) (Nasdaq:RFMI RFMI Request for More Information ) today announced it has released a new and enhanced, interactive PC-based short-range radio RF circuit design assistant tool for low-power wireless application design-in of RFM's Virtual Wire(R) transceivers, receivers, transmitters and modules based on RFM's patented amplifier-sequenced hybrid (ASH) radio architecture.

RFM's improved short-range low-power wireless radio design assistant tool software, the ASH Design Assistant Version 2, is a follow-on to its predecessor the "ASH Design Assistant" that was very well received by the Engineering community using RFM's Virtual Wire(R) products.

The ASH Design Assistant Version 2 software tool can be downloaded FREE of charge from RFM's website at: http://www.rfm.com/corp/ashdesign.htm.

This new tool includes a review of the "ASH Transceiver Designer's Guide" (the ASH hardware designer's technical document) and it translates design formulas, practices, and procedures of the Virtual Wire(R) circuits into an easy to use, interactive design/development tool that will save hours of Engineering R & D time.

Features of the ASH Design Assistant Version 2 software tool include:

--Frequency Selection Guide and Configuration Summaries for all RFM transceivers, transmitters, receivers and modules.

--User device selection of Virtual Wire(R) products for design or Data Radio (DR) Modules for quick prototyping.

--Circuit diagram of user's design.

--Calculated parts count and component values for user design.

--A 'Radio Range Estimation Calculator' with calculation software for estimating radio range associated with user's design data.

--Selectable ancillary interface circuit options.

--User design settings including modulation modulation, in communications

--A 'DR Module Explorer' section which identifies RFM's RF transceiver radio module options, its anatomy, and tips on 'how to modify' to meet specific customization needs.

--An assortment of common short-range device antenna types and criteria that can be simulated and tested by the user for range calculations.

--Quick and easy 'HELP' button selection for direct topic help as well as informative hints and explanations.
