Ultra-low loss Nona-band SMART meter RF coupler offers high electrical isolation
August 13, 2012 // Paul Buckley
Alpha Micro Wireless has unveiled the company’s RF Savvy Series Nona-band Radio Frequency (RF) Coupler.
The patent pending device’s high 10 kV electrical isolation enables safe routing of the RF signal from the network interface card (NIC) or wireless modem to a remote external antenna via a bulk head RF connection in the meter base.
Unlike other inefficient RF coupling schemes and isolator solutions, the RF Savvy series Nona-band RF Coupler offers an ultra-low loss (less than 0.5dB @915 MHz), high electrical isolation (>10 kV) and operates universally over nine frequency bands.
RF input and output terminations are via gold plated 50 Ohm MMCX jack connectors for rugged and easy installation. The RF Coupler has been designed with a low profile (1.0 mm) generic form factor suitable for use within the enclosure of most residential and commercial/industrial electric utility meters.
The RF Savvy series Nona-band RF Coupler can be retro-fitted to most utility meters or tailored for a custom fit to specific OEM applications. Automated metering infrastructure (AMI) wireless system integrators and utility meter manufacturers can choose to retro-fit a generic, 45 mm x 45 mm x 1 mm, version of the low-profile coupler into their SMART metering applications.

The development platform for i.MX 6Quad from element14 (built to the Freescale SABRE Lite design) is an evaluation platform featuring the powerful i.MX 6Q, a multimedia application processor with Quad ARM Cortex-A9 cores at 1.2 GHz from Freescale Semiconductor.
This month, Freescale and element14 are giving away five such platforms, worth £128.06 each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The platform helps evaluate the rich set of peripherals and includes a 10/100/Gb Ethernet port, SATA-II, HDMI v1.4, LVDS, parallel RGB interface, touch screen interface, analog headphone/microphone, micro TF and SD card interface, USB, serial port, JTAG, camera interface, and input keys for Android.
And the winners are...
In our previous reader offer, Pico Technology was giving away one of its recently launched PicoScope 3207B, a 2-channel USB 3.0 oscilloscope worth 1451 Euros. Lucky winner Mr L. Sanchez-Gonzalez from Spain should be receiving his PicoScope 3207B soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with his projects.
