Abstract: While many questions still surround the creation and deployment of the smart grid, the need for a reliablecommunications infrastructure is indisputable. Developers of the IEEE 1901.2 standard identified difficult channel conditionscharacteristic of low-frequency powerline communications and implemented an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)architecture using advanced modulation and channel-coding techniques. This strategy helped to ensure a robust communicationsnetwork for the smart grid.
Abstract: This article describes the Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG) standard in telecommunications and details itshardware implementation. It explains how a fully integrated transceiver such as the MAX9947 can help reduce space and cost, andsolve bus arbitrations in base-station tower equipment.
Abstract: This application note illustrates the flexibility of the MAX7060 ASK/FSK transmitter. While the currently available evaluationkit (EV kit) has been optimized for the device's use in a specific frequency band (i.e., 288MHz to 390MHz), this document addresseshow the EV kit circuitry can be modified for improved operation at 433.92MHz, a frequency commonly used in Europe. Twoalternative match and filter configurations are presented: one for optimizing drain efficiency, the other for achieving higher transmitpower. Features and capabilities of earlier Maxim industrial, scientific, and medical radio-frequency (ISM-RF) transmitters areprovided, allowing comparison of the MAX7060 to its predecessors. Several design guidelines and cautions for using the MAX7060are discussed.

Abstract: Engineers often wish that radio susceptibility (RS) or radio immunity could be cured with an antibiotic, a vaccine, or someform of cure-all. Unfortunately, solving the RS problem is not that easy. Indeed, the laws of physics apply. In this article we discusssources of RS. We also offer tips and hints to protect systems, power supplies, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and electroniccomponents from radio frequency interference.
Abstract: This application note helps system designers choose the correct external components for use with the MAX16948 dualremote antenna LDO/switch, thus ensuring that automobile-regulated phantom antenna supply and output-current-monitoring circuitrymeet performance objectives. An electronic calculator is provided that helps specify the critical external components for theMAX16948, thus reducing design time. The calculator also determines the device's analog output voltage, output current-limitthreshold, and output current-sensing accuracies. The calculator includes new automatic Step By Step feature that assists designerswith component choice.

在研究傳統家用燃氣報警器的基礎上，以ZigBee協議為平臺，構建mesh網狀網絡實現網絡化的智能語音報警系統。由于傳感器本身的溫度和實際環境溫度的影響，傳感器標定后采用軟件補償方法。為了減少系統費用，前端節點采用半功能節點設備，路由器和協調器采用全功能節點設備，構建mesh網絡所形成的家庭內部報警系統，通過通用的電話接口連接到外部的公用電話網絡，啟動語音模塊進行報警。實驗結果表明，在2.4 GHz頻率下傳輸，有墻等障礙物的情況下，節點的傳輸距離大約為35 m，能夠滿足家庭需要，且系統工作穩定，但在功耗方面仍需進一步改善。
Abstract:
On the basis of studying traditional household gas alarm system, this paper proposed the platform for the ZigBee protocol，and constructed mesh network to achieve network-based intelligent voice alarm system. Because of the sensor temperature and the actual environment temperature, this system design used software compensation after calibrating sensor. In order to reduce system cost, semi-functional node devices were used as front-end node, however, full-function devices were used as routers and coordinator，constructed alarm system within the family by building mesh network，connected to the external public telephone network through the common telephone interface, started the voice alarm module. The results indicate that nodes transmit about 35m in the distance in case of walls and other obstacles by 2.4GHz frequency transmission, this is able to meet family needs and work steadily, but still needs further improvement in power consumption.
