1. Product Introduction
▫️ Key Features
Ra-20
The Ra-20 is an ultra-high-performance RF front-end module designed for IoT, short-range wireless communication, and Industry 4.0 wireless sensor networks, featuring the SEMTECH fourth-generation LoRa Plus™ LR2021 RF chip as its core. Its key advantage lies in an ultra-compact package and extreme RF performance. By optimizing the collaborative design of power amplifier, low-noise amplifier, filter, and peripheral matching network, it achieves high power, low loss, low spurious emissions, and strong anti-interference capability, while meeting mainstream global regulatory certification requirements.
The Ra-20 module supports Sub-GHz and 2.4GHz ISM bands. It features three key capabilities: ultra-long-range transmission, high-speed data throughput, and global single-SKU adaptability.
▫️ Technical Highlights
RF Performance
- Transmit power: measured maximum transmit power of 21.5dBm@Sub-GHz, 12dBm@2.4GHz
- Power flatness: ≤ ±0.5dBm. Stable full-band and full-power transmission and the power level is software-adjustable in multiple steps.
Receiver sensitivity:
- Sub-GHz: up to -147dBm@BWLORA = 31kHz/SF12/CR4/5 (refer to chip datasheet); measured -122.5dBm@BWLORA = 400kHz/SF7/CR4/5
- 2.4GHz: up to -137.5dBm@BWLORA = 200kHz/SF12/CR4/5 (refer to chip datasheet); measured -120dBm@BWLORA = 400kHz/SF7/CR4/5
- Frequency offset tolerance: ±33% BW, far exceeding the previous generation’s ±25% BW. High-precision frequency stability can be achieved without a TCXO.
- Harmonic suppression: 490MHz@22dBm 2nd and 3rd harmonics ≤ -68dBc, 2450MHz@12dBm 2nd and 3rd harmonics ≤ -66dBc, with sufficient margin to pass CE, FCC and other regulations.
