SOFTWARE TOOLS
The ZICM2410P0 MeshConnect module does not incorporate an external Power Amplifier and therefore the RF output port
is connected directly (through matching components) to the RF antenna. As CEL’s IC IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver already
offers the industry’s best link budget at 103 dB, even without an external PA the MeshConnect can maintain wireless
connection over long distance (2,000 ft line-of-sight).
The Extended Range module adds both an PA and LNA to maximize RF performance. The PA enable the Extended Range
module to output up to +20 dBm transmit power. In the receive path the addition of the LNA boosts the already sensitive
receiver up to -103 dBm. The Extended Range link budget boasts a very robust 123 dB enabling a line of sight range over
3 miles.
INTERFACE
The MeshConnect has all major communication interfaces routed from the IC to the module edge connectors:
The MeshConnect IC includes three voice codec algorithms: µ-law, a-law and ADPCM.
The µ-law algorithm is a companding algorithm primarily used in the digital telecommunication systems of North America
and Japan. As with other companding algorithms, its purpose is to reduce the dynamic range of an audio signal. In the
analog domain this can increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) achieved during transmission and in the digital domain, it
can reduce the quantization error (hence increasing signal to quantization noise ratio). These SNR improvements can be
traded for reduced bandwidth and equivalent SNR instead. The a-law algorithm is a standard companding algorithm used in
European digital communications systems to optimize/modify the dynamic range of an analog signal for digitizing.
The a-law algorithm provides a slightly larger dynamic range than the µ-law at the cost of worse proportional distortion for
small signals.
Adaptive DPCM (ADPCM) is a variant of DPCM [Differential (or Delta) pulse-code modulation] that varies the size of the
quantization step, allowing further reduction of the required bandwidth for a given signal-to-noise ratio. DPCM encodes
the PCM values as differences between the current and the previous value. For audio applications this type of encoding
reduces the number of bits required per sample by about 25% compared to PCM.
CEL offers complete SW tools for MeshConnect that customers need to create their application.
