MHX921 Operating Manual: Chapter2 General 1
2. General
2.0 Product Overview
The MHX921 is a high-performance embedded wireless data transceiver.
Operating in the 902 - 928 MHz ISM band, this a spread-spectrum module
is capable of providing reliable wireless data transfer between almost any
type of equipment. The small-size and superior RF performance of this
module make it ideal for many applications.
While a pair of MHX921 modules can link two terminal devices (“point-to-
point” operation); multiple modules can be used together to create a
network of various topologies, including “point-to-multipoint” and
“repeater” operation. Multiple independent networks can operate
concurrently, so it is possible for unrelated communications to take place in
the same or a nearby area without sacrificing privacy or reliability.
1.1 Features
Key features of the MHX921 include:
transmission within a public, license-exempt band of the radio
spectrum1 – this means that it can be used without access fees
(such as those incurred by cellular airtime).
a serial I/O data port with handshaking and hardware flow
control, allowing the MHX921 to interface directly to any
equipment with an asynchronous serial interface.
ease of installation and use – the MHX921 module uses a
subset of standard AT style commands, very similar to those
used by traditional telephone line modems.
all units in a system are physically identical, and can be
configured as a master, repeater or slave using the AT
command set. No hardware modifications are required
128 sets of user-selectable pseudo-random hopping patterns,
intelligently designed to offer the possibility of separately
operating multiple networks while providing security,
reliability and high tolerance to interference.
encryption key with 65536 user-selectable values to maximize
security and privacy of communications.
32-bit of CRC error detection and auto re-transmit to provide
accuracy and reliability of data.

TDMA (time division multiple access) support, allowing
multi-slave access in point-to-point mode.
roaming ability, allowing repeaters and slaves to re-
synchronize with a new master if the synchronization pulse
from the original master is lost.
While the typical application for the MHX921 is to provide a short- to mid-
range wireless communications link between DTEs, it can be adapted to
almost any situation where an asynchronous serial interface is used and data
intercommunication is required.
2.1 Output Power Level
The Output Power Level determines at what power the MHX921 transmits.
The MHX921’s sensitive receiver can operate with very low power levels,
so it is recommended that the lowest power necessary is used; using
excessive power contributes to unnecessary “RF pollution”.
Ideally, you should test the communications performance between units
starting from a low power level and working upward until the RSSI is
sufficiently high and a reliable link is established. The conditions will vary
widely between applications, the output power settings can be calculated
based on following information.
• Transmitter antenna gain
• Cable loss
• Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) requirement by FCC
Regulations
Power Setting = 36 – Antenna Gain – Cable Loss
The power setting must be no more than the above calculation value. Any
higher is a violation of FCC rules. See IMPORTANT warning below.

3.0 Overview
Qualified and experienced personnel must carry out the
installation, removal or maintenance of all antenna
components.
The MHX921 complies with FCC part 15 at the modular level for operation
in the license-free 902-928 MHz ISM band. This chapter provides
guidelines for installing and deploying equipment which incorporates the
MHX921 module.
3.1 Estimating the Gain Margin
Successful communication between MHX921 modules is dependent on
three main factors:
• System Gain
• Path Loss
• Interference
System gain is a calculation in dB describing the performance to be
expected between a transmitter-receiver pair. The number can be calculated
based on knowledge of the equipment being deployed. The following four
factors make up a system gain calculation:
1. Transmitter power (user selectable)
2. Transmitter gain (transmitting antenna gain minus cabling loss between
the transmitting antenna and the MHX921 module)
3. Receiver gain (Receiving antenna gain minus cabling loss between the
receiving antenna and the module)
4. Receiver sensitivity (Specified as -108dBm on the MHX921 module)
In the following illustration, the transmitting antenna has a gain of 6 dB,
and the receiving antenna has a gain of 3 dB. The cable loss between the
module and the antenna is 2 dB on both the transmitting and receiving side.

