The reference design demonstrates a complete 2.4GHz ZigBee IEEE 802.15.4 based compliant radio transceiver solutions and conform to FCC CFR47 part 15. The wireless SoC reference design series (RFMDs RF6505/6575/6555) are developed by the partnership between RFMD and Corporation. The RFMD device increases transmit power and sensitivity.
This reference design demonstrates a full-function network node with the AT86RF231 radio transceiver, which is capable of hosting a MAC layer implementation. Two ceramic chip antennas increase the link budget in a typical indoor scenario with multi-path fading effects.
