3. Persediaan dan Penyepaduan
The E49-400M20S4 is a pure RF transceiver module, meaning it requires an external microcontroller (MCU) or a dedicated SPI debugging tool for operation and configuration. It does not operate as a standalone device.
3.1 Sambungan Bekalan Kuasa
Connect the module to a stable power supply within the specified range of 1.8V to 3.6V. Ensure proper polarity to prevent damage to the module.
3.2 Sambungan Antena
The module is equipped with a stamp hole for antenna integration. A suitable 433MHz or 470MHz antenna must be connected to this interface for optimal performance. The stamp hole design allows for easy integration into custom PCB designs.

3.3 MCU Interface
Interface the module with your chosen MCU via the SPI bus. Refer to the CMT2300A datasheet for detailed pinout and SPI communication protocols. Proper initialization and configuration of the CMT2300A registers are crucial for module functionality.
4. Prinsip Operasi
The E49-400M20S4 module operates as a half-duplex transceiver, capable of both transmitting and receiving data. Its operation is controlled by an external MCU through the SPI interface.
4.1 Modulation Methods
The module supports multiple modulation schemes to accommodate different application requirements:
- GFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying): A common modulation for robust data transmission.
- OOK (On-Off Keying): Simple modulation, often used for low-cost, low-data-rate applications.
- (G)MSK (Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying): Offers good spectral efficiency.
