CC430f5137 JTI Balun 868 Mhz Rf communication problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC430F5137

Hi,

I am using cc430f5137 and JTI Balun 0868BM15C0001 for rf communication and I am using example code Fixed_LT_FIFO .I did my design according to "eZ430-Chronos-868 RF Access Point With White PCB, Schematics" from slau292g user guide.but instead of pcb trace + ceramic chip antenna I used whip antenna but the system didn't work.Any suggestion?

Thank u.

  • - What is your definition of "does not work"?

    - It's not possible to see what you could have done wrong based on what you provide here. A schematic and layout are required. From the part of the layout you have posted it could look like the grounding is poor. What does the ground layer look like? 

  • If you are using a whip antenna then would recommend to remove components L1 & C18 since these were used for the ceramic antenna match.
