Low Cost 2.4 GHz Transceiver CC2500 Module

Wireless Communication with 2.4 GHz RF Transceiver CC2500.

CC2500 is wireless transmitter receiver developed by Texas instruments which is used in 2400-2483.5 MHz ISM/SRD

band systems.

In this project, the input present at PORTD of transmitter atmega8 is transmitted wirelessly to the PORTD of receiver atmega8.

This project shows how to configure registers of CC2500, how to give commands to CC2500 and how to activate transmission or receiver mode of CC2500 via SPI interfacing with avr microcontroller. The CC2500 RF module is a

low-cost 2.4 GHz transceiver used in very low power wireless applications. The RF transceiver is integrated with

a highly configurable baseband modem.

It support OOK, 2-FSK, GFSK, and MSK modulations. It works in voltage range of 1.8 – 3.6V.

Two AA batteries are enough to power it. It has 30m range with onboard antenna.

It is always used with microcontroller which support SPI communication.
