Radio frequency (RF) can be a complex subject to navigate, but it does not have to be. If you are just getting started with radios or maybe you cannot find that old reference book about antenna aperture, this guide can help. It is intended to provide a basic understanding of RF technology, as well act as a quick reference for those who “know their stuff” but may be looking to brush up on that one niche term that they never quite understood. This document is also a useful reference for Maxim’s products and data sheets, an index to deeper analysis found in our application notes, and a general reference for all things RF.

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.
提出了一種基于PIC16F877A微控制器和CC2500射頻收發器芯片的低功耗、低成本RFID（Radio Frequency Identification， 無線射頻識別）局域定位系統設計方法，介紹了系統的定位工作原理、主要硬件電路模塊及定位算法的設計和實現。采用基于序列號對時隙數運算的排序算法有效解決了多標簽識別碰撞的問題，基于射頻輻射強度（Received Signal Strength Indication， RSSI）和圓周定位算法實現了基于RFID多標簽系統的平面定位。實驗測試表明，這種射頻定位方法能夠實現一定精度下的無線局域定位的功能。
Radio Frequency Identifi cation (RFID) technology usesradiated and refl ected RF power to identify and track avariety of objects. A typical RFID system consists of areader and a transponder (or tag). An RFID reader containsan RF transmitter, one or more antennas and an RFreceiver. An RFID tag is simply an uniquely identifi ed ICwith an antenna.
This manual describes Freescale’s IEEE™ 802.15.4 Standard compliant MAC/PHY software. The Freescale 802.15.4 MAC/PHY software is designed for use with the Freescale MC1319x and MC1320x, family of short range, low power, 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band transceivers, designed for use with the HCS08 Family of MCUs. The MAC/PHY software also works with the MC1321x family of short range, low power, 2.4 GHz ISM band transceivers that incorporate a low power 2.4 GHz radio frequency transceiver and an 8-bit microcontroller into a single LGA package.
Throughout this manual, the term transceiver refers to either the MC1319x, MC1320x, or the internal counterpart inside the MC1321x System in a Package (SiP).
RFID, the wireless technology that has helped
millions of people around the world to protect their property and
make their workplaces safer is now in danger of being viewed as a
security risk. Ray Stanton examines the love-hate relationship
between people and Radio Frequency Identification [RFID] tags and
highlights the need for informed debate about the privacy issues the
technology raises.
Traditional modulation methods adopted by space agencies for transmit-
ting telecommand and telemetry data have incorporated subcarriers as a sim-
ple means of separating different data types as well ensuring no overlap
between the radio frequency (RF) carrier and the modulated data’s frequency
spectra.
The design and manufacturing of wireless radio frequency (RF) transceivers has developed rapidly in recent ten
yeas due to rapid development of RF integrated circuits and the evolution of high-speed digital signal
processors (DSP). Such high speed signal processors, in conjunction with the development of high resolution
analog to digital converters and digital to analog converters, has made it possible for RF designers to digitize
higher intermediate frequencies, thus reducing the RF section and enhancing the overall performance of the RF
section.
