It can also be used for any other system with carrier frequencies ranging from 850 MHz to 930 MHz (e.g. for applications in the US 902 to 928 MHz ISM band). The transmitter s carrier frequency f is determined by the frequency of the reference crystal f . The integrated PLL c ref synthesizer ensures that carrier frequencies, ranging from 850 MHz to 930 MHz, can be achieved. This is done by using a crystal with a reference frequency according to: f = f /N, where N = 32 is the PLL feedback divider ratio. ref c A clock signal with selectable frequency is provided. It can be used to drive a microcontroller.