MHX921 Operating Manual:Glossary 5
Figure 1 Gain Calculation
The power level has been set to 30dBm (1W) on the transmitter, and the
receiver sensitivity for the MHX921 is -108dBm.
System gain would be calculated to be:
30 - 2 + 6 + 3 - 2 + 108 = 143 dB.
Figure 2 System Deploying
When deploying your system, care must be taken to ensure the path loss
(reduction of signal strength from transmitter to receiver in dB) between
equipment does not exceed the system gain (140 dB in the above example).
It is recommended to design for a gain margin of at least 20 dB to ensure
reliable communication. Gain margin is the difference between system gain
and path loss. Referring to the same example, suppose the path loss is 100
dB, the gain margin would be 40 dB, which is more than adequate for
reliable communication.
Path loss is a very complicated calculation which mainly depends on the
terrain profile, and the height of the antennas off the ground.
The following table provides path loss numbers for varying antenna heights
and antenna separation: These numbers are real averages taken from rural
environments. They do not apply to urban, non-line-of-sight environments.

Once the equipment is deployed, you can verify the signal strength by
entering into Command Mode and reading Register S123. This register
provides the average signal strength in dBm. The minimum strength for
communication is roughly -108dBm. For consistent reliable
communication, you should try to deploy the equipment such that signal
strength exceeds -95dBm.
3.2 Antennas and Cabling
This section describes the recommended procedure for installing cabling
and antennas for use with the MHX921 module.
3.2.1 Internal Cabling
The most common method for installing the module is to run a cable from
the module’s MCX connector to a reverse TNC bulkhead connector on the
chassis of the equipment as shown in Figure 3. This cable can be purchased
from Microhard Systems.
Figure 3 Suggested Internal Cabling
Cable losses are negligible for the short piece used within the chassis.
Additional losses up to 0.5 dB may be present in the MCX and Reverse
TNC connections.

