Wireless Transmitter for Remote Controls

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Wireless Transmitter

Definition

A wireless transmitter is an electronic component used in foot pedals and remote controls to convert user input signals, such as button presses or pedal movements, into modulated radio frequency (RF) or infrared (IR) signals. These signals are transmitted wirelessly to corresponding receivers, enabling cable-free remote control of equipment and machinery. The transmitter typically operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band (2.4–2.4835 GHz) or at 433 MHz, with a transmission range of 100–300 meters line of sight. It uses Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK) modulation and supports data rates from 250 to 1000 kbps, depending on modulation. The device is powered by a regulated DC supply of 3.3–5 V and consumes 20–50 mA during transmission. It operates in temperatures from -20 to 60 °C (non-condensing) and can be stored from -40 to 85 °C, with a humidity range of 10–90% RH. The housing offers ingress protection rated IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529, providing dust and water resistance. The transmitter includes a printed circuit board (PCB), semiconductor components (ICs, transistors), antenna elements, and a plastic housing. It features an SMA female antenna connector and weighs 50–100 g without antenna, with dimensions of 60×40×20 mm. This component is designed for short to medium distance communication and is suitable for industrial remote control applications. For specific model requirements, verify all parameters and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier.

Working Principle

The wireless transmitter receives electrical signals from input sensors such as buttons, switches, or potentiometers. These signals are processed by an encoder or microcontroller, which encodes the user commands. The processed data is then modulated onto a carrier frequency, typically 2.4 GHz RF, 433 MHz RF, or infrared light, using GFSK modulation. The modulated signal is transmitted via an antenna or IR LED to paired receivers over short to medium distances. The transmitter's output power ranges from 10 to 20 dBm EIRP, enabling reliable communication within the specified range. The device operates within a regulated supply voltage of 3.3–5 V DC and consumes 20–50 mA during transmission. It is designed to function in industrial environments with an operating temperature range of -20 to 60 °C and storage from -40 to 85 °C. The ingress protection rating of IP54–IP65 ensures resistance to dust and water, making it suitable for demanding applications.
