Descriptions
Overview
MD903A1 is an easy-to-integrate low-power module for wireless-link application. With state-of-the-art
TM
Platanus protocol and networking kit, large network (up to 16000 nodes) can be easily formed.
Equipped with ISM-band RF operated at 903~927MHz bands and popular ARM Cortex M0 32-bit
MCU along with embedded flash memory and SRAM, MD903A1 is an ideal embedded solution for
system integrator to develop wireless applications with no worry about design hassles.
Easy to Integrate and Use
Designed as the LAN module, MD903A1 has only the board area of 4cm x 2cm, compact enough for
most embedded system design. An on-board antenna has been built (with option to be connected to
the external antenna) and the RF matched network is calibrated to optimize the RF performance when
the module is shipped, saving the design hassles for application designers.
There are total 27 stamp pads on MD903A1 with multiple digital/analog interfaces: 1x I2C, 1xSPI,
2xUART, 29xGPIOs, 1x Fast Interrupt, 3xPWMs and also up to 4-channel 12bit-ADC. This brings the
design flexibility to end applications that MD903A1 is easy to interface with peripheral controls and
sensors. Through the robust wireless link, controlled/collected information can be easily exchanged
with the upper application layers.

MD903A1
Ready-to-go Sub-GHz Radio Link with Excellent Reliability
The wireless link utilizes the sub-GHz radio band, requiring no special licenses (free-ISM) and
certification. MD903A1 comply with the FCC part 15C regulations. Compared to the crowded 2.4GHz
band, sub-GHz radio link allows better distance and penetration especially in the hostile indoor
environment. In particular, with WiFi and Bluetooth packed the 2.4GHz band these days, MD903A1 is
immune from the 2.4GHz interference and delivers the reliable wireless link. With the data rate of
500kbps in 2FSK, the bandwidth use efficiency is 16x better than 2.4GHz Zigbee (2MHz). MD903A1
can deliver the link budget up to 107dB (TX maximum power: 11dBm, RX Sensitivity level: -96dBm)
without external adding components. The Line-of-Sight (LOS) link distance is over 300 meters.
Robust Two-way Networking
TM
MD903A1 has a built-in protocol Platanus to support “two-way” networking, saving the SI’s design
headache of linking large amounts of wireless nodes. When used with MA901A1 (Access Point),
MD903A1 can support two types of network hierarchies: STAR and TREE (as shown below). When
MD903A1 is configured in STAR networking, up to 250 nodes can be supported. When MD903A1 is
configured in TREE network, up to 16000 nodes can be supported. Asymmetrical downlink and uplink
are supported to balance between network reliability and response time, and the programmable
network parameters can be used to optimize for each use scenario. Figure 1 is START network, figure
2 is TREE network.
Figure 1. STAR configuration
Figure2. TREE configuration
TCP/IP Connectivity
Each MD903A1 is assigned a 4-byte MAC address, and assigned a unique network ID when joining a
network. M2C’s MA901A1 (Access Point) has already been shipped with the TCP/IP gateway and the
managing software library. Thus the upper-layer application layer can access each MD903A1 in the
network to exchange data “two-way” via the Ethernet or WiFi. This makes the cloud-based application
developer easy to hook up with the privately-own network when building with MD903A1.

5 How to Use MD903A1 to Design & Compliance with FCC
requirements
The MD903A1 is a proprietary product design and manufactured by M2C (M Communication Inc.) for
integrated into wireless products manufactured by M2C for sub 1GHz ISM communication application.
And the chapter will complete explain how to design MD903A1 on product.
5.1 50ohm RF Trace Calculation
The MD903A1 module has 50ohm impedance RF output pin (RFIO) to connect external antenna on
carried board (or called Mother Board). RF trace on carried board is between RF output pin of
MD903A1 and antenna on carried board and the trace must is 50ohm to obtain best RF performance.
Also, 50ohm trace is recommended for PCB layout.
Engineer (or Developer) can use “PCB Transmission Line calculation tool” (example: Polar) to obtain
value about RF layout information on PCB. Engineer just fill in value that FR4relative parameter in
“PCB Transmission Line calculation tool”, include PCB stack, substrate height, PCB dielectric, trace
thickness….etc. 50ohm transmission line dimension can be got from the tool. Below figure show the
PCB Transmission Line calculation tool.
Fill inFR4 Parameter
Figure12. Trace design for the PCB layout
Example: Use 2-layer FR4 PCB to design 50ohm trace
The figure 13 is 2-layers FR4 PCB parameter (PCB stack). The RF trace width and spacing that is
between RF trace and ground plane and others value that is 50ohm design requires is show in figure
14.

5.2 PCB Design
MD903A1 provides 3 antennas (frequency: 902MHz~928MHz) for engineer chooses, one is PIFA type
antenna; the other two are dipole antenna. About antenna manufacturer and model number can refer
chapter 7.
When using dipole antenna on carried board, just need to make sure the impedance of RF trace is
50ohm, as below figure 15.
Figure15-1.Reversed SMA connector to connect dipole antenna
50ohm RF trace
Figure15-2.Reversed SMA connector to connect dipole antenna
When using PIFA antenna in design PCB, need to make sure the impedance of RF trace is 50ohm.
Structure of PIFA antenna can separate two parts. One is metal part that solder on PCB; the other is
antenna trace on PCB. The different antenna trace length has different center frequency. Engineer
can use network analyzer to fine-tune antenna trace length, so that antenna can work on required
frequency (902MHz~928MHz). The trace dimension in figure18 is recommended to PCB layout.

5.3 PCB Layout Recommend
RF connector: Reversed SMA connector.
RF trace length is less 80mm.
5.4 PCB Layout Guide
Some general rules of thumb for designing RF-related layouts for good RF performance are:
Use as much continuous ground plane metallization as possible.
Avoid the separation of the ground plane metallization at RF area.
Use as many grounding vias (especially near to the GND pins) as possible to minimize series
parasitic inductance between the ground pour and the GND pins.
Use a series of GND vias (a so called “via curtain”) along the PCB edges and internal GND metal
pouring edges. The maximum distance between the vias should be less than lambda/10 of the
10th harmonic. This is required to reduce the PCB radiation at higher harmonics caused by the
fringing field of these edges.
Avoid using long and/or thin transmission lines to connect the components. Otherwise, due to its
distributed parasitic inductance some detuning effects can occur.
Avoid using loops and long wires to obviate its resonances.
Always ensure good VDD filtering by using some bypass capacitors (especially at the range of
the operating frequency).
