fig.11 from datasheet http://www.vishay.com/docs/82187/tsop362x.pdf is the answer for transmission LED wavelenght (you can't speak about bandwith here because an IR LED has a bandwith of 10-20nm) and fig.5 for the max frequency modulation In direct sunlight almost sure will not work, will be blinded by the sun. You need an extra black or blue lense in front of it. Vasile On 10/17/08, Dr Skip wrote: > Sorry for the bandwidth - I think 40kHz will be more like it, and not > these units.
