rfmeter3 2.0.0.0
|
RF Meter 3 Click is a compact add-on board that collects information, analyzes RF power, and displays information in an easy-to-read digital format. This board features the LT5581, a low-power monolithic precision RMS power detector from Analog Devices. The RMS detector uses a proprietary technique to accurately measure the RF power in a range from 2GHz up to 2.6GHz, well-suited for signals with high crest factors. It outputs a DC voltage in linear scale proportional to an RF input signal power in dBm.
We provide a library for the RFMeter3 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for RFMeter3 Click driver.
rfmeter3_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function. rfmeter3_init
Initialization function. rfmeter3_enable_device
This function enables device by setting EN pin to HIGH logic level. rfmeter3_disable_device
This function disables device by setting EN pin to LOW logic level. rfmeter3_get_rf_input_power
This function reads the voltage from AN pin and converts it to RF input power in dBm. This example demonstrates the use of RF Meter 3 click board.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and enables the click board.
Measures the RF input signal power in dBm and displays the results on the USB UART every 100ms.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:
Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
