RF MICRO DEVICES ANNOUNCES 915 MHZ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE DESIGN.RF Micro Devices RF Micro Devices (NASDAQ: RFMD) is a manufacturer of integrated circuits, founded in Greensboro, NC, in 1991 by William J. Pratt, Powell T. Seymour and Jerry D. Neal.[1]. , Inc. (Nasdaq: RFMD RFMD RF Micro Devices (NASDAQ) RFMD Rotary Fluid Management Device ), a provider of proprietary radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) for wireless communications applications, introduced last week, at the LPRA LPRA Low Power Radio Association LPRA Ladies Professional Racquetball Association LPRA Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated LPRA Levittown Public Recreation Association LPRA Lawful Permanent Resident Alien LPRA Livestock Price Reinsurance Agreement Radio Solutions 2000 exhibition, the RD0300, a new 915 MHz transceiver reference design based on the RF2905 RFIC RFIC Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit RFIC Radio Frequency Interface Chip . The RD0300 is designed for developers of low-cost interactive toys, two-way keyless entry systems, wireless security systems, home automation systems and other two-way wireless data or control systems. Designed to provide an easy-to-use, on/off keyed radio that directly interfaces with logic devices or micro-controllers, the RD0300 is intended for applications at 915 MHz under FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. Parts 15.231 or 15.249 type devices. The design incorporates single conversion heterodyne het·er·o·dyne adj. Having alternating currents of two different frequencies that are combined to produce two new frequencies, the sum and difference of the original frequencies, either of which may be used in radio or television receivers by proper radio architecture using separate crystals for transmitting and receiving local oscillators. This radio may be used in single- or multi-user networks operating on a single frequency. The RD0300 is capable of data rates up to 128kbps and operates over 2.7V to 5.0V supply voltages. This design includes a power-down capability and requires a minimum amount of logic signals to send and receive digital data. RF Micro Devices, Inc., an ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9001-certified manufacturer, designs, develops, manufactures and markets proprietary RFICs for wireless communications applications such as cellular and PCS phones, cordless phones, wireless LANs, wireless local loop handsets, industrial radios, wireless security systems and remote meter readers. The company offers a broad array of products -- including amplifiers, mixers, modulators/demodulators, and single-chip receivers, transmitters and transceivers -- representing a substantial majority of the RFICs required in wireless subscriber equipment. The company's strategy is to focus on wireless markets by offering a broad range of standard and custom-designed RFICs in order to position itself as a "one-stop" solution for its customers' RFIC needs. RF Micro Devices, Inc. is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol RFMD. |
