The goal for wireless system manufacturers is to provide low-cost, robust nodes that maximize battery life while extending the range of the network as far as possible. Today’s developers have a wide range of RF technology choices and must consider many factors when selecting the best one for their design, including sub-GHz versus 2.4 GHz frequency trends, operating range and battery life, sensitivity and data rate, network topology and node intelligence, and more.
Designing a smart water or gas utility meter can present a vexing low-power challenge for embedded control systems requiring RF connectivity. Since a single service call from a technician often exceeds the entire cost of the smart meter, battery life must exceed 20 years. Available in English and Simplified Chinese.
The ability to power wireless sensor nodes from harvested energy sources allows embedded designers to offer self-sustaining systems with significantly reduced cost of ownership for the end-user as well as benefits to the environment. Discover key design considerations for wireless sensor nodes powered by harvested energy sources as they become commercially viable and commonplace technologies used in our homes, offices, factories and infrastructure.
System-on-chip (SoC) transmitter solutions greatly simplify the process of designing a remote control and reduce system bill of materials (BOM) cost by eliminating the need for numerous discrete components. The three most common challenges that designers have when designing RF remote controls are maximizing transmission range, ensuring long battery life and maintaining low system costs.
