 169M, 433M, 868M and 915MHz ISM band. Up to +15
dBm output power and down to -120 dBm sensitivity at 1.2kbps.
N511AS is a low-cost and small size spi RF transceiver module for transmitting and receiving digital data via radio
frequency. All of the N511's electronics (don't including an antenna) reside on a single PCB, and all operational power is
derived from a single supply voltage.
The transceiver module design consists of a CC1120 low-power, integrated sub 1G transceiver RF chip. The module
available frequence is from 169 to 960 Mhz,The hardware is designed for maximum range, 1500m + Range (Line of
Sight).
N511AS module based TI CC1120 transceiver, the module leads out all pins of CC1120 chip, The interface of the module
is SPI port and RF pin. The module is packaged with small size SMD, it is suitable for SMT production. Rapid development
without understanding RF. The module supports Ardunio.
N511AS is suitable for ISM band in China, EU and USA.
