Radiocrafts recommends using a 1/4 wavelength monopole antenna or a dipole antenna with a minimum gain of 2 dBi for optimal performance. The antenna should be impedance-matched to 50 ohms and have a return loss of at least 10 dB.
To configure the RC1740HP-TM for low power consumption, set the transmission power to the lowest possible value (e.g., 10 dBm), use a low data rate (e.g., 10 kbps), and enable the sleep mode feature. Additionally, consider using a low-power microcontroller and optimizing the system's overall power management.
The maximum transmission distance achievable with the RC1740HP-TM module depends on various factors, including the transmission power, antenna gain, and environmental conditions. However, in ideal conditions, the module can achieve a transmission distance of up to 10 km (6.2 miles) with a 10 dBm transmission power and a 2 dBi antenna gain.
To ensure reliable data transmission and reception, implement error correction mechanisms such as CRC and retransmission protocols. Additionally, use a robust communication protocol, such as LoRaWAN or proprietary protocols, and consider implementing redundancy and diversity techniques.
The RC1740HP-TM module operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) and can be stored within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C (-40°F to +257°F).
