When creating a wireless I/O system engineers have to decide if they will make the system from scratch versus using a module already manufactured. It’s important that engineers know that designing a proprietary solution involves many complex steps, and systems must be certified by the FCC or ESTI in Europe. High frequency RF design involves such challenges as impedance matching, filtering, and shielding and is crucial for quality designs. › Continue reading…

Growth in the wireless electronics field is expanding quickly, yet many electronics designers aren’t sure how to port their existing system to wireless. This can be a big step for engineers since it requires learning about common wireless standards and protocols, and about complex RF propagation. Some engineers might desire to roll their own wireless solution, but be warned that it’s a tough task and their will be lots of things to consider. › Continue reading…

There are dozens of vendors selling wireless transceiver modules for transmission of wireless data. These modules are there to make wireless integration with your system much easier. The prices vary widely, but so does the quality and performance. › Continue reading…