WARNING:
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements for mobile
transmitting devices, a separation
distance of 23 cm or more should
be maintained between the
antenna of this device and
persons during device operation.
To ensure compliance, operations
at closer than this distance is not
recommended. The antenna used
for this transmitter must not be
co-located in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
WARNING:
Direct human contact with the
antenna is potentially unhealthy
when the MHX921 is generating
RF energy. Always ensure that
the MHX921 equipment is
powered down during
installation.
WARNING:
Never work on an antenna
system when there is lightning in
the area.
3.2.2 Installing External Cables, Antennas and Lightning
Arrestors
Never work on an antenna system when there is lightning in the area.
Direct human contact with the antenna is potentially unhealthy when the
MHX921 is generating RF energy. Always ensure that the MHX921
equipment is powered down during installation. At all times a distance of
23 cm must be maintained between the antenna and any person when the
device is in operation.
Surge Arrestors
The most effective protection against lightning is to install two lightning
(surge) arrestors, one at the antenna, the other one at the interface with the
equipment. The surge arrestor grounding system should be fully
interconnected with the transmission tower and power grounding systems to
form a single, fully integrated ground circuit. Typically, both ports on surge
arrestors are N-female.
External Filter
Although the MHX921 is capable of filtering out RF noise in most
environments, there are circumstances that require external filtering.
Paging towers and cellular base stations in close proximity to the MHX921
antenna can desensitize the receiver. Microhard Systems’ external cavity
filter eliminates this problem. The filter has two N-female ports and should
be connected in line at the interface to the RF equipment.
Weatherproofing
Type N and RTNC connectors are not weatherproof. All connectors should
be taped with rubber splicing tape (weatherproofing tape), and then coated
with a sealant.
Cabling
The following coax cables are recommended:
Table 3 Cable Loss
Cable Loss (dB/100ft)
LMR 195 10.7
LMR 400 3.9
LMR 600 2.5
Factors to take into consideration when choosing a cable are:
• price;
• bend radius limitations (the lower performance cables generally can
bend more sharply)
• performance requirements; and,
• distance between the equipment and the antenna.
8 MHX921 Operating Manual: Glossary
WARNING:
MAXIMUM EIRP
FCC and IC Regulations allow
up to 36dBm equivalent
isotropically radiated power
(EIRP). Therefore, the sum of
the transmitted power (in dBm),
the cabling loss and the antenna
gain cannot exceed
36 dBm with respect to the
isotropic radiator.
WARNING:
The MHX921 can only be used
with any antennas listed in
Appendix A.
WARNING:
Be careful with dBi vs dBd gains
on antenna specifications.
Antenna manufactures may not
clearly indicate the gain on the
antenna if it is dBd or dBi. Note
1dBd = 2.15dBi.
When installing the cable, always begin fastening at the top near the
antenna connector/surge arrestor. The cable must be supported at the top
with a hose clamp or wrap lock, and at 5 ft intervals down the length of the
tower. Over-tightening the fasteners will dent the cable and reduce
performance. If properly grounded surge arrestors are not installed at both
the top and the bottom of the cable, then the cable should be grounded to
the tower at these locations using a cable grounding kit. If the tower is non-
conductive, then a separate conductor, physically separate from the cable,
should be run down the tower.
Antenna
Before choosing an antenna, you should have some knowledge of the path
loss and the topology of the equipment. If the equipment is in a fixed
location and is to communicate with only one other unit also in a fixed
location, then a Yagi antenna is suitable. Choose a Yagi with enough gain
to ensure adequate gain margin. When deploying the Yagi, point the
antenna towards the intended target, ensuring the antenna elements are
perpendicular to the ground for vertical polarization.
In applications where there are multiple units that you must communicate
with or units, which are in motion, you may select an Omni-directional
antenna with appropriate gain.
See appendix A for a list of approved antennas that can be used with
the MHX921 radio modem. If you require another type of antenna
please contact Microhard Systems Inc. The MHX921 CANNOT be
used with any antenna that does not appear in Appendix A.
Microhard Systems Inc. can provide you with approved antennas to ensure
FCC and Industry Canada compliance.
FCC Regulations allow up to 36dBm effective radiated power (EIRP).
Therefore, the sum of the transmitted power (in dBm), the cabling loss
and the antenna gain cannot exceed 36dBm with respect to the isotropic
radiator.
EIRP is calculated as follows:
EIRP = Tx Power(dBm) - Cable/Connector Loss(dB) + Ant Gain(dBi)
Antenna Gains must be in dBi when calculating the 36dBm EIRP limit.
1dBd = 2.15dBi
Use the guidelines in the previous section for calculating cable and
connector losses. If cabling and connector losses are 2 dB, then the
maximum allowable gain of the antenna will be 8 dB.
MHX921 Operating Manual:Glossary 9
Examples:
FCC and Industry Canada Regulations allow up to 36dBm equivalent
isotropically radiated power (EIRP). Therefore, the sum of the
transmitted power (in dBm), the cabling loss and the antenna gain
cannot exceed 36dBm with respect to the isotropic radiator.
Example 1)
What is the maximum power the MHX921 can be set to comply with
FCC and IC given the following equipment given a Rubber Ducky Ant
Gain 2dBi and no cable or connectors in the system?
Max EIRP 36dBm
Max TX power = EIRP – Ant Gain(dBi) + Cable/Connector loss (dB)
Ant Gain dBi = 2dBi
Max TX power = 36dBm – 2dBi + 0dB = 34dBm
We can set the modem to the maximum power setting of 30dBm.
Example 2)
What is the maximum power the MHX921 can be set to comply with
FCC and IC given the following equipment given a Yagi Ant Gain
12dBd and cable and connector loss of 4.5 dB?
Max EIRP 36dBm
Max TX power = EIRP – Ant Gain(dBi) + Cable/Connector loss (dB)
Ant Gain dBi = Ant Gain dBd + 2.15 dB
Yagi Gain (dBi) = 12 + 2.15 = 14.15dBi
Max TX power = 36dBm – 14.15dB + 4.5dB = 26.35dBm
We must round down
Hence Max TX power = 26dBm
Example 3)
What is the maximum power the MHX921 can be set to comply with
FCC and IC given the following equipment given a Omni Ant Gain
6dBd and cable and connector loss of 2.5 dB?
Max EIRP 36dBm
Max TX power = EIRP – Ant Gain(dBi) + Cable/Connector loss (dB)
Ant Gain dBi = Ant Gain dBd + 2.15 dB
Omni Gain (dBi) = 6 + 2.15 = 8.15dBi
Max TX power = 36dBm – 8.15dB + 2.5dB = 30.35dBm
Hence Max TX power = 30dBm
