RF Meter 3 Click is a compact add-on board that collects information, analyzes RF power, and displays information in an easy-to-read digital format. This board features the LT5581, a low-power monolithic precision RMS power detector from Analog Devices. The RMS detector uses a proprietary technique to accurately measure the RF power in a range from 2GHz up to 2.6GHz, well-suited for signals with high crest factors. It outputs a DC voltage in linear scale proportional to an RF input signal power in dBm.

Click library

  • Author : Stefan Filipovic
  • Date : Sep 2021.
  • Type : ADC type

Software Support

We provide a library for the RFMeter3 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for RFMeter3 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • rfmeter3_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void rfmeter3_cfg_setup ( rfmeter3_cfg_t *cfg );
  • rfmeter3_init Initialization function.

    err_t rfmeter3_init ( rfmeter3_t *ctx, rfmeter3_cfg_t *cfg );

Example key functions :

  • rfmeter3_enable_device This function enables device by setting EN pin to HIGH logic level.

    void rfmeter3_enable_device ( rfmeter3_t *ctx );
  • rfmeter3_disable_device This function disables device by setting EN pin to LOW logic level.

    void rfmeter3_disable_device ( rfmeter3_t *ctx );
  • rfmeter3_get_rf_input_power This function reads the voltage from AN pin and converts it to RF input power in dBm.

    err_t rfmeter3_get_rf_input_power ( rfmeter3_t *ctx, float *data_out );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of RF Meter 3 Click board.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver and enables the Click board.


void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;            /**< Logger config object. */
    rfmeter3_cfg_t rfmeter3_cfg;  /**< Click config object. */

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );

    // Click initialization.
    rfmeter3_cfg_setup( &rfmeter3_cfg );
    RFMETER3_MAP_MIKROBUS( rfmeter3_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( ADC_ERROR == rfmeter3_init( &rfmeter3, &rfmeter3_cfg ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Application Init Error. " );
        log_info( &logger, " Please, run program again... " );

        for ( ; ; );
    }

    rfmeter3_enable_device ( &rfmeter3 );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Measures the RF input signal power in dBm and displays the results on the USB UART every 100ms.


void application_task ( void )
{
    float rfmeter3_rf_input_power = 0;

    if ( RFMETER3_ERROR != rfmeter3_get_rf_input_power ( &rfmeter3, &rfmeter3_rf_input_power ) ) 
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " RF Input Power: %.2f dBm\r\n", rfmeter3_rf_input_power );
        Delay_ms ( 100 );
    }
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:

  • MikroSDK.Board
  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.RFMeter3

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.

Accel 22 Click

0

Accel 22 Click is a compact add-on board that contains an acceleration sensor. This board features the ADXL367, an ultra-low-power, high-performance three-axis accelerometer from Analog Devices. The ADXL367 allows selectable full-scale acceleration measurements in ranges of ±2g, ±4g, and ±8g in three axes, with a resolution of 0.25 mg/LSB on the ±2g range, alongside a configurable host interface that supports both SPI and I2C serial communication. This device combines a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer, a temperature sensor, and a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to synchronize an external analog signal conversion.
