Hi
I am trying to do distance measurements between two radios. Now I have found a method I am confident will work, and does work in my simulations. As I know only the basics of RF design I had hope to find a near complete transceiver as an IC and make a circuit board for it. Unfortunately it seems that due to a few special requirements that there's very few options.
For my method to work I need access to the baseband. Most transceiver IC's I find takes a bit stream and data clk and converts it internally to the rf spectrum. This doesn't work for me as I lose precious information about the baseband.
Furthermore I am working in the 433 MHz range due to the improved penetration of that frequency (though 2.4 GHz would have made the IC choice much easier).
Do any of you know some ICs that could work?
Something like the Max2830 would work but it's only for 2.4 GHz. The MAX2510 could work, but I am unsure how many external filters/amplifiers should be added to get a complete receiver?
I hope some of you can help.
