Power Amplifier for PSoC BLE

[Anonymous]

 Hi All

   

Good Day to all!

   

I'm using PSoC BLE in my new project, I know the BLE range is 10M only. But my requirement is 80M Line of Sight! Can anyone suggest a Power amplifier to boost my BLE signal?

       

Best regards

Your range is a function of Rx sensitivity, Tx Power, Antenna gain.

       

A 100 mW amplifier at 2.4 Ghz pretty common. If you google "bluetooth rf power amplifier"

   

quite a few hits, Triquint, Maxim, uChip.....

How about getting the extra range with a better antenna.  Like this http://www.qsl.net/eb4eqa/bt_yagi/bt_yagi.htm. This one gives you about 8dB of gain and you do not need extra IC's just a better antenna.  You could add more elements to get more gain.

here is some design software http://www.vk5dj.com/yagi.html.

I am sorry the last post was for an HF yagi it will work but try this one http://www.iw5edi.com/ham-radio/?yagi-designer-2.0, or this Yagi https://www.ab9il.net/wlan-projects/wifi6.html. This one gives you about 21db that should take care of your issue.

Ebay, 24 dbi, I have seen these used on links exceeding 20 miles.

 Hi All;

   

Good Day!

   

Thanks for all your repleis! My product is a small portable device so I think a 100mW amplifier at 2.4GHz will be the best solution to go!

   

Thank you guys! See you later!
