ARTIC-R2 Evaluation Board by AnSem

The evaluation board is built around the ARTIC R2 and is created to provide a reference design and to function as a development platform. The board can be connected to a PC and a control software is provided. It can also be used in combination with an external SPI master.

The ARTIC evaluation board contains all required components to transmit ARGOS 2/3 LD messages, ARGOS-4 VLD messages, and to receive ARGOS 3 downlink messages.
The board features a single antenna SMA connection and uses an ARTIC controlled RF switch to alter between transmitting and receiving. The power amplifier is configured to transmit at 500mW output power.

The different building blocks of the evaluation board can be seen in the figure below.

Multiple jumpers are present to allow an optimal usage of the evaluation

board.

Using the different jumpers the user can:
• Use a different SPI master
• Record / analyze SPI data
• Use different power supplies
• Measure current consumption
• Capture INT1 / INT2 signals
