RF Design product showcase

Technews Industry Guide - Wireless 2013 Electrical Power & Protection Industrial Wireless

RF Design supplies a diverse range of products for the wireless applications market, these include:

Axsem’s AX5043 RF transceiver and AX8052F143 RF microcontroller are for use in 70-1050 MHz narrowband communications with low power requirements, as well as the AX5051 transceiver and AX8052F151 RF microcontroller for the 400-470 and 800-940 MHz bands.

Laird Technologies’ BL600 series modules make it easy to add single-mode Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), or Bluetooth Smart, to small, portable, power-conscious devices, including those powered by AAA or coin cell batteries.

Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF51822 is a multi-protocol SoC suited for Bluetooth low energy and 2,4 GHz ultra low-power wireless applications. It is built around a 32-bit ARM Cortex M0 CPU with 256 KB Flash and 16 KB RAM, and integrates a rich selection of analogue and digital peripherals.

Signalquest’s SQ-SEN-200 is an omnidirectional tilt and vibration sensor. It acts like a normally closed switch which chatters open and closed as it is tilted or vibrated.

The u-blox LISA-U200 module is a 3.75G solution providing up to six-band HSPA+ and quad-band GSM/EDGE data transmission in a compact form factor.

The LEON-G100 is a complete and cost efficient solution that brings full feature Quad Band GSM/GPRS data and voice transmission technology.
