if I've posted this in the wrong index.
I'm brand new to the
world of RF and I'm attempting a design project I've had in my head
for a while now. I'm getting overwhelmed while trying to source/specify
the correct receiver/transmitter combo for the job.
This is a
household application (not just a garage door opener, need range in
the entire house/multi levels). Ridiculously low data rate needed.
What frequency range should I be looking at? What type of modulation
scheme is recommended? Are there household frequency ranges?
I'm looking for an "off the shelf", ie. digikey, product that's cheap,
SMALL, and user friendly. Something that would work with a small antenna
or PCB antenna would be good too. Any suggestions? Or any features I
should be considering and have not listed here?
A friend suggested
ZigBee but that can be costly.
Basically I have no idea where
to begin designing this RF link and would love any bits of info you
have to share.
