Send and Receive

These RF Transmitter Modules are very small in dimension and have a wide operating voltage range. The low cost RF Transmitter can be used to transmit signal up to 100 meters. It is good for short distance, battery power device development. These wireless transmitters work with 433 MHz receivers. They are breadboard friendly and also work great with microcontrollers to create a very simple wireless data link.

Amplitude-Shift Keying

Amplitude-Shift Keying, or ASK, is a form of amplitude modulation that represents digital data as variations in the amplitude of a carrier wave. In an ASK system, a symbol, representing one or more bits, is sent by transmitting a fixed-amplitude carrier wave at a fixed frequency for a specific time duration. For example, if each symbol represents a single bit, then the carrier signal could be transmitted at nominal amplitude when the input value is 1, but transmitted at reduced amplitude or not at all when the input value is 0.

These modules use a technique known as Amplitude Shift Keying to transmit digital data over the radio. In amplitude shift keying, the amplitude of the carrier wave, 433 MHz signal in our case, is modified in response to an incoming data signal.
