The TX6001 hybrid transmitter is ideal for short-range wireless data applications where robust operation, small size, low power consumption and low cost are required. All critical RF functions are contained in the hybrid, simplifying and speeding design- in. The TX6001 includes provisions for both on-off keyed (OOK) and amplitude-shift keyed (ASK) modulation. The TX6001 employs SAW filtering to suppress output harmonics, facilitating compliance with ETSI I-ETS 300 220 and similar regulations.
