The eBook delves into key radio frequency (RF) design topics ranging from signal chain fundamentals and antenna selection to testing, certification, and digital integration.

January 8, 2025 - Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, today announces a new eBook, The RF Design Handbook: Theory, Components, and Applications. The eBook delves into key radio frequency (RF) design topics ranging from signal chain fundamentals and antenna selection to testing, certification, and digital integration.

Many of the devices and systems that people rely on for wireless communication, power transfer, navigation, and sensing operate within the RF spectrum. With such a diverse range of applications and markets, designing RF circuits can be a complex and nuanced process. The RF Design Handbook explains key concepts and provides engineers with the knowledge they need to get started. The eBook also explores the tools and components that will help engineers bring their ideas to life. Among the new products featured in the eBook are the following:

The WFI32E04UE Wi-Fi® microcontroller (MCU) module from Microchip Technology is a high-performance solution for industrial applications. The fully certified module supports 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n radio modes and offers comprehensive WLAN functions for industry-leading connectivity. To ensure reliable and versatile wireless communication, the WFI32E04UE module supports AP, STA, SoftAP, TLS, and WPA/WPA2 modes. A U.FL antenna connector allows for connection to an external antenna.

The GNSS L1 passive ceramic patch and chip antennas from TE Connectivity/Linx Technologies deliver high performance, reliability, and efficiency. The antennas operate within a frequency range of 1561 MHz to 1602 MHz and feature a 50-ohm impedance. Surface-mount and through-hole mount options are available. The GNSS L1 antennas are suitable for applications including asset tracking, precision surveying, and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

The High-Speed FAKRA-Mini (HFM) interconnect system by Molex provides a compact, high-performance solution for modern vehicle architectures. The HFM connectors support data rates of up to 28 Gbps at frequencies of up to 20 GHz. Featuring a compact form factor, the HFM connectors reduce weight, save installation space, and maximize limited PCB real estate. The High-Speed FAKRA-Mini HFM interconnect system is ideal for applications including internet connections, infotainment systems, 5G, Bluetooth®, and Wi-Fi.

The EFR32BG29 series 2 Bluetooth wireless SoCs from Silicon Labs are an advanced, ultra-low-power solution designed for high-performance wireless applications. The EFR32BG29 SoCs feature a powerful 76.8 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M33 core, providing sufficient processing power for complex applications while maintaining energy efficiency. Featuring a 2.4 GHz radio with excellent sensitivity, the EFR32BG29 Series 2 SoCs are an ideal choice for reliable, long-range connectivity.
