[May 22, 2013] Panasonic develops new multi-band wireless communication technology Tweet May 22, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Panasonic Corporation, a Japan-based electronics manufacturer, has developed a new multi-band wireless communication technology for low powered stable communication through wireless connections. According to the company, the development combines all of the tuning circuits which had previously been necessary for each frequency band, allowing for a stable connection to the network regardless of the location and the wireless standard of the device. In applications where the power supply can be problematic, sensor network radio powered by batteries have become possible. The features of developed technology includes: Supports all frequency bands (400MHz, 900MHz, 1.2GH and 2.4GHz) for IEEE802.15.4x sensor network radio regulations; The surface area of the chip which supports multi band is 12% smaller than a conventional single band chip; The working time is expected to be more than 20 years under typical wireless network operating conditions in the field of smart meters and HEMS applications, with data transmission every 30 seconds with a 1200mAh battery, the company said. The development is based on new technologies which include: Multi-band technology makes the removal of some inductors on receivers and filters on transmitters that were previously necessary for each frequency band possible through digital assist analog circuits; Demodulator with direct frequency detection scheme; Panasonic holds 25 Japanese patents and 14 overseas patents, including pending applications, for the development, the company added. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
