ATR2406 FAQ 2.4 GHz ISM-band Transceiver (8 pages, revision A, updated 04/05)
The FAQ answers frequently asked questions concerning ATR2406 and its use.
 
ATR2406 Loop Filter and Data Rates (14 pages, revision B, updated 07/05)
This application note describes the fundamentals of the internal VCO and PLL of the ATR2406. Two possible ways of modulating a PLL system, open loop and closed loop, are explained in more detail. Methods of increasing the effective data rate are explained, as well as the influence of different loop-filter bandwidths on the performance of the PLL. Finally, a loop filter selection chart helps the user to choose the right loop filter and, thus, the right component values for the target application.
 
ATR2406 Smart RF AFHSS Firmware (32 pages, revision B, updated 07/05)
Using the Smart RF Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (AFHSS) Firmware with the Reference Design Based on ATR2406 and ATmega88
 
ATR2406 Smart RF Firmware (16 pages, revision A, updated 07/04)
The Flamingo Development Kit helps customers to evaluate the functionalities of Atmel’s RF modules combined with AVR® Flash microcontrollers in a convenient way. The Flamingo is mounted on the STK500 (not included in this kit) or the battery-board and forms the hardware connection between Atmel’s RF modules and AVR Flash microcontrollers. This reduces the development process of complicated ISM applications to simply programming software for the microcontrollers. This document allows you to quickly mount and configure the hardware for use with the Flamingo and the RF module ATR2406. To start software engineering, a PC and an AVR-compatible programming device are required.
