Introduction
The Atmel®software development tool RF Design Kit enables the programming and setting
of a wide range of RF automotive products to build RF systems for development purposes.
The software is particularly suitable for setting parameters of UHF receiver and transmitter
demo boards.
The ATA5749, Atmel’s newest UHF transmitter, boasts many new features. The main new
feature is its programability. Parameters such as transmit power, the transmit frequency,
and the frequency deviation for FSK modulation can be programmed. The latest RF Design
Kit (version 1.0.7) supports the ATAB5749, which is the demo board for the transmitter
ATA5749. This application note provides an introductions to using the ATAB5749 with the
RF Design Kit software.

1. Delivery Status of the Transmitter Board
1.1 Hardware
The front and the rear view of the transmitter board are illustrated in Figure 1-1. The schematic of the board is shown in
Figure 1-2 on page 3, and the board layout information is showed in Figure 1-3 on page 4 to Figure 1-5 on page 5. The bill of
material of the transmitter board is listed in Table 1-1 on page 5.
The board contains the following parts:
●Lithium battery
●Transmitter matched to the loop antenna.
Note: 1. Atmel offer 2 different demo boards for the ATA5749 due to the Loop Antenna matching, matching to the
315MHz and 433.92MHz.
Generally the ATA5749 can be set in both 315MHz and 433.92MHz transmit frequency with one 13.0MHz crys-
tal. So the 315MHz board can be reprogrammed for 433.92MHz transmitting purposes. In this case the
matching elements must be changed to get the optimal transmit power.
Verification with 50matching is possible.
●AVR®ATmega88 is used on the board for programming
●An external microcontroller can be used to set the ATA5749 on the boards since some test points are placed on the
control and the programming traces of ATA5749.
Note: The connection between the ATmega88 and ATA5749 can be disconnected by desoldering the jumpers (BR1
to BR4). (See the schematic of the board in Figure 1-2 on page 3.)
●Three buttons are available.
●Two Light Emitting Diodes are available to show the activity status of the board. The LED 1 indicates that the
calibration of the internal RC oscillator of ATmega88 exceeds the defined tolerance limits in the software of
ATmega88. LED 2 indicates the transmit functions of the transmitter board.
Note: The internal RC oscillator is always calibrated internally when any button is pushed. In case that no exact cali-
bration value can be calculated, the closest value will be taken.
A short flash of the LED 2 indicates the start of the function “Single Telegram” or “Single Pattern” when a button
is pressed. The same indicator can be also recognized for start and end of any continuous functionality like
“Continuous Telegram”, “Continuous Pattern”, etc.

2. Getting Familiar with the RF Design Kit
To learn about the installation of the RF Design Kit software, refer to the application note
“ant_sd-rf-design-kit_041105_sec.pdf”. The following is a list of the first steps to take when working with the RF Design Kit
and the transmitter board:
●Connect the RS232 cable between the microprocessor board, the ATAB-RFMB or ATAB-STK-F, to an unused PC
serial port.
●Connect the Microprocessor board with a 12V power supply.
●Switch on the 12V DC power supply of the microprocessor board before running the RF design Kit software.
●The file “RF-Designkit.exe” runs the software and test the connection to the microprocessor board.
●The latest RF Design Kit software is the version 1.0.7. This can be seen from the Help menu refer to the Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1. IRF Design Kit Software Version Information Window
●For the RF Design Kit Version 1.0.7, the AVR®software version on the microprocessor board must be version 1.0.10.
This information can be also seen from the Help menu. Please refer to Figure 2-2.

●It is important to remove the lithium cell from the battery holder of the transmitter board before programming the board
with the microprocessor board. If the battery is still in the holder during the programming progress, an error message
will be generated by the software requesting removal of the battery. This error massage is illustrated in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3. Error Code for Removing the Battery during the Programming Process
●Plug the transmitter board into the socket on the microprocessor board. The RF transmitter type and the software
version of the microprocessor on the demo board can be observed by clicking on the Transmitter Information button
●After clicking the Transmitter Information button, the Info dialog box is displayed (see Figure 2-4). The firmware
version and the type of transmitter board is displayed.

This table illustrates the internal register configuration of the ATA5749. The configuration bytes can be modified directly in
the CR-Table by clicking in the field of the binary value.
Figure 2-7. Control Register Table
Control Register Value (CR-Value) (Figure 2-8 on page 11):
This window interprets the register configuration setting of CR-Table. If the setting in the CR-Table is changed, the CR-Value
window shows the change automatically and vice versa. The following parameters of the ATA5749 can be set:
●Band Selection: either 300MHz to 368MHz or 367MHz to 450MHz.
●RF Frequency: The transmit frequency of the board can be determined by selecting the value of the FREQ register.
The green check mark in the drop down menu shows the FREQ values allowed; the red cross shows the values not
allowed.
●Modulation: sets the modulation of the board either to ASK Mode or FSK Mode
Load TX default settings into the RF design software. Note: this is not stored on the
transmitter board.
Load custom settings into the RF design software.
Save custom settings.
Read and display the whole current settings from the transmitter board.
Write the current settings from the RF Design software to the transmitter board.
